Of course @lataco.bsky.social @shoton35mm.bsky.social has the definitive account of what unfolded before and after Saturday’s victory — which illustrates over and over again how LA is completely unprepared to handle celebrating fans

I worked at jc Penney and it also encourages sexual harassment!

I worked at Blockbuster and let me tell you, customers HATED this shit

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

If you are familiar with Reply All, but have no yet listened to @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social, listeners are saying the latest episode is a “banger”. You should maybe give it a shot.

Harvard's right-wing student magazine defends itself from charges that it invoked lines from Hitler by insisting that it did not intentionally use Nazi language, but came upon this "blood and soil" thinking organically. In other words, it's how young conservatives see things now. Take that in.

This is FUCKING INSANE

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Spreading the word in case this is new info.

New episode of I Hate Bill Maher. Jane Harrison returned to talk about fellow Georgian Marjorie Taylor Greene being on the panel, but the interview Bill Maher did with the director of a doc about aliens was so, so, SO much fucking stupider. We couldn't fucking believe it. pod.link/1746469734/e...

TRANSITION CO-CHAIR LINA KHAN!?!?!??!

It is maddening to see Debra Messing posting shockingly racist IG stories about Zohran all day everyday and get literally zero press coverage over it

so many good pictures out there

THIS IS THE GOOD COPE

Cuomo Announces Plan To Govern New York City As Independent https://theonion.com/cuomo-announces-plan-to-govern-new-york-city-as-independent/

Tragic News tonight: actress Debra Messing has read a brief manifesto in Japanese and then committed ritual suicide in front of New York City Hall

hahaha

Jay Jones is a huge victory for people who are terrified of their private jokes getting posted on main

Just nice to see a serial sex pest take an L

They’ve started running Dick Cheney through the Charlie Kirk sanitation machine. The man pushed false WMD claims, justified torture, and expanded unchecked executive power after 9/11. He showed zero remorse for the hundreds of thousands who died in Iraq. Like… stop it.

RIP Dick Cheney For @inthesetimes.com inthesetimes.com/article/mamd...

Wow, the entire run of the 95 Outer Limits is on Roku and it looks just as shoddy as a show broadcast in 1995 should, I am LIVING

Hey LAPD, come pickup your shit off the streets of Echo Park. Sunset Blvd is littered w/ spent munitions. - 40mm foam rounds are the blue ones. - the black one is 37mm rubber bullet comes from a baton munition (seen below). Three rounds skip off the ground and hit people. (hand for reference)

I'm sure all of these guys would suffer absolutely no push back from their employees for just out of nowhere trying to relocate them for, it cannot be stressed enough, absolutely no reason.

Helmut Kentler posts Instagram video revealing he voted for Cuomo

A Border Patrol agent was caught on video telling another to throw tear gas “for fun,” according to a court filing. They also mocked protesters and residents who were getting gassed.

Most unserious voters anywhere outside of England and maybe Italy

Enthusiasm level update: the woman handing out Cuomo flyers on the corner said “you can just throw it away if you want”

If you're going to rely on "strong assurances" from Republicans then you're stupid and weak and you should resign. There is only one path to getting Democratic assistance with anything: the House reopens, swears in Adelita Grijalva, then passes an acceptable budget. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

As promised, a longer read:

People are like “Mamdani can’t do the things he promises” and you gotta stop saying stupid shit like that. Like free your mind from this cancerous nihilistic ideology that good things are impossible. I know you think it’s reasonable optimism or something but it is actually deeply cynical.

I appreciate all the journalist owned independent media sites being ad free but in all honesty I'd be fine with a couple ads if it gave these sites a little additional fiscal breathing room. Unfortunately, we do live in a SOCIETY.

Goodbye "the big apple", hello

It’s not ever about the numbers—you can bring insane audience engagement, views, eyeballs to your verticals, shape the conversation in wonderful ways, win awards and on and on And they still will nuke your job and your entire desk in the name of capital consolidation and kissing the fucking ring

New from me: The police are defunding our cities. In LA, LAPD’s growing liability lawsuits are costing taxpayers millions of dollars in payouts. $400m in payouts since 2019. The biggest culprits: protests, police shootings, and car collisions. More👇 lapublicpress.org/2025/11/lapd...

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

“The ultimate kafkaesque dilbert scenario”

One more reminder: I'm on this week's episode of Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! and it was a lot of fun! I honestly felt exhilarated after my Lightning Fill In The Blank round!

LAPD officers used tear gas to disperse Dodger fans in Echo Park after the World Series. Gas canisters were thrown outside of a 7 Eleven on Rosemont Avenue and Sunset Boulevard. The gas caused people to quickly leave the area. @shoton35mm.bsky.social

It's illegal to feel joy in America

Shitload of videos left to upload, the crowd at this juncture seems to be thinned out A local bus drops off its passengers directly into the remaining cloud of tear gas—eyes are fucking stinging rn

This is insane shit. Cops hate the people of Los Angeles and look for any excuse to injure people.

LAPD is going to start gassing people tonight. The dept rarely ever deployed tear gas at protests in the past and now does on a regular basis.

sending congratulations to Japan on their victory over Canada tonight, since the United States no longer officially views the accomplishments of immigrants as a demonstration of American achievement

I really hope the Jays win next year. Fuck the Leafs though.

Daughter comes out of school with a brand new Dodgers hat and I ask her where she got it. "Oh this guy Will Smith from the Dodgers read us a story at school today"
