Amy Klobuchar running for Governor of Minnesota

@theonion.com is so worth the subscription for this

you have to be a real piece of shit to be a foreign vice president well-known enough to be loathed on sight

The mid-century illustrated design by Gerta and Alfred Haller. Scanned from Gebrauchsgraphik, 9, 1954 designreviewed.com/gebrauchsgra... #illustration #graphicdesign #midcentury

Mongolia and Haiti correctly identified that the Winter Olympics are primarily a chance to design baller cold weather uniforms

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

Every time I re-read Trump v. United States, it feels like getting hit in the head with a mallet.

Olympic gold medalist of pee typography no question

We are in the media market for Mejía’s upset win in New Jersey and I think she was the only candidate we *didn’t* see a ton of TV advertisements from (most were the anti-Malinowski AIPAC stuff, Malinowski, and Way)

hallo, I am hiring again! - SF Digital Services is looking for a new Engineering Director careers.sf.gov/role/?id=374... This reports directly to me, & I’m looking for a practical & flexible technical expert with excellent communication & coaching skills, who is excited to do both. More below...

USPS blue mailboxes are stamped with year of manufacture. This is one of the oldest ones I've seen in a while. I am lots of fun at parties.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

For people who say they’re still on X to “fight the good fight” etc - think it’s working?

"Twitter is cooking their brains" theory looking pretty strong

New in PN: Why Delia Ramirez thinks DHS needs to be dismantled "We have to ask ourselves, fundamentally, why would we ever want to give them more money to keep doing what they’re doing?"

Death Camp For Cutie over here

Looking forward to deploying "Sir, that doesn't matter to me at all" in conversation

birds from the marcel schurman company, n.d.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

One reason Minneapolis remains in the world's eye is we have one of the most robust & independent media ecosystems remaining in the country. You all need this...and more! @mprnews.org @startribune.com @sahanjournal.bsky.social @minnesotareformer.com @minnpost.bsky.social @racketmn.com etc.

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

“the scamble economy,” is this anything???

I’ve always said more popstars should duet with puppets, so Sabrina Carpenter and Kermit the Frog singing Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s ‘Island in a Stream’ as part of The Muppet Show’s latest special is perfect (to me). [instagram.com]

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

I moved from Substack to Ghost a while ago and can vouch for Ghost's ease of use, and I'm exceptionally lazy about these things. Just in case you need another datapoint for your persuasion campaign.

I have this thread of people migrating off substack to various alternatives that I add to as I find more examples; it also covers costs and what authors make

We're all we've got. Best to spend time figuring out how to live into this truth.

i will never stop thinking about the intersection of epstein and the shitty media men list

This is a good start from Democratic leadership with demands that would halt the regime’s terror campaign and protect our communities. But we need to know where Schumer and Jeffries stand on DHS funding levels. ICE and CBP are already flush with cash — what are Democrats going to do about that?

I'm sure this will be fine and it's good that people are trying things but the sequence of words "Gen Z led progressive content hub" is quite cursed

they're trying to be coy about salivating over the prospect of raping women, they'll contest that but if pushed to explain, that's exactly what they would describe. forced pregnancy of any kind, by a man or by the state, is gender-based violence

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

Read this whole astonishing document. it should be taught as an object lesson in what volunteering to assist a fascist government does to your mind, body, and soul.

Reuters: U.S. SUPREME COURT ALLOWS CALIFORNIA CONGRESSIONAL MAP INTENDED TO BENEFIT DEMOCRATS

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

New York Times is now the only real newspaper as such left in America. Grim for many reasons.

The story of 21st century America is that of millions of people being held hostage by the whims of a few deranged men and it uh sucks

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

Between the Washington Post and the Kennedy Center, it's been quite a week for storied DC-area institutions to be killed for no good reason.

I personally do not think some rich man should be able to buy an institution like this like a toy and then break it when he doesn’t want to play with it anymore. bsky.app/profile/benm...

This part of our response essay is where I'm at. Boiling down all of politics to electoralism has been absolutely terrible for resisting rising authoritarianism. www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

This is action EVERY city in the country can take. If your hotels cooperate with ICE, goodbye liquor revenue.

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month. Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

Already seated, listening to Garcia and now Sen. Blumenthal, are two of Renee Nicole Good's brothers, Luke and Brent Ganger. Blumenthal says Good and Alex Pretti, while here in spirit, "should be here in person, but they were murdered. They were murdered by their own government, in cold blood."

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

You know he was so proud of adding the "like" in there for "authenticity"

exactly. this is not difficult. as.ft.com/r/58ed1b23-d...

This watermark graffiti by street artist Mathieu Tremblin is, like, the best thing ever.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →
