Both Suozzi and Gillen, doing Long Island proud. Suozzi crushed his primary opponent, Gillen ran unopposed. Could their constant spouting of fascist talking points have something to do with Long Island having the only red wave in the country last year? Who can say!

I now understand that the Who were never a mod band but I'm a bit confused because in mod documentaries they always get a mention but Grant Green and Sonny Boy Williamson never do.

When you think you've heard it all. German courts have ruled that a family who entered Germany on German passports in 2020 had never been German citizens, because a 1908 marriage between a German colonial official and a Togolese woman was not legally valid under colonial law.

So damn good. #CountryRockSunday! Post away!

The divergence to the road to rock isn’t far from the paths tread by country and folk. When you push a fuzz-wah in front of the Devil’s sear for Stark Poet Townes, then yes, you may ask forgiveness for your thoughts, but come to #CountryRockSunday youtu.be/Ltr3hJBR7Og?...

FWIW the best Secret Wars II crossovers (IMO) - - The two-part Spider-Man one about the golden building - The Rachel Summers drains the life force of the universe one (mostly for terrific JrJr art) - The death of the New Mutants whose chilling cover is the single best SW2 image

#EventsDearBoy - The Top 40! 40. SECRET WARS II (1985, Marvel) Secret Wars was the most obvious superhero event - a huge fight. No surprise then that Secret Wars II is the second most obvious superhero event - a Candide-style philosophical satire about the meaning of life

Secret Wars II is most famous for the scene in which Spider-Man teaches cosmic naif the Beyonder to take a dump but the honest truth is that you can read any of the issues of this miniseries and the question "how in the name of god did this get published?" is never far away

Betty Brader (1923–1986)

The thing I would really like people to understand is that policymaking is all about choosing between imperfect options and doing nothing is very often a much worse choice than doing something that has some downsides as well as upsides.

IKYMI: Last week, I wrote for @assignedmedia.org about the difficulties — and beauty — of life as a fat trans person. I’ve been really pleasantly surprised since then by how many folks came out of the woodworks to share their stories in the QRTs, some of which are very raw and vulnerable.

I didn’t start a writing career from the bunk of a homeless shelter and sign a contract for my Big5 traditionally published cookbook debut within a year and half so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable.”

People in the U.K. will yell at someone for walking their dog on hot pathways, but moan when schools close. We care more abut the welfare of horses at ascot or dogs on leashes than we do about children in hot classrooms. And this issue isn’t going away. The summers we knew are gone.

Lurked on X this week to do some reporting. It's stunning how ugly it is there. Saw a Blaze reporter call a Landers' staffer a "fa***t." A Daily Wire reporter wants to abolish mosques. Nearly every reply thread to posts by black or Jewish people quickly descended into raw racism or antiSemitism.

Johnny Cash also performed "Five Feet High And Rising" for Biff the construction worker, and it's quite a unique song choice for a kid's show, considering it's about a flood he witnessed as a child...

Johnny Cash appeared on SESAME STREET during its 5th season in 1973, proving a natural alongside The Muppets. He would later go one to be equally as comfortable 7 years later on THE MUPPET SHOW. Here he is singing "Nasty Dan" to Oscar...

I feel much more informed now.

There's way too much talk among Democrats right now that the 2028 nominee can't be black and can't be gay and can't be Jewish and can't be a woman. We are not good at this kind of "casting" crap and it usually bites us in the ass. We need to pick the right candidate, not the right type of candidate.

Do you like free newsletters about movies and TV shows? Well, every Friday since 2022, I've been sending Stream On, covering the week's most interesting streaming releases plus other features (like recs from cool Special Guests!). consequence.net/stream-on/ Recently, there's been a big change... 🧵

Boots Riley has been trying to tell ppl this for a minute.

Today's featured work is a pair of earrings called "The First Wild Petals": wingssilverwork.com/the-first-wi.... Sterling silver; red sponge coral.

Anyway there is no "middle." There are just actual policy positions and POWER.

I saw this post on reddit earlier today and I can't stop thinking about it. This would be a killer @gailsimone.bsky.social book.

(wanting to be included, but i'm actually watching the Gilded Age) OHH MYYYY GODDDDD!!!!!

Just off the top of my head, some of Rubin's most infamous bullshit: trying to get the Black Crowes to change their name to Kobb Kounty Krows (KKK); forcing Danzig to sue him to get out of their contract; trying to railroad the Beastie Boys into making a movie where they're stuck in a haunted house.

that they should kiss?

The best story I can remember rn is that, according to Jim, not too long after they moved from Denver to Chicago, Roxy Music “Stranded” came out. They were so excited that they got posters & flats from the label to make a front window display 2/

Oh, jeez. I dunno. It was wonderful kids, freaks, and weirdos all day, every day. Jim and Dannie were out and queer af. Frankie was gay. No real clue about anyone else. It just really never came up. 1/

A few days later, “radical lesbians” (Jim’s words😹) threw a brick through the front window, with a note tied that said the display/album cover art was sexist and offensive. That brick, and the note “, sat on a special shelf they’d built just for it in the shop. 3/

I have watched a lot of commercials during this World Cup and it feels both correct and bad that the polymarket commercial and the Jesus commercial have the same vibes.

S-tier kinks cover

Congrats DR Congo! They had to quarantine in Belgium before the World Cup due to the devastating Ebola outbreak, yet still made it to the knockout stage for the first time in history!

It's never just the politician alone. It trickles down, and that's somethign I think we have to remember.

Reader, I cried. It's a star from Publisher's Weekly.

I hate asking for help again, but I’m dealing with an unexpected medical issue - a rapidly growing goiter my doctor is concerned may be serious, right as I’m making a big job/housing decision. I made a GFM for medical follow-up + runway while I figure out the next step. Would so appreciate shares.

the Rajkumar-Orkin map is so funny because it's Rajkumar putting up a healthy incumbent performance in the face of a stiff and organized challenge in Woodhaven and Ozone Park, then getting blown out in Glendale and losing Ridgewood by more than 60

Why the European left should always be pro-AC: - Ceding this popular issue to the right empowers them; in power they'll gut climate action far more than any AC "emissions." - AC runs on solar. Breaking news: The sun shines when it's hot. - AC saves lives. HEAT PUMPS FOR ALL! (AC is a heat pump...)
