It’s pronounced cyclist.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Terribly sad news about one of the greats. Diane Keaton has died at 79. people.com/diane-keaton...

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

Superman won a Harvey Award for best comic adaptation at New York Comic Con!  The award is named after and inspired by the great Harvey Kurtzman, who revolutionized comics and left the world a better – and much wittier place than he found it.  Thanks to everyone at the Harvey Awards for this honor!

Meanwhile in #Portland

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Remember how people lost their minds when I said go to a protest but don't rsvp to one

Making a bit too obvious how dumb most means testing arguments are. "Now, I’m a little different from those who say free [public] college for everybody. I am not in favor of making [public] college free for Donald Trump’s kids. " - hillary clinton

Instead of lowering health care costs and reopening the government, Senate Republicans are trying to strip away access to abortion.

SAD!

😂 🤔 😳

This is what every Democratic state needs to do, tell its state university leaders that they will lose all state appropriations if they sign the compact. Take the decision out of feckless college administrators’ hands.

I understand and agree with the movement to get people off substack and Twitter. But also - it’s HARD to be responsible for the sins of everyone who owns stuff. It’s genuinely difficult to build a following, an income source, and then have to keep migrating because of things out of your control.

FRITZI RITZ BY LARRY WHITTINGTON MADE IT’S DEBUT 103 YEARS AGO ON OCTOBER 09,1922

Earlier this week, a shortage of air traffic controllers around the country caused delays at airports, including Denver.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum: "Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles. You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Antifa, like Steely Dan, is not really a group.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks: I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

A quest to eliminate $5 million has tripled, thanks to the generosity and passion of THE TOXIC AVENGER fans across the country. Together, you didn’t just meet that goal, you crushed it, helping wipe out over $15 million dollars in medical debt for 10,000+ people!

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

The original Bad Bunny

I think the Dems have done a good job on hammering the GOP into a corner on health care. But in the grand scheme that’s a safe space/easy pull for them. They need to replicate that consistency with the other issues.

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

They all would have played Sun City too. But we've known for decades that strategic engagement doesn't work. Besides, any of them claiming some higher motive are full of shit. At least admitting you were there for the money is honest. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Trump has ordered staff to look into whether Antifa kidnapped the Lindbergh baby.

The New Zoo Revue is coming right at you motherfuckers!

This is the BEST description of the shutdown.

If you automatically assume that anything any media outlet reports is a lie if a cop is the source you’re likely to be far better informed than someone who automatically assumes it’s all true.

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

I just need everyone to promise that if they're ever escaping a serial killer or an abusive partner and you're able to get the jump on them, keep hitting them until they are down permanently. I'm watching a show where a woman whacked some dude's head with a fireplace poker only ONCE and ran.

Bari Weiss becoming head of the news division at CBS does not just tarnish the legacy of Murrow and Cronkite, it tarnishes the legacy of fucking Hee Haw.

Doing some back of the napkin math on the Free Press acquisition, I've determined The Onion is worth $2 trillion.

you are no longer allowed to have imposter syndrome. not after this bari omgwtf weiss situation. you're literally not allowed to feel imposter syndrome ANYMORE

👀

Same. #AlsoTiredOfWaitingForTheEPSTEIN_Files

i love the domino effect of trans people asking the moderation team to take harassment of trans people seriously and instead decided to perma ban a black guy who was one of the earliest users here

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

as free press effectively takes over cbs news, keep in mind that democratic investments in media have been minimal -- at best -- and the party and its donors continue to light money on fire for dumb campaign bullshit that makes consultants rich but doesnt win elections or change the narrative

Ezra Klein and his ilk are on the same mission

Never forget.

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

I think we know the answer here.
