When v.1 of this hit in June, it was D+6 House and D+8 for a Senate tie. Now, it's D+5 House and D+6 Senate. Remember, in 2010 nobody expected the Republicans to shellac the Democrats until it happened. Go vote if you haven't done so! #NCpol

Carolina Forward@carolinaforward.bsky.social

Who will control the 2026 North Carolina state legislature - and what will the margins be? No one knows just yet - but now, you can see how the results of different races could change the balance of power in Raleigh. Try the new Legislature Simulator for yourself: carolinaforward.org/simulator/

This Eric Bauza tragedy has me shook. 46 and sudden heart failure is a huge warning sign. It's a bigger warning sign when the grandmother you never knew had her heart stop at 46. Or a cousin's spouse had his heart randomly stop at 46. Will my wife make it to 47? Will I even make it to 47?

To be fair, said grandmother had heart issues, wasn't a good person, and died in the early 70s and said cousin's spouse wasn't a good person and refused to use a CPAP he had on hand, but they still had ransom heart failure at 46. I'm shook.

This ad is insane and makes me wish I could make a career change to do similar for Democrats. Imagine if a Kamala-aligned PAC did ads saying "a Republican vote is a vote for Stephen Miller/Russ Vought and these guys are anti-American." She probably would have won.

josh boo-erman 👻@bosh.worstpossible.world

just saw this absolutely cracked ad during the michigan game about how thanks to aoc and ilhan omar, white people can't show their faces in public anymore

This was a national buy on the early window of NFL games on Fox. The same Fox that put the "They/Them" ad that sank Kamala in everyone's faces which she couldn't find a rebuttal to.

Annalise Skeeting@s404064.blacksky.app

The moment I turned on the TV in a swing state, I saw an ad of a woman hidden in shadows saying that liberals are violent and "I'm afraid to show my face because I'm white"

I am convinced that Steve Cohen hates Banana Ball because what other explanation can there be towards it now being the only MLB park to not host an event? Also, you want a performer, Jesse Cole? Have your people find Jose Iglasias' people. #Mets

Have opened two Wegmans before. Given how sedate and low-key openings are post-COVID and midweek, it would've been near unfathomable if they still did Sunday openings. The first locations in Virginia and Massachusetts had RVs in the lot and a line that started on Friday afternoon.

Janette Moser@mjmoser.bsky.social

As someone who thinks Wegmans is great but lives in a place where they're ubiquitous....this is absurd. It's still a grocery store at the end of the day.

The more I think about this, the more I don't know. Carter '80 would've meant no Reagan. McCain '08 would've meant MAGA never would've been. Even more if Hillary was the opponent. Biden losing 2020 would mean no J6 and no feckless holding the door open to fascism. How about you?

You can reverse one United States Presidential election over the last 50 years in which the popular vote and electoral college votes matched. Which one do you reverse?

Paralyzed Bobby. Infertile Jan and her international adoption. Drink (fake) Marcia and her crashout at the trauma center groundbreaking How was "The Bradys" ever a good idea?

It’s so good tthat “your childhood favorites have trauma now” exists far beyond our IP era. Decades before Riverdale there was an Archie TV movie based on a sad high school reunion; around the same time there was a Brady Bunch spinoff where one of the sons was a newly-paralyzed race car driver

But Cal Cunningham's texts. But Kay Hagan's beef with Randy Voller. Both are the Buttery Mails of North Carolina (Democratic) politics. #NcPol

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

Thom Tillis voted to confirm these people. Now he wants credit for telling us how terrible they are. And oh so conveniently, Thom Tillis has a new book to sell. Spare us.

The Eagles meltdown against the Rams was high comedy. After the high comedy of the Flyers getting blown out in their home opener. With the Phillies window slamming shut in between. May adding LeBron and JB backfire seriously for the Sixers. Annoyed Philly sports is the best Philly sports.

