George Lucas sitting with his hand extended. Behind him is a screen where it reads "Chaos!". It looks as if his hand is holding the word.

Nobody ever says "I wish I'd played more video games" when they die. Video games haven't been around long enough. I may be the first to say it.

e.g. if someone Finally Did The Unspeakable But Extremely Funny Thing, there would be a near incontestable moral mandate to fight for their political and legal freedom from a conviction.

NEW: Seth Moulton becomes the first candidate in a Democratic primary for Senate to officially announce that he will return and henceforth reject donations from AIPAC

Seth for
Massachusetts
I am returning AIPAC donations and refusing to accept any donations or support from them. The FEC filing I made yesterday reflects that we are returning donations. Below is my statement explaining why:
I'm cautiously optimistic that the recent breakthrough in Gaza will move us closer to ending the horrific violence in the region. A political resolution that allows Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace is exactly the kind of framework I've been calling for from the beginning.
I support Israel's right to exist, but l've also never been afraid to disagree openly with AIPAC when I believe they're wrong.
In recent years, AIPAC has aligned itself too closely with Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. I'm a friend of Israel, but not of its current government, and AlPAC's mission today is to back that government. I don't support that direction. That's why l've decided to return the donations I've received and will not be accepting their support.

Greenblatt with kinder words for Republicans who are affiliated with actual Hitler Youth than what he says about Zohran Mamdani

What was reported in @politico is offensive and very concerning. But I'm also glad that many leaders, including @EliseStefanik and @ReMikeLawler, spoke out strongly and swiftly against these hateful statements. This is what leadership looks like - and is how decency and morality can be modeled. politico.com/news/2025/10/1...
Everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.
viner as we oning ut
Great. I love Hitler
Also ... we are officially under consideration for a Trump endorsement.

Never knew that disarming paramilitary groups on another continent was one of the Mayor of New York's powers, makes you wonder why Giuliani didn't do it before 9/11.

People say cross racial solidarity is impossible yet I feel total affinity deep in my soul with the main character of the Offspring's Pretty Fly for a White Guy. Don't give up, MLK's dream is possible, it's here if you want it.

I think this is my actual, serious take on Platner's reddit: your Aunt Maureen is saying shit with venomous abandon that would have horrified her twelve months ago, I think primary voters either won't care or will actually like it.

Republicans have a right to power and are valid officials for office at the age of 19 with no experience outside of their popular racist YouTube channel, democrats must be cultivated angels delivered by political machines that grow them in vats and release them for the senate at the age of 79

always worth pointing out that all this fucking bullshit straightforwardly violates the 15th Amendment, which grants sweeping authority to prevent abridging voting rights based on race

Lots of grim stuff at SCOTUS yesterday, but Alito cooking up pretexts for state lawmakers to use for racial gerrymandering felt like a nadir.

The Supreme Court’s War on the Voting Rights Act Is Almost Over

The Roberts court has long had a monomaniacal obsession with gutting the laws that guarantee the right to vote. They are on the brink of getting their wish.

if the standard is that unrefined reddit / social media comments are disqualifying among democratic party institutions and voters, as the post below implies, then no one under the age of 50 (an age that gets older each cycle) will be allowed to serve

Many such cases in fact (there's a big drop in the frequency of marriages where a woman makes 50% or more of income... because those couples become super likely to get divorced)
