all fun and games until she finds the statue of Ares

Italian officials are trying to identify a young woman who was filmed kissing, humping, and grinding against a statue of Bacchus, the God of wine and sensuality, in Florence over the weekend.

Italian officials slam tourist who ‘mimicked sex acts’ on a statue of Bacchus in Florence | CNNwww.cnn.com Italian officials are trying to identify a young woman who was filmed kissing, humping, and grinding against a statue of Bacchus, the God of wine and sensuality, in Florence over the weekend.

a “sticker mule” is someone paid to collect and distribute stickers to our customers. it’s named in reference to the 2000 mules who stole our elections in 2020

I usually talk in sports metaphor about this stuff but at this point I think the best analogy for polls is the Library of Babel from the Jorge Luis Borges short story

538 has listed a couple of US-house polls from MI this afternoon pointing in completely opposite directions. In MI-7, the district Slotkin is leaving open (Sabato’s Crystal Ball has as toss-up), poll has the R up 7. But in MI-10, currently held by R John James (SCB has lean-R), poll has D up 6.

Donald Trump is running out of time to drop out of the race

Isaac Chotiner interviews Bernie Sanders about Joe Biden

Bernie Sanders Wants Joe Biden to Stay in the Racewww.newyorker.com But he still won’t say that the President is capable of serving a second term.

no greater sign that it’s big donover, imo

Like, Strickler went *on the record* to say that he told Senator Heinrich that he won't get any $$$ unless he denounces Biden- so now, Heinrich CAN'T do that! Because it'll look like he's just doing Strickland's bidding!

adam schiff has done more than almost any other elected to convince people that he’s bought and paid for, he should have gotten his ratfucking out long before this story about rich donors dropped

Imagine saying “Biden is not subject to a vote of the wealthy” as a bad thing

Sucks to suck, i guess

of course he also recommended it for American Prejudice Month

Maybe THIS will be the dumbest thing I read today: Florida’s education commissioner announced Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice as a book of the month to “highlight the importance of American pride.” Can’t make this stuff up. H/t @ericcolumbus.bsky.social

finally someone puts in writing “we’re voting early because we’re concerned the Ohio law fix doesn’t actually fix it *and* we have other states to worry about” so people [not naming names] can’t just go “Ohio isn’t a problem, silly Dems; you don’t need an early vote”

The DNC has confirmed that the Rules Committee meeting on Friday (I'm a member) will not fix a date for a virtual roll call, and that no virtual roll call for the presidential nomination will take place before August 1.

“oh by the way this is at the presidential level only, downballot it’ll look like pre-Reagan levels of ticket-splitting.”

"Sure, despite Trump being worse and more racist than he was in 2020 he gets unprecedented, post-LBJ levels of Hispanic, Black, and Youth votes and despite Biden's policy platform resembling McCarthy's Nightmare at this point he wins the white senior citizens, why the fuck not."

I live in the NC Triangle region and you should attempt to drive a freight vehicle through the Gregson Street Overpass

Let's have some fun on Bluesky tonight! Tell me where you live and one thing everyone should do in your city! #flythefriendlysky

will admit I did not expect the interpretation “ah he’s totally gonna step down you guys” but in hindsight I should have

people are gonna thumb their nose at this but I’m glad he’s pushing back on the rumors that he won’t retire because he hates her or whatever

Sir, the question was, is this your handwriting?

I can’t believe this is a real quote from Trump sitting down with Bloomberg. I saw it on Twitter and figured it was a joke. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

“Folks, it's because of you that I am president and Kamala Harris is vice president. And by the way, she's not only a great vice president. She could be president of the United States." —Joe Biden at the NAACP convention today x.com/msnbc/status...

congrats to that dog on replacing Joe Manchin

IT’S HAPPENING

obvious push poll, look at the questions before this one: 1) Are you satisfied with the direction things are going on this planet? 2) Given the opportunity, would you have sex with hot space aliens? 3) Would you have sex with hot space aliens who could reproduce with humans?

*LATEST POLL: 48% OF AMERICANS WILLING TO RAISE HUMAN-ALIEN HYBRIDS (sponsored by the Committee to Colonize Earth, 501c3, Mammoth, UT)

so. what is that, lambskin?

This is ... quite the analogy

if it’s all the same to everyone else, I’m enjoying how we accidentally elected Bernie Sanders and I hope we re-elect him

Breaking news: President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

Biden set to announce support for major Supreme Court changeswww.washingtonpost.com The president has discussed the plans with constitutional scholars and members of Congress in recent weeks.

I thought AI Appreciation Day wasn’t until Septuuuch €7rd

Just got an email about celebrating AI Appreciation Day. FUCK NO.

I would simply have a statue that stays in one piece and my works beside remain. RIP to Ozymandias but I’m different

I will never forget the interview, shortly after Ozy Media Inc. was formed, where Carlos Watson said he named it after the poem, because "the lesson you take from [Ozymandias] is that you have to dream big." So that's why liberal arts education is important.

Republicans should be treating Trump the way Democrats are treating Menendez. Democrats should be treating Biden the way Republicans are treating Trump.

here’s how Tammy Murphy can still win

A replacement senator could be named by NJ Gov. Murphy (D) today, for people concerned about what this means. Here's NJ law: law.justia.com/codes/new-je...

Biden discussing w/ Holt the grounds that Cannon had thrown the Trump suit out on just that morning, and how it was tied to Clarence Thomas' concurrence the week prior is another one of those "dude knows his weeds" moments where I'd love to hear Trump answer the same question — about his own case.

can’t even make the “is Ron Johnson unfit for office” joke because I do believe that

Meanwhile over at the Republican convention

this is a delightful picture. when zooted I’m both of the people in it

you know how in Letterkenny the skids play a game where they draw straws and the guy with the short straw has to run into a field while getting shot at by the others

'GOP CONVENTION BEGINS AFTER ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT' is a chyron that made me think "another one?"
