Something I will absolutely recommend about France is getting out of Paris for a bit. I went to a town that had a damn castle from William the Conquerer and I kept thinking I had to check in or pay money or something but it’s just a big castle in town that people eat sandwiches at

Understood. But hard times notwithstanding, American progressives are still American and you have to wear this.

I like this for the content, but not sure about the drag bit. Why do this?

Michael Guravich @mguravich.bsky.social · 1d

Well, duh. Everything Trump touches…

The New York Times is a right-wing newspaper that skates by under cover of its liberal arts and culture sections

So this is what's above the fold in today's NYT, while the protests get two photos below the fold and a piece on A23. I know I shouldn't be surprised at this point, but damn.

Good news for Maine, bad news for Susan Collins.

Michael Guravich @mguravich.bsky.social · 1d

Agree, but I would also point out that the only thing about our monarchs that has concerned Canadians - apart from being archaic and way undemocratic - is when they embarrass themselves. Elizabeth, by her conduct, held things at bay. She’s gone now and we’ll be following Barbados soon enough.

Would be nice to have a rather more literal No Kings protest up here

Why do so many gen Z women across the US identify as ‘leftist’?

Generation Z women represent the most leftwing demographic in modern US history: ‘There’s definitely a gender divide’

Media will wait until Trump is gone before they start reporting on his crassness and cruelty. Safer that way…

Q: Do you hate America?

‘No Kings’: Au contraire. We love America. Why the fuck do you think we’re doing this? Look around.

Beating authoritarians will take all of us rowing in the directions - all of us - different colors, shapes, sex, economic background - all of us.

Let’s celebrate everyone who came out and is coming out and marching to say #NoKings.

This American is grateful. 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙌🏻

A successful protest movement requires as broad a coalition as possible.

If you’re recoiling from the support of mainstream privileged segments of society, you’re not trying to win the fight, you’re just trying to win personal praise.

Ahhh. I think I misread the post, making the TBS announcer, not Pinker, my target. Shit. Sorry.

But yeah, I’ve heard those terms on baseball telecasts and never batted an eye. Baseball verbs are unique to the game and have their own grammar. Pinker should know this and get with it.

Michael Guravich @mguravich.bsky.social · 2d

He has a problem with “flied out”??? I mean, c’mon, you don’t go all posh grammar in baseball. Baseball lingo is part of the game. Flied out has been around for decades.

Flew out my ass.

Also loved how the referee just ignored all that and went to pick up his flag.

This piece by Frank Rich for New York Magazine, about the New York mayoral election - and much more - is what everybody needs to read. It’s so coherent, so right, so neatly tied together. And then there’s the humanity.

What they’re mad about is that he is a better performer than anybody they’ve got.
