Man, remember when it came down to a literal coin flip over whether we’d be 50/50 or if the Rs would have control? Who coulda imagined 63 in that moment.

Think so? It’s about what I expected; not as good as Spanberger, but people thinking “man, what an asshole” over someone’s texts doesn’t overcome the inertia of people voting D on Gov & LtGov keeping that going down the ticket.

My wife has said many times it takes a lot longer than you’d think to smother someone with a pillow. I assume from how she usually glances at me when she says it that she thinks I’m not listening but I’ve heard her say it multiple times so she must be confident it’s true.

But if we won’t elect someone because they’ve been revealed as an abuser then that will only leave us with another 300+ million other folks to run, instead, how can we possibly manage?

You want to laugh but this is how stupid and selfish the scott adamses of the world are

Twitter user @BumrahBachi pointing out that the experimental cancer treatment that Scott "Dilbert" Adams is begging Trump to help him get was developed through publicly-funded research at Johns Hopkins, Purdue, Mizzou, and the National Institute of Health and the National Cancer Institute

There has never been a more urgent need to have a society internalize the sentiment “The cemeteries are full of irreplaceable men.”

I don’t know if this show is any good but I’m sure it’s colorful with good blocking.

Chalk sign board for the Bread and Puppet Circus performance at the Rothko Chapel in Houston, Texas, which reads “Bread and Puppet Circus performs here tonight at 6:30 PM by donation, no one turned away.”

I dunno what it’s like there but down here in the DC area we’re getting gusts over 30mph. Gonna be quicker putting away the decorations this year.

Could be just plain and simple worry about being sued. Though how you are anything but a raging sycophant w/o opening yourself up to that possibility is beyond me; seems like if you’re gonna pretend to be news or news-adjacent you gonna accept the risk of weak-ass suits from this admin.

I am skeptical they’d ever do it and have to fully own the consequences of their actions, but I would never have predicted their abdicating so much of their power.

MAMDAMI SAYS HES GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO RUN NYC BUT HAS HE EVER RENOUNCED REFERRING TO A MINERAL, SALT, AS A “#1 SPICE?”

Anil Dash @anildash.com · 5d

The sheer delight of a Mr. Cardamom fan finding out that rapper's true identity at this moment in cultural history is excellent.

Rahul Bhargava @rahulbot.bsky.social · 5d

Wait he co-wrote #1 Spice! WHAT? 🤯 How did I not know this until now? Social media has really let me down on this one.

Wasn’t meaning to be accusatory, sorry if it read that way. Forgetting stuff from 40 year old movies (:cries in senior genX:) is totally reasonable.
