If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

I usually post this scene from NORTH DALLAS FORTY every Super Bowl Sunday. Also, I would really love to see this movie on a big screen and maybe this will get one of the repertory theaters in LA to show it.

Politically the best thing Trump could do for the midterms is not be seen or heard for the next 9 months but unfortunately he is 1) not capable of that and 2) doesn't really care about other people's elections. He's just gonna keep smashing the button that kicks every Republican in the balls

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

"No matter what happens, we'll be here" is yet another line that should go on the Minnesota wall of quotes about *all this*

With tax season in full swing, here's our reminder that TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free. (Published 2019)

Dems are now overperforming the 2024 lean of red districts by, uh, 30+ points in special elections I’m not sure “apocalyptic” is sufficient to describe how the environment is starting to look for the GOP in November

RESULT: Democrat Chasity Martinez wins a special election for a legislative seat in Louisiana, 62% to 38%. This was a district that Trump carried by 13% last year, so a big overperformance by Dems, but the seat was already Dem-held.

We’re looking at another very big Dem overperformance tonight—in a Trump+13 district. Dem Chasity Martinez is up 61-39 with more than half the vote in. Notably, like in TX last weekend, the e-day vote has been even *better* for her than the early vote. voterportal.sos.la.gov/graphical

Almost 70% drop from last weekend's juked gross.

My in-laws used to live in Anderson, SC, where this festival was going to take place. It was filled with Confederate flags two decades before Trump even announced his presidential run. If you can't make a MAGA-fest happen there, the movement has truly fallen on hard times.

"Tell me you know nothing about the Muppets without telling me you know nothing about the Muppets."

Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind." This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...

The people who called us all snowflakes for years are going to be triggered into a blind rage tomorrow because a popular Puerto Rican music star will perform on their tvs

Spitting fire over here @ajhan.bsky.social, on the awful Aronofsky AI 1776 series www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-review...

Hang it in the Louvre

He looks like all the villains in ROBOCOP combined into one person.

The Washington Post CEO/Publisher has the toughest job. They have to wait for the editorials Jeff Bezos dictates to his phone and clean them up for publication.

If you make a film about a guy who wants to build an opera house in the jungle, you gotta get the craziest motherfucker out there to play him.

I bet if the FBI wasn't run by morons Savannah Guthrie wouldn't be forced to go on TV and tell some two bit kidnappers she'll pay millions of dollars in bitcoin for her mother's safe return

Just because a ticket was bought doesn’t mean it was used.

Now, this can be applied to those running The Washington Post.

The data says they’re losing subscribers. Nothing more complicated than that.

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

It's funny they think this will signal a return to having credibility amongst their readers while they're fully aware Jeff Bezos is the one fucking up the paper.

the other funny thing is that people like Bezos and Weiss talk as if they're analytics wizards, but then they'll throw gobs of cash at pseudo-intellectual brunchlord cack nobody asked for and nobody actually wants

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

I hope the Washington Post goes through CEOs like Spinal Tap drummers.

This is the guy who nerfed Tumblr’s usage with the porn ban btw.

Newspapers want to influence us who to support for president, but aren't even good at picking their own leadership.

If you voted for Trump, this is on you.

It's so funny how many people have had their brains pickled by X and Fox News and can't believe that SF remains one of the most amazing cities in the world.

Nithya is the exact candidate we need to fix LA’s incompetence and NIMBYism. She could be a zohran-level candidate who creates a new consensus around progressive urbanism

They gave a bunch of roided up thugs weapons and made them immune from legal consequences. You can't really tinker around the edges of something like that, you have to end it

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "I can probably frankenbite those syllables into one word."

Hard to overstate the extent to which Leon Botstein’s personal scorn for feminist anti-rape politics permeated Bard College’s culture while I was there. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

Apparently Benicio Del Toro and I will play feuding divorce lawyers in a new drama coming to CBS this fall.

The political class and business elites would be happy to see attention to Epstein fade away. But the broader public won't allow it. They correctly sense something is rotten about the earlier investigations (or the lack thereof) and the current coverup...and they're right.

Laying the groundwork for a bigger Muppety piece! ✨🎨

A good but not great movie, but even Sidney Lumet's second best film from 1982 is more worthy than some directors' best films.

Since people are talking about the anniversary of F/X, it's available for free on Tubi. If you're younger and weren't around when it was released, you can watch it now and see how much sturdier and more fun movies used to be before getting crowded out by shoddy franchise junk.

Chilling with the boys

Imagine the things you can learn about the world when you actually go out to places.

I converted to Catholicism a couple weeks ago. Here’s what I think Jesus got wrong.

He shut it down by being more subtle in his racism. He didn’t say “there is nothing wrong with being Muslim you racist asshole, but Obama isn’t Muslim.” He basically said “no, he’s not a Muslim, instead he’s a human being worthy of respect.”
