Two right-wing political pantsings within about a week of each other? Feelings of hope slowly rising...

Good job, France.

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:

My response when anyone asks me if I've seen the latest news:

Lots happening in this picture!

There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

I think we could all use a bit of pick-me-up right about now, so seeing as it's July 3rd, why don't we once again reflect on one of the greatest white supremacist self-owns in military history:

I am so tired of being the guy in this cartoon. www.dailykos.com/stories/2024...

Cartoon: High anxietywww.dailykos.com Okay, just to reassure everyone, I’m exaggerating my stress levels (and, by extension, perhaps yours) for comic effect here. Well, a little bit, anyway. These are definitely not tranquil times. ...

THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."

HELD: you can pay someone on tuesday for a hamburger today, but you cannot pay them today for a hamburger on tuesday. as the founders intended.

deeply ironic that bribery is legal as long as it's on the honor system

Now we're cookin.

I really want some progressive judge to hold that if a corporation argues it has inherited the "religious identity" of its owners it also inherits the "legal identity" and the owners are therefore no longer is protective by the corporate veil.

Thanks for Reggie Jackson for saying this, and contempt and defiance, in advance, to the worthless shitbirds who will say he shouldn’t have and that he oughta leave if he doesn’t like it. Regrettably those worthless shitbirds are now fairly mainstream. sports.yahoo.com/mlb-at-rickw...

Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?!

Rick Perlstein caught on to this feature of "conservative" American political culture way back in 2012. It's only metastasized and essentially absorbed the GOP since then. thebaffler.com/salvos/the-l...

This is an excellent description of the editorial failure behind The NY Times' decision to run Alina Chan's lab leak article. What's the value proposition to the readership of presenting a one-sided argument that most scientists find lacking? Did no editor bother to ask that question?

I felt this in my fucking soul

Nope, don't like that.

Bombshell in France: Head of Les Républicains, the party of the traditional conservatives who long ruled France, just announced he’d accept a coalition deal with Le Pen’s far-right party. Unprecedented in national French politics. It'd be a huge collapse of the barrier against the RN.

Worth thinking a little about how Biden has been harshly punished by the press for following the justice system and allowing his son Hunter to get indicted and Trump was rewarded for pardoning his cronies and shutting down the Mueller investigation by the press agreeing he was exonerated.

I learned the values of religious pluralism, multi-racial democracy, and equality under the law from my family, my local public school, & the mainstream media I consumed in the 1970s & 80s (especially PBS kids shows like Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers). This is why the right hates those institutions.

this is the funniest thing happening on the internet today: people claiming the newly elected president of Mexico isn’t really Jewish because she thanked Jesus (she thanked Jesús, her husband)

For anyone who did not experience it first hand, I cannot begin to describe how monumentally worse an 8% unemployment rate is than an 8% inflation rate.

If you're ever wondering why every elder Millennial is either a communist or a grindset hustler small business capitalist, just look up the unemployment rate in 2009.

Ah, the Tom Brady Courtroom sketch artist treatment
