There is an international, well-connected network of fascists promoting far-right candidates in elections (and coups) across the world. The guy who owns the site Yglesias posted this on is one of their leaders. Be careful of people advocating for their opponents to disarm!

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy

This is powerful essay written in plain talk, with citations and hearts on its sleeve. No metrics make cutting the Humanities make sense, just ask the CEOs in the actual corporate world.

"The whole “Oh no, our models went rogue” thing … When a bridge collapses, you don’t analyze whether the bridge was ethical or sentient or why it decided to collapse. You ask, who is the person who built this bridge to be so flimsy?" www.wired.com/story/one-of...

No fucking shit buddy. This is what we were trying to tell you.

Who is Hasan Piker and why should I care? I’m supposed to not notice the entire GOP and SCOTUS covering up for a rapey president destroying democracy and the rule of law and engaging in scams and war crimes because of some rando I’ve never heard of with a podcast?

Rest in Power Queen

@gailsimone.bsky.social Do you have any plans for another Red Sonya novel? I loved your take on the character.

What was that about “makers” and “takers”?

The American president and the dumbest motherfucker on Earth should be two different people.

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

He destroys everything he touches

The switch to a Hans Zimmer score over needle drops on The Bear was a tragic mistake.

apparently in texas, paxton’s campaign is dunking on talarico by …giving out free tacos with talarico’s name on them, courtesy of “radical texas dot com”? whose idea was this, lol.

hey Phoebe Bridgers come talk about the Middle Ages and elf culture!

hey it's anti-Prime day on @bookshop.org!!! Why not grab a copy of me & @lollardfish.bsky.social's THE BRIGHT AGES? @bostonglobe.com called it "Incandescent and ultimately intoxicating." #medievalsky bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Mamdani single-handedly ended the Trump curse.

Knicks fans thought the team had overcome James Dolan. He had learned something important, or at least become disengaged. BUT YOU CANNOT KILL A BLUES MAN!!

#LordOfTheRings fans, this is in the Salvation Army charity shop next to Tesco Extra on the outskirts of Shrewsbury..

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

The top line outrage here is so astounding that it bears repeating: Trump is using the powers of his office to settle not just political but private scores against someone adjudged by juries to be a victim of his sexual abuse and defamatory attacks. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

I know there is a laundry list of issue, but this is sum bullshit

Then I guess it's not a financially sustainable organization. They'll have to close some locations or shorten their hours. Alternatively, we could end the public navy and let private navies provide this service.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.
