"Integration debate isn't over"
Trans debate isn’t over
Am I wrong to think what’s going on here is that is not much more complicated than the GOP has become the white people’s party and that’s enough to control Missouri, despite only having policies that people hate.
NEW: Republicans tried to get Missourians to effectively kill direct democracy and ballot initiatives. Last night, Missourians literally laughed in their face — rejecting the measure by a massive 80% to 20%. Here’s what to know:
"So he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video" is a direct callback to this image that deserves a second life in this campaign
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.
I think Abdul El-Sayed would be a good senator, but on the other hand a lot of stupid racist fuckface shitbags seem to have some concerns, so what do I know?
Honestly, at this point, Democrats should be thrilled with this -- Miller has set himself on fire and if the GOP wants to hold him close, so be it.
Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

Journalism has become the art of stubbornly refusing to draw the obvious conclusion
This is the way. This is ALSO what "Vote blue no matter who" means.
This is the most loser-coded image imaginable, big "villains in an '80s breakdancing movie" energy
JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "
I really hope that all of the people in my feeds who rail against gen-AI flyer art (and rightfully so) and are also horror fans, don’t fall prey to Ice Cream Man now that the reviews are pointing to its abundance of AI effects. Don’t be a contradiction, speak with your wallets here.
I liked One Night Only better when it was called Trick and featured two characters who faced actual legal repercussions for having sex (in certain states). #filmsky 📽
Come up with a second joke. I’m begging you!
JFC! Clay Travis: "I am putting in an application to get a WNBA franchise for my home, Nashville. It’s going to be the most inclusive team that has ever existed. Only trans. Only men who identify as women on the team. Our motto: one love, two balls. The Nashville Balls... The best women are men."
Miller is like a walking K-Tel record titled "Golden Classics of Domestic Violence." Track 1: "She's Crazy!" Track 2: "Those Lying Bitches" Track 3: "Parental Alienation Blues" Track 4: "Where's My Due Process?" Track 5: "Actually, She Abused Me" Track 6: "It Takes Two to Tango"
MAX MILLER: She's 2.5 years old. She doesn't have the ability to articulate what you just said. TAPPER: But you just told me that she said she was scared to go to mommy's house. Now you're saying she's not capable of saying "Daddy kill you"? MILLER: What about due process?
Sad to report that AC Barbecue, Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainer’s excellent sandwich and ribs place in the Century City mall food court, is no more. This city sucks at keeping good new BBQ joints open. (RIP Slab.)

Who on the fucking planet is even talking about Joe Biden running for the presidency again? Who cares about *his* mental capabilities in the year 2026? Only Whiskey Tony could think this is an important question that must, must, must be asked and answered. What an unbelievable clown.
Are you kidding me with this? THESE are the pressing questions of the day right now for the lead anchor at CBS NEWS? Covid & Joe Biden are his top 2 before anything Trump? Come the f*ck on. variety.com/2026/tv/news...
If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"
Is it true that Weiss and Ellison privately joke that "CBS" now stands for "Children Be Sexy"? It's impossible to say just yet. But given all the work they've done to shield all the pedophiles in the Trump administration from the Epstein Files story, we just can't rule it out.
Why are Bari Weiss and David Ellison manipulating the news to protect child rapist Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplices? Possibly connected to how Weiss pushed to hire Epstein friend Peter Attia?

In the spirit of Zeus’ law, I’m honored to welcome Emily Wilson to the land of film criticism. As she’s learned, it’s an adventure that sails smack into islands of musky internet trolls and clashes with cinematic and literary titans. I'm here to broker a truce. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
Yes, Emily Wilson, Odysseus has been changed for the movie. Deal with it
Critical swords are clashing, but there's a way to cut through the debate and really talk about how we review art.

"Unfortunately, I can't give anyone a view into my heart and mind." Why? Are you unfamiliar with them? Ellison's whole "I'm not allowed to express my specific political opinions here, but trust me" approach is transparent nonsense. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/o...

When Whitehouse is on, he's on. This is a flamethrower.
