wait what the fuck the website for the ding dong lounge is still up????

the reason you don't engage in a data-driven argument with fascists is that it legitimises the idea that if the data went the other way their core argument would be acceptable it is not and should be rejected wholesale from first principles

shit ain’t over til it’s over

A LRB essay on Elmore Leonard by @jrobertlennon.com? YES please

Zounds, i Wish i Was Your Lover

hyuck! i f-feel like a woman!

Forsooth! I Feel Like A Woman!

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

every time we go to a big box hardware store my kids remember depiglio. it happens as soon as we get there and by the time we leave they're chanting "depiglio! depiglio!!" this all happened because a month ago i said the new animatronic home Depot skeleton looks like Chris fleming

In steely Dan's "hey nineteen" they sing "the cuervo gold / the fine Colombian / make tonight a wonderful thing." A lot of people think "the fine Colombian" is cocaine, but this is actually a misinterpretation. At the time most cocaine came from Peru. "The fine Colombian" actually refers to Shakira

The problem with those books is that (in addition to being terrible to read) is that they work in the way right wingers think liberal propaganda tries to function, by brute force indoctrination. If you want your kid to be a lib teach them good values and read Click Clack Moo or The Lorax.

I literally never want to get a text from Al Franken. How do I stop this. How do I say, "I will never, ever, ever consider giving you money if you have Al Franken text me." Who do I have to convince that this is bad?

every "centrist" columnist who moans about Blueskyism is like, "Look, if twitter was clearly a huge con job to fool people into thinking that everyone is more conservative than they actually are, don't you think I'D NOTICE? I'm not an IDIOT!"

elite centrist/lib transphobia is one of those classic contrarian things where they’ve built up a huge pile of facially convincing “evidence” that collapses immediately if you put it under serious scrutiny

People make fun of people who get frappacino milkshake shit at starbucks but, like, that's where they have all of the frappacino milkshake fixings. who is ordering hot tea at starbucks. it's water and a bag

Getting endless “mikie sherill will indoctrinate ur kids in lgbtq” here in nj while sherrill runs feckless “i was a helicopter pilot” and “citarelli is 100% maga” ads

just had to block a few folks over on my facebook biz page who were offering to rip off this design for cheap. good old art theft for antifascism. if *you* want a shirt that pays the original artist at Slow Death a fair whack for his work, link is below. this print run ends midnight tonight!

If you’re making challah for tomorrow and need a recipe, I can’t recommend this Claire Saffitz recipe enough. It’s honestly one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, it tastes like how bread gets described in fantasy novels, and it’s not harder than regular challah. streicker.nyc/wp-content/u...

Spotting Cinnabon from across the food court

in the 12th episode the congressional representatives assistant is like "it could be no-one BUT you. You are known, and beloved, by all Americans"

In the pilot episode of Murder, She Wrote, Jessica’s first book is published and it’s a bestseller. By the 4th episode, she’s published 6 novels and the first book is being made into a movie. By the 12th episode, she’s appointed as an interim congressperson after Maine’s congressional rep dies.

“ill see you in valhalla” is not something i would ever say in memory of a friend. its something i would say to a $28 Hamburger

our driveway has a dip in the middle and my 8 year old was getting off of her bike and was having a hard time because of it, and I was like ah sorry that's an awkward position. And she goes "not as awkward as telling someone you love them after watching and waiting for years for the right moment."

I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited

i love when low-level pundits do once-a-month handwringing about the possible long-term prospects of bluesky. every time i pull on my socks i write a paragraph about what i believe the Dickies corporation is doing wrong and whether they're capturing enough market share

SEPHIROTH: Those Who Look With Clouded Eyes See Nothing But Shadows CAJUN CHEF CHARACTER (new to remastered edition): now you dont listen to mister sephiroth, thats just his way. that old sourpuss never stops his grumblin, except of course when he's eatin some of my famous etouffee

Once again watching Encanto and thinking - seven foot frame, supernatural anticipation? Bruno shoulda hooped!

Nice rhetorical question you got there. Shame if someone responded to it not only in earnest but also with an inscrutable attitude

Cava??? Well la di da!

As promised: another LIMITED run of our Antifa miniatures shirt courtesy of SlowDeath Games. Only in the shop for a couple of days so nobody's waiting forever for these to arrive. Grab yours now, terrorists!

Feels like a problem with a lot of centrist analysis (re: Klein's "run pro-life democrats" suggestion) is that they assume the sacrifices they're personally willing to make are the ones that Republicans want

Speaking as a reproductive health reporter who covered these referenda endlessly and talked to MANY voters in Kansas, Missouri, and Ohio: Abortion rights are MORE popular than Democrats. They MAKE Democrats popular. Why would Democrats run away from one of the few policies that works for them

madrigals are lowkey goated when contrapuntal vocal polyphony is the vibe

tensions between Americans and Europeans really boiling over in the comments section of this video of a guy showing off his sleeper truck

AI integration haters who care about privacy but don’t need anything ultra-turbo secure for daily use, what desktop browsers are we using? (I’m on a MacBook most of the time, but Windows options are also relevant to my life)

excited to look up from this book and say "well here's something interesting" to my wife every five minutes until, assumedly, she murders me

In addition to being terrible and stupid politics, abortion bans and limitations are already resulting in a lot of dead women and other horrific harm.

Cooking food using the stuff at the Airbnb

Not sure what the solution is but I've read so many fantasy novels, especially of late, where the entire book you've been hearing about this incredibly powerful warrior/wizard/murderer and theres a final showdown with the beleaguered nerd protagonist who has never fought anyone

if you lose an election you should be legally barred from writing a book

Thats right

KID WHO DID NOT GET INVITED TO TED'S AWESOME LAZER TAG BIRTHDAY PARTY: i fear that even the most somber of my classmates are now infected with what I'm calling "Ted's Partyism"

I love these New York-ass Magic cards.

good news everyone. ive migrated over to another open-source self-hosted to-do list platform and THIS one understands the concept of "weekdays"

An update on The Dinner

Please note that one of the critical votes that kept @mikiesherrill.bsky.social in DC today was honoring the "life and legacy" of a man who described Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as "awful"
