Reagan talked about welfare queens in Cadillacs, Trump talks about Somalian thieves in Mercedes Benzes, because being *real* racist has been a core strategy Republican politicians for a very long time, even if prior to Trump a lot of folks who should have known better enjoyed pretending otherwise.
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."
Was the last out of a World Series game ever overturned, @slangsonsports.bsky.social? Small sample size, I know. Just curious.
I'm confused, @starshiptim.com and @jrmariner77.bsky.social: What's this thing both Rays and Brewers hitters do where they hit the ball and it lands on the outfield grass and then they go stand on a base? As a Mariners fan, I don't get it. But it seems kinda fun.

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.
Trump: "You know, the first question -- they have a lion, a snake, a giraffe, and a bear. And they say 'which is the snake?' ... by the time you get to number five a lot of people are left out on the road ... I get no credit for it."

Glad to see more Democrats recognizing that if Elon Musk donates to your opponent, it is an absolute *gift* to you as long as you draw attention. He's a deeply unpopular, dorky white supremacist asshole who's using his billions to try and buy off politicians. Light. Him. Up.
Elon Musk just poured half a million dollars into this race to try to keep his puppet Mike Lawler in office, just like he did back in 2024. But the Hudson Valley can’t be bought. Mike Lawler has sold out to his trillionaire and corporate backers at our expense —

We'll see if NYT says anything or if they keep their head in the sand.
Something is off with Trump tonight. The gaffes, the glitches, the confusion are well beyond his usual. "They gave the wonderful peace prize, right? Does anybody know the name of that peace prize? They gave the Pulitzer Prize to a young lady."

Jon Husted's ass is now a regular part of Trump's routine. Doesn't matter what state he is in. Ohio. Kentucky. North Carolina. Jon Husted's ass is always on his mind.
Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

Hear us out: The richest person in the world should not be allowed to dump hundreds of millions to affect the midterm elections. This is not a radical idea. We need campaign finance reform.

“Donald Trump’s treachery was predictable and predicted. Even so, watching him throwing a financial lifeline to Putin as the monstrous mob boss murders Ukrainians is sick-making stuff. The president’s “October Suprise” was a stab in the back.” charliesykes.substack.com/p/russia-rus...

60 Minutes: "It's a kind of interference Utah Lt. Gov...a Republican in a deeply red state, said she's never seen before. 'In the past two elections that I oversaw as lieutenant governor, the threats were all external...But now we also have threats coming from within our own government.' she said."

Nobody hates free speech more than the fascist tech oligarchs who claimed to care about it more than anyone. What an absolute joke. P.S. they also hate democracy. As we hand them control of the country. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

He's not wrong. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece but it's powerful. It's also a tough movie to recommend. I'm curious if it'll have an afterlife like Stanley Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/o...

I love the cultural tidbits in old movies, as in: "Listen, there’s a swell picture at the Fordham tonight: Al Jolson. All talking, all singing, all weeping. I’ll blow ya." Yeah, it used to mean "to treat." eriklundegaard.com/item/movie-r...
