Lander deserves a ton of respect for his willingness to subordinate his desires to blow up a genuinely evil man's campaign.

Part of Zohran’s strength was a positive vision rather than an alternative to something worse but I think a lot of awful people were really banking on a result that allowed them to definitively close the book on the idea that MeToo shit is disqualifying, I wish them a harrowing night

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

The bar is such that "craven sex pest asshole who hates everyone and clearly does not want to put in the work loses a popularity contest" is a cool drink on a hot day

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.

there's not that many explanations at this point for the NYT's hallucinatory coverage of Trump. they like him, Occam's Razor. all that "they're reacting to right wing claims of bias" nonsense was cover for the reality that they want to cover Trump like he's their god king

Thank goodness we’re taking on those bizarre religious zealots in (checks notes) Iran.

"The entire 165-page [AG] report ... includes interviews with 179 witnesses and a review of tens of thousands of documents. It details sexual harassment of [Andrew Cuomo's] own staff in addition to other state employees—which includes a state trooper—as well as members of the public."

Honestly, even the Chinese and Russians never made me do this to get a visa. Even the North Koreans, who made me hand over my phone for the duration of my visit, never made this demand.

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

🚨The Florida government is going to tear down Everglades wetlands so they can build a tent camp in the swamp to fuel Trump's mass deportation operations — and they’re going to get money from Trump that Congress intended for humanitarian care to recently arrived-migrants.

Elon Musk is one of the worst mass murderers of the 21st Century.

Kai Winn, failed emissary of the Pah Wraiths just endorsed Cuomo.

Whenever I open up BlueSky

"Iranians oppress women and LGBTQ people"-person who also does that

"It's deeper than a critique of journalists. You can say, 'Fine. 'Both sides.' The left is unhappy w/ how the media covers things.' But it’s a systemic problem. Our political institutions are uniquely unable to deal w/ the rise of what is now a far-right authoritarian party" — @mcopelov.bsky.social

WSJ reports BNPL borrowing will now appear as part of a FICO score. www.wsj.com/personal-fin...

Hey guess what

Hours later isnt enough space to tolerate the free throw merchant parade.

Hard life innit 😹 #ginger #cat #catsofbluesky

congrats Mac and Me (1988), you are more popular than war with Iran

“forget about intelligence” is what should be on those dumb red hats

Please don't laugh this is like the first time I've made Mac abd cheese and not managed to commit a minor war crime against the pan. I cant seem to work with cheese. Condensed milk in the roux was the key.

Tanked the economy, enacted ridiculous tariffs because he’s not smart enough to understand how they work and got us into a war that wasn’t ours all in less than 6 months. This is what they call a president. Where are the Nobel piece prize maga-ts?

All right Indiana. Time to #FeverUp and #Boom for our other hoopers.

It wasn’t sexy enough for people to say. But we will. Thank you #YesCers #ThunderUp for the #NBAFinals treat. Party it up #OKC because “champs” is forever. 🫡

Indiana now offers up #TheFever to the basketball gods. Avenge us with a title run. #TheBaddieGuard #CaitlinClark #IoawaAlums

Siakam: “A couple of years ago, basketball was not fun for me and it was pretty dark” then goes on to how being traded to the Pacers lifted his spirits and love for the game. Not doing justice to how long & thoughtful his answer was, but Pascal is a real one.
