Vigil by George Saunders is about a spirit guide helping a billionaire oil prick to the afterlife. Essentially, it’s a meditation on karma and listen, I worship Saunders, but maybe stop trying to make everything sooooo deep. Five stars though. He’s a genius.

Trump has been throwing racist shade at the Obamas for a long time. It’s nothing new. It’s just, more people are waking up to it. Which, again, how did you NOT know this.
This country is so rotten.

The $250 million that Jeff Bezos paid for the Washington Post represents about 0.1% of his net worth. No one needed to be fired today.

Here is Konni Burton, a conservative former state Senator from the area who was a central part of the Tarrant County Tea Party, agreeing that a Rehmet win would be a 9.5 on the Richter scale.

‼️‼️ Still a lot TBD, but Rehmet is leading early vote count by **13 POINTS** in a district that Trump won by 17 points. I'll be updating in this thread throughout the night.
ICYMI: This Saturday, progressive Taylor Rehmet squares off against a billionaire-funded Christian nationalist for a +17 Trump state senate seat in Tarrant County, a hub of the far right. Rehmet already over-performed, and is confident he’s on the verge of a stunning upset in a bellwether county.
In Tarrant County, a Hub for the Far Right, a Democrat Seeks a Major Upset
In a runoff election for Texas Senate District 9, which has not elected a Democrat since 1991, Taylor Rehmet is betting his pro-labor message can flip disillusioned voters.

If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is a hard movie to like. It’s undeniably brilliant, anchored by a raging Rose Byrne, a stubborn refusal to comprise on anything ever and weirdly, Conan O Brien. I’ll never watch it again but it’s probably a masterpiece.
