My return to Minneapolis has reached a milestone: the first freezing as fuck day since I moved back.

(Rod Serling) Submitted for your ranked choice the case of one Andrew M. Cuomo, smarting scion of suburbia dethroned over workplace boundaries, unwilling to relax his wandering grip on power, and doomed to repeat humiliating attempts at return upon that most brittle boundary of all—the twilight zone

I wanna make this shirt, but I'm pretty sure I'll get cease and desisted

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

One big lesson from Mamdani's victory: Don't be afraid of billionaires. Make billionaires afraid of you. Take them on, don't back down. Billionaires from Musk on down used all their tricks and failed. Democrats are trained to lust after billionaire money, but courage has tremendous value.

There’s no daylight between what Candace says here about “the Jews” & what Nazi propagandists & Father Coughlin said about the Jews in the 1930s. Her show is one of the top 5 “conservative” podcasts in the US. She has 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.3 million followers on X.

What were assholes into before crypto and AI?

Billy caught during the two or three seconds a day he’s willing to look at me. #Caturday

A good argument for socialism is $1 trillion can’t buy you happiness

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Perhaps the first introduction of the sad pathetic adult comic book geek trope in mass media. Landmark television. A top 5 Dragnet episode!

Oh, come on! I've seen Raiders literally dozens of times, I'm not going to watch it again just because it's on @tcmtv.bsky.social. There's no way I... (Currently up to the Marion drinking contest scene.)

My 3yo was listening to Ross Douthat's podcast when he turned to me, gravely, and asked: "Daddy, did liberal feminist women ruin the workplace?" And when I told him, "it's debatable, but they certainly don't seem to be reading Rod Dreher's Substack," he started crying.

Francesca Scorsese has a "Hey everyone, my dad is Martin Scorsese!" energy that is delightful and endearing.

Have you seen this, Jake Tapper? This calls for another investigation into Joe Biden's cognitive decline IMMEDIATELY!

Leonard Rosenman.

Well, I LOVED it when I was 11-years old.

Because it came and went, lasting only one season in 1967, most people are unaware that the opening credits sequence of Garrison's Gorillas was fucking sensational. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V4b...

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

How good is Chuck Schumer's eyesight and reading comprehension? Because I hope he can see the writing on the wall.

Saw Fantastic Four. My hot take: Mole Man stealing Pan Am building, seen only in brief flashback, would have been a much more fun plot. Why have a CGI main villain when you could have had Paul Walter Hauser? And Natasha Lyonne in only two scenes? Fuck that.

Pulitzer Prize photo right here.

Even the painting of Ronald Reagan did more to help this dude than Mr. "Exit Stage Left," RFK Jr.

How can you call any member of Mamdani's transition team qualified when not one of them has ever had a show on Fox News? Not even a weekend show!

Fearing controversy, Chuck Schumer refuses to say if he thinks the first Die Hard is the best Die Hard movie.

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

Reminds me of Squeaky Fromme's friendly sit-down on the Virginia Graham show.

Crisp, sunny, breezy, changing colors, falling leaves. Like beautiful fall days? You could do a lot worse than this.

The panels are very upset that zohran did not offer Unity to the president who posted an AI video of himself dumping shit on protesters

Lesson from last night: avoid conventional wisdom. Mamdani could have been like, "I'm just a rookie assemblyman. Should wait my turn, check in with Schumer and Jeffries to see when it's okay for me to move up." He had a better thought: "Fuck those guys."

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

just circling back

stay tuned

Just realized this has a similar cadence to "Rock climbing, Joel. Rock climbing," and I think it's apt.

Midterms, motherfuckers. Midterms.

To succeed in this day and age, a politician has to go on the Joe Rogan show. Why didn't Mamdani grasp this?

UPDATE: No.

If the door hits Cuomo's ass on the way out, he'll finally get an idea of what it's like to be a woman on his staff.

Same.

"WMDs will be found in Iraq for sure." "A black man named Barack Hussein Obama will never be elected POTUS." "A Muslim socialist will never become NYC Mayor." Keep the predictions coming mainstream media pundits. You guys are crushing it.

Yeah, for a certain kind of progressive, a progressive actually winning a race ruins everything.

Today is the first day of the rest of the end of Andrew Cuomo's political career.

I'm crying.

I think my New York friends have that shit covered. And I'm happy to be in a position to vote for Omar Fateh.

This is the face of the Democratic leadership, our party's leader in the fight against fascism: He voted for the guy Trump supports and he's too much of a chickenshit to admit it. Vive la Résistance!

My dad knew Cheney since he was fords chief of staff and would always say “i liked him then. Idk what the hell happened” In the run up to the second Iraq war my dad wrote an article comparing it to the gulf of Tonkin and Cheney himself made sure my father was fired from his gov job Anyway he’s dead
