I’m kind of obsessed with this luxury baby-wearing brand where all the parents look very angry they have children
"...Vance not only briefed POLITICO on the state of the Iran deal talks, but spoke to a group of reporters from several news organizations. In exchange for the information, those outlets agreed to grant Vance anonymity. Status, which did not participate in the briefing, is not bound by those rules."
Oliver Darcy@oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 5h agoScoop: The anonymous source behind a POLITICO story that the White House is now using to justify a ban on the outlet was none other than JD Vance himself. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/white-hous...
Wow. Sounds like we should just shut down these companies and stop using it?

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 10h agoJacob Rees-Mogg, the most stereotypically Tory conservative man of the 21st Century, responded to Suella Braverman with a long-form video criticizing her position and rejecting a race-based theory of Englishness, and in response has been ratioed by the increasingly feral British online far-right.
Considering the age of consent is 18 in California, I am genuinely surprised the sex cult didn't put their school in, say, Nevada or Washington, where it's 16.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.com · 11h agoBig names in AI and Silicon Valley tech announced yesterday that they're launching a boarding academy for 16 to 22 year olds. (Would you trust the people in this scene with keeping an eye on minors?) theacademysf.com
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
They had two emergencies at the dentist with two separate assault victims so every twenty minutes someone came in and asked if I was the one who got hit and I had to clarify that yes but I got hit by my daughters head while teaching her to polka and for some reason that disappointed them.
Mayor Bass has not gotten enough heat for this: When ICE was terrorizing Downtown LA, good folks + press showed up to exercise their 1st Amendment rights. What did the Mayor do? She stood quietly by when the LAPD brutalized my neighbors & made things worse with an economically devestating curfew.
Coach Finstock@coachfinstock.bsky.social · yesterdayHOLY SHIT @mayor.lacity.gov is running ads now saying she stood up to ICE and as a parent who is on a phone chain at a school where ICE was terrorizing parents and showing up AT GRADUATION to snag people I say FUCK YOU FUUUUUCK YOUUUU
There's an essay to be written about how the re-appropriation of ill-gotten wealth has been one of the biggest, but also most underrated, accomplishments of Taiwan's democratic transition, and that it is also something that the US can emulate.

Colin from Accounts and Starstruck were two of the best TV romcoms and I’m (already) missing them both. Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammel have such good chemistry!
“The Second Circle” is finished and submitting to fests! In the meantime, we’re looking to create a little buzz leading up to the premiere, so if you are interested in viewing or providing a pull quote, please reach out for a screener! Full trailer here: youtu.be/wW9s39J3ZnU?...
This is clown-car stuff from Sean Duffy lol I just want shit to work again
Evan Simko-Bednarski@simko-bednarski.bsky.social · 2d agoAn Amtrak work crew clipped the new fiber optic cable the feds put in last year, linking air traffic control systems in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Flights were grounded for much of the day.
I know it sounds bad that Gavin Newsom sold out California so Larry Ellison can buy about half of the entire American entertainment industry but to be fair to Newsom, half of that is actually going to be bought by Saudi Arabia
Every once in a while Bill Kristol proclaims on here that he is NOT a fan of democratic socialism or the left and then he's like "yes yes prisonculture you've got excellent points."
Wading into the boiling sea as the killer drones swarm overhead, shouting "This was OPTIONAL!!!"
None of this had to happen. I find myself staring at the wall most days thinking about that now.
The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back www.wsj.com/business/med...
Exclusive | Newsom Expresses Concerns About State Antitrust Suit Against Paramount
The California governor has told people involved in the suit that blocking the $81 billion deal could harm Hollywood jobs.

I think @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov letting this merger go through makes it really difficult for me to vote for him for any office again.
for your future voting knowledge, Gavin Newsom was central in pressuring the AGs to settle their antitrust lawsuit against Paramount:
Done! Paramount Settles Antitrust Suit, Set To Seal Deal For Warner Bros. Discovery
Paramount agreed to settle an antitrust suit by a dozen State Attorneys General led by California's Rob Bonta, the last obstacle to its merger with WBD.

Ok tho but how do you know if you have a dead tooth, because 24 hours later and this shit hurts like hell.
April Wolfe@aprilwolfe.bsky.social · 3d agoMy kid almost knocked out my front tooth learning the polka but it’s worth it. I’ll take a dead tooth for a kid who can polka.
See what I mean, just openly conceding that some people should be barred from some bathrooms as a minor point when that very image was one of the major touching points for the support and opposition to Jim Crow

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people
Does measles also infect you with wanderlust? These people are always on trains and planes.

First eyewitness accounts from this afternoon’s ICE shooting in Austin is here, from freelance reporter Emiliano Tahui Gómez.
Me watching the first episode of Neagley: 😀 The first episode of Neagley: “Drug was administered 40 minutes ago. Core body temp rose 10 minutes later. They all started having sex 5 minutes after that.” Me: 😀
Austin PD says they had EMS on scene in 3 1/2 minutes after report. But they also say police were already there, blocking roads for ICE action? So they could send officers with guns, & then insist they weren't involved in shooting, but they couldn't have EMS on hand?
