The Right stays a magnet for the very worst and most self-hating Asians: “Wayne [was] previously…committed to a psych ward after he ‘came out to his classmates as transracial.’ According to the email, Wayne is Asian American. He says he changed his name from Wang to Wayne a few years ago.”

Steve Hilton dreams of Califordication

Steyer is the “change agent in this race” because you better believe his pockets are full of change

“Chad Bianco” has the kind of Paul Thomas Anderson supporting character name where you can predict the entirety of his story arc after hearing it

As far as the “can I see this person as governor” test, most people probably thought Becerra, Steyer, and maybe Porter passed. But YMMV. Bottom line I don’t think this really moved the race in any major fashion.

I don’t think anyone really did much for their chances. I feel like Bianco was repellent enough to get Dems to start taking this race seriously and Hilton just seemed like a bizarre artifact. Dude was a staffer for UK prime minister David Cameron less than a decade ago and he’s running for CA gov?

Hilton: I’m not part of this system, I’ve barely even lived in this country!

Porter’s closing address swipes at two of her Democratic rivals which uh, don’t like that

Bianco says he will not endorse his opponent because he believes it’ll be him and Hilton in November He on drugs

Katie Porter lands a hard right on hard right sheriff Bianco by saying Latin immigrants shouldn’t have to “get over racism”—first real counterpunch of the night against the two Republicans Okay I see you Katie

Tom Steyer is not going to let people posting against him keep him from fighting for the people!

Chad “my last name means WHITE” Bianco says: Let’s stop with all this “racism” stuff

Becerra seems warm, gentle and kind, which already makes him stand out from the field on the stage

Tom Steyer is monochrome from the neck up, like a wrinkled peeled egg

I’m sure Trump endorsed Steve Hilton under the condition that he introduce him to his hot daughter, Paris

Steyer says he wants to build interim housing that people actually want to live in but doesn’t answer the question of whether he’d make moving into the housing mandatory (via police pickup) It’s the third rail of “interim housing” plans I guess

Katie Porter is actually the first person to respond to the homelessness question in a fully informed fashion, although she didn’t actually offer any policy solutions Xavier Becerra’s 0% loans to keep people in homes makes sense but he needs to sell these things more sharply

Chad Bianco is not actually running for governor, he’s a leather-daddy terminator sent back in time to eliminate all Democrats

Matt Mahan is two tweenaged technocrats in a raincoat

He just said he wants to make the state “Califordable” Go home Steve

I cannot believe that Republican voters would support Steve Hilton for California governor after hearing his posh-ass Oxfordian British accent

The @nytimes.com issues the most savage correction in recent sports history on this article about the Queens baseball team's now 12-game losing streak. That burn needs immediate treatment, Mets. Gift link to original article with correction at bottom: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/n...

Imagine Trump unleashing a set of catastrophes so enormous that globally we’re knocked back to the coal age of technology

Kash Patel files eye-popping $250 million suit against The Atlantic

Rep. Paul Gosar claims he’s healthy as a horse. That only means he’s lying to his constituents and likely refusing treatment for whatever condition he has. Having a disability or illness is not disqualifying, but refusing to acknowledge it or seek help should be.

The fact that there are still many people who think this man believes in any form of God is just insane

Would definitely love an amendment to this law to tax at 100% pieds a terre owners whose last names rhyme with “Lump”

In addition, rather than keeping then vacant, luxury pied a terre owners will be more likely to rent them out to generate income (and avoid the tax). Same knock-on effects, except for the rental market. So yes: win-win. And if toxic billionaires are forced out of New York entirely, win-win-win.

It seems counterintuitive that selloff in the luxury market lowers all real estate prices/rents, but studies have shown that as unit supply at the top grows and luxury prices fall, demand rolls upward, increasing unit supply and thus lowering prices in lower tiers—a phenomenon called “filtering”

This is a win-win for Mamdani’s agenda (which is an agenda for poor/working & middle class NYers): —a tax on luxury pieds a terre worth $5M+ raises money for vital New York programs that benefit everyone —if luxury pied a terre owners decide to flee and sell, it’ll put downward pressure on rents

Things are escalating. The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just rebuked Vance’s attack on the Pope, specifically citing the pontiff’s role as supreme pastor of the Church and as Vicar of Christ, not just someone “offering opinions”

JD Vance on the Pope: Dude better watch himself. Who the hell does he think he is — the Pope?

Does Vance get excommunicated first or impeached first? Place your bets bsky.app/profile/orig...

If you’re a devout Catholic you don’t think of the Pope as merely “clergy.” I’m not Catholic and haven’t written a swaggering book on converting to the faith, and I STILL know the Pope definitionally holds supreme authority over Church doctrine, and Vance is heretical to challenge him this way.

I love this for him www.vox.com/politics/485...

217 to go

It's all quite a dickstep for the feckless upholstery maven, following his decision to put an obviously Protestant church on the cover of his book about becoming super-Catholic, as well as the prior Pontiff, Pope Francis, passing away a day after experiencing his death touch.

As Catholics turn on Trump for his attacks on the Pope and his posting of an AI image of himself as Jesus, let us pause to consider that J.D. Vance somehow chose this moment to release his unwanted and unasked for second memoir about his conversion to fundamentalist Catholicism.

Delivery for the Offal Orifice

Parlay bet “Majority of evangelicals go along with it”

Polymarket odds for Trump declaring himself the actual messiah are spiking

They’ll move it to Moscow

Let’s just acknowledge that this kind of attack is foundationally antisemitic at its core

Big difference between Orban and Trump? Orban conceded his loss.

Just saw PROJECT HAIL MARY and really enjoyed it, especially its underlying message that people only take brilliant ideas seriously when they come from the mouth of a mediocre white-collar white dude, rather than the working-class Black genius who actually came up with them

Also yeah, why not get the label to pay for you to hang with cool new besties lol
