Inside the Michigan Senate primary that could reshape the Democratic Party
The insurgent bid of Abdul El-Sayed against Rep. Haley Stevens has become a fight over the party's future — and an expensive test of the role of outside money.

The Durutti Column's first album in 16 years is a celestial lap of honour for Vini Reilly and his long-time collaborators Keir Stewart and Bruce Mitchell, held together by that languid melancholia that's been thick in the Didsbury air since 1978…✨ boomkat.com/products/ren...
Following everybody who skeets Durutti Column today. We are soooooo lucky
obsessed with Ian Flemming's daily schedule - swim - brunch - write 1500 words no edits just freestyle - lobster hunting - pink gin - lunch - siesta - sit in garden - another swim - 500 more words - "a couple of powerful drinks" - dinner - scrabble with wife - sleep
Surely the solution here is just *don't use AI tools* for your writing and research and continue to do your writing and research in ALL the ways you were doing it before you started using AI instead of doing the work??
![Perplexity gloss on some of the chudflair: The patches mix Crusader / Knights Templar symbolism with a couple of tech‑culture jokes, and at least some of the imagery has current far‑right / extremist associations in addition to historical meanings.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
## “Deus vult” patch
- “Deus vult” is Latin for “God wills it.” It was a rallying cry of the First Crusade in the 11th century and is tightly linked to medieval Christian holy‑war ideology.[3][6][1]
- In the 21st century the phrase has been widely adopted by Christian‑nationalist, alt‑right, and neo‑Nazi groups as a slogan against Muslims and non‑Christians, which is why seeing it on modern clothing or gear often signals that political alignment or at least an affinity with Crusader nostalgia.[2][5][1][3]
## Templar cross / “Knights Templar” imagery
- The red cross on a white field is the emblem of the medieval Knights Templar, a military monastic order formed during the Crusades; on patches and gear it’s usually marketed as “Templar” or “Crusader” symbolism.[4][7][8]
- Contemporary extremist and white‑nationalist groups have co‑opted both the Templar cross and related “Templar” graphics as substitutes for more overt Nazi symbols, using them to evoke Christian warrior identity and anti‑Islam sentiment.[5][9][10][4]
## “404 Not Found” patch
- “404 Not Found” is an HTTP status code used on the web to indicate that a requested resource does not exist; on clothing or backpacks it’s a common geek / programmer joke implying absence or error (e.g., “mind not found,” “social skills not found”).[11][12][13][14]
- In this context it looks like a standard tech‑humor morale patch, visually echoing programming and web‑developer culture rather than any political or historical reference.[11]
## Overall read of the backpack
- Taken together, the Crusader / Templar and “Deus vult” patches point to an interest in Crusades‑era martial Christianity or in modern online subcultures that romanticize it, with a real ove…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hgvocfquyr7hknru7t7n3cxk/bafkreiezgq6o7hffcvajhy6rmjjcvp3tzgeczjr7mbqqt34a3dqrxz4nam)

Found this on Tumblr with the caption, "Saw a fire, stopped his car, got out and Madonna'd the fuck out of those flames". I want him carnally.
