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."

Catching up on my New Yorkers today and based on her piece about reality stars unionizing I’m even more fucking excited for @emilynussbaum.bsky.social’s “Cue the Sun”!!!

UK and France have both defeated their right wing parties in elections this year. The US needs to get its shit together.

This is super important work. And it looks like it's actually having an effect. Normal people learn about Project 2025 and are scared as shitless as they should be. The Nation, The New Republic, Rolling Stone, Boston Review and others are doing the work that NYT and WaPo are neglecting.

We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this. www.bostonreview.net/articles/ins... www.mediamatters.org/project-2025

This is akin to being mauled to death by penguins. Spectacular.

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.

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

Philly Inquirer continue to keep it legit. Biden is being held to a standard that Trump isn't. Fuck you all.

NYT: Joe should quit, he stutters Philly Inquirer: Trump is a fucking criminal what the fuck are we doing here

The lingering focus on Biden’s shaky debate obscures Trump’s major verbal miscues | Editorialwww.inquirer.com The president must now convince voters he has the mental acuity to do the toughest job in the world. The same bar does not exist for Trump, who loses no points for incoherence or incompetence.

I would like to live someplace where Nazis don’t weekend

Oof but the critiques in this season do not hold up! I ache for these women!

Have reached season 3 of America’s Next Top Model, which I think we can all agree was where this show hit its stride, and also I think we should bring back wearing bootleg jeans under dresses, don’t @ me

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

Organizers got enough signatures to put a measure protecting abortion on the ballot in Arkansas. In *Arkansas*. They had *no national support*. Ignore the pundits melting down over not being treated as Very Special Boys. Dobbs has fundamentally changed elections. Everything they know is wrong.

Arkansas abortion rights groups collect enough signatures to advance ballot measurewww.nbcnews.com A measure to enshrine abortion rights in the ruby red state’s constitution is now one step closer to making the November ballot — but major obstacles remain.

Did a good job pushing through his existential dread this holiday weekend. Hope you did too. #cowdog #supermutt

Also I really hope all of you are finding an utterly brainless way to disconnect from our current reality where and whenever you can. Do the work first, always do the work. But you’re not obligated to let it consume you. It’s ok.

You’ll never guess which of the two candidates is a convicted rapist.

“The undisputed kale-eating champion of the world”

Ok I think they just put those other people on stage with the Nathan’s chugging champion to make it look like it was real. No one is ever beating that guy.

imagine feeling patriotic!

And even if we agree that our nation’s many fine Professional Opinion Havers are in the can for that demon, how can all of them - ALL OF THEM - just tuck those details away and push ahead with their narrative? I barely glanced at it and I’ll never forget it, never be able to make it go away.

There’s a deposition going around on the other place w explicit details of America’s Fave Convicted Felon doing unspeakable things to children in the Epstein era. Dudes who are sick enough to do that shit don’t just stop bc their dealer is gone. They find another dealer. How did we get so far gone.

My one simple trick for perfect flame-grilled steak on a gas grill: forget to clean it every summer

Feels like the Fourth should be rescheduled this year, just not really in the mood to huddle with my terrified dog because America Fuck Yeah right now

Don’t know what else to do so I guess I’ll binge season 2 of America’s Next Top Model and disassociate for a while

if Biden announced that he was ordering the IRS to end all audits of people making less than $100,000 and ordering audits of all billionaires that would be something he could do

After the Court’s decision yesterday, I think there’s an argument from necessity for Biden seizing Trump and trying him by military tribunal, given the sudden unavailability of Article III courts. Plus, itʼs just the sort of thing they’ve authorized an active and energetic chief executive to do.

Oh shit Alexi just gave the USWNT a backhanded compliment, I should probably go to bed

So excited to hear Alexi Lalas and Carli Lloyd say awful hurtful things about the men’s side in the postgame oh wait I’m being told they’ll never do that
