Does the *race*, an inanimate concept, keep getting nastier? Or is one of the candidates a big racist with a bunch of racist supporters? Who can say!

Calling my shot: if Talarico wins Republicans will openly wink-wink-nudge suggest patriots take the matter of his election into their own hands (kill him so Abbott can appoint a replacement) If Hinojosa wins obviously they'll move replacement power to the legislature so she can't do it

Random thought that brought a smile to my face: Pete Hegseth will be alive to see all the art made about him and he's going to really hate all of it

This podcast episode about Aella seems newly relevant for Bluesky

This also exposes the obvious, bad-faith lie behind the SFFA case, that these right-wing orgs were ostensibly concerned about discrimination against Asian-Americans in college admissions. Now that the damage is done, they'll happily tell us they don't want Asians in American schools!

I wonder if the Free Speech Brigade will be all over multiple publicly funded venues deplatforming a performer for saying "Free Palestine", or if their anger is only activated on behalf of racist scumbags talking about skull sizes at colleges

A related thought: these guys would never do this "but Academic Freedom" dance for someone doing "research" that sought to, say, justify the Holocaust. They do it for racists because they, secretly or outwardly, think the racists might have a point.

I get that people want Bluesky to be The Sports App but the number of NFL posts weeks before the season starts is getting to be a bit much

Maybe this is petty, but it's so weird to me that the Times frames this article this way because nowhere in the whole thing does the guy say he supports Trump any less

Remembering when Neri Oxman plagiarized Wikipedia and suffered no professional consequences, had no media frenzy, gee I wonder what the differences are

Not that it's a surprise, but the @nytimes.com has learned nothing from their Claudine Gay debacle; again they thoroughly adopt the framing of right-wing racists on X to cover a Black academic's scandal wildly beyond its importance. This time, not even death can release the grip of these vultures.

Alright I read the Tyler Austin Harper article and I'm mostly go smacked he says (and apparently believes) adjunct faculty get hired to tenure-track roles all the time!?

Where do the students live, Tom? *Not* the city where they spend 9-12 months of the year?

"Chatterton's gonna be here guys, his flight from Paris was just a little delayed"

Rolling up with my posse to drop some truth bombs on the microbrew elitists of Bluesky (my posse is NYC magazine staff writers who all use our middle names professionally)

"People dunking on the dumbass takes of me and my friend are full of RAAAAAAGE, not like me, im not mad, please don't put in the newspaper that i got mad"

Has this administration had a single individual scandal that the NYT wrote more stories about than Claudine Gay's plagiarism accusations?

When a leftist wins a primary, they have to moderate to appeal to centrists; it's the left's fault for being extreme. When a centrist wins a primary, they don't have to reach out to the left at all. This is, somehow, also the left's fault for being extreme. Thanks for clearing that up, Tom.

Where is Galloway "doxed", exactly? I can't find his name on the list published by the city for the pied-a-terre tax here: www.nyc.gov/site/finance... As best as I can tell from searching, this is the evil list that everyone is talking about. So where is Galloway's name?

Dokoupil interjects here to say that they invited Warner on the program to add context, which really misses the point that it shouldn't only be politicians with (D) after their names telling viewers that Trump lies a lot, it's his job too

So fitting that the Times has this "America in Focus" series that you'd think might be interested in the whole country but in practice only exists to center and highlight Trump supporters

@bretdevereaux.bsky.social Love to learn about your podcast appearances elsewhere but this is a jump scare

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social After getting FIFA to reverse Folarin Balogun's red card, Trump is owed an apology from every liberal who ever called him racist. by Marc Thiessen

It's really disappointing that the players don't speak out about their likenesses being used to promote fascism

This is what my wife says before she's definitely going to fall asleep watching a TV show on the couch at night

In 2020 JD Vance was working on venture capital and PAC stuff, in case there's any doubt that he's speaking from personal experience here

I hAve only seen one clip of your bunnies

Seems like a good day to re-up @bretdevereaux.bsky.social's deep dive on the (non-)effectiveness of strategic bombing at achieving war goals

It's so funny that Walsh posted nothing about the hockey game until after it was over, if the US lost he was going to be like "oh, what? there was a sportsball today?"

Reminder that Logan Roy ate it on an airplane

Thinking about how, at the end of The Shield, incredibly corrupt and violent cop Vic Mackey escapes accountability for the many crimes he committed at LAPD by getting a job with ICE

John Oliver played a clip last night of her recounting her origin story for the FP; she claimed there it was NPR putting "racist" in the headline of a story she wrote on Trump (She left this out - wonder why! - but the story was on him telling the Squad to go back to the countries they came from)

"Did our coverage on this story suck shit? No, trust us, you're actually frustrated about this other thing"

The 5 people who see this should all cancel their Times subscriptions Just use an archive site to read their stuff when you need to

@isthereanydeal.com feature request: I get *so many* emails for shapez 2 because they keep lowering the price by, like, a few cents. Setting "strictly better" for new notifications helped a bit, but could we get an option to set a difference (say, 5% lower) compared to the last notification?

There's so many kinds of sandwiches in the world. Sometimes you want a hoagie. Sometimes you want a Reuben. Sometimes you want a club. Sometimes you want a sourdough roll. All of these orders, in their most ideal form, come from different delis. Life is a rich tapestry

Given all these stories that exist out there, we should be seeing a lot more articles about how Trump's explicit promise is "it should be legal for my supporters to do crimes"

Trump begs Moran to look at the photo with him - which would be an incredibly newsworthy, viral moment - and Moran turns him down!!!

@ericapricot.bsky.social on one hand we all love the Dubs turning their season around and playing great basketball, but on the other, do you miss when you didn't have to make a video after almost every game?

Wow welcome to the resistance Elon, wait until he hears about Shelby County v. Holder

Me: playing the @eve6.bsky.social "Steal My Sunshine" cover for my wife Her: "This song is old enough to cover??"

Perfect timing for the latest pod episode @davidjroth.bsky.social!

Can we please get a "TERF Island" labeler as a backup for when one of these people doesn't follow J*ss* S*ng*l
