This remains, and I say this advisedly, one of the best exchanges I have ever seen on social media

so if I'm understanding the tech-bro position correctly, it's this

Good news: Chicago Public Schools students are doing better and recovering from Covid learning loss.

Bad news: The mayor just fired the guy leading this success story for no reason.

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

The Republican Party's line on Elon Musk was already weird.

But seeing a GOP congressman describe the billionaire megadonor as "our prime minister" clearly made a bad situation worse. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I haven't yet forgiven Jerry Ford. Everything we're dealing with today could have been resolved in the mid 1970s. Even the malignant players are the same.

Renowned soul and gospel singer Cissy Houston has died. She was part of a extraordinary musical family that included Dionne Warwick and her superstar daughter, Whitney Houston.

Republicans who voted against FEMA funding who are now claiming that FEMA isn’t doing enough

A thread

Tommy Tuberville voted against FEMA funding two weeks ago

I happen to be a praying person so I’m sending prayers toward those in harm’s way. More importantly, I am voting for Harris. I will do my best to get other to also vote for Harris.

These tragedies make you feel powerless. Signing up to do GOTV is a thing you can do to feel less powerless.

Tim Burchett voted against FEMA funding two weeks ago

I really wish people understood what a toxin Honig has been for years.

He's the founding father of half the conspiracy theories about Merrick Garland that led people to hate rule of law, when he could have, instead, talked about how long it takes to do a privilege review of a phone.

I love good referback snark.

"It’s unsettling for anyone when they think they know what to expect, but then things turn out very differently. It feels like having something snatched away, & for autistic people, it can feel like a crisis." @ferrousmu.bsky.social, at TPGA:

It’s Schadenfriday, and this one’s a good one. Tina Peters is the election denying former county official from Colorado who committed crimes to try and prove the 2020 election was stolen. She just got what was coming to her and then some. My write-up in the replies.

Yeah I saw that skit and cheered for him. Poor guy hadn't had such a great break since is childhood acting days.

Jenny was the character that hit me hardest. What kind of person looks at a women abused by men her entire life and who dies from aids is a villain rather than the most tragic victim.

Enterprise reporting.

The feds are investigating whether bribes were paid for NYPD promotions and transfers, per NYPost. The day of NYC mayor Eric Adams's indictment, FBI agents raided a downtown Manhattan office building where two top mayoral advisers, Phil Banks and Tim Pearson, both former cops, work.

Trump is going to the Alabama vs. Georgia football game today. “The Harris campaign has arranged to have a small plane fly over Tuscaloosa during the game with a banner declaring, ‘Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate.’” www.cnn.com/2024/09/28/p...

As much as I love Whoopi she occasionally gets things very wrong. Claiming Roman Polanski was not guilty pedophilia because it wasn't “rape-rape”.

I swear Tim Walz is so good at this.
