Why the Democratic Establishment Can’t Win Over Young Voters
A new bloc of young, college-educated voters has emerged in the U.S.’s political landscape, Jay Caspian Kang observes. They don’t have much faith in the Democratic establishment.

I didn't want to spend my Sunday afternoon writing to pet insurance @petsbest.bsky.social asking why every claim for my dog was denied due to insufficient information from @dovelewispdx.bsky.social and BluePearl Pet Hopsital, but I live in America, so here we are.
A fun Friday work activity is forgetting to mute 🎙️ in a recorded meeting so the call transcript randomly reads a line with you telling your dog 🐶 you love them and it will be saved for all eternity #Microsoft #Teams #Zoom #remotework #whoops
Love waking up to these magic summer morning views.
I know my dog loves me by the way he sighs, gets up, and leaves the room whenever I sit down next to him.
Aubie is feeling very poorly this week. And now his most recent medication makes it hard to tell what’s real.
This is a very cool cake that a friend made for @jacobgrier.bsky.social . Even though it looks like a regular bowl of cereal, it’s cake.
I really can’t get over the fact that @polymarket.extwitter.link is a crypto betting platform and not a polyamorous dating app.
This is a massive failure for the victims and for all women who live in Portland. Two years of probation for attempting to rape six women in broad daylight at a public park. One of the victims was 74 years old. That is not enough. katu.com/news/local/v...

Aubie! While we still do not know the full cause of his ongoing illness, it makes me very happy that he’s feeling better on medication and showing more pep. Look at him trying to shepherd me outside with the temptation of a very fun ball. A ball he knows is supposed to be for indoor use only.

Not having his best week. He’s too tired to play with his favorite outdoor ball.
buddy, do I look like I wanna retain the 9-slice scaling option for symbols
Medicated and feeling mad we don’t let him into the scary basement
We are on day 11 of Aubie’s mystery illness. Throughout it he seems fine one day and terrible the next, throwing up, whimpering, and very lethargic. Three visits, x-rays, oral exams, and an ultrasound have not solved it. On Wednesday he finally gets the endoscopy I asked for June 17. Wish us luck.
They’re claiming that this dog showed up uninvited to a child’s birthday party in a Reykjavík suburb and stole a ball. I see no evidence to support that.
Send good wishes for Aubie. He’s been in the hospital three times in a week and hasn’t been himself at all. Poor little bean.
Anyone with recommendations for a leafy restaurant patio in Des Moines? #DesMoines #Iowa #patio #summer
June has truly been the most eventful month of my life in several years, and there’s still a week left.
In case you were wondering how to impress Midwestern folks: May I suggest a story about how you went too hard at age 13 at an Olive Garden, pounded five glasses of whole milk, and threw up at the table. Guffaws does not even begin to describe it. #milk #iowa #olivegarden #theunlimitedmilkhasalimit
Our dog found a very good stick at the park this evening.
Every time I watch adverts on a subscription service I already pay money to access a part of me withers and sharpens with rage.
Bluesky, asking for your recommendations for Warsaw, Stockholm (especially the archipelago), and Amsterdam. I've spent a little time in each but don't know any of the cities super well.
There’s a raccoon 🦝 in our neighborhood that’s been feasting on bird eggs 🪺 and nestlings 🐦. I’ve never thought seriously about hunting until today, after hearing the screams.
