Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

We’re approaching the point where anyone who knows a really good Trump lookalike should start keeping tabs on them. Given how quickly the real one is deteriorating, sooner or later we’re gonna be looking at this scenario (but not as funny or heartwarming):

Not sure what aspect of Pat Dugan's loss to Larry Krasner is most impressive: that he did worse than the guy 4 yrs ago who had to explain the dead woman in his bathtub; that he did worse than he did against Krasner in the closed Dem primary; or that his Forward Party endorsement wasn't decisive.

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.

Did any other Gen Xer's or elder Millennial's brain interpret that Zohran sign as a Blockbuster logo at first glance, or just mine?

I will happily accept a tax increase by the first Democratic POTUS after Trump, if the proceeds are for the explicit purpose of rapidly undoing all this shit and putting everything back like it was.

We could fund Social Security and SNAP for decades if this was PPV. Be a man of your word, Alan.

I love the smell of hope in the morning.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

The downfall of Donald J. Trump…

The worst people are having a bad night. You truly love to see it.

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

stay tuned

There are more of us than there are of them.

Delicious 😋

this was incredibly important to ward off future fuckery

Dem message for next year’s midterms

Dems in ARRAY

In case you’re wondering why Republicans have been panickingly gerrymandering as many red states as possible… just look at tonight’s election results. Virtually no good news for Republicans anywhere.

Waking up to the obituary of a terrible person, but it’s not the one you’re waiting for:

They really need those food riots to start happening so they can institute martial law and complete the authoritarian takeover.

Voting to Retain the PA Supreme Court isn’t just important to Pennsylvania, it’s important to our Nation and Democracy itself. #Vote YES to RETAIN on Nov. 4th. #IndivisiblePA @indivisible.org @indivisiblepa.bsky.social Source: @pbs.org @whyy.org www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

My favorite game of chance as a @septaphilly.bsky.social rider on the way home from a concert is called, “Guess Which Fucking Subway Entrances Are Actually *Open*.” I lost again tonight, with the added bonus of finally getting into the station just in time to see my train leave.

I dispatched 54 Garys in Vault 108. I can handle two without even breaking a sweat.

Gen-Xers did not know how spoiled we were as kids: We had Ted Knight narrating Super Friends; the Pointer Sisters helping us learn to count to 12; Morgan Freeman helping us learn to read; and Rita Moreno, who had an Oscar before she was on the Electric Company and finished the EGOT just after it.

Cleaned out a seldom-used drawer today and buried in the back I found an artifact of a time when I actually had hope for the future.

Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” a short, succinct burst of brilliance that you can finish in a day, should be required reading at all age levels at this stage.

Apple's new Image Playground app in macOS 15.2 took this headshot and turned me into a character from a GTA game and a Pixar movie.

This book is going to be a fun ride. There was a 19-page ‼️ cast of characters to get through, and I’ve already laughed out loud twice while reading the introduction.

Went to a screening of A Christmas Story earlier this week, met Peter Billingsley, and had him sign my cherished, well-thumbed copy of the book upon which it was based— which I’ve had since it was a summer reading assignment when I started high school back in 1987.
