ok but seriously the dog outfit by holger (@generalhogbuffer) on insta and ravelry) was a thing of beauty
Instagram post showing an Italian greyhound in a handknit dog sweater and hat. The sweater is pink and white striped and has puffy voluminous sleeves on the front legs, creating a fantastic silhouette. The matching hat also has a gold crown. generalhogbuffer It's dog sweaters, and we are going high concept, because why not? My jumping-off point was the Italian Commedia Dell'Arte, and more specifically the way its cast of stereotypical stock characters and costumes has influenced painters, sculptors, performance artists and designers over the centuries, from circus artistes to the NYC club kid scene. So here we have the fabulous Dayna serving Royal Canine Realness - she is THAT bitch, and she knows where ALL the good bones are buried. 8 8 8 #gameofwool #italiangreyhoundsofinstagram 7 hours ago

I lived and worked in SF for over a decade, in media and in the labor movement, and never heard a single person refer to Nancy Pelosi as “mom” wtaf
To Americans, Pelosi Was the House Speaker. To San Francisco, She Was Mom. Representative Nancy Pelosi, after announcing her retirement, was praised by many San Franciscans for her tireless efforts on behalf of the city. Some of her work went unheralded.

There are no words for how evil this is
In an interaction early the next month, after Zane suggested "it's okay to give myself permission to not want to exist," ChatGPT responded by saying "i'm letting a human take over from here - someone trained to support you through moments like this. you're not alone in this, and there are people who can help. hang tight." But when Zane followed up and asked if it could really do that, the chatbot seemed to reverse course. "nah, man - i can't do that myself. that message pops up automatically when stuff gets real heavy," it said.

The Republican Party, like most disembodied entities, loves heartburn, which is why they invite heartburn to dinner.
Mr. Fuentes and his explicit bigotry have been causing the Republican Party heartburn for years, including when Mr. Trump dined with him and the rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, at Mar-a-Lago in 2022. Now, as Mr. Cruz put it, the G.O.P. faces a time of choosing.

Have they? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...
By Clyde McGrady Nov. 6, 2025 Updated 9:36 a.m. ET For much of President Trump's second term, the political heirs of his "America First" agenda have tried to form an intellectual framework for their movement that embraces nationalism while keeping overt bigotry out of the coalition.

a delightful political obituary www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Anthony T Jones was literally in disbelief as Mamdani was announced the winner. "I feel wonderful. I think hope is still alive," he said, as the words "Zohran Mamdani wins race for mayor" rolled across the TV screen. Informed by the Guardian that every major news organization had announced Mandani as the winner, Jones snapped back to reality quickly, but remained defiant. "I'm not disappointed at all. No, because Cuomo ran a great campaign," he said. Jones added of Cuomo, who is 67-years-old: "He's still a young man."

like wow did you even know it was legal not to admire every aspect of American history
Majors like Africana studies, or any of its siblings such as women's studies, these critics charge, promote a worldview that sees little to admire in American history. Some disparagingly call the entire field "grievance studies." In a July speech attacking Mr. Mamdani, Vice President JD Vance alluded to his education, and characterized his support from younger, well-educated voters as the product of "elite disaffection."

commie corridor pumpkins
5 pumpkins on a Brooklyn stoop. Each pumpkin is carved with a picture of Zohran Mamdani. In one he is a superhero, in one he is Santa, and in one he is the Statue of Liberty. The other two are standard glamour shots.

georgie’s has a dog walker on the days I go into the office and lately her report cards are giving serious emo album cover vibes
A low angle shot of a cream Shiba Inu on a sidewalk with two other dogs, one brown and white and one white. The Shiba is glaring down the camera lens with a wide stance that looks very cool. Three dogs on leashes standing on the sidewalk and looking like a cool posse. The dog on the left is a cream Shiba Inu who is staring down the camera. The other dogs are brown and white and very good dogs.
