That’s right, 50 happy days of trying to be hired by Andrew Cuomo! Let’s look back at some of the best most persuasive memes that have this race neck and neck

Samuel Beckett was neighbors with Andre the Giant when Andre was a child, and would sometimes give him a ride to school

George Orwell’s Animal Crossing

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

this thread is ninety percent good ideas and ten percent horrors from the depths of hell

i have met a number of pigs, including pigs i later went on to eat (we have small farmers in our family) and quite frankly, getting to know pigs has made me feel even less bad about eating them they would 100% eat us if given the chance

Someone should ask what Miller was doing between 2021 and 2025, why David Horowitz recruited him to the foreign policy team of the Trump campaign, why the Democrats never followed through on their 2017 investigation of alleged lies on Miller's SF-86 clearance forms, but no one asks real questions

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Hard, stupid day. Both kids came home from school early after separate unrelated meltdowns. T5 is - too much to go into, really, but if bad times continue his home county is going to put him back in a locked facility. T6 just took extreme offense at being asked to stop drawing & do his classwork.

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

Did a politics last night - after work I walked over to a meeting for a local progressive action group that was hosting a speaker to talk about the continued efforts toward actual fair election maps in Ohio. All branches of our republican-captured government have decided gerrymandering is fine.

The Free Press has 170k subscribers. The CBS Evening News has ~3.7 million viewers. It's a totally different scale. If you're blogging, you can spend years repeatedly misrepresenting campus protestors and Robin DiAngelo, but a mass TV audience is just going to change the channel.

Reactionary centrist propaganda requires making stuff up about the left to match what the right is doing. You can get away with it when you’re running a glorified blog, but it’s pretty hard to say, generate footage of someone invading the Capitol with a Harris / Walz flag.

This is awful but the constant leaks and eventual fall will be extremely funny.

it's very manly to deny responsibility for your actions. We hAvE A CrIsIs oF MaScUlInItY

I seriously do wonder just how Donald John Trump knows, or thinks he knows, about what is going on. I am not excusing him, he's a mob boss and evil, but I do think Miller and the other factions in the imperial court are manipulating to some extent (how much?) what he sees and knows.

Discord confirms that government IDs used for age-verification were compromised in a hack with a vendor. Who could have predicted? Oh, right.

When I imported my likes to SoundCloud, it didn't have all of them, but it's a pretty good replacement, & bonus the subscription price is much lower

Quick reminder that Spotify's CEO doesn't care at all about what you think, nor artists or listeners. If you ever want to move to Deezer (still crossing fingers they do not jump into AI too), they have a tool to import all your Spotify's playlists. Plus : Spotify audio quality sucks.

I'm sorry but how does this person have standing to challenge Colorado's ban on LGBTQ conversion therapy when she has explicitly disclaimed any desire to change a patient's sexual orientation or gender identity? How is this a real case? slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Trump economy at work, the government can't function so investment managers are releasing economic numbers and everything looks great except for, y'know, employment and inflation. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

crazy that one of the most storied institutions in american journalism is going to be run by two people with basically no experience to do it

one time i was on the news because they found dead people in the house across the street from me

Did it hurt? When you ordered Chinese for yourself but they included 3 forks and fortune cookies?

If they let him ramble a little more I’m sure he’d say “look, is raping children even a crime?”

After Columbia canceled my course on race and media, and Washington Poat fired me for speaking about race and violence, I’m teaching about race and media anyway! @resistanceschool.bsky.social fall session on Race, Media and International Affairs starts tonight! 600+ signups. We move!! ✊🏾

Worker owned things will have much better time existing when people will understand that “the rich/capitalists” doesn’t mean “anybody who gets paid (slightly more than me) for their work”

Dogs are flipping one (1) entire shit because our house & yard have been blessed by almost a dozen migrating black vultures this morning

That photo without explanation and in this context on the social media blasts, in context, leads to the easy inference it is a current photo. They didn’t have any burning buildings from peaceful protests now, so they had to go back 30 years to frame it how they want.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

Same thing happened in LA, same thing happened in DC: prosecutors charged people with assaulting a federal officer and then furiously backpedaled when the evidence didn’t support it

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated. or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

My mom is trying to juice my numbers, which is how she expresses love

The latest waiting times for an appointment at a UK gender clinic. Cardiff the best at 2 years, Glasgow the worst at 224 years. Yes, you did read that correctly. Two hundred and twenty-four years.

Yeah , sometimes I do feel like a fraud. Like right now for instance. I have no business doing open heart surgery. Yet...here I am.

March for Gaza and Palestine arrives in the Scramble in ShibuyaTokyo.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Now that he’s gone, the state is tearing through his books to see just how deep the corruption goes. A grand jury already called his handling of pandemic relief funds “indefensible.” Let’s hope this new audit exposes the full scope of his grift. 3/3

Pages are disappearing, statements are being “archived,” and it’s clear they’re trying to clean up the mess he left behind. This is the same guy who funneled public dollars like a political slush fund, pushed PragerU propaganda into classrooms, and tried to turn public schools into pulpits. 2/3

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

US state accuses Trump of 'unlawful and unconstitutional' use of National Guard in latest effort to stop deployment.

"[Bodycam] video shows an agent turn federal vehicle left into Martinez’s vehicle, after which an agent says, 'Do something b----.' The agent then exits the vehicle and shoots at Martinez. [Her lawyer] Parente said Martinez has 'seven holes' in her from the shooting." Govt didn't show that video.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

He came up with the word but I think the theory, at least in its initial form, came from a brilliant essay by @catvalente.bsky.social catvalente.substack.com/p/stop-talki...
