The rides at Six Flags are great, but the game prizes are even better.

I hate it when they are hilarious, even if it's unintentional.

Well dammit how many times is my heart going to get ripped out this week?

I know you're sick of good news from NYC, but hear me out... ICYDK, this is *monumental*. This station has been a left for dead lost cause for *decades*. This is legit screaming, crying, throwing up level reaction-worthy. You couldn't sell democratic socialism better except maybe with free puppies.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3w agoAs Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said yesterday, “the original J/Z isn’t doing so well.” That’s why we’re working with Governor Kathy Hochul — using congestion pricing funds to renovate Chambers Street and partnering with the MTA to tackle extreme heat in our subway stations.
1. Last night's announcement was whiny. It was bratty, even unmanly.
A Mamdani skill that doesn’t get enough attention is he is very good at striking the right balance of fun and gravitas on many subjects. People care a lot about fun stuff that “serious” politicians dismiss or don’t even notice.
The convenient finger pointing over whether liberals or leftists are responsible for Platner would be funny if not so pathetic. The fact is support for him was dotted across the Dem spectrum. The common denominators were misogyny and a willingness to at least play footsie with white supremacy.
“I destroyed my beautiful totenkopf, and they want me to drop out?!”
Happy Fathers Day, whatever that means to you. And my equal parts sympathy and congratulations to those of you who do not have a father who once said “If anything happens to my daughter in this car, I will find you” to the clueless guy who just agreed to replace a worn tire on the car you bought.
This sack of shit. And it’s long past the time to stop making excuses for MAGA and anti-vax assholes who love Trump and their conspiracy theories more than their own children.

“Why’s it taking so long to take down the name when they put it up so fast?” yeah, undoing every single thing he’s done is gonna be exactly like that, get used to it

Can booing induce a rage-stroke? Not asking for any particular reason, just curious.
They seem few and far between, but there are still good things happening.
Leah McElrath@leahmcelrath.bsky.social · 3mo agoWe have Hunter Biden / @dieworkwear.bsky.social crossover:
This x100. If I never hear "kitchen table issues" again it will be too soon. It's a trap set for Dems by shitty media that has made clear the only voters they feel are worth talking to those who still love Trump despite the cost of everything. Dem leadership needs to stop falling for it.
Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com · 4mo agoHere's the thing: the GOP made a bigger deal of "social issues" than the Democrats. The GOP was the one demonizing trans people and talking about the end of DEI. The Democrats were the ones...not responding.
The financial corruption stays dialed up to 11 and will only get worse as the right scrambles to make up the loss of the Orban slush fund.
Ryan Enos@ryanenos.bsky.social · 4mo agoI say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.
I get that we have a septuagenarian problem in our government, but I do think we should require that people complete puberty before they can take office.
