Hey guys, here’s a little something I wrote:

"These actions constitute an illegal one-person boycott that infringes on our client Elon Musk's constitutional right to free speech, as well as his right to monetize that speech in several ways, and has caused him irreparable harm." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/x-s...

53 is the new 20 when it comes to sending a photo of grampaw’s wrinkly old trouser weasel to a lady who didn’t ask for it.

You’d think having five women accuse you of rape, in addition to the one you defamed AND your now-deceased ex-wife, would encourage people to not vote for you. Instead it just makes the rest of us never want to be alone in the company of Trump supporters. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

miamiherald.comTrump-Epstein ties covered up, House Democrats allege; want special counselDonald Trump was “an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s,” according to the report.

While I never sent a single fundraising text, or gave/sold a list of people who donated to me to anyone (and yes, people have asked)—I’m sure ActBlue has sold my donor list to everyone on the planet, and for that I apologize.

NEW: We asked readers if they've been drowning in political texts, calls, mailers and TV ads, and to share pics of what they're getting. Hooo boy, did we get responses! Some fumed its been "harassment." Some won't donate to Dem campaigns ever again. www.huffpost.com/entry/voters...

Unless you count the offered OAN bad faith interview that would have gotten me death threats. The local NPR station offered an apology saying if they talked to a candidate running for office it would appear partisan, although nobody had a problem giving the incumbent free airtime for his fascism.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Pete Hegseth’s mom excoriated him, and she never became a fugitive from justice with a child rapist AFAIK. I think Trump just loves child rapists.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

It’s important to note that Tennessee is one of the few states that doesn’t mandate a paper ballot, so a machine could flip your vote after you cast it and NOBODY WOULD KNOW.

Senator Heidi Campbell@campbell4tn.bsky.social

I've received multiple calls and texts from people who tell me their bites were flipping from @Jerri_M_Green to Blackburn. The response that there are multiple control factors is unacceptable. This is an election in the USA- this should not be happening!l www.newsweek.com/stella-parto...

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

This, of course, is the same thing Guilfoyle just got canned for. Nothing will happen to Habba, of course. Not even a referral for disbarment.

The thing people don’t seem to understand is that one-year-old Kohen Wiley had, only the day before, whistled at a white woman.

Mississippi Free Press@mississippifreepress.org

The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office announced on Monday. buff.ly/EqW7n8c

This will also happen if we just nationalize SpaceX and won’t be some weird CEO bullshit.

CNN@cnn.com

Elon Musk has said he will give every child in America a stake in SpaceX, his $2 trillion aerospace and artificial intelligence company, as tech firms face intensifying scrutiny over their impact on society. https://cnn.it/4yWTjTJ

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.

One thing that isn’t noted here is that in 2022 the first week of early voting only had *one* location open. Versus the 15 that are open this year.

The funny thing is you can achieve the same thing Business Godsmack suggested vis a vis serotonin by simply bringing your wife to orgasm, but he wouldn’t be capable of that, obviously.

A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social

Business Godsmack recently suggested, on stage, to approving laughter, that husbands dope their wives with unregulated-market serotonin to prevent divorce.

Generally speaking, announcing that you’re staying on / going back to Twitter predates the announcement that you’re leaving liberal society by about six months. See: Taylor Lorenz
