NYT writing about the new mayor this morning

i wouldn't be a total glenn youngkin hater if i didn't mention that the results tonight mean that his total tenure amounted to presiding over the destruction — at least for the next few years — of the virginia republican party. lmao.

Farewell sweet Prince

someone invited people magazine to the kitchen and they brought their own knives

Such a good game of chess I feel like @sarahz.bsky.social

the panting over-enthusiasm for Platner is another example of how you should never be horny on Maine.

As @unavaleable.bsky.social would say, dawg

genuinely insane to see an american presidential administration openly embracing the trappings of monarchy

Grotesque corruption. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

*slams dick in car door* The DNC must have done this

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

No more fucking heroes we cannot be creating more heroes I don't want to see another person hitting a school shooter with a chair I do not want to see another person hiding a child from an ethnic cleansing I don't want to see more heroes Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

chat, do we think republicans are winning when democrats are getting headlines like this out of politico

I just want to be clear, they are personally calling you, the reader, a terrorist

if your response to this - a basic statement of sympathy about an attack on a synagogue - is to bring up Israel, please delete your account

just got my dna results back ☹️

I suddenly understand why Gavin Newsom looks like that

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

jesus christ

"Rank-and-file Democrats want to see their leaders take a stand. Not a stand on behalf of Obamacare, important though that is. A moral stand grounded in an idea about what our society is and should be," writes @mjtoma.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2004...

There are multiple Constitutional crises that justify a government shutdown to check the executive. Instead of picking fights on any of these grounds, Democrats intend to try to extract arcane policy concessions using Tea Party tactics. Breathtaking fecklessness from an unfit leadership.

You're going to see a lot of "he's a violent antifascist leftist" and "he's a groyper" but the core of Tyler Robinson's motivation is almost certainly that he's an online-poisoned idiot gamer.

They care more about this than any of the recent massacres of children because they see dead pundits as people and dead kids as content.

Glenn Beck’s media outlet The Blaze just gave an interview last month to the person who killed the politicians in Minnesota

The context for a lot of the "why don't people make conservative students feel more welcome 😔" contaversies is that a lot of those students see themselves as active enemies of the institutions they're part of.

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

i find it pretty remarkable how we blatantly have what is essentially an incredibly well-coordinated fascist-ultranationalist internationale whilst every theoretically internationalist opposition is seemingly isolated within its own national political context

Next time she goes to Martha's Vineyard, she should just stay there for good.

Apparently London has both a “Mayor of London” (does normal mayor stuff) and a “Lord Mayor of London” (does civic events in costumes) and like, not to hand it to England, but I think I’ve figured out what we can do with Eric Adams

we need to connect the robots who call offering loans to the robots who text asking for campaign money

a legitimate defense of "personal liberty" would be calling for Maryland's state police to use force to protect Kilmar Abrego Garcia from deportation. a legitimate defense of "free markets" would call Trump's theft of 10% of Intel the robbery it is.

Full up I believe that any SM who volunteers for this duty, or any commissioned officers who help bring it about, should be dishonorably discharged at 12:01PM Jan 20 2029.

Rule of law and respect for the Constitution are dead. When this administration is ousted, return to constitutional norms demands the people who have decreed your rights are forfeit *must* have their rights forfeited in return. They have sown the wind, let them reap the whirlwind.

By the way, there’s a fourth page I cut for length, but on it you can see that the best-testing and one of the worst-testing messages are nearly identical. In other words YOUR METHODOLOGY IS TRASH.

any halfway decent journalist should ask Newsom "why is 19 too young to receive lifesaving medical treatment but not too young to date you"

Has this man never listened to a country music radio station in his life? Maybe I'm just not a cosmopolitan elitist like Brooks, but where I grew up, the environment *was* saturated in Christian Nationalist sermonizing.

“John Roberts knows exactly what he is doing, and he knows exactly the message he is sending to America.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The one thing that always pops up in the comments of any sort of GLP-1 news, is some idiot who thinks they have the secret to weight loss success, and it's usually the most ableist and ill-informed take you've ever heard

“There are a few ways you could go about controlling a pair of smart glasses with apps, but Meta’s approach is allegedly a ‘neural wristband,’ which is a wearable that reads the electrical signals in your arm for finger- and hand-based inputs. This is where the weirdness comes in.”

For most of the last decade, our media and political class has panicked over the idea that progressives were intruding on free speech rights by loudly criticizing people with unpopular views. Anyway, here's far-right federal paramilitaries advertising that they'll rip down pro-immigrant messages.

"but crime is a real issue, people are worried about crime and you have to take that seriously" No you don't! If people are getting more scared about crime while crime is happening less frequently, it's a made up issue and you should make a point of yelling that all the time

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

Facebook is probably up there with oil and tobacco companies in terms of net harm to human society

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

The best time to treat this guy as a non-entity was when he wrote gentile fanfiction about the Shoah. The second best time is now.

lol buddy this says AI = 0

Discovered today that not everyone considers this nine year old viral tweet a seminal text in the field of social media studies but I do
