Good thread, and I will add that men DO NOT LIKE IT when women say "hey, you fucked up," and to the extent that women tend to soften the blow with indirectness, it's because men feel like their honor is insulted if they have to take feedback from women.

YES!!! What great news to come back to after working!

God I hope so, or I have been putting in all this effort for nothing.

Mr Measured just ran in here to tell me he saw a video that said all the little girls dressed as Rumi, Mira, and Zoey on Halloween last week sealed the honmoon so things can get better now so if you need me I’ll be sobbing in a corner 😭

It's very recognizable, in part because the scams don't change much--I suspect it's really only one or two people generating all of them--but how weirdly specific and yet bizarrely generic they manage to be when talking about my book. It's like eating ice cream with no flavor.

Violet, the widowed Countess of Cambury, has always been a proper lady. That’s why she funneled her scandalous scientific research through her best friend. /jb Amazon: www.amazon.com/Count... Apple: itunes.apple.com/us/... Nook: http://www.barnesand...

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

So not only do they need to label rooms to help him remember where he is, but they don't think they're going to need to do so for much longer.

IT'S ACTUALLY PAPER

This week’s newsletter contains Election Thoughts (boring) and also pictures of my latest project, which, okay, I will put here too. view.flodesk.com/ema... Look it’s a contour map of the mountains outside Boulder, whee!

the loss of talent in the DOJ

I agree with the thread & with Courtney & also want to add one thing: When we talk about progressive & conservative areas, we're usually looking at election results, BUT: We don't actually know that we're a a half/half nation - we know only that we're a gerrymandered & voter suppressed nation.

I agree with this thread, but I also need to add one thing: The idea that progressives can't win in conservative areas? We need to challenge that, and after this election, we can.

Mini spatula! Cute!

LINA KHAN is on Mamdani’s transition team???????? LET’S GOOOOOO

I agree with the bottom line, but I would say that it's least likely to get SCOTUS approval because the issue splits the GOP coalition and most of the GOP Justices are ideologically committed to lower taxes and freer trade.

yesterday versus today Fuck yes, Aurora deserves so much better!

I spent way too much time arguing with a racist dude who claimed that Mamdani was going to turn into a fascist because he said “let this be the last time I utter your [Cuomo’s] name,” which was, according to this dude, a dogwhistle and an attack.

Recruit a Democrat. Every seat. Every state. Waves need someone to ride them. Call your state party, sign up to run, or volunteer. Make the GOP fight for every inch. Let’s go! No seat left empty!

Just because we beat them doesn’t mean we should continue to let billionaires spend whatever they want on elections.

it's been a really bad long shitty time for people who care about victims of rape and sexual abuse, and those who've suffered it. drubbing someone who perpetrated it gleefully and believed he was entitled to power despite it is part of this.

I'm super stoked that Colorado voted to fund free meals for kids for schools. (I've been saying lunches, but the program includes breakfasts, too.)

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

let this be a lesson that sexual predators can eat shit. we do not forget.

First local data drop and the homeless hating guy is NOT doing well! Woohoo!Party

Didn’t even have time to make popcorn damn

YESSSSS LET’S GO DEMOCRATIC ATTORNEY GENERALS!!!!!!!!!!!

This is beautiful.

sharing your food at any velocity is not a crime and a sandwich is not a weapon

I bought hoagie rolls today. It's sandwich time!

Colonel Mustard did it! We just didn’t take a picture of evidence because…because…because…

This statement is true, and Steve also knows what I‘m about to say, so this is just additional commentary not a correction: This is not new. Cops have been doing this for ages. Talk back to a cop and they’ll rough you up. They have been doing this and getting away with it for a very long time.

Someone has to have made a video of Sandwich Guy superimposed to “holding out for a hero,” right?

Free buses, rent freeze, municipal grocery stores

Do we know what kind of sandwich Sandwich Guy threw? This is not important at all but I am hungry.

Hello Colorado! Remember to vote YES on LL and MM to keep children fed in schools. And for those few of you in Arvada District 3, NO on Skoff.

Officer guy: and it made me hungry. :(

I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for certain people to understand that Mamdani is doing so well because he is advocating for more than “keep Trump from taking the few good and/or semi-decent things that remain” and is articulating a real vision for how to make New York better.

Hey Colorado, reminder for today's voting, let's keep all kids in Colorado fed. Vote YES on LL and MM!

That. That. Just. No.

If you're voting in Arvada district 3 and didn't get the memo, please don't vote for the jerk whose entire platform is "we should hire an army of police to deal with the five homeless people I sometimes see near the library because the church there offers social services."

Y'ALL THEY DID IT!!!!!!!!

This is genuinely heartbreaking.

I have been ignoring everything, including email, for the last few weeks, but finally just realized that I needed to make sure Flytrap could renew after backing the Kickstarter. Are you in the same boat? They're nearly to the goal!

Anyway I feel like I received a large blessing this morning, and have shared that by supporting my friend and brother Mohamed who remains in Al Mawasi camp since losing his land to the security buffer around Gaza. Please join me. chuffed.org/project/help...

I love how the version of "abuses" we would do is all like "holy shit they'll give everyone rights."

'Federal prosecutors opposed Dunn’s lawyers’ motion to dismiss the charge, writing that Dunn was “recorded throwing a sandwich at a federal officer at point-blank range". POINT BLANK RANGE. A SANDWICH. LMAOOO

If our economic system is so brittle that it can be destroyed by free buses, maybe we should try for something more resilient.

Trump endorsed Cuomo because abusers stick together. Also, they both hate Letitia James for investigating them.
