Yeah, this is legitimately worth amplifying.

Jesus. Just hook it to my veins.

This is the perfect encapsulation of Trumpism -- because of its obsession with imagery, the White House crew caused a problem but blamed it on other people, leading to MAGA making threats against the United Nations for their own screw up

This kicks ass. Bravo @aft.org @rweingarten.bsky.social 👏👏👏 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Oh that doesn't sound good

/17 I learned from the experience. Not about how to manage depression; I was stupid about that for a long time. But I started to learn about judges and similar actors yelling at me: I can‘t control how they act, but I can control how I react. Aside from fainting I mean.

Hell yeah

"Indeed, the ever-cynical Jentleson keeps attempting to take ideological credit for the success of New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, despite the fact that Jentleson never supported his candidacy" Man, he is just the worst.

Could someone release a director's cut of Caught Stealing that's just the cat?

true, and only very tangentially related: Bipartisan Ratfuck as a band name goes kinda hard

Pretty well-executed.

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right? IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If— CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother? IKARI: Look, let me answer the question. CHOTINER: Sure.

If that’s the job he actually wants, he should have the guts to go for it. I’m running for Congress to represent the 6th District, not as a stepping stone. We deserve more than being a career politician’s consolation prize.

The Mets have scored six runs since this. I’m not saying it’s the reason but it is pretty neat.

san francisco, take note. canvassing access to doorman buildings, or otherwise access restricted buildings, is a big deal. it’s why it was so hard to campaign for sonja in soma. i got threatened with eviction over flyering an Avalon building…

politico has now edited their story to eliminate references to “the autism problem” and deleted their bsky post about it someone got caught

Chuckles, you know how you define "doing your job" as "keeping your big donors happy"? Trump defines doing *his* job as "destroying the state's capacity to prevent him from doing anything he wants". We want to *prevent* him from doing his job.

I still will not tell you which candidate is short of $1,000, only that $225 evenly split would be enough to get them there

On Rosh Hashanah at synagogue yesterday, I found myself praying for Mariam Abu Dagga, a 33 year old AP reporter killed in August while working in Gaza. Dagga, a mother of a 12 year old boy, has evacuated her son to the UAE, but Dagga stayed behind in Gaza doing her job as a reporter for AP.

A parent detained with their kid for… “Recently, they were detained after stopping to check on a car accident. They did nothing wrong, but instead of receiving compassion, they were taken into immigration custody and moved between facilities. Conditions inside are harsh and dehumanizing.”

I haven't read the spinoff novella yet, but Jason's book is a very good one if all this rapture talk has you feeling things from your youth, and is an absolute steal at $3. (Seriously, one of my favorite reads in recent years, and I only grew up lightly brushed by evangelical culture!)

I am once again asking @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to come on The War on Cars podcast to talk about his transportation, public space, and climate policies.

Chotiner: "[Hayek] said that he had a “profound dislike for the typical Indian students at the London School of Economics, which I admit are all one type—Bengali moneylender sons."" Sunstein: "I didn’t know about that. Wow." Jesus, Isaac. You hold the sword and they impale themselves on it.

More from the Suffolk University poll: www.suffolk.edu/-/media/suff... Do you support or oppose "defund the police"? Support - 21% Oppose - 74% Would you support or oppose cutting some of the police budget and using the money for social services? Support - 54% Oppose - 41%

🚨 NOW: NYPD Arresting Demonstrators Near UN Assembly: “Trump does not speak for us!” A coalition of orgs, in addition to @50501newyork.bsky.social, formed a blockade (restricting traffic) to gain attention from the International community during the UN assembly. Their message: SHUTDOWN TRUMP.

In difficult times, more than ever, you need to have a battle cry of faith. Create a sound of victory. “Yes, this problem is big, but I know my dick is bigger.”

Here on Rapture Day, I should tell you about my $3 ebook that includes an 80-page "the Rapture happened, and a group of ex-evangelical young women were left behind" novella, spinning off of my novel. Only available here:

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

"Recognize players who are extraordinary in multiple categories of passing, some of which are regarded as bad."

"What we're calling for is very clear developer-level opt-outs to say, 'Do not fucking touch us if you're an agent.'”

Israel is deliberately depriving people of aid in #Gaza. MSF’s new report shows how restrictions blocked medical supplies, sometimes even forcing our teams to perform procedures without anesthesia. Read the report: ow.ly/YZ8v50WZFBs

Suffolk poll of NYC mayor’s race shows Mamdani with a big lead — including a lead among Black New Yorkers while Cuomo leads among Republicans. www.suffolk.edu/-/media/suff...

Just saw a road construction worker take a minute to do double duty as a crossing guard for a mom and her two young kids. The little boy was probably about 5, and in complete awe that the construction worker was helping him cross the street. Wholesome af.

"Even if they hate us for it." The discomfort I was pushed to embrace was the fear of being an asshole, alienating people, etc., as opposed to vulnerability from being kind and generous with people who couldn't return or repay it, or dissonance from seeing things through their eyes. Funny, that.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?" A: yes

huh, the entire alberta energy grid was free for 16 hours yesterday wind power was overproducing, so it just... goes to zero apparently

Incredible.

I’m gonna start a cooking show where I make recipes I’ve never tried. I’m gonna call it 30 Minutes My Ass.

The whole administration in one quote

Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated $70 million to the UNCF, the largest private provider of scholarships to minority students.

Fun fact: GWAR spoke out against the defunding of orgs like PBS. Lead singer Mike Bishop, who holds a PhD in music, stopped in the middle of a show to point out that defunding public institutions is horrible and said it'd lead to worse. Dude was not wrong.

A LOT of these guys joined ICE, etc., specifically to beat the shit out of immigrants and protesters. And statistics tell us anyone willing to behave this way in front of witnesses and news cameras has probably beaten domestic partners too.

Reminded of that post about "figure out who's advertising on your local Sinclair channel, and write them a letter telling them you're boycotting them and why" for some reason.

The usual NYT headline writer is gagged and zip-tied in a closet somewhere.

Public service announcement: Please do not wear your full-sized backpack into the mosh pit. Thank you.

we should wrap ourselves in the flag while defending trans rights. it says in our founding documents that we are all equal and to say that any of us are not goes up against what america is supposed to stand for. real patriots support trans rights. otherwise you're unamerican.

'state Supreme Court Justice “War Horse Bill” White, responding to a federal judge’s criticism of a 1905 pro-union ruling, admitted that the ruling was probably incorrect under formalist precedents before declaring that Washington state would “stay wrong.” '
