Again, every plan the media is pushing is bad for the party but would produce great content for the media

Hey you guys wanna see the dumbest plan to replace Biden possible? www.semafor.com/article/07/0...

Anyways I absolutely believe the Biden Age Freakout is divorced from electoral reality and that American press does not see the anti-Trumpist wave welling up to crash down.

Campaign news has overshadowed this. For all those who missed it: the administration announced $1 billion to help communities be more resilient to climate change/natural hazards. www.dhs.gov/news/2024/07...

“A plan circulating among Dem donors” is NOT “a thing the Democratic party is considering” guys. It’s a richer group text with a journalist friend.

To save democracy, the Democratic party may resort to deploying the greatest concept of all time: a political version of the NBA In-Season Tournament

The story of the French election is not the left compromising to back the center and stop the far right. That's arguably the story of Macron's presidential election, but not this. The story of this parliamentary election is left and center both compromising to stop the far right.

I need the opinion of lawyers on Bsky. If I wanted to go back to school to become an environmental lawyer, would it be worth it or would it be a ton of debt for an industry that will make me want to die? I've already done academia and media so I'm really trying to avoid the latter for a 3rd time. 😅

There is no KHive-to-fascist-collaborator pipeline. Pete Buttigieg stans stay wonking about progressive policies on the margins. Just sayin’.

Ken Klippenstein is streaming with George Galloway. The Young Turks are hosting RFK Jr. One ex bernie spokesperson is streaming with candace owens and another is defending Nick Fuentes. Brianna Wu is hanging with lauren southern. Maybe now is the time to re-evaluate how the left chooses celebrities.

And arguably what I am enjoying most is that this is not the hero theory of history. We’re not seeing a charismatic leader carry the election through rhetoric and force of personality. We’re seeing populations say: nope. I like the power of nope.

We earnest motherfuckers are gonna make this shit happen — and then we’re going to be delightfully upbeat about it

Anyways, we can do the same here in the USA despite the NYT and with Joe Biden as our candidate. We just gotta organize around the issues and get people out to vote.

England and France voted harder. 🧐

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

*MACRON'S GROUP PROJECTED TO WIN MORE SEATS THAN FAR RIGHT *LEFT ALLIANCE SET FOR 170-215 SEATS IN FRENCH VOTE: ESTIMATES *LE PEN'S GROUP SET FOR 110-158 SEATS IN FRENCH VOTE: ESTIMATES *FRENCH LEFT SET FOR SHOCK ELECTION VICTORY, PROJECTIONS SHOW

NYT says their performance on Threads today was an aberration, & not indicative of deeper problems they've had with social media. Unfortunately, that hasn't satisfied many observers whose concerns are growing louder. The stakes are too high. For the good of the news, the Times should step aside

On election eve “Madam Vice President, have you spoken with Joe today? What did he tell you? Do you think he’s cognizant of the stakes tonight? Do you think he has regrets? Where would we be tonight if he hadn’t stepped down? How will you look back on his debate performance if you lose tomorrow?”

they've already teased that they'll just extend the biden story into grilling harris on "what did you know about biden's senility and when did you know it"

lol

The last week or so, the NYT was getting a ton of blowback on its barrage of BIDEN OLD stories on Threads. Today it seems they disabled their account there?

Today I learned that Fawn Hall, the Ollie North assistant who helped him shred documents related to Iran-Contra, attended Jack Lemmon's 1988 AFI Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony with her date, Rob Lowe. What a world.

Joan Jett’s “Crimson and Clover”really does it for me. “It’s Too Late” on The Isleys Live! is a goddamned cataclysm. The Airborne Toxic Event used to do a stellar take on “Goodbye Horses.” I’d watch GBV play “Baba O’Reilly” 100x. I saw The Roots play “Masters of War” once and it still haunts me.

Other than Hurt by Johnny Cash and any version of The Sound of Silence, what are your favorite cover versions of famous songs?

Oh man I have thoughts about that story about kids bullying their teachers. But the short version is - straight line to the model they’ve been getting from adults in charge all around them + larger distain for education/educators

watching the first BEVERLY HILLS COP and it is always shocking to remember that eddie murphy was 22 when he filmed this. the guy acts on screen like he’s never not been a movie star. it’s extraordinary.

Okay hear me out tho Sanaa Lathan / Paul Rudd revengemantic action comedy.

The Expendables, but instead of action heroes, it's all aging romcom stars. They still kill a bunch of people, though.
