does anyone have a pdf of the 1999 Scottish Labour manifesto? I cannot for the life of me find it online.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Zohran Mamdani wins New York City mayor’s race.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

oh man. oh boy!

so happy to *officially* share that I have been awarded an APSA DDRIG this year! I'm thrilled and honored to be a part of this cohort and very excited to get started on some field work in the UK soon.

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

A little moment in my newest James Gunn interview www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

good thing I'm writing my dissertation (in part) about this

Look I made a babka

"“We all know better. You have to have consent for this,” said a Keck physician who...declined to be identified out of fear of losing their job, said the Navy facility “wasn’t designed or developed to save lives. It was just to desensitize people to the trauma.”"

Anyway I really liked Doja Cat’s VIE which came out last week

i was a contractor with the Dept of State during this. It sucked. I, like many others, never got backpay. Many of the people most affected are people who can't afford to lose a day, a week, a month of pay. It's not the bureaucrats. It's the contractors who clean and maintain the facilities.

Go Red Sox.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

It’s an hour and a half outside of Dallas and costs $200,000 itself

“My biggest issue is the fact that Substack insists on actively supporting leading far-right activists and propagandists like Christopher Rufo, Curtis Yarvin, and Richard Hanania – not only platforming, but actively promoting them as important thinkers.”

Plaid Cymru and Reform are diametrically opposed both on the national question and on the left-right axis and it is no wonder therefore that as Labour and Tory support collapses voters are polarising to the extremes ✍️Jonathan Edwards wp.me/p8Mk4U-16e9

@karenattiah.bsky.social's should get as much attention as Kimmel's and is easily as important.

Made challah and then made it everyone’s problem. L’shana tovah!

NEW — I wrote about my confirmed scoop from last night that Disney hastened Kimmel's return because of a planned Disney+ streaming price increase announcement coming on Tuesday:

Can’t say this feels like a good incentive to bring back all the people who just cancelled their subscriptions lmao

ESPN is showing ICE recruiting ads?

Carlos Sainz getting front row in Baku is my longest yeah boy ever

@congressmannion.bsky.social you cannot be serious.

Interesting

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Yikes

I wonder if there's someone who might be able to prevent him from having his way on this. I can't think of anyone at the moment. Maybe it'll come to me

“She is the great-great granddaughter of Samantha Parkington, one of American Girl’s original dolls.” 🥹

The Republican reaction to Kirk’s murder has been a campaign of state repression that ends with Trumpist toadies deciding what Americans are allowed to think, do and say. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

Every year I watch the Emmys and say “I heard that was really good” about just about everything and then I don’t watch any of those things

haha yayyyyyyyy

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

I’m not sure what saying “things are about to get much worse” serves. It’s true but it’s also sort of always true when you’re in the midst of constant escalation. Things will keep getting much worse and I cling to the hope that maybe one day they will get much better.

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot
