VALHALLA I AM COMING

informative thread and linked article

Between allegations against congressman Max Miller, the rape of AZ Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia, and Jane Doe’s lawsuit against Cornell, sexual violence has been front and center. Which makes Ramaswamy’s exploitation of Acton’s rape a clear strategy—not a misstep.

At first I'm thinking she's just a typical cynical TP making a specious argument, but at the end there she just veers into stupid, stupid, stupid

If only there was some form of document which enumerated the powers of the legislature.

Today Elon Musk has more blood on his hands. These photographs should be in every American living room tonight

Todd Spango over here

My grandfather came from Abruzzo, he worked in a steel mill, and he was dead at 49 years old. By all accounts a lovely man, I never met him. Through him I have Italian citizenship, for which I am grateful. Just my story, there are many. Immigration is the defining characteristic of this nation.

Crying over here. And I learned something too. I'll probably be dead when this guy finally runs for president, which means my ghost is going to be on the damn case.

and they keep taking free drink orders, which never arrive

If he wants people to know about Little Italy, he ought to do more to support history education and museums. Also, the putrid snake uses to African communities as counter examples, like we need more ignorant distrust of POC in the Italian American community. Spike Lee made a film about this I recall

I love this thread and I believe it is an argument for a robust civil service with a considered but substantial independence from the elected government. Continuity and advancement of expertise cannot be subject only to the whims of politicians or voters.

Deeply American sentence (from Davy Crockett’s wikipedia page)

I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

Three year anniversary of Oct. 7th. Some real talk. Stick with me and watch to the end.

Anand Giridharadas: Cities are very unfairly labeled as these 'problem centers' by Donald Trump. One thing worth remembering is a large chunk of those people who end up in cities were failed in other parts of this country. We are holding a lot of your people who you failed to love and take care of.

should be instructive for democrats that Magyar is living up to his promise to prosecute Orban officials for corruption and is continuing to poll extremely highly

Delightful also to hear real eagle noises. In movies eagles are always dubbed with hawks, since hawks found fierce and eagles sound like adorable squeakers.

My greatest frustrating has been with policy wonks who persist in thinking we can just keep doing normal policy analysis ("calling balls and strikes") in this situation. The President of the United States is both lawless and out of his mind. That preempts all normal discussion.

This is a photograph of the edge of one of Saturn's rings, looking down from above. Those spiky dark shapes are shadows. Shadows of giant towers of ice and dust grains clumped together that rise up to three *kilometres* above the 10-m thick rings.

Holding this maternal healthcare event alongside Harris was a smart move by El-Sayed, and a necessary one. He needs to strengthen Black support in Michigan. The divisions of the 2024 uncommitted movement were real, and Black voters haven’t forgotten how ugly that election became. #HealthcareForAll

Are you sincerely asking if I've heard of Nuremberg, random bluesky neighbor? Not that it's a bad question, it's just that your comments are turned off. So it seems like maybe you are not.

WSJ can you... just... fuck off

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.

Shoutout to the citizen who recognized my House of Tarth t-shirt at the farmers' market today and gave me a high five #Brienne #Tarth #WhenWillThisCliffhangerBeResolvedGeorgeEndMySuffering

Ed Sheeran's agent: Ok fuck me that was a wild few days. Still we should be over the worst of it now...

Me: I’d like a slice of pizza Server: that comes with three sides Me: I know what shape it is

Maine's second district went for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024. That's one of two electoral votes. I grew up in Maine. Please trust me, it is not reliably blue.

thinking about this tweet again, and the fact that it's got such a hold on me that I genuinely think about it whenever I write a feature because I don't want to do "the hot dog thing"

The fact that the end of apartheid was the product of Black African agency explains why it is ignored, credited to market forces or memory-holed. The fact that it ended peacefully explains why people like Elon Musk invent imaginary "white genocides" to justify their race-based fear-mongering today.
