This is fun!

NY area trans actors, this is your shot!

Proofreading is not a dead art, but it seems to be a bit dozy here at the national pubic radio.

Happy anniversary to the greatest exchange on #StarWars Twitter of all time.

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

MrBeast Is Opening A Theme Park In Saudi Arabia This Month

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

I can hear this image and it sounds amazing. (best stage theme in the series IMO)

For DECADES, trans people have been able to carry documents that match their gender identity. The Supreme Court’s decision to allow the Trump administration to limit passport sex markers for transgender and nonbinary Americans is discriminatory, dangerous, and demeaning.

"without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." This is flatly false! Trans people with a passport that does not match with their plain appearance when presented to a border agent is subject to additional hassle compared to a cis person presenting a passport.

BREAKING: GTA 6 has been delayed (again) until November 2026, Rockstar confirms

i'm so fucking mad dude

Zohran Mamdani will continue 'standing up' for transgender people as New York City mayor www.advocate.com/pol... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

The arc of a thrown sandwich bends towards justice.

This is an actual letter the EA CEO who now works for Saudi Arabia posted in 2020:

The Future Class was created in 2020 when a lot of companies responded to online critiques and broader social justice movements with DEI initiatives. Hard not to read part of the subtext here as the TGAs, like many other brands, trying to distance itself from "woke."

‘according to Walmart’ as if it’s a consumer research firm

A beautiful thing

If we go on strike, our union of 12,000 workers are calling on customers to NOT BUY STARBUCKS. Sign our pledge to not cross a picket line and we'll send you local calls to action - nocontractnocoffee.org

lol amazing headline

fun thread highlighting some interesting ways in which the landscape has changed since then:

Genocide and trans rights purity tests are good actually.

I'm glad Prop 50 passed. I don't fuck with Gavin Newsom. Find someone else.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

oh my god they actually did it lmao

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

at this point it’s kind of a behavioral tic

This man is your problem now, Istanbul

no one hates women like transphobes hate women. you wouldn’t go through life treating trans femmes like they’re using cheat codes if you believed cis women could actually just be better at stuff than a man

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

thrilled to have this piece from @reidmccarter.bsky.social on kotaku today interrogating how 2025's spate of historical fiction blockbusters all try to convincingly recreate the past, and what it means when games offer up their own visions of history. kotaku.com/ghost-yotei-...

this is so fuckin' funny dude

Our full election night stream from Brooklyn, packed with big-name guests, and great takes (!), is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BkE...

Vance et al adore the notion of schism. They misapprehend, at core, the entire notion of the Church

Let me translate this for you: “I am very rich and want that to make me the exception to the rule. I should be able to buy anything I want, including being recognized as a woman. I do not want to ’lower the bar’ to what defines a woman to be inclusive. I want my money to make me special.”

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

Exactly so. The rich, which you are not...the people who's yachts have yachts, can easily E A S I L Y afford to pay their fair share. They don't WANT to do that. Jeff Bezos takes vanity trips to 'space' while his workers rely on SNAP benefits Anything that erodes their power, they will fight

She's absolutely right. As a producer with several films in development with female directors, I can say it is an absolute uphill battle to get execs to fund their projects. Great scripts are sitting on shelves while a generation of our most talented women sit idle. www.avclub.com/kristen-stew...

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

hahaha jamaal bowman on zeteo last night when hasan walks into their live broadcast from the zohran party: "hey, hey, 'he won't condemn hasan piker!' remember that shit?" youtu.be/3BkEveJyXN0?...

For non-Jews/non-NYers: It's crucial to understand that Jews in NYC have always been treated as a uniform political bloc, and Jews who oppose Israel's policy toward Palestinians have always been treated as marginal/dismissable. A public breaking-off of 1/3 of NY Jews from that history is monumental.

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

Sentence of the moment: www.techdirt.com/2025/11/03/6...

If there's one immutable law about movies, it's that middle-class people get hot and bothered whenever there's a movie that the underclass really responds to. (1979)

Took me three images to get today’s Guess the Game which in retrospect I should have gotten in one. (First image pictured so this is not a spoiler, the third image is IMO a total giveaway if you know the game at all.)
