A PAC active in lobbying against pro-worker state bills is turning to S.F., backing Alan Wong and Stephen Sherrill. The group was formed by McDonald’s franchisees who fought a CA law that raised the minimum wage for fast-food workers. by @junyaoyang.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2026/05/sf-s...

I am very tired of every media outlet being owned by one of three right wing billionaires locked in an endless pissing contest

The Dodgers bullpen has a 38-inning scoreless streak That’s their longest bullpen scoreless innings streak since the mound was moved to its current distance (1893) And the longest by any bullpen since 2017 CLE (38 2/3 IP) Longest in MLB since 1893: 1962 DET, 45 2/3 IP h/t @EliasSports

I was already getting ick vibes about new Young Washington movie coming out this summer, and then I chuckled a bit when I saw Kelsey Grammer was in it as well as Andy Serkis(??). And then I saw that it’s an Angel Studios joint (Utah-based Christian values productions). I’m sure it’ll be hilarious.

My off the cuff review of I LOVE BOOSTERS. #letterboxd #bootsriley boxd.it/eusI6Z

Watched Predator Badlands, set on a planet that seems filled with nothing but creatures and even plants that are all constantly trying to kill you. Or as we call it on Earth, “Australia.”

She sucks so hard and buh bye. But why does it seem like it’s only the terrible women on Trump’s staff who resign and almost never the men? 🤔

Always always worth listening to what @hcrichardson.bsky.social has to say, important perspective here. www.borowitzreport.com/p/the-end-of...

Whatever your thoughts about The Boys' finale, it made Elon Musk mad, which the show's creator and cast think is hilarious.

Local supervisor race for my district here in SF. The Mayor's endorsed candidate who wants to reopen a local road (and reopen wounds) that was turned into a park is also a "tough on crime" guy. This is ugly campaign ad he keeps running all over. I already was a Natalie Gee supporter. This is ugly.

BIG win for Freedom of the Press Foundation and @citizensforethics.org: Trump’s White House must comply with Presidential Records Act, judge rules

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

Elon Musk lunges for his phone.

Watching a google marketing webinar and the promised “pre show with hosts” is literally just a bunch of ads. Seems fitting for Google, really.

“Loyalty outranks law.” And yet republicans act confused and mock when millions of Americans hold “No Kings” protests.

Fortunately, there are numbers to multiply by that are bigger than two.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

In better news I finally watched the Hacks s2 episode Trust the Process. My god what an instant classic. Amazing. Pivots to hilarious to dark at every turn of the bus. Plus a funny NBA joke near the end.

The NYT removed the "um"s in Trump's answer on Taiwan, but put "um"s in AOC's answer on Taiwan to make her look dumb Trump said "Um, I would say 'like' is maybe too strong a word...um, no, I'm holding that in abeyance and it depends on China, depends, it's a, it's a.." L: Trump R: AOC Video below

BREAKING: Yet another white people neo-western series in the Yellowstoneiverse is debuting on Paramount+!

Still can’t get out of my head how Moldova’s Eurovision song sounded like their version of Kokomo. “Aruba, Moldova,…”🎶

I had this idea for some good trouble in Tennessee last night, but maybe you can help flesh this out. Everyone buys a copy of Roots (anywhere online) and sends it to various places in Tennessee. But better to help an underground network of banned books or to troll the gov’t/school districts? 🤔

Melania Trump infesting the White House with bees is the funniest thing no one's talking about right now #Bees #WhiteHouse

For you to understand how much the world has changed, in the 1970s as a second grader we were REQUIRED to watch the TV show adaptation of ROOTS. REQUIRED. www.knoxnews.com/story/news/e...

I’m only halfway through tape from earlier (don’t spoil it!) of #Eurovision but I can’t imagine any performance will be as fun as Greece’s. Just a silly blast. Is the song the best? No but halfway through this overlong thing it’s the one that sticks with me. Then there was Moldova’s europop Kokomo.

I know it’s like gallows humor at this point, but I am still laughing out loud at the fact that gormless racist billionaire blob Elon Musk seems to think the Odyssey is a true story

it was made into a network mini series that was a whole major event! levar burton's first major role was kunta kinte!

Seriously though hantavirus is airborne just like Covid, so wearing well fitting N95/KN95 masks will protect you from this too. Masking in shared spaces is a small price to pay to protect you & your loved ones from a deadly virus from which global health orgs are so far doing nothing to protect you.

People downplay the commodification of major studio film distribution but then there’s a new Mandalorian and Grogu burger at Burger King so

Absolutely must watch. The most righteous, real speech I’ve seen all year.

Need a brief respite from the news spew and a reminder of the good in humanity (and children) just watch an episode of Zach Galifianakis Gardening Show. His interactions with adorable children are so sweet and silly, and the gardening stuff is a calming tonic too.

Absolutely must watch. The most righteous, real speech I’ve seen all year.

Reading new Brett Goldstein tv series script and this description made me chuckle.

Babe wake up, John Sayles is finally making another movie + it's a WESTERN with Amy Madigan + Chris Cooper 🥹 variety.com/2026/film/gl...

This spiraling, racist mofo continues to be president of the United States somehow

Just had a dream where I was walking home here in SF and a huge group of confederate cosplayers, proud boys etc got off a bus in front of me and marched. I made a fist but then kept walking, regretting not going back to take their legs out. That’s the kind of dream life MAGA has forced on me.

At this point any Democratic party candidate running for federal office in 2026 and 2028 need to sign a pledge--or let's make it a blood oath--that they will do all they can to expand the Supreme Court, the end. If they can't commit, move 'em aside.

I have no idea why something called “Wyatt mills” is “pitching” for my world champion baseball team but I’m pretty sure it’ll be a dated and moot question as soon as tomorrow. (I still want answers though!) #Dodgers

Not the creepiest part of this but are we also gonna notice the totally healthy and together president nodding the hell off during this?

BREAKING: Lizard man who lays nasty pus filled eggs obsessed with teenagers sperm

very much of the view that a democratic congress should wield the guarantee clause against ad hoc, mid-decade redistricting, a practice which is an end run against representative government itself

Hassett, translated: Now that we have fewer immigrants, we have fewer jobs. When we said that immigrants were taking your jobs, it's because we were lying that there's a fixed pool of jobs. You rubes fell for the lump of labor fallacy.

My newest “what’s your take, take” for Subway Takes would be “we need to stop piling extra crap onto my avocado toast, just give me avocado toast with salt and pepper, boom done!”

Perhaps we can suggest to the White House staff that they all take a cruise together soon

One thing has led to another, and now I have a folder full of news headlines about people getting beaten off. I offer no apology at all.

Are you jealous of me seeing Flight of the Conchords last night at the Santa Barbara Bowl? They were as delightful and funny as you’d expect, and made fun of themselves for being understandably rusty after 8 years off. Engaged with audience, local references, and many old favorites.

Here’s 30 years of Bibi Netanyahu claiming that Iran is days away from nuclear weapons.

if ai ever works as it’s been sold to us, the most easily replaced employee of every company would be ceo and as far as i can tell theres never been a single article written about that
