New York’s worst kept political secret: Republicans run as conservative Democrats in Blue areas when they know they can’t win as Republicans. You can’t be an opposition party when you’re funded by the opposition.

Tapper is very clearly on a greivance tour against the Democratic Party, which is apparently allowed by most news orgs in the country. Criticizing Republicans as a reporter or anchor though? That'll get you suspended.

Wow — New poll shows Andrew Cuomo's 1-on-1 lead against Zohran Mamdani has shrunk to *just 2 points* 51-49. And this poll was conducted *before* AOC endorsed Mamdani. + Cuomo's lead against Mamdani in the first round of ranked choice voting is now only 7 points.

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

I’ve seen a lot of “the left is blowing this race by uniting behind a socialist like Zohran” takes but not enough “the establishment/center is blowing this race by uniting behind a sexual harasser/corrupt weirdo like Cuomo” takes

New York City is the most popular port of entry for international visitors to the US. And more people historically visit the US from Canada than from any other country. But there’s recent evidence that some Canadians are boycotting the US: cnn.it/45LUhGy

But he did. His open admission is both obvious *and* ridiculous… he apparently has no concerns about legal consequences. Trump’s not gonna do anything. And his fan base won’t demand it either. The integrity of the American legal system is torched. @votecnp.bsky.social

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

This is yet more evidence for the descriptivist rather than the prescriptivist view of language.

This rules for a lot of reasons, but especially because it dispels the myths that A.) old games were never political and B.) games like this are just stories, they aren't "about" anything. Should serve as a reminder to anyone writing about games why we should be close reading 'em.

Good morning✌️🍀

Musician friends - anyone ever use Groover? Is it worthwhile ?

Remember when NFTs were inevitable? The plagiarism bot has more and louder rubes, but it’s just as much a grift, and we don’t have to agree to it.

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans
