One of my professors was part of his campaign team. He told us a story once about Obama calling his wife excited about getting some piece of legislation passed when he was a senator and his wife responding with "There are ants in the house"
To flip some discourse script for a bit: what’s y’all’s Obama number (ie degrees of separation with the former president)? Mine is 3

Check out how easy this is.
Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”
I know this is one of the least important things about this but the name of the subhuman hick who rapes kids was Cledith?! Between this and the kitten thing, this would be laughed at in any decent writing room for being too on the nose and overwrought
In MAGA, parental estrangement is a big issue — and parents are held out as blameless victims. I suspect that's one reason why Vivek Ramaswamy ran an ad celebrating Amy Acton's vile mother. And why MAGA — including Vance and Trump — are backing him. www.salon.com/2026/10/23/r...

It's nice to see that the idealistic dream of the internet still gets realized occasionally
Bluesky has been amazing at connecting me with people who suffer chronic migraine and facial pain. I just spent 90 minutes talking to a young woman who is REALLY facing the worst of her condition right now. It seemed to help both of us. If you need help or you know someone who does, DM me.

All prisoners should have the right to vote while in prison
Arguably the biggest democracy referendum next month: Virginia is one of only three states where the state constitution says people should lose their right to vote FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIFE if they are convicted of any felony. This measure would allow anyone to vote after prison.

if you think about it, winning via a direct connection to the divine father of all creation through His appointed emissary on Earth is a much more egregious cheating scandal than banging on trash cans
The first team in MLB history to make the postseason after even two consecutive 100-loss seasons (they had 3) just won a postseason series These White Sox, what a story!

See, the version of this that actually works is this guy comes in thinking Wayne is entirely useless and partners with Penguin in a bunch of charitable endeavors that are used as a cover for crime and then the Joker kills his family for fun, turning our guy into essentially the punisher
I want a "villain" for Bruce Wayne that's just some dude who's really positive and charismatic who thinks wealth disparities are central to Gotham's issues. I want him upset Bruce by doing things like building a homeless shelter over the alley where the Waynes died and dedicating it to them.
Many such cases
You will notice that at no point in this thread is there any engagement with actual Israeli policy, or the response of various Palestinian national movements, or how international law should be applied, etc, because it's mostly about his discursive enemies, rather than anything real or concrete.

Bobby, Bobby baby, Bobby bubbi Bobby, what the fuck are you doing?
I don't know *why* this was a 9/11 tribute but it's still my favorite (insane) 9/11 tribute. Raul Esparza went on that stage and was like "oh no, I am going to MAKE you understand that this is a song about an insanely toxic sexual relationship and how it destroys you. Anyway #NeverForget"