Wikipedia Brown@theycallhimbfg.blacksky.app

I may not be emotionally-invested in this team no more but I'm into it enough to laugh at Philly losing

I'm on that hopium of this being a reverse 2010 and @joshsteinnc.bsky.social getting the legislature he needs that can finally drag North Carolina forward but I feel like dragging horses who aren't thirsty to water. The ads for NCGA races being heavily to Republicans has me worried. #NCPol

Anderson Clayton ☀️@abreezeclayton.bsky.social

Imma need everyone in North Carolina to stay LOCKED tf in for the next 29 days of this election cycle!!!! All gas, no brakes, everyone still getting everyone you know plus the people you don’t out to vote like we are 20 points down.

If this is true, at least four known Democrats sat on their hands in the aftermaths than do something to prevent it.

After he’s dead, we’re gonna find out that the man who ruined our country was never actually elected, aren’t we?

Can the Red Sox rescind the deal they gave Chad Tracy? They should've waited until after the postseason to offer a deal. You know who never would fall short in this position? Aaron Boone but the Sox ditched their Boone (Cora) for nothing.

Has anyone lost friendships defending Kamala Harris, the most misunderstood Presidential candidate in United States history and the woman who would've saved America from collapse and woe? I have. Am I alone?

So now everyone gets the memo that Cornell is bad? Newsflash: Cornell was always bad. Their existence and having all the grants that should be with the SUNY schools drags down strong public universities in New York State. Those 7 wastes of life are the tip of the iceberg. I'm miles underneath.

How much it persisted into the 1990s gets swept under the rug.

Joe Rosales@joeartguy.bsky.social

I just want to mention that nobody born after 1990 grasps how much smoking there was in the 70s when I was a kid every time you see a bank of candy machines next to a restaurant’s entrance, know that was where a big cigarette machine was in 1974

What TV show that was popular enough in its original run to reach the rerun threshold ended up falling flat on its face and is forgotten today? I'll start: Evening Shade and Grace Under Fire. The standard for success in the 90s was weird.

1: This whole thing reminded me of the theme to "Passions." 2: Being Southeast Asian and a Democrat, Kamala is also Indian and Blue. This crosses all but Naps for Cleveland AL roles. Now I want a Napoleon, it'd be quiet Lajoie-able. *ba dum dum*

If I called @kamalaharris.com "My Guardian and Protector in This Life," that would be considered "crazy" and "unstable," right? And my odds of entering her inner circle would be nil, right? Why then does Natalie Harp get a free pass?

That cheer for "O Canada" in Orchard Park only illustrates the disconnect between the American people and actions they did not vote for.

Ironic since the vast majority of North Carolina's problems would be solved by getting Republicans out of legislative and judiciary power. Give the Dems even one part of the legislature and things will improve fast.

The Sgt Joker@thesgtjoker.bsky.social

It’s ironic that El Taco Gordo says North Carolina is one of the worst States when the MAGA Republicans have a Super Majority in the House and Senate, regularly overturn the Democratic Governor’s vetos, and own the NC Supreme Court.

Yeah, the depression your policies and decisions made. But...the price of eggs...and one older man's ill timed bad night...and She had a weird laugh...or dared to laugh or have happy feelings...or even be a She...or that something 5000+ miles away mattered more than anything domestic.

I am annoyed by the New England Patriots, the literal worst team in football. If you're reading this anytime before 11:30 PM EDT 9/10/26, this can be confirmed as true. Hyperbolic, but true!

Do I dare troll the middle aged Kamala hater who told me that "if you want to be like Charlie Kirk, go to the black part of town and say [Slur]" then blocked me on Facebook before I rebut? The same one whose Kamala hate is tied to Doug and who thirsts for OF models on Threads?

Same Has Been: "Stop talking about Jim Thornton, he's a friend and a professional and his dismissal is an unfortunate turn of events and we shouldn't say anything until Jim speaks publicly." This isn't how this works, announcer who shares a name with a porn actor who was probably less smarmy.

