Platner keeps talking to @chrislhayes.bsky.social about “my struggles” — now where have we heard that phrase before?

Platner very much is a discernible type, but it’s not “flawed but basically decent working class joe.” It’s “prep school creep with a sadistic streak and an ironclad confidence that it will never catch up to him.“

Settling in for a cozy evening watching TV with my boyfriend Graham Platner; just gotta move his AR-15 off the sofa and watch out for sparks as he literally sharpens an ax in his Capitol Hill apartment (gift link)

Trump gets: golden ballroom You get: maggot burgers

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

If only Penn administrators had as much integrity as, say, Milli Vanilli

The concept of “free speech zones” and “first amendment zones” is fucking bonkers. So you mean the full constitution doesn’t apply outside of the little square y’all decided on? And we’re supposed to just comply with that?

“Weigh-ins will take place at the Lincoln Memorial” WTF? And the only note of criticism in the story is from John McCain (d. 2018)??

This is the speech we need! Now let’s try it a little louder.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

Since my two PA senators are beyond useless, I’m rooting for NJ’s @kim.senate.gov. Grateful that he is putting himself out there to call attention to the outrageous conditions at Delaney Hall.

On behalf of all Philadelphians: Eeeeww

Goddammit, the sheep movie made me cry

Converting to Catholicism so I can tell my bosses using unregulated AI is against my religion and I will sue them like that cake lady who hated gay people if they make me use it

Colbert is both a mensch and an actual genius. One of one. He and @maddow.bsky.social are the two best broadcasters of our time; truly in their own category. I'm angry and sad the president and the feckless suits cancelled the show but also know it's not the end.

33 years. Countless laughs. One hell of a writing staff. Tonight, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert signs off. The writers who made it an institution — our members — go out the way they came in: with integrity, solidarity, and the best jokes in the room.

If all the nobles could just get out of their exposed positions in the countryside—where all sorts of trouble can ensue—and live near and attend and party with the sun king on the well-guarded premises of Versailles, I think it’s a great investment for the French people.

A federal badge is not a license to violate the Constitution, and it is not a shield from state criminal law.

HAPPY ELECTION DAY, PENNSYLVANIA! Polls are open 7am-8pm.

Donald Trump bought this guy a new pick up with your tax dollars. Seems like a decent talking point to me.

Jim Crow 2.0 isn’t coming, it’s here. Yesterday, hundreds marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama to continue the fight for voting rights that are under grave assault. The bridge isn’t just a symbol. It’s a call. Get on the bridge.

🔥

Love the McNallys, and also their unsung BLT

That might have been me giving the robot the finger. I’m so angry Philadelphia has just unleashed these giant robot yeti coolers on sidewalks with no oversight, no regulation. Nobody liked delivery-bike riders on sidewalks, now we’re putting them out of work for these contraptions? Gift link:

If you think Bluesky sucks, you are not using it correctly. I have curated my feed to be full of DeliciousWeirdos™️ and KingShitposters™️ which means endless nerdiness (complimentary), bangers, and really insightful threads. Sorry you aren't having fun you aren't playing right. Try harder!

Oh, Elmo, you disappoint me #LGM

Keith Hernandez on these wretched Metsies: “They’re paddling upstream … without a paddle”

I cannot wait for this

A bit of cheerleading for you: Even some gerrymandered seats are not 100% certain to go the way the GOP wants in a wave election. In the last five midterm elections, the incumbent's party lost 9, 13, 30, 40, and 63 seats. Do you know how many turnovers Democrats need to flip the House? Three.

Happy Big Sexy Day, everybody #Mets

This is your cat on catnip! 🌱

I don’t know, I think PA Republicans could re-elect him just to piss people off

Hmmmm, who do I trust more to look out for women, Smith College or a Trump appointee currently being sued for covering up years of sexual abuse?

Mets win! Flyers game on! Met Gala red carpet ongoing! Pulitzer analysis! Too many things happening all at once for a Monday evening 😵‍💫

CONGRATULATIONS to @jkbjournalist.bsky.social for being awarded a Pulitzer Special Citation in recognition of her reporting on Jeffrey Epstein in 2017 and 2018! (www.pulitzer.org/winners/juli...)

This is why the current London exhibition of the Queen's old clothes is really speaking to me. Her things were definitely expensive -- but never "screamingly" so.

“Historically, allowing regimes to collect lists of Jewish people has not boded well for their safety.”

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

Great tribute 🧵 to the brilliant, cranky, hilarious Nicole Hollander. RIP.

You look beautiful Philadelphia!

Well done, hedline writer, you had me at “scromiting”
