Mark Kelly notably declines to endorse Chuck Schumer as the leader of Senate Dems going forward

Yeah….time to call senators and demand Schumer’s removal. Him and Durbin. Hell, demand the two of them resign entirely from the senate so better replacements can be appointed by Hochul and Pritzker.

Kelly declining to endorse Schumer for continued leadership is, uh, something.

cc @schnorkles.bsky.social holy fuck

It's not a particularly BRIGHT strategy (anyone engaged enough to know Durbin is already retiring knows that Schumer's "no" vote is perfunctory) but you can see the "How do we 'do an unpopular must' but not lose all support?" forethought in it. (Still pretty dumb)

See, this from ThirdWay (literally "we invented centrism!") makes me think The Story here= 'strategy disagreement' more than 'Dems not afraid of base.' They're actually scared SH--LESS of the base now, but also (incorrectly) think "end shutdown" was a must, hence only "already gone" swordfall votes

The GOP does seem to be treating the healthcare cliff as a problem now, and I think you can firmly place that on election results from last Tuesday

2026 is *already* an anti-incumbency mini-wave just based on the number of retirees and non-runnings being the second highest since 2012. There will be more, and most actual primary challenges haven't announced yet. Most of this was already baked-in. You cannot out-run TIME.

this is pretty much only a 1990s thing, it is mostly gone by the late 2000s. the greed/business side is still there, not the liberalization fantasy.

I'm not too late to this right?? 💦 10 games to get to know me!!!

Okay so all love to Ahmed Best and the reappraisals of the Prequels but that's like... the WORST possible defense of Jar-Jar (and not surprised to see who it's from)

Unsurprising to me that a writer for the military industrial complex defending New York Times would publicly bash a film brave enough to suggest corruption in the US intelligence agencies, as Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever does.

Did Elon even know who Joyce Carol Oates WAS a week ago? ...does he know now?

Maxwells compliance with Trump also has to be viewed through the lens that Maxwell could reasonably assume that Trump ordered that Jeffrey Epstein be killed while he was in prison.

i am mad as shit about the democrats caving, have a very good memory, and if you quiz me on exactly what happened this week on election day 2026 i will get maybe 30% right

one of the weirdest things that people believe on a website where the collective mood changes every thirty-six hours is that events completely unknown to 60% of the population, where 90% have the facts wrong, will have persistent effects eighteen months later

Yea on one hand people will call this cope, on the other hand when was the last time you thought about (just for example) Charlie Kirk?

If I had money... I would have saved Muhammad as quickly as possible! This isn't just a wish; it's a cry of helplessness that tears me apart! I stand here, money out of my hands, but Muhammad's heart and soul hang suspended between life and death, waiting.

This is cute and all... but shouldn't Bryan Danielson be insisting that Tofurky be served instead?

Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

Seriously, are AIBros hard-wired to make their hobby as creepy as possible?! #FizzVsGaming

They held the line for more than three years. Three fucking years. Incredible.

There is a very good reason these losers are lonley

i've said it before and i'll say it again: joyce carol oates is the main boss of twitter. our finest posters have done some of their best work going after elon, but it's never rattled him like this. she got to him on a molecular level.

Of course Elon Musk has zero media literacy... If he did, he would've realized that basing the Cybertruck after the DeLorean was a dumb idea since in the context of Back To The Future, IT'S A FUCKING PUNCHLINE

If the Twitter/X meltdown over Eurogamer's Arc Raiders review contains anything useful, it's a reminder that the average scroller does not think that hard about things outside themselves.

Whatever production time and cost was "saved" by using AI for one of the most human-dependent disciplines in game making was actively obliterated by the act itself, overshadowing the hard work of every single other developer on the project and making this situation impossible to right. WHO KNEW.

This feature is so infuriating for the extra angle that Youtube is proving that they absolutely have the tech for multiple audio tracks, like a lot of people have been begging for forever; but it’s used for a purpose that I have not seen work once in a pleasing way. Every one of these AI dubs sucks.

You can't be getting a spinoff like that, white baby. (Jokes aside: American Vandal was very funny, good creative team with this specific character, I think) www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/s...

JCO is proof that you can in fact be uncancellable. She'll post problematic or cringe opinions and ppl will denounce her, but then she'll drop an atom bomb, usually on Elon or Rowling etc, and thusly she has remained a beloved poasters' mascot

one of the biggest contributors to Elon’s loser energy is that he desperately wants to be cool, but doesn’t understand that a big part of being cool is appearing unaffected. he’s one of the most affected men of all time.

I think the thing that really made the Joyce Carol Oates tweet sting so bad is that it's a nerd power fantasy, this devasting, eloquent putdown that hurts worse than anything a bully can physically do to you, and that's the kind of thing he thinks he's supposed to be doing

the president of the united states, for some reason apparently:

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Again... The systemic damage that the conflating of age with wisdom has done to this country is incalculable...

Allow me to answer this as someone who loves this movie deeply: No…it is in no way underrated.

God I want to see a million “Dems demanding new leadership” articles today, I want it to be a narrative Schumer can’t escape

Kim Davis has been fighting to overturn gay marriage for years. She’s been fighting to be absolved of denying a marriage license to a gay couple Today she lost her last shot at an appeal. The Supreme Court denied her request to hear her case and ordered her to pay $360,000!

it's definitely going to happen in the next 18 months

they're 100% doing this so that he dies happy, the minute he's gone they're gonna turn their backs on him and posthumously throw him under the bus

wild how many brown nosing sycophants this old mf is surrounded by, all because he's so easily fuckin swayed by them blowing smoke up his ass, zero awareness despite how over the top this horseshit is that they're just using him for their own gain, makes me wonder if kings were this stupid

have they started bringing a Designated Successor around yet to collect some of this shine ahead of the inevitable or is this just a buncha pals doing something nice for their bestest friend

every single week they're throwing this guy a special oval office love-in that appears to be the presidential equivalent of letting your dog scarf an entire big mac and fries before that last trip to the vet

Considering how their relationship with Tencent fell out, I wouldn't be surprised if this was an act of bureaucratic spite against Blizzard specifically...