Old Hollywood Has Been: "The Strong Museum game show exhibit would've opened if the NEA grant wasn't gutted." Me: "It'd be open if Kamala won." Has Been: "I'll block you if you do this again and keep getting political." You dragged His name into this, you name dropper who embodies this meme.

Can Pennsylvania's senior Senator follow the lead of Kentucky's and vanish? The inevitable "Can't Find The Fetterman" parodies would be worth it.

I always caught a bad vibe about him that I couldn't place my finger on. And I read vibes perhaps too well. Also, who the hell spends 57 minutes with illegal content on plane wifi!?!? Wouldn't this be blocked and against the AUP one clicks to activate?

If decades were hockey games, and you consider the 2020s to have started 1/1/2020, today is puck drop for the third period. Will decency and kindness rebound after their meltdown during the middle of the second? Or will evil forces go five hole?

If being a decent person who looks out for others means I'm "backwards and poor," then call me backwards and poor. Were Obama, Biden, the Bushes, Clinton, and the 37 men prior this shielded from what was actually going on?

A devolution of Criminal Justice in New Jersey: Bruno Hauptmann: 18 months from being arrested for kidnapping the Lindbergh Baby to trial to execution. Sean Higgins: Killed Johnny & Matthew Gaudreau 2 years ago and it hasn't even reached a pre-trial state. Where have we gone wrong as a society?

If you put Hauptmann, who may have been innocent, in the here and now he would've maybe seen a trial by now given glacial justice. If Higgins killed the Gaudreau brothers with 1930s justice, he'd be dead already. I know New Jersey got rid of the death penalty but it's still embarrassing

Kamala needed to make this ad and puncture centrist and right wing spaces. Warning people about right wing wish lists doesn't do much when you're preaching to a choir. And now we all suffer.

The DLP IATA code is available! Unfortunately, DLY and DRP are taken. Unlike Palm Beach, it'd be embraced and BNA would be forgotten.

And you are the True 45th President of the United States of America. I declare the current government the third Anti-Presidency of the United States of America. As a person who doesn't sundown, doesn't have frontotempotal dementia, and is continent y'all should listen to me.

Hillary Rodham Clinton@hillaryclinton.bsky.social

It’s Lake Ontario.

I posted this on some Hell Site and may pair it with a picture of Lake Ontario on it's sister photo app. I miss having a real President.

Why did something about Enes Kanter always seem off to me going back to when he was speaking out about Erdogan? His imploding with his WNBA antics make me feel that somehow I was right along? The freedom to read bad vibes.

If God exists, he's on a hell of a cold streak this week and wants us to suffer. Twice he's taken the wrong 80 year old and once he's taken the wrong person who had a bit part in Home Alone 2. Jaye P. Morgan's bit on Celebrity Ding Dang Dong cannot be erased!

When the heck did @piperformissouri.bsky.social's Instagram comments turn into Threads? I feel like I'm being gaslit there. Where were the ads in 2024 with the Kamala campaign distilling Project 2025 as bad which didn't exist? I know, "She Warned Us" and "You Needed to Read It" but still...

Who around here is able to field some questions about death and grief, namely prolonged or anticipatory, in general? Every time someone dies, I wonder about my parents and how I as an only child will be left holding the bag. Or other relatives.

We nearly lived in a world where Dolly Parton, not yet fully revered as she ended up being, was the host of Family Feud. Instead, a year later, we had to settle for Louie Anderson. Knowing the times, it could've been a debacle. Or a clean version of Steve Harvey a decade plus later.

What event that was televised did you miss seeing live which you can't bear to watch? For me, Super Bowl XLII, the 2010 Olympic Men's Ice Hockey final, the 2014 Olympic Women's Ice Hockey final, and the 2024 US Presidential Debate (June 27) would be tied for it. And you?
