A whole generation of young New Yorkers grew up loving Fiorello LaGuardia because he read them the funny pages over the radio during the newspaper strike. Mamdani, who reveres LaGuardia, seems like he’ll inspire similar affection from Gens Alpha and Beta.

Graham Platner is just the latest manifestation of a desire to re-center White masculinity in the Democratic Party––and he has all the same weaknesses of the other avatars of masculinity consultants have thrown at voters. My two cents here: www.jfassler.com/p/graham-pla...

Calling Bari Weiss the worst network news head in history sounds hyperbolic, but it's true. She is so awful that she makes Chris Licht look like Roone Arledge. (Look him up.)

I think like a lot of people my age, I learned who John Waters was because of his great performance in The Simpsons episode "Homer's Phobia." This Pride Month, make sure you watch it - and then watch his Female Trouble. One of the funniest movies ever made.

The moral of Euphoria was that Sam Levinson didn’t deserve Zendaya or Colman Domingo.

Every one of Graham Platner's supporters sounds like Susan Collins right now: "He learned his lesson!"

Honestly if you couldn’t see this coming from a mile away based on the Reddit posts, you have no business being in politics. www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

My take on Disclosure Day has to stay Under wraps, I think. Obviously I'm not objective about Steven Spielberg, so all of the Things I want to Say to you about it will have to wait Even though I want to Exclaim them from the housetops.

y'know what, I did skin my forearms once, in high school, in an inflatable obstacle course incident and years later, @nneka.bsky.social (as an adulty adult lmao) badly sprained her ankle in a bounce house regretfully I must now conclude that bouncy castles are a tool of white supremacist violence

If Armando Iannucci is writing this, I demand Paddington drop F-bombs like Peter Capaldi in every other scene. variety.com/2026/film/gl...

They pepper sprayed a Senator.

After spending the last decade being told what art is or who artists are by people who have no understanding of it or them, it's good to see someone get up at a commencement speech and express the truth.

The first, but not the last!

Hasan Piker will have to earn my support if he wants me to take a stand against this. www.foxnews.com/politics/fed...

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

BREAKING NEWS: DNC gives Zack Snyder $70 million to remake the 2024 Autopsy.

Note to Democrats: Whether or not you "like" the head of the DNC doesn't correspond with whether Dems win or lose. I hated Tom Perez, but under him we won the White House, House and Senate. I love Jaime Harrison, but under him we lost all three. So yours (and my) opinion on Ken Martin is irrelevant.

I'm less concerned with the DNC Autopsy and more concerned with the fact that the President is an autocrat and the Supreme Court just threw out the Voting Rights Act.

This is a deep cut and I love it.

He's gonna re-hire Olivia Nuzzi, isn't he? www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/b...

I'm really going to miss Barney Frank.

Irving Berlin dropped this diss track about Hitler in 1941. Seems relevant today. youtu.be/XDkhzVw0yBs?...

A lot of ppl are very upset that Colbert's last show is this week - and I get it. Censorship is alarming and media giving into a bully potus is terrible. However, I ask that you also remember that over 300k Black women were unceremoniously let go under this same potus. Colbert will be fine.

This whole thread is spot-on.

It would not surprise me if Ross Barkan used AI to write his stories. He is such an incurious writer - unwilling to either examine his priors and conveniently omitting crucial information, like how for his "WTF Happened to Matt Taibbi" piece, he never asked about his denying Assad's atrocities.

I think more people are going to realize in the near future how big a domino this was to topple.

🧵 When this is over I want to have a real conversation about how the “l don’t see color” looney ass left people looked us dead in the eye and told us people that aren’t qualified or educated enough to run the 4th largest economy in the world were the better choice than the Brown Man on the ticket.

The National Popular Vote Compact is a white liberal idea that could have the effect of only electing MAGA Republicans President & electing them unanimously. Work your way down the game tree on this folks. MAGA would try to invalidate Dem votes in red states to give themselves the popular vote win.

Right now, red states are capped in their influence in the Electoral College. If you enact the popular vote compact so states vote in the EC for the popular vote winner, Republicans would try to invalidate Democratic votes in red states to reduce Dems’ popular vote total & ensure only Rs can win.

Well he’s never gonna be president now!

@cjfuego98.bsky.social Hey could I DM you?

To quote @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social, “I like ambiguity in my art and certainty in my life.”

The people hate-reading Molly Crabapple's book about the Jewish Bund, Here Where We Live Is Our Country, are doing us a great favor by exposing this as the Horny Anti-Zionist Fan Fiction it actually is.

So glad that readers gave Jeff Wells money to go to Cannes so that he could sleep through movies and take pictures of random French people without their consent!

Dave’s thread is very good but I disagree that BlueSky is an echo chamber, because that would imply we agree with each other. Liberals don’t agree with each other on anything.

Very smart and well-explained thread about why "Doctor" Abdul El-Sayed is wrong to falsify his credentials. If you hate it, please assume I already know.

Far lefties love to dish it out, but they always go whining to the moderators whenever they're attacked.

He said the same thing about Democrats and Graham Platner.

I thought he was already dead. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Me online vs Me IRL.

I've asked this question a lot but I feel like it bears repeating: What is the greatest Disney song ever written, and why is it "Under the Sea?"

If you're upset about things today here's something you can do - make fun of this article because super-far-lefties suck at writing criticism!

Yeah, I'm dooming. The dismantling of the Voting Rights Act and the VA Supreme Court gutting the redistricted map are really infuriating. THAT SAID - I'd have been dooming the day Dred Scott was handed down, and 10 years later the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments had all passed. Things change.

as per melissa's thread, it is really important to understand that a major goal of this administration is the resegregation of key institutions of american society

The racist Ivy League Republican SCOTUS justices’ standard that racism is legal if you can’t prove racist intent is the same mindset that allowed literacy tests and poll taxes in the Jim Crow South for decades. It is literally the mindset & legal standard that allowed Jim Crow to flourish.

Joseph Sexton blocking Julie Brown from winning a Pulitzer for her Epstein reporting because "nothing came of it" is the journalism equivalent of Wim Wenders refusing to give the Palme d'Or to Do the Right Thing because it had "no one to root for."

This fucking guy.
