She/Her. I have strong opinions about (but not limited to) the NFL, NBA (Go Warriors), television, classic films (1930s-1960s), Star Wars, and the MCU (specifically Tony Stark, Loki and James 'Bucky' Barnes).

Mayor Mamdani and Councilmember Kayla Santosuosso visited the New York Aquarium to meet some seals and celebrate the impact of the administration’s $2 million investment in the aquarium.

Good Lord. We have to be nearing his end? RIGHT??? I don't know what the Hell Bill Maher did, but HBO Max is low rated, there are between 20,000 and 1,000,000 illegal voters in California, and the United States would be dead without them. And Congress is doing nothing to stop this madman?!

LOL. I just saw a GOP commercial depicting Michigan as a dystopian Hellhole (it's not) and it's because Jocelyn Benson - the current Secretary of State - is in charge. 🤣

Increasingly think about this. And if you have the stomach to listen to him, he sounds like his battery is under 10 percent.

Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

Cheesecake Factory is catching strays today and it's really thanks to the GOP, which can't comprehend insults that rise above a petulant 5 year old butchering names. Also, CF should embrace this as Arby's did when Jon Stewart made Arby's the butt of jokes during his original TDS run. 😁

Obama: Trump is like Saddam Hussein. Every Republican in unison: He said WHAT about the Cheesecake Factory???!!

Yeah, a song I listened to countless times (I was a Bryan Adams fan back in the day) I never envisioned would end up here. 😂

New SEC filings show that Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to pay California’s billionaire tax without losing control of Meta. So billionaires can afford to pay the tax? And they won't lose control of their companies or flee the state? Don’t fall for billionaires’ propaganda. Vote YES on Prop 40.

I know not everyone follows politics all that closely so I will note that Republicans do not typically need to send a bunch of emergency cash to senate races in Mississippi bsky.app/profile/jame...

James Downie@jamescdownie.bsky.social

"Senate Republicans are weighing...a cash infusion for Mississippi and even more money for South Carolina and Kansas." "Democratic challengers are polling within the margin of error in more than half a dozen deep-red states, according to internal GOP polls."

A lot of the time, comments on the internet are horrible, but the folks who responded to that not well considered headline - BLESS YOU. 😂

As someone who has two silent letters in their last name and has had to, on occassion, spell out my name 4 times.....no, you're the one who is dumb.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "It's so dumb. You take the E out, you replace it with a U. And most people don't know that 'dumb' has a B, so we throw that out too."

IDK if Jalen Brunson thanking the fans for not leaving during game 4 was referring to the way they played or Trump being in the building, but I'm choosing to go with taking a swipe at Trump.

He really believes it's his house and he's never leaving.

President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

Yeaaahhhh, this is another thing that is not going to go as they planned. 😆

Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"

Democrats are preparing to investigate Musk if they win control of the House in November, Politico reports. Potential probes would focus on his DOGE leadership, federal job cuts, alleged data breaches, government contracts and Starlink’s role in Ukraine.

With the election looming, the GOP is calling in the big guns. Which means having a megachurch freak named Timmy dispatch an army of walleyed 23yo home-school casualties with YouTube diction to opposing candidates' rallies, where they will demand those candidates reject and denounce the WNBA.

Yes, I want well qualified elected officials who try to fulfill campaign promises and work to make my life better, but on a superficial level I also support more jacked hot dudes in Congress. 😁

so the thing about El-Sayed's comma team is they understand his appeal. they're not trying to emulate the 'i'm your smiling Sesame Street mayor" that worked so well for Mamdani. because Mamdani *IS* a smiling Sesame Street mayor. El-Sayed is a jacked hot dude who has real swagger

There really is no bottom for the GOP. Vivek Ramaswamy is using the childhood sexual abuse his opponent suffered against her and using her estranged mother to go after her. Also, the mom can rot in Hell beside him.

There's some really abysmal football being played this season. Leaning towards ownership and coaching being at fault.

Even Democrats can be guilty of hyperbole, but I've read about Musk buying up farmland and trying to buy state parks in Texas for his data centers and Space X expansion and what Talarico is saying is 100% true.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Every Congressperson allowing these senile, deranged, narcissistic criminal to stay in office one more day should be tried for crimes against humanity, not just the destruction he's doing to this country.

I am late to this post from Trump, but my goodness.

Anyone else reading about the WTF Jalen Hurts blood clot story and wondering when Pablo Torre will be reporting in it?

The thing about Jan Crawford’s “diatribe” and CNN’s “heated” is, we all could see the whole exchange with our own eyes, but it suggests they’ve fucked up a lot of coverage of things we couldn’t see.

This is a really striking tweet.

The Devils, a 1971 film, was No. 11 at the box office. You Can See Everything, a documentary, was No. 2. Major studio executives:

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Watch Tommy think he's going to pull a gotcha and get completely owned. 😆

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Heated Rivalry S1 is apparently coming to theaters. Eps being screened in pairs. A Redditor spotted this on the AMC website. I checked my local theater chain and, yep, they have a Nov 6 date. No info on if one day/limited release or pricing. Would I want to watch this with a crowd of strangers? 😆

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Please no one tell him they don't cover state crimes.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump suggests he is going to pardon everyone, including himself: "I'm allowed to do a self-pardon ... I don't want to see people that work for me go through years of nonsense"

2/2 Still believe Elizabeth Holmes is guilty and deserves prison. But I also believe she believes she did nothing wrong. And her husband is a narcissistic, sociopathic, asshole. The film even addresses she needs to be freed from him (there's an awesome, spoilery moment). I really feel for the kids.

You Can See Everything. more than lives up to the hype. One of the best films I've seen this year. I dare say it's brilliant, but also problematic, if you label it just a documentary. Lines are crossed between reality & fiction. To the point of wondering what Oscar categories it's eligible for. 1/2

I hate the racism and Islamophobia constantly on display, but it's hilarious watching this dipshit and the entire GOP act like the country's future depends on who wins ONE US Senate seat. Who knew Michigan was so all powerful?

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Trump: "His name is Abdul, but I call him Mohammad Abdul El-Sayed. He's a Muslim Brotherhood guy 100%."

Whoa. You Can See Everything showings are filling up through the weekend. Even 10:30am show times. The theater I frequent even added two showings for today. Looking forward to people analyzing how this is (seemingly) a surprise hit vs the surprise bombing of Digger.

Had lunch today with a moderate to liberal friend (depending on the topic) who has a conservative wife (they've argued over politics). He said she's voting for Abdul El-Sayed and doesn't understand why everyone isn't voting for him because he's talking about what everyone wants.

Illegal. But I'd take the card and follow up by telling her I dropped off my ballot this morning and voted for Abdul El-Sayed.

So we are warring with Iran And Russia is supplying weaponry to Iran. And we are paying Russia to send us diesel fuel. Because we are warring with Iran the ships with the diesel can't get to us. So we are buying it from Russia, which... Yeah, this is some three-dimensional chess right here.
