Sweet mother of god. This took an unexpectedly dark turn.

The answer to both is “white.”

On whom?

Hasn’t whined about needing a ballroom to feel safe

He could declare himself a communist, the right-wing chattering class would spin it as a brilliant move, and his rubes wouldn't care.

Ben Shapiro on Sam Harris conceded the liberal case against Trump — corruption, coup, dictator-talk — then explained why he'll vote Republican anyway. The most clarifying interview I've read in a year, not about who you'd think. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-most-a...

he looks like a cartoon bird who repairs cars

The fake ocean bothers me to this day

And as it often does, The Simpsons predicted the future when someone wanted Hop on Pop banned from the Toronto library, because it was tragic the way they hopped on pop. web.archive.org/web/20140602...

Of course, it's now considered a virtue in MAGA

The same JD Vance who just last week was campaigning in Hungary? That JD Vance?

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social can't top this on the @nytimes.com home page right now.

Dude's only been mayor for a few months and has filled that many potholes? When does he sleep?

AI slop, Moon edition.

When the editor of *Mother Jones* says this, you know they've gone too far.

Iran is good at using slop because they have a really solid narrative vision which is using legos to call your war criminal opponents alcoholic pedophiles.

This reminds me of a conversation with a government colleague about some research being consolidated under a single banner. On the surface, it's a positive. In reality, it means it can be killed with the stroke of a pen.

hmm

The thing about this is that both sides are tribalists. I don't like Trump, but he's far better than Kamala. Similarly, a senile Joe Biden was better than Trump. We have too few choices so we make the least bad one based on tribalism (or how our brains have been washed).

goddamn lol

GWB was onto something with the soft bigotry of low expectations.

BlueSky is no fun. Twitter has Chuck Norris at the top. Haven't even seen a single post in my feed about him here.

Well prepared candidates will be able to exploit this in ads and debates. Showing someone has no agency and connecting them to an unpopular Trump could be very good tv.

Reality TV has done more damage to the country than I can fathom.

A reminder we can choose to have compassionate, literate leaders.

Very on-brand for Gingrich to seek out a new, younger canal the moment the current canal starts having health problems

This is far and away the best thing I've seen on this site

Reminds me of late stage Harry Caray just talking about whatever came into his head. Shawon Dunston backwards is Notsnud Nowahs.

My first thought went to @thatbilloakley.bsky.social.

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

Another funny story, several years back we had a Masters student write a thesis about NASA's relationship with Texas and Aggie, and they described the working philosophy as "you shoot the Aggie into space, but you have the Longhorn do the math. And don't switch those roles." -OS

Makes you think

“We don’t want to do robot death machines or mass surveillance, we’re just throwing a massive hissy fit and all sorts of threats at a company that won’t help us do robot death machines and mass surveillance” is … not exactly convincing

Kind of reassuring from someone vying to be an octogenarian senator essentially from the start.

This seems like a million years ago

OMG @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

I suppose this goes for a lot of companies, but it's depressing that they can staff a whole company with folks who are able to look themselves in the mirror each morning before heading to work at the Help Kids Cheat at School Corporation.
