Eugene Debs, a Midwestern socialist? The coastal divide is being united
MAMDANI CAME OUT TO JA RULE "NEW YORK" AND IMMEDIATELY QUOTED EUGENE DEBS
"Nah, they're probably thrilled, " I mutter darkly to myself in a corner. "They hate JD and they want to keep their jobs. Those bastards'll interpret this as a lifeline."
Not exactly what the GOP Congress wants to hear from Trump right now!
See, God knew from the start that we'd need more than one
In a world where things are normal an assault case would get dosmissed as soon as it becomes clear on its face that the victim would rather endure the same assault again rather than suffer a papercut.
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.
Nothing says, "no therapy required" like remarrying 16 months after your wife of 31 years has passed in a church you've spent literally 10s of hours in to a raw milk enthusiast two decades your junior.
Congressman Thomas Massie has remarried.

Massie’s wife of 30 years, Rhonda, died suddenly in June 2024.

They had four children together.

I really hope that the left cares as much about the Mayoral and local elections in their own towns and cities as much as they care about Mamdani and NYC

A little telling that these dudes see a robot taking out the trash and immediately are like “well I clearly can’t compete with that”
“my wife left me for the male form factor robot”
Honestly, my only question is if he gets to do this as a republican or if he has to finance an independent ticket.
Counterargument: the sheer amount of psychic pleasure he'd get from trolling decent Americans by being the official vice presidential candidate on a ticket but running openly for president will be irresistible to him.
he’s not going to do any of this

the whole point of a third term is “fuck you the constitution is invalid I’m the king of America” he’s not here to play cutesy games where he runs as VP and Vance resigns or whatever

if his pet Supreme Court goes along, legality has nothing to do with it
There is a legal case for a third term—but it is strewn with obstacles

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.
Truly fucking amazing that anyone could watch this and still trust the dumb ai generated summary at the top of news articles.
AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.
It's got to be some mix of bots, news aggregators, and people who would be more interesting if they were bots
A) fuck CNN
B) it makes a certain amount of sense that no one in the regime (and very few people who are regime-adjascent) come from families expansive enough to encompass beloved, long-term friends.

In the final days of New York City’s mayoral race, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani has faced pushback over a story he told about his aunt being afraid to wear her hijab while riding the subway after the September 11, 2001, attacks. https://cnn.it/432IAcr
Having read every Vonnegut novel this year* I can say with some certainty and no little amount of regret that every Vonnegut novel has bangers that are absolutely relevant today.

*Mother Night is his best
reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book
I want to get this tattooed on me
If you've been wondering how to tell ring-tailed lemurs apart, Duke Lemur Center has a very wonderful graph mapping individual variations based on ear angle and pointiness

Pointiness range is Round to Elf
Angle range is Cat (straight up) to Airplane (side-to-side)

When I click on a WSJ link that doesn't have "/opinion" in it I know I'm going to get something well-sourced that reflects the perspective of the monied class. It's the same product every time. When I click on a WaPo article I could be getting anything
Absolutely not holding my breath for one of Trump's friends to pony up a few bucks to fund WIC
"The agency's announcement came after more than 200 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday called on USDA to draw on its emergency reserves to fund November food benefits.

However, according to a memo seen by Reuters, the department indicated that it would not do so."
US Department of Agriculture says no food aid benefits will be issued next month reut.rs/3WohHMk
Don't worry that a private citizen or foreign government is buying our military because they're not. Worry instead that they're buying access to and favors from the regime.
To put this in context, the US military usually costs $2 billion per day.

$130 million is 6.5% of one day's military spending.
New: The Pentagon confirms to CNN it will funnel $130M from an anonymous Trump “friend” toward military pay.

Asked about the donor’s identity and any foreign or domestic entanglements, the WH referred questions to DoD. DoD then referred questions back to the WH

during the 2016 campaign, the Boston Globe ran a scary mockup front page of what a world where Trump was president would look like, and it’s pretty tame compared to a random Friday morning’s headlines now
Three children were somehow turned into living stone after encountering Medusa and what some witnesses are describing as her petrifying new haircut
Describe a character in Greek mythology the way someone trying to defend a politician would. I’ll start.

Oedipus: Like you’ve never had sex with someone and regretted it later
I'm dumb dumb, but wouldn't that be public information? Like, won't this mystery donors name show up on a budget spreadsheet somewhere?
Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

everyone should attend the occasional religious service in a language they don’t speak and ideally for a faith they don’t practice, this shit is very awesome and very human
