Hey remember a couple months ago when I almost died from sleep apnea and begged y'all to be checked if you have symptoms of sleep apnea? Eric Bauza just died from sleep apnea. We were the same age. Don't ignore sleep apnea.

Between this and Ramaswamy, I think the GOP has lost touch with reality so much they're just making ads for Dems now.

From parent signal chat, it appears it was a bomb threat, and very possibly swatting

The same guy who endorsed tafoya in the strib today wrote that "70 percent of the teams in the NBA could fold tomorrow and nobody would notice a difference with the possible exception of increase in street crime." He's considered a moderate.

Something a lot of people don't understand is that law firms are *owned* by the partners. He is not an employee of Jones Day, he is a part-owner of Jones Day. It is fully legitimate to blame him for the decisions the firm makes; he helps make them.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

what's killing me about the cheesecake factory discourse is that Obama didn't even say the cheesecake is bad, he said it looks crazy in there and it does. even if you like the food, it does in fact look fucking crazy in there

It was always a qualifying run! I say this as someone who saw it in a theater!

hold up

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

our system is set up to favor the major parties we have to push out ken martin and all the democrats who want it to be the party that will throw trans people under the bus and defend israel’s genocide and continue to fuck over working people

One of the most effective things Obama could do for the party is let it rip like this all year long. He's so good, but he saves it for rallies a few weeks before elections like it's a severely-limited resource and that's just not how the modern communications environment has evolved.

Is 2019 the only year we've had an election off in Minneapolis since 2015? Mad at Phyllis Kahn all over again today.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

This makes me so fucking mad.

this is all fun and games until your neighborhood becomes full of international incidents

The Floor of our Imagination. My thoughts on how to think about the ad in the Ohio governor's race: johnfdickerson.substack.com/p/the-floor-...

Netflix is gonna be an animation slop house.

Lovely colors this morning.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Extremely interesting piece from @cip.uw.edu at the University of Washington. Long story short, they identify the Alt National Park Service as a key amplifier of conspiratorial misinformation about a "mail dumping" news story last month.

Minneapolis: I still have a dream of making Spanish for Community Safety lessons a thing, but I also feel a real need to take *intensive* Spanish lessons bc I can’t bear to do another surge with my nonexistent skills. Any leads where $ would go to folks at least adjacent to vulnerable communities?

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

The blood letting in Minneapolis City offices has begun. Just a couple fewer police lawsuits could have saved these jobs. The MPD are defunding the city. #ACAB

i think it would be great with the holiday season right around the corner if we skipped the "how to avoid talking about politics with your kooky uncle" articles and got a bunch of more useful "how to talk to older family members about setting a family codeword in case of phishing attempts" articles

Call Hakeem Jeffries’ office and ream out whichever loser answers the phone.

You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

rly thought they were gonna cut ramaswamy loose for what is the ugliest ploy in politics in my memory! but instead they’re making it their party platform. literally the party of abuse and rape. i know writers who use subtext and they’re cowards

I got curious about it, so here are the ages at which the previous Bond actors played him (using release dates): Connery: 32-41 (+53) Lazenby: 30 Moore: 45-57 Dalton: 41-43 Brosnan: 42-49 Craig: 38-53

Explains so many editorial decisions

I’m telling you that the extreme exposure to scams is a big part of the reason so many people are negative about our economic future.

i am on a plane sitting next to a lady who looks 40ish and has informed me that this is her first time flying she is visibly excited. she asked the flight attendant how much a soda costs and was happy to learn that drinks are free on airplanes. she's taking lots of pictures. i love this for her
