For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

They unanimously acquitted sandwich guy, even though this was probably misdemeanor assault. I know I joke a lot about this case, but this jury nullification is actually really embarrassing for Pirro/Trump/Bondi.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

The Democratic ticket in 2024 was like The Whitest Kids U Know sketch The Grapist where one guy is trying to point out how offensive a commercial is and the yes men around him refuse to see it. "I love it. Grape those kids!"

Twenty-nine sailors drowned when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in the Great Lakes' icy waters on Nov. 10, 1975. The ship was immortalized in a surprise hit 1976 folk ballad by Gordon Lightfoot. n.pr/3JKj19D

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

Never talk to the nyt, y'all.

The case study that popularised the concept of 'cognitive dissonance' has been debunked. Presumably psychologists will take this information and reframe it, allowing them to maintain their belief.

For a bit I forgot that the current political movement was won with a weak minority and is managed by annoying dorks who nobody likes who have terrible vibes. This video has 1.3 million likes and is a good reminder that better things are possible, even for those of us outside NYC. A good night!

So uh. I've spent the last five years working on a book about grief, mourning, who is allowed to grieve and how, and where we go from here, and... you can now preorder it!

Zohran says you’re trans now

ok fine, just a little more libbing out, as a treat

Hoping this helps our colleagues across the industry

This is awesome news! I'm proud of my little town. whyy.org/articles/ele...

This seems huge, and deserves more attention. SCOTUS has gone out of its way to make it harder to sue Fed law enforcement for damages when they trample—sometimes literally—on your rights. Illinois just made it so their resident can sue the Feds in state court. Feds fail us, states step up.

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

Final update with the results all in and Virginia looks Sonic the Hedgehog's back

Maybe nobody in the great big world cares about this. But the public libraries in tiny Jefferson County in Northern Appalachia were in danger of losing their tax funding thanks to right-wing book banners. And we won. The library's funding is safe!!!!!

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

This, to me, is the most remarkable news of the night

When you recount this election day:

Gentlemen: thank you for your service.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
