Mark Copelovitch@mcopelov.bsky.social · 1h agoThe problem with this argument is that air travel was not widely accessible, affordable, & available for the masses 40-50 years ago. For many (most?) it's better simply because it exists as a good actually consumed. www.bts.gov/browse-stati...
LMAO. Literally anyone could call Donald Trump and he’d pick up because he’s a demented piece of shit who has a pathological need for constant attention

Journalism has become the art of stubbornly refusing to draw the obvious conclusion
BOURDAIN (voiceover): I found myself surrounded by discarded objects. An empty soda can, a dead battery. Life becomes death. But death can become life. The simmering pot with its spicy aroma in front of me is proof. BOURDAIN: What's in this dish? ME: Pikmin BOURDAIN: Pikmin. Oh man that's good.
In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname
Fascinating for WSJ to have this headline which implicitly suggests business leaders may have had too much influence in the past.
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 16h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
This hairdresser knows the pain we designers feel when a movie has a street sign in 1890s London is in Arial.
Deidre Lynch@drbibliomane.bsky.social · 21h agoYou can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

"the protections of the first amendment" is a phrase used to refer to the special No Yelling at Me force field that mother says i DESERVE :(
Remember folks, it’s always possible to actually stop and verify what you’re asserting before you post! It could save you from looking lazy and misleading.
Fact-checking El-Sayed’s 2024 ‘uncommitted’ stance in MI
A Super PAC ad said Abdul El-Sayed’s support for the 2024 uncommitted movement helped elect Donald Trump. That overstates the movement’s impact on the race and omits that El-Sayed endorsed Kamala Harr...

Delta Nupe@itsnotuitsme1911.bsky.social · 10h agoEl-Sayed won. I’m urging Black Detroiters to STAY HOME and be “uncommitted’ like El-Sayed was for Kamala Harris during the general election. Dearborn voted for TRUMP instead of the Black Lady. I’m encouraging Black Detroit to vote for Jill Stein or Trump , like the Arabs in Dearborn did in 24!
Uncommitted is literally named after an option in the *primaries*. that option does not exist in the general election. the Uncommitted movement all but endorsed Harris in the general election, advising people not to vote for Trump or waste their vote on third party candidates.

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.
my takeaway from AES winning is that he needs to drop anything people liked about him, campaign exactly as if haley stevens won and hate himself and his voters as much as her supporters do - The Politics Whiz

PSA: It's even worse. Craig not only operated a revenge porn website, but he also was engaging in racketeering by secretly running several shell companies that offered a paid service that would remove your revenge porn *from the revenge porn distro sites he owned*.
Roger (6’5”)@iamtherog.com · 2w agoDoes everyone here know that @craigbrittain.com, who is currently masquerading as an anti-MAGA warrior, was fined in 2016 for operating a revenge porn website? A *lot* of y’all follow him. ⚠️ Marked as unsafe. ⚠️ www.ftc.gov/news-events/...
When Trump wins by 2% it's the unanimous Mandate of Heaven for the next 1,000 Year Reich, but when one dude in a Dem primary can't get shooed offstage despite being outspent by a factor of 8.75 fair and square, suddenly it's "divisive?" OK!1!!!1!
ive been putting up with some version of this talking point for my entire life. barely even notice it anymore. imagine if i said this about jews though. there will never be peace in the middle east until jews shed their genetic propensity for violence against mohammedeans. imagine anyone saying that
Whether someone realizes it or not, accepting the "liberal bubble" framing at all is a way of granting the utterly absurd notion that the globally reviled and increasingly unpopular views of the reactionary right are the norm
Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · 2d ago"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.
Probably would've been nice to know this before the 2024 election, but sure
@GottaLaff@gottalaff.bsky.social · 2d agoABC has picked it up now. "Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump's bank accounts in 2021 'for anti-money laundering reasons'"
We are down to one branch of government.
