Here's some fashy tears for your Sunday.

Incredible. What a relief.

JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise: —Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!) —Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well. —No bloc close to majority. Follow this 🧵 for results and more:

Obviously, won’t go anywhere in a Republican House, but at least she’s doing something. Hopefully, there’s more coming.

Liberals are enemies of workers. There is no justification to strip these workers of their constitutionally protected right to strike.

Abortion Debate Shifts as Election Nears: ‘Now It’s About Pregnancy’www.nytimes.com Two years after Roe was struck down, the conversation has focused on the complications that can come with pregnancy and fertility, helping to drive more support for abortion rights.

This is the most ludicrous scandal yet for the British Tories. Imagine being so gormless that you would submarine your own party's campaign for whatever minor amount of money you would get from winning a £100 bet.

Idiot: Star Trek isn't "woke" or "leftist"! It's progressive, but not like how the CRT crowd are using the word today. You see... Me: Bitch, "Deep Space Nine" literally quotes The Communist Manifesto when ADVOCATING for unions.

Specifically me, specifically yesterday, when I realized I was late to a meeting that was a 2.5hr drive away.

THEY GOT THE WRONG FUCKING DONALD.

When the chips are down, liberals will always side with fascists against socialists.

Hard to sum up the level of anti-left vitriol from Macron’s party right now. This is Borne, Macron’s prime minister from 2022 to 2024. She calls Left coalition “separatist wokists who support Islamism & communitarianism.” After that word vomit, she criticizes far-right for… having a vague platform.

PSA: If you are suspected of murder and all of a sudden the Heck's Anglos start showing up saying you might be cool enough to ride with them, don't fall for it. That's a Mr. Big sting and the RCMP love it because it lets them play dress up and pad out their expense reports www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This post has, by a literal order of magnitude, the most likes I've seen any post get on here.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

The nature of my job as a union lawyer is that I read a lot of letters firing and suspending people from their jobs. The tendency of employers to address the people they are firing by first name in those letters really grates on me. It feels incredibly condescending and disrespectful.

despite the horrendous response rates, polling has still been relatively solid in recent years (if not as good as in Nate Silver's heyday) this will be the end of that what the actual fuck
