“Sex Purge” is a fuckin Andy Dwyer ass idea. Produced by Entertainment 7twenty. Featuring original music by Mouse Rat
I'm weirdly upset by Stevens's gracious concession, because it makes her lie from just a few days ago that AES harbors personal animus against Jewish ppl all the more transparent. We should discourage lying to inflame tensions against two targeted religious minorities for personal political gain imo
This is team player shit, beat the bad guys shit. I love it. No fucking around with it, just let's go.
I encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.
Kicked this build off with the GWP sorbet: Scully's Lab.
If you were waiting up for this, you already know this, but the Lego X-Files set just went live.
Abdul El-Sayed has won, NBC News says. And there are other wins for the left in Michigan: —William Lawrence wins his U.S. House primary. —A DSA-backed candidate is leading a Democratic incumbent for state House. —Abbas Alawieh, co-founder of Uncommitted, leads for state Senate.
Tonight we find out whether Michigan voters are bluesky posters or bluesky replyers
might be a bit less cooked than we all thought, I think El-Sayed wins but this is gonna be closer than we thought the last minute freakout may have made a pro-Stevens difference, though *probably* not enough
ANYWAY she's down 6 and still has a shot at winning because she's doing better in rural MI than anticipated and still could mop up in Detroit
Max Miller story is providing incredible cover for the 65 year old NC Republican congressman who was just found to have been texting his female staff shit like "I had to leave the party because you brought your bf with you 🥺"
the ragnarok lobster guy deleted all his posts about how haley stevens was gonna win. that’s how cold politics is. ragnarok lobster is abandoning you before the polls even close
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.
You can look at this and think it’s a funny little aside, but I think this is a perfect encapsulation of how fundamentally the Democratic electorate has changed.
Tom Perriello was the original progressive winning in a swing seat. He voted for the ACA with no regrets and lost in 2010, but so did all the middle-of-the-road Rahm recruits
Former Rep. Tom Perriello will win the Democratic primary in Virginia's 5th Congressional District, CNN's Decision Desk projects. Follow live updates: https://cnn.it/4wbZT6y
Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion
Not sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.
A new deal on balcony solar just dropped in the US
Plug-in panels can lower your bills. To boost the American market for the tech, nonprofit Bright Saver is selling kits with no markup, starting at around…

couple months ago: let's show these assholes why americans are drowning in medical and other personal debt now: wait what we don't even have the weaponry now either
They know voters hate this shit. So they wait until Blanche has the votes for Collins to come out against him. So she can claim to be a moderate. So she gets reelected. So she can spend the next two years voting for more Todd Blanches.
Susan comes out against Todd Blanche now that he's got the votes. So tiresome. (We called it: tinyurl.com/3bepafkz) #MEpolitics
i don't think the occupation is driven or even backstopped by EDM, no
"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Hey is it good for democracy when an illegal secret police force operating on the orders of a wannabe dictator tracks down its critics
this is an example of what is, for me, the grimmest reality of what Sam Altman inflicted on us all: the joy of discovery is ruined now. you can't receive a thing now without at least a flicker of "wait did a person make this or did Sam's Suckerfish shit it out"
Almost as depressing as people using AI to write: People who have apparently read so little decent writing that they believe utterly commonplace tools every minimally competent writer employs are AI tells.

This is for no one. Whether you like it or not, ESPN, MAGA doesn't watch football. They don't watch sports. They bitch about sports. They wear jeans to the beach. They are, to a man, losers. You're fucking the dog on this
