Extremely telling detail from this WSJ piece about Platner's demise: "Women on the campaign told Platner he was being managed by advisers who treated them unfairly and didn’t value their ideas," with one telling him point-blank "Hey, you have a very sexist, misogynistic staff."

The only part of Platner dropping out that I don't like is missing out on the Republican oppo drop that was coming. It was going to be Biblical and there are clearly certain people who needed to see it happen.

at the Dyson service center and this dog just realized it's in Dog Hell

i sincerely hope it was against their will

Where's @jcsalterego.bsky.social ?

Personally, Janet Mills is just happy she got through this without anyone finding out about the six years she spent as a mercenary fighting in the Rhodesian Bush War from 1969-1975.

A) this is ADORABLE B) never have I ever heard anyone with this accent say the word “grams.”

When I took office, we set out to change the trajectory of Illinois by restoring fiscal responsibility, investing in our people, and rebuilding confidence in our state. Our work is paying off — and businesses are taking notice.

i am rewatching justified and may i just say this fucking guy, this is the guy right here

oh fucking hell genuinely awful person

RIP bonnie tyler. lotta folks tonight are gonna learn the extent to which 'total eclipse of the heart' is outside their karaoke range

Oh boy Freddie

my takes correct my films noir my senators ain't dead all circuses, no bread

this is really my magnum opus, and i could easily add another 5000 words fleshing out more details of the service history of some of the auxiliaries

Hopefully people will realize Mamdani was successful because he was Mamdani and this Platner disaster destroys Katz’s career

is the charlie kirk trial on the TV news because they want to try and keep things riled up? because i really don't think anyone cares

Wait, the official name is the *President* Donald J. Trump International Airport? There are airports named after eleven other presidents, but none of them were sweaty enough to demand the honorific be included in the name.

Is he *trying* to get a mob of angry Mainers to attack him?

what i want to know is what he actually did to even remotely make anyone think he was "a once in a lifetime talent" ?

special effects used to be really special we have lost so much tbh

This is Oggie and Opal. Oggie nibbles when he's nervous, and he gets nervous on car rides. 13/10 for both

i sincerely hope it was against their will

I'm actually a little surprised McCormick agreed to do this. Fetterman is treading water with independents at 43% approval and I don't see a path towards re-election for him.

please stop saying words

its time to kick him the fuck out of bedminster thedigestonline.com/news/new-jer...

Two chuds, one PAC

Five facts that you should know about the current Cyclospora outbreak.

Congratulations to the great Nick Offerman on his two Emmy nominations. Then come see what he and Megan Mullally are up to onstage this summer in Iceman! The hilarious new musical at @goodmantheatre.bsky.social

Just remember when you’re trying to figure out why Bryce Harper promotes a gambling company that he also promotes diseased milk. He’s not smart.

Guys, you’ll never guess where your pancreas is

They’re trying to deport the men who witnessed the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. newrepublic.com/article/2129...

*meredith brooks voice* im a mitch im mcconnell i help trump comma donald ive a turtle for a head im probably really dead

Agree. We’ve been reporting lately on ICE ramping back up to 11, but the trump administration is trying to do it without Minnesota type headlines. The secret police are trying to be more… secret

yeah those don't really feel like wins but they're wins, and they both very clearly came from party apparatus rather than voters

Some people won’t want to hear this, but: one key difference really is that the Democrats actually act like a party sometimes and push individual people out (and they actually do leave rather than taking the party down with them). The narrowed field in March 2020, Biden stepping down, now Platner.

Marsha Blackburn's new ad is so racist that it makes me wonder if mainstream Republicans could have gotten away with something like this back in the 1980s or 90s.

I don't know what to call the specific political tendency represented by Ryan Grim, Ken Klippenstein, Matt Stoller, Michael Tracey, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, and Zaid Jilani, mostly because words sort of fail, but it isn't "the Left."

Again cost per capita vs benefit per capita needs to be a part of all federal infrastructure spending going forward. Sorry about your rural stuff but unless it benefits the nation generally, oh well.

MSG Kept a List of Gay Celebrities An MSG database tracked hundreds of celebs, Knicks superfans, and even some of Taylor Swift’s wedding guests. Labels included “LGBTQIA,” “DO NOT HOST,” and low to high “risk.” MSG also stored Mamdani's personal info. @noahshachtman.bsky.social @regret.bsky.social

This is Oreo. He will eventually eat the blueberry. But first he must establish dominance over it. 12/10 (TT: oreominibernedoodle)

The whole internet loves Larry the Truffle Cat, a lovely cat that digs for truffles! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you Larry is AI generated

I keep thinking about this Alex Ross painting of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen that is, for some reason, also the cast of 30 Rock

it's so fucking funny www.reuters.com/world/belaru...

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

DEI bike lanes…

A lot of Trump Cabinet members are evil and corrupt, but Sean Duffy just seems legitimately stupid.
