Yes but/and it's the same party that demotes the old guard after term limits or resignations rather than promoting new blood and letting the old guard just get consulting jobs like normal retired politicians

Yet Luigi launched a thousand hand-wringing op-eds from the chattering class. Makes you think

Do other states regularly give Democratic machine candidates demotions after term limits/resignations rather than promoting younger people? Or is this a NY thing Cf -Gale Brewer, former Manhattan boro pres, now UWS City council rep -Andrew Cuomo

The COO of the super PAC that's spending millions to smear Mamdani is a longtime Adams Administration appointee??

Happy pride, and thank you to the woman who let me take this photo of her shirt

"raccoons in the treehouse" seems like a good metaphor for how these xenophobic bigots brains have been rewired.

Doing a popup for pride tonight that is not proving financially successful at all but I get to do some bouldering, which I haven't in a long time, and also had a guy tell me he works for "a book company" so now I get to wonder what he means by that.

Here's MY soft boy who is sensitive, charismatic, and entirely devoted to food. He also loves veggies as long as they are crunchy.

AND YET it only works on readers from a very narrow age range because apparently schools stopped assigning Jacob Have I Loved by the late '90s

Also there's plenty of shit I've learned about on Last Week. I did not know about how deadly tasers can be! Or about the Alliance Defending Freedom! Also also it's not like he's the most leftist voice in the room (cf the recent trans athletes episode)

I've never heard a specific term for it in publishing (and bookselling) but it is definitely a thing.

Seriously, at this point you should have a medical mask with you when you leave the house the same way you have some chapstick or your house key. Bring it along, put if on if someone nearby starts coughing. If you're sick, stay home if possible and mask up if you can't.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

RICK MORANIS HAS SIGNED ON???? Please tell me letterboxd is not lyinhy about that

If my dog could open our apartment door and then the building's doors to the street, there is a long list of businesses he would wait outside of for treats, tater tots, gnocchi, patatas bravas, etc

I know at least one person who for a while did have his car registered in SD and an account with a mail service there that would pass things to his actual home as a money saving/tax dodge ploy.

Friendly reminder! If you want to support the right to read by purchasing a banned book or taking it out from the library your impact will be much greater if you choose a living author. Orwell is great and all, but he's not doing much with your money.

This paradigm makes me feel better about how I chose the courses I took ~25 years ago (I picked a major that I would enjoy and had as few requirements as possible so I could fill in my schedule with the widest variety of unrelated classes)

I know we're talking about other things but WHY DID OPRAH JUST GIVE A TONY TO SOMEONE WHO IS NOT AUDRA DID THE THEATRE WING NOT SEE THE SAME PERFORMANCE I DID

more support needed, please get there if you can and share if you can’t

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Here I am debating if it's unethical to keep the first volume of Harry Potter on the shelves for the young kids who will ask for it and whose education about trans rights is not my responsibility when I funnel the dwindling profits to a local trans org

I've seen this fact learned multiple times and it's always exactly this reaction

Here's the (very reputable) student paper writing up the initial incident, clarifying that the "conservative student newspaper" has been inactive for 10 years and Shieh presenting himself as a journalist was misleading at best www.browndailyherald.com/article/2025...
