If they do put Kamala Harris on the top of the ticket, I am prepared for a level of misogynoir unwitnessed since Rosa Parks sat down on that bus.

There are a lot of people who don’t know the correct answer to “do you want to be right or do you want to win.”

Look, I've voted in every midterm and presidential election since 1990, the first year I was eligible. I wish there was a president I wanted to vote for this year, but I sure as hell want to vote against Project 2025.

Heyyyy who remembers the tv show Renegade? 😅

Can we get David Tennant to tell TFG to shut up and add to his head-of-state kill count? Or at least drop this line on the Grey Lady as a finishing move.

It's also wildly inaccurate. Plenty of the base of white christian nationalism is in wealthy suburbs and, yes, cities too. Stop buying this "barefoot hicks" b.s. and realize the fascists are down the street shopping at whole foods.

Honestly I feel deflated seeing the response to “depiction of white Christian nationalism ascendant” be cracks about inbreeding, or glee at concentrating these people in rural communities so they can eat their own

You have just lost The Game.

The “Gimme a K Street Job” episode is one of my love-hate type favorites because on the one hand, UGH, but on the other hand watching the Leverage crew come up against Congress is fucking hysterical.

there are many reasons we need to win in the fall, but one of them is that i simply am not going to abide by letting both the brits and the french lecture us

Or maybe he was just mad because I interrupted him to say that I do not produce output, I write stories. I dunno. Usually I let this kinda thing go but it felt like it was actually informing the entire framework of his worldview and so making the distinction was required.

hahaha yeah, when it’s hot like this they still demand to go in the afternoon - but that “walk” is basically “around the block in the grass and as much shade as we can manage”

If you're too cringe for Threads but not Bluesky what are we even doing as a society

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

Happy Shark Week 2024! Shark programming on TV can be pretty...umm.... let's call it "hit or miss" when it comes to factual information 😅 Do yourself a favor and follow some shark biologists this week, like @curlybiologist.bsky.social, @sofishtication.bsky.social, & @melissacmarquez.bsky.social!

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

Why don't we just start calling them "fragileionaires"

There is exactly one moral argument to be made and the only people who have been making it are those who say the Gaza mass murder is a line that cannot be recovered from Everyone else losing their shit since the debate needs to get a grip

When I was a kid some yutes parked a bigasss motorcycle behind him at a market and refused to move it one was like "you move it old man hahaha" and I will never forget his face when the old man just picked up that bike and threw it into the street, that expression is imprinted in my mind for life

The thing that's obvious to everyone and that nobody can actually write in the press is that the American (and yes, I'm sure elsewhere too) right wing is led by bad people and the object is to make more people extremely bad in basically every respect. It's anti-society

Just a reminder that Michelle Wolf nailed it at the White House Correspondents Dinner. NYT, I’m looking in your direction especially.

I do captioning for a living, & a big part of my job is cleaning up false starts & filler words. That has always been the norm at every media outlet. Print media edits Trump so carefully that you would never know what he actually sounds like. Doing this to Biden is a 180 from decades of policy.

Now everyone--The Times and, sorry to say, MSNBC--is noting every missed syllable. The man has a stutter. I don't stutter but I am a mushmouth who speaks too fast and slurs words. I've had to overcome fear of public speaking. I have empathy for Biden. The press has empathy for no one (but Trump).

“Biden should drop out and instead the candidate should be ___” …Wow, some of y’all never had your mom tell you that you can eat the meatloaf or go to bed hungry but we’re not going to McDonalds, and it shows.
