Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office said it would cost $244.64 to review the emails between Abbott and Musk, which @kutnews.bsky.social and The Texas Newsroom paid. After the check was cashed, Abbott’s and Musk’s lawyers sought to keep the records secret.

Republicans hitting the all caps Panic button in TN-7 Fitting that the swampiest of all would call on them to “swamp the vote”

lmao

Tuesday Tip: Comic book scripts are conversations between the writer and the artist (with the editor eavesdropping). The comic book grows out of that conversation. So, write your script whatever damn way you want, provided it gives the artist the information they need to bring the story to life.

Every billionaire for the past 6 months in increasing numbers has positioned themselves for a crisis or is scrambling to get exit liquidity as fast as possible. It's not exactly subtle that they're ready and not telling us so they can get every last cent out before it's somehow MORE obvious.

That Is great More liberal Catholicism , damn it

“In these lectures, Thiel doesn’t just flirt with the apocalyptic. He goes all in — openly discussing the Antichrist, naming Pope Leo XIV as a potential manifestation of that figure, and, most disturbingly, advising JD Vance to ignore the pope on moral matters altogether.”

Page One in Cincinnati: “.. I need to be able to look my grandkids in the eye and say I did not remain silent.” #ICE

Travelers: We would like you to hire more flight controllers, stop planes from colliding and not pack us in like it’s the last train to Auschwitz. Duffy: Would it kill you guys to put on a fucking tie? Maybe buy a snappy pair of cordovans.

A friend at BLUE’S CLUES used to work on the floats and balloons so I know it’s a year-long massive effort but this is the sentence of the day:

I canvassed for @aftynbehn.bsky.social this weekend and someone told us they registered to vote for Aftyn specifically because her opponent’s ads were such a turnoff.

“Political prescription isn’t the point; teasing out the humanity of these people is.” An incredible critique by @angelicabastien.bsky.social’s via @vulture.com that looks at the faults of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER without negating the agency of its Black actresses.

WE ARE SO CLOSE, HENCE THE RELENTLESS ATTACKS The margins are shrinking, which is why they're getting louder. Channel all of your upset and frustration into talking to voters. This race is winnable, and together, we will flip this seat on December 2nd! {Link in bio to sign up!}

Hot take: since Thanksgiving food is *all* food that is far better as leftovers you mcguyver get into strange sandwiches at 3am the next day, that is what Thanksgiving should be. All the food made the day before, everyone gathers in the kitchen in their pajamas at 3am to go goblin mode on leftovers

The teenager told officers he was a U.S. citizen, but an officer broke the car’s driver’s side window and detained him. In a video, the boy can be heard telling an officer that he is a citizen, to which the officer replies, “Get out of the car” and “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

aerons are one million percent worth having, it's an incredible chair and your back will thank you also you should never pay retail or close to it (unless your work is buying it for you), there are always a million used ones floating around because of office churn

here is a much better and 100x more correct article than this crap. it’s even properly fact checked

I just feel we need to keep saying, over and over, that the problem with DOGE was not its failure to cut spending. the problem with DOGE is that it CUT GLOBAL AID LEADING TO THE DEATHS OF 600K PEOPLE AND COUNTING. 1

Shut X down now! “Seeing all of these MAGA accounts exposed as foreign actors trying to destroy the US is a complete vindication” And X accidentally unmasking itself is the most self-own Wizard of Oz moment for a fella who claimed to promote free speech www.thedailybeast.com/top-maga-inf...

HANDS DOWN - The Harder They Come is song for song the superlative movie soundtrack (although I’ve never seen the movie) and I return to it time and time again, today in honor of maestro, Jimmy Cliff. youtu.be/FHAbj1pIT4g?...

Terribly sad news. I am literally working on an episode on Cliff at the moment.

Aside from the fascism, Trump's open corruption as president is genuinely staggering. Warren's list is from April and there were already around 100 incidents. It's only got worse and literally no one in the US is doing anything. Even one of these incidents would've prob ended most leaders' careers.

hot cranberry juice with Torani almond syrup tastes exactly like a cherry pie, you're welcome (that was a specialty of my mom's). amaretto for those that want it instead also people go fucking apeshit over a lemonade bar or a hot cocoa bar

A movie that takes place where you’re from. (They paved over our Little League to situate Cruise’s auto body shop under the bridge. Word is, Spielberg and Cruise rebuilt the field with their own money)

and all so he could avoid the consequences of his actions, remember Musk did this cos USAID was investigating him for turning off starlink in the Ukraine during a major operation against Russia. 600,000+ people died so Elon Musk can avoid punishment for his stupid actions.

FYI gang, tomorrow Fantagraphics is offering 40% off most items with free domestic shipping for orders over $75.

WICKED FOR GOOD 4D Review - 1st interaction was for thunder but rumbled in my seat. Had to regain composure after “Thunderbutt” - During a melee, felt like I dropped something. Instead grabbed a flaccid rubber tube at my calves. Unpleasant - During romance, a child yelled “Why he has no shirt on?”

I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.

if mamdani gets this in every interview, republicans should always be asked to respond to the 76% of Black voters who think their party is "very" racsist

Russia laundering its Ukraine "wish list" through Axios and getting the Trump regime to claim it as a "U.S. peace plan" should have been on all of our bingo cards.

I found an abandoned road being reclaimed by moss... and I know what makes this website cheer #Photography #MossForTheMossThrone (Nikon Z6iii)

The entire world is perplexed because the President of the United States appeared cordial in one meeting. That’s how crazy this timeline is.

Periodically, even when not reminded by your reposts, I think about Rice Truck Story as a parable for my life. Not even lying. Like, shit happens, it gets weirder and more impossible, then you keep trying different things, and then whoop you live to fight another day.

If I had Elon Musk's money I would become a light and tree evangelist. All my resources would be spent educating people on better lighting and making it happen in public spaces and planting fucking trees everywhere and creating trusts for arborists to maintain them

“Why not just hire Americans?” 🧑‍🌾“We’d love to. We can’t find the numbers. This is hard work lots of people won’t do… Trump’s policies are definitely impacting the labor force and hurting our farmers. 50-60% of the labor force is undocumented.”

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

The “Epstein Files” are an open secret of known predators still living their lives freely. The victims know who they are but the burden shouldn’t be on them to unmask them. Massie’s specificity here is what’s so galling to me…

A magician! I was expecting more like, all magicians

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

1) good, they should be prosecuted, they are responsible for countless deaths 2) always very funny when these people realize the extent to which their billionaire patrons could not possibly give less of a shit about them

This vile man, who has sexually assaulted over 20 women and an unknown (so far) number of girls, *never* had control over himself.

"Well, yes, Mamdani and I have our differences. He's a socialist, they say he's a socialist, and I guess he says so too. A democratic socialist, but a socialist. Meanwhile, I'm busy seizing the means of production, forcing a cultural revolution, cracking down on the intelligentsia ...."
