A few months ago, I was consistently getting Nick Fuentes and Charlie Kirk confused with one another and did not know they were rivals. I resent every piece of information on them I have learned since.

He was not factually guilty of assault, because throwing a sandwich is not assault. I'm all for jury nullification, but if you look at the arguments of the defense and prosecution, it's difficult to imagine the jury concluded "the prosecution is right, but we don't care."

The first two episodes of Pluribus are incredible. It's a premise I would have assumed go be a narrative dead end for anything longer than a short story or anthology series episode. But Gilligan dug up stakes and conflict in his world right away, and now I'm completely sold on multiple seasons.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

Elon Musk is not a trillionaire, by the way. There a lot of lofty goals Tesla has to accomplish for him to get there.

While I do hate hereditary monarchies, this story about the Habsburgs is pretty cool. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/a...

I like this one, because it is absolutely NOT a lesson learned. He wants the Right to combat this energy by embracing Nick Fuentes and making Groypers welcome. Great way to tag Republicans for persuadable young men as the party that keeps you from getting laid.

AP just joined NBC and Decision Desk in calling it for Mamdani. That's a wrap.

Very difficult to read thread detailing the human rights abuses at Broadview.

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

The people who were terrified of a democratically unaccountable "deep state" pulling the strings have elected a President and Speaker of the House who constantly tell us they have no idea what's going on.

Extremely The Bears things going on right now.

She's still got it.

Midwestern excellence

Most ppl know that Chicago (home of modern urban segregation) is a very segregated place but I don't think most outside Chicago (+many Chicagoans!) understand how the *distances* involved and *depth* of segregation mean most white ppl have ZERO visibility into many Black and Latine neighborhoods +

I judge coffee shops primarily by their self-serve water setup.

Ideally money, to an existing food bank. I've seen tons of pop-up mutual aid efforts in my small city in the last week. While I applaud the desire to support neighbors in need, imagine navigating dozens of random Facebook posts and email accounts to find food when you need it. Let's make it easy.

One of the many issues with news organizations openly publishing AI-generated articles: Why would I go to your website, then, and not just straight to the chatbot? Because you also have ads?

18 innings in 2018... 25 in '25???

I hope that organist is getting time and a half.

2) Republicans use polls to shape strategy, not to shape their positions. Public opinion is malleable. Most people don't have firm opinions. Republicans shape the river. Democrats chase the currents--and it hasn't worked. @anatosaurus.bsky.social has written on this also

In order to have a bubble, you have to have lots of sustained uncertainty around what exactly a technology will be good for, in a business sense. AI, of course, has this in droves. You have to have 'pure play' companies for investors to sink cash into—hello Nvidia (current market cap $4.7 trillion)

Ben Platt has become one of my favorite nepo babies for his loyalty to Rachel Zegler. I hope his asshole brother is seething. www.whatsonstage.com/news/ben-pla...

I still can't get over that caption: "into the crowd".

More from the scene

All the guys saying “of course working class people all have Nazi tattoos” are far more elitist and out of touch than anyone mad at him for it lol

They need to be arrested and prosecuted by local authorities. It is a dire emergency. They already killed a target here in Chicagoland, and they will kill more (including protesters) if no one does anything.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Do it, @ilattygeneral.bsky.social!

All those expensive empty after halftime at MSG... Such a depressing sight. I'll bet they're all Cuomo donors.

At long last, and after untold legal fees, UC has released the DoJ's proposed settlement terms to UCLA. Over $1B in fines, invasive monitoring, ideological vetting of international students, exclusion of trans athletes, etc. This would destroy the university as we know it. ucop.edu/communicatio...

Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide. The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

Will the wealthiest Chicagoans speak out and use their influence/money to help now that ICE is also in their backyard?

Honey Don't is good. Bring on the next Coen-Cooke lesbian crime farce.

I hate this title. Not as bad as Pirates: The Penzance Musical, but close.

Sometimes I think of moving to a new city again. Tonight, sitting in the lobby bar of one of the country's most renowned regional theaters, googling tidbits about the show I'm about to see for $20, learning that the director played Mr. Trick on Buffy, I know I'm in the right place.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Graham Greene is in this week's episode of The Lowdown- 2 incredibly moving scenes. It's awful that we lost him, but I'm glad he got to work with Sterlin Harjo in his last few years.

If OKC can win after playing that awful of a game, the sky really is the limit.

Oak Park resident Scott Sakiyama reports feds pointed weapons at him across from an elementary school today. They then arrested him and took him to Broadview. While in custody, he saw agents texting in a group chat called "Chiraq Team 2." Full testimony: www.facebook.com/share/p/1GqB...

Getting 7 million people to a non-violent protest is an implicit threat, among other things. If 10% of that number adopts forceful tactics as an immediate response to Trump trying to stay in office in 2029, it would be very hard for him to stay in the White House more than a few weeks.

If you're looking for something more impactful, get in touch with this account, because they are clearly ready to organize something.

They must not suspect them of "running drugs" anymore, huh?

I hate seeing articles referring to "Gen Z revolutions" overseas. Did twenty-somethings in Madagascar sign on to being arbitrarily sorted into an American marketing demographic?

There are basically only two positions in the debate about cocaine. 1. I've barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. Cocaine sucks. 2. I've invested significant time and money learning how to use this tool, and holy cow, no wait, holy canoli, no let's try, holy guacamole

This is so wholesome!

Cuomo: I stood to ICE. I stood up with ICE. Mamdani: You stood up with ICE. Right. Cuomo: I stood down ICE.

New episode of The Lowdown is fantastic. Beautiful single episode guest turn from Peter Dinklage, and a really creepy and intriguing set piece to end on.

Generational labels continue to subtract meaning from every conversation they pop up in. I am seeing a viral post encouraging "gen X" to get check ups, and a quote post chiming in "elder millennials too." So, middle-aged people.
