begging the national dsa to be Normal

Peter Sterne@petersterne.com

NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions today aimed at Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, beginning processes that could result in DSA-LA being forced to rescind its endorsement of her this weekend and/or Raman herself being expelled from DSA by January.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Maybe a terribly obvious PSA from someone who was just right time/right place to hear the start of a potentially interesting conversation with someone who recently made some noise in LA politics… be careful what you say in public, like, always

mine is one? zero? How does this work. I have met Barack Obama

Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net

To flip some discourse script for a bit: what’s y’all’s Obama number (ie degrees of separation with the former president)? Mine is 3

If I had less shame I would have asked to just buy the bucket, but the dipping sauces are an integral part of the getup

oof, looks like Klara and the Sun is flopping critically. I’m sure there are a number of reasons why Taika has dropped off as a director these past few years but it still bums me out

proposed classic LA experience: driving home in complete silence and full-on bursting into tears right as you merge onto the 5 because you start to think that the expression of love through art despite everything might be the only thing in the world that matters. Anyway, I have seen La Bola Negra

this is not a knock on the concept of subtitles but what a privilege it is to know more than one language and be able to devote your full attention to the emotions on these actors’ faces, especially with Guitarricadelafuente. also I didn’t know Julio Torres was in it! a nice surprise

I’m seated for a showing of You Can See Everything in a full theater and I’m ready to not be the same person afterwards

RANDOM POSTER WHOSE OPINION I HAVE NO REASON TO TRUST: A result like this in NV-03 would be seismic. That’s deep Blortles country. It was Vinkum +8 in ‘24 ME DURING ELECTION SEASON: totally. i just need to look at 9000 more of these

I had never been to a playoff game before so I bought cheap last minute tickets to watch the Dodgers lose tonight; I didn’t have my gear at work so I had to borrow a jersey etc from colleagues. Please appreciate the hat

Latest Taskmaster instagram post heavily implies that they are doing a show at the Hollywood Bowl and if true I might perish

guy who feels like he could fight god because the class instructor called his Bulgarian split squat form perfect even though it was his first time attempting them! it’s me, I’m guy! 😤

I went to an upper body focused class and I found out something very important: i do not have any upper body strength

can’t bisexuals get one (1) normal bit of government representation

Trump on Jon Husted: "I don't do this with men very often. I started examining his body, because I didn't know he was a great athlete ... I looked at his ass"

Alex Amadeo reposted

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I am moved by the argument that Digger apparently has Dr. Strangelove energy but I’m still not going to see it for a simple reason: I don’t like Tom Cruise

Good evening, the western Massachusetts covid-conscious lesbian bar was a 24-month sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time

Separating the art from the artist (complimentary).

Celeste Headlee@celesteheadlee.bsky.social

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

forgot to check the price before I got to the pump, just paid $7 for gas 💀 do not ask me to go anywhere I can’t get to by metro

my birthday is this weekend and because I 1) have been away from home pet sitting essentially the entire month and 2) feel guilty about asking people to spend any money right now, I have not planned to do anything and now it’s too late and I’ve made myself sad about it (millennial lol)

made myself double sad by trying to cheer myself up. I haven’t visited my family for Christmas in eight years and with these flight prices that streak will be extended
