I love that Rubio is championing Achilles today. He probably forgot the story of his teen years where he was in hiding and was so femme he passed as girl until the age of 19. Achilles Discovered Amongst the Daughters of Lycodemes - Peter Paul Rubens (1635)

GLOBAL LIBERAL REVOLUTION

Check out how easy this is.

RETVRN TO PANERA BREAD DISCOURSE

60% of Americans live Cheesecake Factory to Cheesecake Factory.

The reason we keep hearing about desperate schemes to boost Republican chances in the midterms—Announce we're buying Russian diesel! Sue to preemptively reject a Democratic victory in Alaska!—is because they don't have a secret plan that will overturn a midterm loss, not because they do.

We really don't need to worry about this one. Even in the unlikely event that this happens, the Democratic nominee for governor seems to be highly favored to win, and he would just appoint Peltola to the empty seat.

we need to really get away from this stupid commune-brain bullshit. replace “care for each other in ways the state cannot” with “let some HOA-ass group of neighborhood busybodies determine what social services are available to you.” conservatives LOVE this shit

The idea that AirBnb/VRBO etc is "more expensive than hotels" is driven entirely by lonely people who only travel to major cities for work conferences.

Today marks 2 years since I started HRT. 2 years since Ken Paxton and the rest of the Texas GOP lost the control they had over my life and I was finally allowed to be myself. I’m proud to say that I voted against my attempted killer today. Fuck you, Ken.

I honestly think that some people in Democratic politics think they can scandal themselves into the White House like some sort of woke Nate Paul.

Just voted in Westlake, TX at a location that's usually empty. Decent line to vote today. Anti-trump protesters lining Bee Cave Rd. Poll workers said it's been BUSY for three straight days. Something's happening.

Those who would trade Glonzo for security will have neither.

I was in the 2020 Denver protests, and lots of us steered clear of the edgelords, and got totally validated when one of them turned out to be a Fed informant.

After November 3, the Republican Party will release an autopsy report and the administration will deport whoever wrote it to Sudan.

Maybe Texans should vote to end Ken Paxton's plans instead

I am begging our trans friends who are still on the fence this fall to remember what we are up against. If Talarico loses the narrative won't be "he wasn't a strong enough ally to trans people and he suffered from it". It will be something infinitely darker and much more dangerous.

"If we just do this one thing the economy will crash and we'll get what we want" No, you won't do it. No, it won't crash the economy. No, y'all won't get what you want. Eschew magical thinking, embrace the slow drag of incrementalism, the Only Thing That Has Ever Done Anything.

I think it’s time to post The Flag again

Woke comes for the National Review

Following every restaurant critic on Bluesky so I can reply to their articles with my disdain for restaurants and the superiority of my mealprep routine.

Alex is right, y'all are being unfair. Having a Tesla that can drive off of a cliff safely is actually an important add on for the Full Self-Driving package.

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Trump II absolutely is a generational national trauma and it makes perfect sense that the (increasingly small) group of people who love everything Trump is doing can't see it that way.

I have no problem saying things on here that get me yelled at, so I'll just say it: I think the demonization of "well, actually" is itself a corrosive plague on society. If I'm wrong, tell me I'm wrong. We decided at some point that it's gauche to correct people for being factually incorrect. Why?

Keep hitting those datacenters, Ukraine. Slava!

Even if you think 141 acres of the urban core should be consumed by a golf course, you should at least acknowledge the tradeoffs. This shit ain't free. www.austinpolitics.net/how-much-doe...

"NOT IN OUR TOWN!" Brave woman speaks truth to power, calling out Camarillo tire shop for servicing ICE goons vehicles. Watch her defend the community!

1/ Restoring Yandex's damaged data centres will take at least six months and cost billions. Disruption is already severe; Russian manufacturers and distributors face imminent disaster due to Ukraine's strikes causing the collapse of the state-operated goods tracking system. ⬇️

Here are the details: literally any time, any place, any network.

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.

Going into the midterms with this energy 💙

We love Susan! 💚💚💚 Not all hero’s wear capes some wear Primus shirts!

There's plenty the Democrats get wrong, and it's worth calling them out over it. It's also best not to pair your criticism with an attitude that makes people instantly dismiss that criticism. Politicians follow the base. If you aren't voting Dem in the general, you are just not the base. Sorry.

Because Republicans have a trifecta. Every left of center person who found a reason to not vote for Kamala is directly responsible for this. It's almost like who's in charge like matters or something, idk

WHY IS THE USA INCAPABLE OF REMOVING AN OBVIOUSLY INSANE AND INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT?

If you’re a Zoomer, you might mythologize the glory of the 90’s If you’re Gen X you might mythologize the glory of the 50’s. What both of those times had in common? Much higher taxes on the wealthy. Let’s make the 2020’s the golden era our kids mythologize.
