Congratulations to the DC Council’s newest member, @elissasilverman.bsky.social!

Posting a comic cover I love.

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber

Shapiro: "At the end of the day, what they really have is a bunch of conspiracy theories, and they're just trying to suck up to their boss and please him at a time where he is more and more unhinged and disconnected from reality."

Oh she's desperate and down bad

Rejected a white man on the apps and he told me to go to DC cause they dont need my "Black attitude" out here. LOVE Delaware!!

First night of vacation means not sleeping well in a new bed and waking up dumb early be accident

Thank you, Olivia Rodrigo for changing my life

I miss when Vimeo was also a relevant place to find videos especially of performances by musicians. Even Wolrdstar had some good musical content before Youtube drank the Water of Life (merged with Google)

This makes economic sense to me but feels like a platformization threat we will regret in the future like Facebook-Instagram or Google-Youtube.

WGA West boardmember Adam Conover describes news of the Paramount-WBD merger as "like a bomb went off" in Hollywood. He explains the increasingly urgent stakes surrounding the merger - mrf.lu/2GmcT

I'm certainly disappointed that the DC AG did not join in on this antitrust suit, especially since we have so few theaters and have lost local legends like E Street Cinema

Most ppl agreed that Paramount-Warner Bros merger is insane and governments snd unions across this country did something about it. That's how democracy is supposed to work

Ive been following the Paramount story since the initial Netflix proposal. Seeing the way folks organized to push against these mega-mergers and how that manifested in the suits against Paramount-Warner Bros gives me so much hope

"Thousands of us have already lost our jobs." "I cannot afford my health insurance because I have no work." Opportunities across the entertainment industry are disappearing. More media consolidation will only make this worse. State attorneys general must block the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger.

JLG's lead is so impressive you can't even see the commie corridor as the lead reaches into Cap Hill and many long time middle income Black neighborhoods in Wards 4, 5, and 8

BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans. After the federal government settled the case, 34 states kept pursuing the giant ticket and concert company. Now, the states have won.

The idea that I have to be charismatic and stuff at Kickball events for the next three days is so proactively exhausting

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

New episode of Organized Money is out: we talked to Lindsay Owens about how Google is working to create bots that do your shopping for you, personally, with your very own personalized prices. Scary stuff! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Sen. Dick Durbin, another one of the 8 Democratic YES votes on Nov funding bill, is a NO on this DHS measure: “I will not vote to fund the illegal DHS and ICE operations that terrorize Chicago, Minneapolis, and many other communities.” This bill doesn’t have the votes.

What if we got back into impeaching judges?

Google combining monopoly profits with a sort of price-fixing, cartelization scheme is so brazen and insane. Judge Mehta's choice not to take a hammer to Google should be remembered as a huge stain on his career open.spotify.com/episode/4xqA...

The narrative the White House and Fox News is pushing that protesters are too organized and funded is right out of the authoritarian playbook. It’s a way to delegitimize and criminalize left-wing groups, donors, and the Democratic Party. It’s not gonna work.

Great work by @wepowerdc.bsky.social. Harrison is one of the smartest and coolest ppl I know and I'm very proud of him www.commondreams.org/opinion/ener...

The source of my anxiety for the last two months, Kickball Registration, is now in full swing. Today is the easiest day, and it's all downhill from here.

To the diva that was puking at Horse Meat Disco, please take care of yourself

#Boots was the latest in a series of LGBTQ shows canceled after one season. I wanted to understand the market structure that allows for a few hegemonic voices to be the sole decision makers around our stories. Moreover, how the WB sale would make that worse open.substack.com/pub/broadlys...

democratic majority isn’t playing around!!

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

And THIS is why I'm trying to have all kickball games away from the mall

As a local I think I’m going to be more rankled by the corny statue garden than the ballroom

Did @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social just put the final nail in the "Abundance" coffin? She challenged its advocates to prove they are advancing the public good, rather than give the wealthy interests championing it more of what they want. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

As we talk to voters around Ward 1, one issue has come up more than any other: RATS 🐀🚫 Today, we’re releasing our “Ratform” on how we plan to address the rat crisis, part of our larger constituent services platform, Making Government Work For You: aparnafordc.com/platform

Mary Peltola enters Alaska U.S. Senate race. She takes on Sen. Dan Sullivan. Dems say Peltola makes Alaska one of their top chances to flip a seat. It puts Sen. Murkowski in a spot. She's endorsed Peltola before. Now she's endorsing her GOP colleague. alaskapublic.org/news/politic...

Recently, I've been surviving butch fantasies when out n about and I dont know if thats a subtle gender crisis or its just too cold to dress f*ggy

I just think prosecuting ICE agents would help with the vibes. Whatever resources governors and mayors can summon to help in that endeavor, they should.

Last year I was like "In 2025, I'm gonna be a hater" and was too soft to keep up the bit. Luckily, in 2026, Im like "most ppl are dreadful. Let's go dance."

One thing they dont tell you about running Stonewall Kickball is that the off-season planning and admin shit is avtually the more exhausting work

I need to finish my substack post about Boots and Netflix (he says for the umpteenth time)

The only true personality is being a One Piece fan
