we're watching Don't Eat the Pictures, the 1983 Sesame Street special where they spend a night in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and my favorite scene is where Oscar the Grouch falls in love with antiquities damaged over time, calling them broken and beautiful www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v9f...

I wish more people understood that we’re in the midst of a global far right resurgence, as the richest people in the world cling to power.

pretty stunning how the billionaire class(and yes that means the legacy media) have completely turned on Biden. They'd rather have a fascist dictatorship than pay taxes and a living wage to employees. Insane power grab in front of the cameras

Just have to note that the black commentators I’ve seen on the Biden issue have some of the sanest takes by far.

I know KJ Charles got some static this morning over her post about the use of Sir, but fr she writes some fun and sexy stories that you should check out, I recommend the Will Darling Adventures (trilogy), which I am willing into existence as a movie starring Taron Edgerton.

There must be one disgruntled PA out in Hollywood who can find out who it was that wants Biden to withdraw because he didn't call them on their birthday.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

i’ll tell you what, man, if biden manages to survive and win another term, i hope he and his aides remember that it was mostly the ancient centrists — not the progressives and not the younger dems — who came behind up him with the knives, and that he responds in kind.
notably, “trying to assemble” and “has assembled” are two extremely different things and if he were able to do the latter, his ratshit ass wouldn’t be leaking the former.

It’s getting weird out here for people with speech impediments
what are we doing here? he accidentally said million instead of billion and then immediately knew it and corrected himself. he didn’t “flub a line” and then “make an effort to correct himself,” he did the speaking equivalent of a typo that you know you’ve made and instantly correct

if this actually *does* happen, which, again, wait and see, every single fucking elected dem either gets off their ass and on the trail or they get the fucking hose, man. rotted fruit, milkshakes and fart noises when they talk in public
like, if it doesn’t, then, yes, biden probably needs to pass the campaign torch to harris, and good fucking luck to us all, because she’ll have to pull off the most incredible feat in the history of american presidential campaigns. but we aren’t there yet, and we may never get there.

We’ve all watched the GOP drag rapists, criminals, florid wackos, and brain-dead white supremacists to electoral victory over and over again. Perhaps the Democrats can summon up some of that energy to save our democracy and our lives.

The qualities of the candidate often do not fucking matter if the people who really want that candidate to get elected are willing to play hardball, especially if the candidate is an incumbent. Maybe, just this once, we could learn this lesson from the GOP to save ourselves from true horror.

This absolutely seems to be the ultra-rich making a play to shoot US democracy in the head, and we don’t have to stand for it.
Assholes: "Abigail Disney, an heiress to the Disney family fortune, plans to withhold donations to Democrats until Joe Biden drops out. Gideon Stein said he’s decided to pause planned donations of $3.5 million." www.cnbc.com/2024/07/04/d...
Disney heiress, wealthy Democratic donors say they won't finance the party until Joe Biden drops outwww.cnbc.com President Joe Biden faces a rebellion from wealthy Democratic donors after his debate performance against Donald Trump.

I'm really annoyed with the "There wasn't a real primary this year" argument because if people think Biden's as bad as everyone seems to think he is, someone would have primaried him. Every politician is a careerist asshole, and the people who would have run actually interact with him.

I know it will not calm anybody, but here’s two explanations of the thing Biden said: 1) his brain told a perfectly functioning mouth to say he was a black woman, a thing he believed 2) a true thing he was saying got a bit garbled between brain and mouth. Zero people believe (1).
This is just pathetic email forward garbage, being propagated by left “journalists,” because they’ve seized hold of a narrative they love and now have the same disregard for actual truthseeking that your average Fox News host does

Anyway in case you've been wondering why the Times has it's knife into the Biden admin, here's why. They reduced access for the most access obsessed dipshits in America. Thats all it took. Well, that and Biden saying Sulz should pay higher taxes on his personal wealth

The fact they're simultaneously running don't vote campaigns and trying to undermine the dem candidate is proof that the moneybags who own these publications are united in realizing their robber baron days are drawing to a close under a guy who is the most pro labour president of the 21st century
