Amy Acton is so terrible that apparently even in the best case scenario I’ll have great trouble visiting my home in Ohio even if there’s somehow a Democratic sweep. I don’t want a place that doesn’t want me.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

1. In major news, the Ohio Dem Party has banned the Progressive Caucus from criticizing candidate for Gov. Amy Acton's transphobia. It has now applied more pressure to quiet criticism of anti-trans politics than it has on its own nominee to stop embracing them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

John Landis on the set of three amigos told Chevy Chase he was going to kill him and Chase responded “with what, there’s no helicopter here,” and that may be the only funny and good thing Chevy has ever said

AI detectors are mostly “we asked the AI if this was AI” with all the accuracy that implies

People I’m BEGGING you, STOP USING AI DETECTORS! They are just another AI and just as likely to be wrong!!!

Wow huge if true

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

The "defund the police" cost Democrats countless elections claim always sits awkwardly with the fact that peak "defund" activism was 2020, the year that Democrats won their first federal governing trifecta since 2008.

Internet discourse around Nolan is so funny it’s got people asking if he’s conservative or traditionalist or not whereas each movie is just him going “AAAAHHHHH I LOVE MY WIFE SO MUCH THE WORLD WOULD END WITHOUT HER I CANNOT IMAGINE A WORSE FATE THAN TO BE WIFELESS AAAAHHHH”

Holy shit! w

#OtD 19 Jul 1958 a group of Black students began a sit-in at the whites-only counter of Dockum's Drug Store in Wichita, Kansas, to protest segregation. After 23 days, the owner caved and desegregated all nine of his stores. More info here: stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9107...

The post-Trump MAGA civil war is going to be fought over whether they hate Muslims more or Jews more.

It’s important to remember to remember someone’s entire legacy, even if they pop like a balloon.

I think the smartest thing Mamdani does in terms of political optics is constantly tying himself to the past. He positions his policies as being within a heritage of helping people, in a way that seems comforting and sensible to people afraid of radical change-- but he doesn't water them down.

Whoa! This is actually a really good reason to boycott Substack, atop all the other reasons. *Alt text of image (always include alt!) is a screenshot of Andrew Tate's Substack link/page. Bafflingly, it says, "I use traditional social media to spread hope to the modern world."

I've often been critical about AEW's booking of women. But this has been a great week. I appreciate without reserve, the decision to have a week where both Dynamite and Collision are main evented by women. May we have more weeks like this. #AEWCollision #AEW #WrestleSky 🤼

As of today, Athena as ROH Women’s World Champion has reached 1,317 days. Officially surpassing the WWE Universal Championship reign of Roman Reigns 🔥 #AEW

Taco Bell was one of the first companies to sign the "Yes, we WILL only buy tomatoes from farms that stop doing slavery" pledge with Coalition of Immokalee Workers. @immokaleeworkers.bsky.social

like, I know people get mad when you say liberals prefer fascists to leftists but they keep saying it

A Democrat citing Fox News to attack leftists... what the fuck are we even doing here, man.

Yapping about how like a dozen DSA people are a grave threat to the economy and “our system of government” while Donald fucking Trump is in office is just delusional nonsense.

While I was in entomology class, I accidentally said "conservative" instead of "conservation" when talking about local orgs. The IMMEDIATE whiplash of myself & everyone in that room was hilarious. I recovered quickly, but like... it was obvious that everyone in that room felt the EXACT same way.

It's so difficult to get cis people to understand the jk Rowling thing isn't that she doesn't like us so you should punish her. It's if you give her franchise any kind of support you are contributing to trans people being excluded from society

IMAGINE HAVING A MAYOR THAT ACTED LIKE THEY ENJOY THEIR CITY #MamdaniEverywhere

the cheesy fiesta potatoes seem like a safe choice i am just saying

Look at this thread. This thread is amazing.

These people have spent generations destroying concepts that built the middle class, things like home ownership and retirement, so they can squeeze ever more money out of us. And then they wonder why we reject capitalism.

The wrong Home Alone 2 actor died

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

the degree to which they want to destroy one of the jewels of the American republic—our exceptional research universities—is just gobsmacking

Ice can not be reformed it must be destroyed.

OH MY FUCK THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT

The staff shared the news on Friday morning.

on this day in 1995, scientists discovered bisexuality. happy 31st birthday to all my fellow bs

Just 0.95% to 1.0% of the United States population aged 13 and older identifies as transgender. So, what is Trump's obsession with transgender folks ?

In other words, keep complaining when the coverage is bad! It's working. Even the Bari Weiss network acted nervous about airing the speech and buying into Trump's bullshit narrative.

This Aug. 4 primary election, the vote on the constitutional amendment is also a vote is for the future of Kansas—whether our court will remain fair and impartial or be beholden to billionaire interests. Make sure you make your voice heard on Aug 4.
