Prediction: This pic will go down in history, like the photo of napalmed Vietnamese children, as an encapsulation of the horrors of this presidency.

Do you insist on reading at least a little about a movie after you've watched it or are you normal

Zag! You can feel the difference. “Every shimmer was made for real, no CG shortcuts.” Apple TV’s new identity ℅ TBWA\Media Arts Lab was built from real glass and captured entirely in camera. www.linkedin.com/posts/tbwame...

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Brother Warnock lays it plain.

When you desperately want to starve Americans:

Musk is still talking at the Tesla shareholder meeting and he just criticized "the parasitic load of being a public company" which has "grown over time." This from a man who was just awarded a $1 trillion pay package from more than 75% of his public company shareholders.

“There will always be something falling through the cracks. Instead of building a system without any cracks, I need to shift into building a system that allows for them.”

I don't want to "drill down," or "circle back" I want to go to sleep on the floor

Anybody know how things turned out last time these bold visionaries ran Germany?

Remember when the US under Nixon invaded Cambodia to spread democracy? It’s heartwarming to see the Cambodian People’s Party under Hun Manet still learning from America’s example.

“People going hungry is a choice this president has made.”

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Still semi-miserable with virus. Mostly exhaustion, swollen glands, body aches. Nausea has at least died down a bit.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Zohran Mamdani was the first NYC mayoral candidate to win more than one million votes since John Lindsay in 1969. Plus Zohran won 70% of voters under 45. Yes 70%! Yet we see some trying to gaslight us into saying Zohran did not win a mandate. What Zohran did is what a mandate looks like!

Did the New York Times ruin journalism?

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

Oh, hello. www.transition2025.com

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Great news—even if The Times, annoyingly, still tries to spin it as an improbable surprise. I suppose to them it was.

Zohran’s win may have surprised The Times, but it was no surprise to New Yorkers, or the magazine that bears our name. Well done to artist Edel Rodriguez. www.newyorker.com/culture/cove...

Amazing. Trump has turned Georgia blue.

cracking open a gatorade because i libbed out too hard last night

This NYT story about how Mamdani dealt with the opposition by the city's elites fails to mention one particular elite institution: The NYT editorial page, which last June railed against him as "uniquely unsuited to the city’s challenges... lacks political savvy" www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/n... 1/

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

It’s almost like Americans are sending a message.

This is, per usual, note-perfect.

this was fun. let’s do it again.

It’s almost like Americans are sending a message.

I wish I could show you all the joyous photos and videos being shared on Muslim and South Asian WhatsApp right now with people reacting to Mamdani's victory. It's really beautiful and cathartic. So many years of anti-Muslim bigotry, racism & hate. And all those tears are now sugar for our chai.

Shorter: If you don’t agree to let us triple your insurance premiums and take millions out of Medicaid and Medicare, I’m going to starve the elderly, children, and vets.
