We have a lot of work to do in '26, but it's really a prelude to all the trash we're gonna have to take out in '28.

Thank you for having me last night, Kacey Musgraves !
hard not to feel proud of this website’s denizens for not falling for the weird Newsom push last year if this turns out to be the case
The most prominent Alberta separatist propaganda I've seen was posted at a rural RV dealership.
Me: *slams buzzer* What is a car dealership? Ken Jennings: Yes! Bizarre little men. You're still in control of the board.
What the absolute fuck
Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly
Mamdani: "What you could see in the videos is bystanders outside unsure as to what they were even seeing. Because in that imagery, it feels as if you’re almost looking at a mass shooter as opposed to seeing someone who’s purportedly representing a federal agency."

Modi has lost it. "The govt has responded by massively increasing the security presence in the capital. Around thirty thousand police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed, internet services have been disrupted, trains to Delhi have been cancelled, metro stations and roads have been closed."
people are saying the Kentucky Wildcats keep winning because they're the only SEC football team actively posting to Bluesky
THAT’S OUR QUARTERBACK 😺
The White Sox in the playoffs before this tweet 4-0 outscoring opponents 20-9 The White Sox after this tweet 0-3 getting outscored 20-8
THE SUPPORTER SECTION IS WALKING OUT. THE POLICE MADE THEM TAKE DOWN THE SIGN. All the normal signs are gone. No "y'all means all." No "trans lives matter." Nothing. It is now quiet. No music, no drums, no chants #AustinFC
#AustinFC supporters say, "No ICE in this melting pot!"
open source and open data as an ethos is largely anti capital and anti authority and is inherently political in ways we need more of
My support for bluesky/atproto is pretty much explicitly a "political" project. It is bad for a small number of (mostly right-wing) people to literally own all the sources of media. Open-source algorithms + the ability to move your account without negative network effects opposes this.
Holy shit they disenfranchised nearly ten percent of the population. It’s like a GOP wet dream

Public anger is growing over an exercise that critics say undermines the world’s largest democracy, particularly disenfranchising Muslims under the Hindu nationalist government.

i can’t believe this picture is a decade old because that means this puppy is a decade old
South Carolina Democrats need to gain just six House seats to break the GOP supermajority in the chamber this year. Getting it done would allow Democrats to block extreme constitutional amendments the Republican supermajority keeps pursuing.
Low-hanging fruit for reporters and Dem trackers: ask a Republican running for office, "what would you do if you were in a car with your child and men in hoodies charged at you with guns drawn?" Follow up with "do you think it's reasonable for a parent in that situation to use lethal force?"
😐
no one reads the articles. all of the quotes assume this is because the party is broke because of (spins wheel) whatever that person is mad about today, but the reason they’re scrambling is because they’re trying to run moonshot campaigns in deep red districts they ordinarily would never attempt

Do Topo Trailventure boots, uh, *exist*? I see reviews for them but nobody actually selling them in my size.
Piece came out at USAToday Why? Because USAToday owners (Gannett) only own media companies, so they have an incentive to attract an audience & advertisers Tech elites like Bezos, Ellisons, Musk, & Benioff use their media firm to cozy to Trump, not to make profit www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
DEI initiatives didn't cost companies. Just the opposite. | Opinion
Firms that kept DEI, whether due to executive decisions or shareholder pressure, performed as well in the stock market as those that rolled it back.

I am old enough to remember when we thought Megan was better than this she’s the one that very publicly left the cult and repudiated their teachings and talked a lot about coming to realize how unjust she had been to queer people, many of whom put in a lot of years to educate her this is gross
This really explains a lot about a lot of things actually. 😂 Anything related to Westboro Baptist Church, in any way, cant be good either.
Paxton’s support isn’t rooted in racism, it’s just an accident that every Paxton text I get is about being white.
