This is incredible. King County elections is now saying they have 45,000 ballots left to count. If Wilson gets exactly the same margin of those as she got today she'll take the lead by... 20 votes!

"wait how bad was he?" behold, receipts:

hey remember earlier today when the world’s richest man demanded a deal to become a trillionaire by building a billion robot army to end hunger and crime immediately after he killed over half a million people, that thing that happened in real life earlier?

Nome describes ADHD (and many other things in other threads) perfectly

This just into the newsroom WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court issues emergency order temporarily blocking full SNAP food aid payments.

The lengths Trump will go to keep Americans hungry knows no bounds. apnews.com/article/snap...

like “old white racist, once credited and acclaimed for a woman’s work, has died at 97” isn’t as compelling of a headline but it is more accurate

Um, @variety.com? That’s…not what that means. 😳 variety.com/2025/music/n...

OH BOY the crossword clue was “jouissance” for a 4-letter word and I am relieved to report that the answer was NOT “come.” 😅 But what are the editors thinking?! I did a heck of a double take.

Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason. It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls. And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd

virtue signalling is good actually

OVER A MILLION USERS DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT EVERY *WEEK* what the fuck are we DOING here

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?” A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages. It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning. Since then, it’s only gotten worse. Do the steps sound familiar?

Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-win...

OH REALLY

sounds like james watson couldn't steal an extra year or two of life from any nearby women rip you weird racist credit thief

“You must think me a fool to make your racism so transparent!” - me, at my most Klingon

apropos james watson’s death i had an idle thought today about how stupid race/iq stuff sounds. “buh if your skin is darker you are biologically less smart” is a thing only a dumbass can believe

lol every time I write my congress people about the shut down I nearly send the message with it spelled “shit down.” 🙃 I haven’t yet, but probabilities suggest I will one day.

Y’all seen Lee Pace? Wearing That Shiiiiiiit

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

10/10 take. No notes.

My kid was looking up some stuff the other day and discovered a theorem that the universe as a whole, over time, does *not* conserve matter/energy, thought this was SO COOL and wondered aloud why we don’t all know the woman’s name who came up with it. Me: “I bet I know.” 🫠

There once was a Senator, Chuck Whose views did perpetually suck He can't understand The situation at hand Off, I wish he would fuck.

A final fuck off to James Watson and to every news source who’s naming him as one of two co-discoverers of DNA structure without mentioning Rosalind Franklin. 🖕

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

The article posts excerpts of him exchanging word salad with it, and it is literally plagiarizing SCP Foundation stuff at him: keter class containment protocols etc.

This is terrible. (But also my kid saw this and promptly said, “So Dickens was right the whole time.” We are bad people.)

I wonder (actually!) what would possess someone to respond to a post—from someone they don’t know and have never interacted with—with some blueAnon meme sludge?? Not alt-texted, ofc 😐 Regardless, that’s a quick route to a blocking. Maybe save us all the time??

The climate crisis has forced us to see the Earth for what it is; one huge, joined up life-support system. This is the biggest, most far-sighted and powerful movement the world has ever seen, and it needs political leaders with ambition to match, not for themselves, but for the entire planet. 13/13

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Tree canopy height of Paris, France. Have given up on #30DayMapChallenge. #rayshader adventures, an #rstats tale

Horrible, and true: “There is also this heavy-sigh finding: ‘Women tend to spend valuable mental resources worrying about their punctuation choices.’”

This story is BONKERS

Book of the day is Waubeshig Rice’s “Moon of the Turning Leaves”, which picks up something like 10yrs after “Moon of the Crusted Snow”. I hope things are going better for all our guys but fear they are not.

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

Should women be hated as witches or patronized as overgrown children? The paper of record debates the two available options.

This is what oligarchy looks like: If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break. If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry. Obscene.

#breadsky forgot to tag you guys in!

Hey does anyone have a really bomb sourdough (or non!) onion bialy recipe? I have *never* seen a bialy in Seattle and the craving has appeared. I can tell I will have to make them or it won’t go away. and if I’m making them, they have to be the best bialy I have ever had. 🤷‍♀️ them’s the rules!

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

THE SANDWICH IS INNOCENT

fact checkers at the new yorker are the hardest working most skilled and smartest journalists in the world. fuck condé for throwing one out like trash. up with unions, down with coward bosses

surely everyone will love Father Trump again if he benevolently takes away their holiday travel and their food

💩 Condé Nast has some great pubs (including all those mentioned here) but WOW their management seems like garbage.

I’m still just stunned they published this. It really needs a goose meme “RUINED FOR WHOM? FOR WHOM, MOTHERFUCKER!” (“For the racist/sexist bosses who really want the ladeez to fetch their coffee, let them squeeze boobs, and keep their mouths decorously shut and smiling”)

“Because we are refusing to feed them”
