not that this is mutually exclusive with the abatement of MeToo, but I’ve also wondered about this and am curious to what extent it might be: 1) Cuomo’s popularity with black voters and those voters being majority women 2) the perception that Cuomo is better on public safety

I remember being in middle school in the early 00's and a teacher getting mad because some girls were singing "voulez-vous coucher avec moi" from the Moulin Rouge cover of "Lady Marmalade" and I have to imagine the original Labelle version caused the same basic reaction if not more so

lol, it feels like he really wanted to end this with “because you’re gonna be calling me mayor” or something like that but maybe realized that would bite him in the ass if he loses and he demurred, which I definitely get but it slightly hobbles the rhythm

It’s almost like writing a blank check for someone after they make clear they’ll cash it for infinity dollars is a bad idea.

“there’s not gonna be an election” no one is making you stay here and post about politics if you think it’s truly over. go ride a bike.

I will say that, as a person who does actually think the optics of violence are bad, the GOP is fucking terrible at it

dozens of people yelling at Cooper here that they don't care about "normal people" and man, I don't know what to tell you - if you ran a grocery store and only your friends showed up, you'd be in *trouble*

Extremely critical support for the Party of Socialism and Liberation here, the charges against them are basically just charges against speech fueled by conspiracy theories.

this has always been one of my favorite opening lines in a song - really pulls you in and sets the scene immediately: www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3GP...

this may come across as willfully negligent, but I don’t actually think it’s good that this happens. current events info is good but entire tenor of the site should not be dictated by news junkies caught in doom loops; it needs to have a base of not-plugged-in users keeping it diverse.

Vance: “haha, so is this the one where Todd is recognized from his old life by Pirelli? not like I, uh, watch this fruity stuff” Trump, blasting EVITA at full volume, disassociating and forgetting he’s talking to Vance: “do you think I could I make what happened to you look like an accident”

hogg out at DNC

does anyone know what language the woman is speaking here? this is in a kid’s book we have called “The Interpreter” (good book, btw), most of which is in Spanish and English, but this is some MENA-based language. googling the phrase didn’t help.

Obamadon be like "uhhhh let me be clear" *kills and eats a compsognathus*
