The newly elected freshmen have a chance to do… maybe not the funniest thing ever… but it’d be pretty funny.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has won the race for New York's 8th Congressional District. He is poised to become the first Black Speaker of the House.

What is the opposite of doomscrolling?

Listening to The Press Box, @joelanderson.bsky.social said, “This country is not what we think we are if we don’t have the Voting Rights Act.” Just a single damning statement that too few people grasp. He followed up w/ Trump’s obsession with asses of all genders lately, so… something for everyone!

@jowrotethis.bsky.social When you talk about cringe factor with shows… were you a Friends fan and when they leaned into Ross (specifically) getting into cringe setups, did it make you not want to watch? I’ve never been able to put into words why I can’t do certain shows (NFY is top of the list.)

@howardbeck.bsky.social The 30 seconds on The Bermanator in the pod felt like it was to an audience of like, 50 - and damn am I glad I was one of them. I even imagined the Marc mumble. 😂

First, @pablo.show came for the richest owner in sports. I said nothing because fuck the oligarchy. Then Pablo came for Tim Tebow. I said nothing because fuck that fraud. Then Pablo came for Bill Cosby. I said nothing because fuck him & his pudding pops. Then Pablo came for Magic and I…“OH COME ON!”

Super niche and nerdy (just how you like it, amirite?)… but does anyone else in the world hear Sweet Freedom by the legend Michael McDonald and after thinking of Gregory Hines & Billy Crystal AT FIRST; hears him say “Always searching for the real thing…” and thinks of the Pepsi ad campaign?

“Meow” card, number 12… meow.

Mike Dean claims he played secret games for a laugh while refereeing matches

I have, like, 1000, but… “Maybe I caught the acting bug when I was sitting on Brooke Shields’s lap.” (Context: I was a child.)

Perhaps the strangest line of autobiography I could write is: “I had an odd experience with Ahmet Zappa while videoing him interview Adam Duritz at the headquarters of the legal version of Napster.” Yours?

Old school twitter-style confessional here: 50 is fucking. me. up. Not sure why, but a lot of trauma and emotions hitting differently. Hell, it’s only been 11 minutes. 😂

@ramonaespn.bsky.social Is this for the Lakers scoop? Nope. Is this for the fast turnaround on the story? Nope. Is this for the perfectly timed burn on @bannedmacmahon.bsky.social ? Abso-f’ing-lutely. (Love ya, Tim.)

The first Cuban I ever had in Miami. The first mojito and churrasco steak I had from a restaurant on 96th & 2nd. The original hot dogs at old Yankee Stadium. I could go on and on…

I don't want to hear about your lost loves, tell me about the restaurant food that haunts you because you'll never be able to taste it again

Watched Dink last night. Cute enough, a couple decent laughs. It’s basically Temu-Happy Gilmore.

The fucking balls.

HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.

ICYMI, I have partnered with Bindery Books to build a progressive, diverse, ballsy romance publishing imprint! But I need your support to make it happen. I'm 75 subscribers away from my goal. Can you help me?

Ella Dawson@brosandprose.bsky.social · 4mo ago

I can finally announce that I was invited to become a @binderybooks.bsky.social tastemaker! The Rebel Ever After community will live on the Bindery platform for book lovers — and we have the opportunity to start our very own romance imprint. rebeleverafter.binderybooks.com

Don’t know if any baseball-fan followers are near Cooperstown, but if you are, this should be a great event!

A reminder, two days from now, 1:00 p.m. at the Baseball Discovery Zone. Come for a book chat, stay for the wonder of the Hall of Fame!

🌄 COMING UP 🌄 📡 twitch.tv/manicsocratic 📡 Back at it again on Thursday 7/30 with some Playstation 2 action! Final Fantasy 9 continues on the usual Friday and Sunday weekend time slots. Sega Genesis next week. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Let's live the retro dream!

We can't let this one fail. Movies like Transformers One and D&D Honor Among Thieves died on the vine because word of mouth didn't spread fast enough. The cast of CvA have had so many interviews where they talked about how much they loved this movie. It's gonna be so great.

Final trailer for ‘COYOTE VS. ACME’ has been released. In theaters August 28. #CoyoteVsAcme

I’m sure it would cost me the election, but if I were running in this cycle, I would be way too eager to respond with, “and much like Olive Garden isn’t real Italian food, voter fraud requiring these measures isn’t a real issue.”

@minakimes.bsky.social re: Hitch rewatchables. I told my fiancé when we first started dating: the difference between charming and stalking/creepy is whether you think the guy is an 8 or a 5.

Me yesterday: This is the worst day I’ve had in awhile. My stomach this morning two minutes before clock-in: BET.

I’ll be honest, had I known the Piff show at Flamingo was going to be filled with the most obnoxious children in history, I would not have chosen this for our show to see.

I’ve been shaving my dome since Stone Cold made it cool for the second time. (Telly Savales obviously the first).

The Pitbull effect: bald guy summer is here – and it’s sexy, single and ready to mingle

I’m not saying I’m high, but… I had a 10 minute existential crisis when I saw a bird land awkwardly, then have 2 aborted takeoffs, then just flap on the ground as I was approaching from a good distance away. Try to save it? Put it out of its misery? Let nature decide? My decision was:

Watching the people in this bar react to this Cup game really helps me understand how we are in the political situation we are in.

Yup. Talia, Maria, and countless others (MOSTLY WOMEN OF COURSE) have called this from the start. What a disgrace.

i don’t think anyone who needs to hear it will care to hear a reminder that you don’t need to do sex pest apologia, nor do you need to do nazi tat apologia, nor do you need to dismiss previous complaints of weird rhetoric about raping people to assert dominance. you can choose not to do any of that.

Anyone have any healthy strategies for high anxiety dogs during this stressful weekend of kabooms?

The Washington Wizards have waived two-way forward Leaky Black.

A fucking Republican-lite Nazi wins a primary: “Blue no matter who! Take all our money and resources!” A DSA/WFP candidate who was a teacher, a nurse, and served in a soup kitchen wins a primary: “I’m leaving the f’ing party! I’m politically homeless! God, what have you done?!”
