A dispatch from my night at Curtis Sliwa's election watch party:

🚨ICYMI🚨 The manosphere is a term used to describe a wide range of male-focused influencers obsessed with money, status or physique. Plenty supported Trump, but what do they actually want? @sameagan.bsky.social, @nikkimcr.bsky.social and @jacobjarvis.bsky.social discuss 👉 linktr.ee/americanfric...

Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall.

COUNT II

The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???
