Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.

8 years of "What is a woman?" and now it turns out that the comeback was "define a child"

Still watching Mayor Bruce Harrell's speech in segments. The way he gets mad (and always has) when anyone asks whether he understands how hard it is for regular people to afford to live here is so telling.

looking forward to seeing bruce say katie wilson’s name for the first time

does anyone know how many spaces come before a comma? i’m trying to detail some heinous crimes in an email

“DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT” is an all-timer

Update: He didn’t, it wasn’t, and Seattle is closing the book on a hat-trick of failed administrations. Congrats to Katie and her team! www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

It’s okay because the Republicans promised to hold this exact same vote in a month

🚨🚨 Just in: Katie Wilson has taken a narrow lead in the Seattle mayor race.

A fine day to remember Jim Harbaugh's unique relationship with "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" and the remarkable interpretive work that his and other football brains have done on this important text.

we’ll get that money in about two weeks, they’re looking into it very strongly

*Women receive substantially lower "potential" ratings despite receiving higher performance ratings *Differences in potential ratings account for half of the gender promotion gap *Women’s lower potential ratings do not reflect future performance: women subsequently outperform male colleagues

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now. If those were your senators, call them and don't stop. I will also be calling even though they arent mine

angus king better like the taste of piss because every restaurant where he’s recognized will make sure his meal contains some

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

it is pretty darkly funny seeing posts like URGENT!!!! it is SUNDAY EVENING you must PUT DOWN YOUR DINNER and call your senator IMMEDIATELY to politely request they not press the big button marked "fuck you". this will not actually stop them from pressing the fuck you button. functioning democracy

I was obviously being facetious but it only took two days for dems to do precisely this

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

yeah everyone who’s in my mentions telling me schumer’s against this needs to understand what’s really going on. this is his caucus. he literally has one job — and he’s failing.

As Democrats get their votes lined up and talking points ready, it’s important to remember they’re working together to lessen the fallout from their angry base. In March (see below), Schumer voted to advance the bill but didn’t *technically* vote for final passage. It’s dishonest bullshit.

you'll soon understand what makes Chuck Schumer such a legendary politician when he's on tv explaining why his Democrats Voluntarily Eat Shit plan was their "best chance at not eating shit" with shit all over him and he's STILL got that smug look on his face. generational talent

This vote has not happened yet. Call your Senators, especially your Democratic Senators, and tell them that a deal without protection NOW for health insurance tax credits is unacceptable.

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

there are long-term goals but at the end of the day they honestly just like hurting people

if linkedin was a person it would be rob saka

Did you know gov shutdowns aren’t in the Constitution, any law, or Court ruling? They exist because of a 1980 OLC memo—a lawyer’s opinion that everyone just went along with. Before 1980, funding gaps didn’t cause shutdowns. What one memo created, another can undo. How the next D admin can undo it:

I’ve worked in government and this is true

Um, @variety.com? That’s…not what that means. 😳 variety.com/2025/music/n...

katie wilson is still in the race for seattle mayor but this thing is tight—like, it could come down to double digits. check your ballot & make sure it’s counted!

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

make it a plank in the 2028 dem platform 👇

Drop box votes appear to be above 250,000, with a majority of those not counted. If there are about 140,000 votes still out there, Wilson will need to get around 54 percent of the remaining votes.

it’s not too late to hate on bruce harrell, STAY IN LINE

a Discovery feed but it's Crashouts could fix us

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

This person took this when they called the race

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't. Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.
