If beshear had the courage, he would force Max Miller to drop out.
This gives voters too much credit, I think.
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 2h agoa reason that Stevens lost and other AIPAC candidates are losing despite the huge infusions of money is that Dem voters don't want to vote for a candidate who is funded by the same org who will immediately turn around and fund the Republicans
You will never get me to have strong feels about who Katie Hobbs picks as a lieutenant governor. I sleep in a big bed with my wife.
Just realized I’ve been confusing Samantha Mathis for Samantha Morton for YEARS. me: remember how great she was in The Music of Chance? friend: “”
regardless of which candidate you support I really hate this bit where pundits pretend being electable in a primary makes you electable in the general election just ask senators Hershel Walker, Blake Masters, Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, and Sharron Angle how that worked out for them
learned a ton about policy & got to interview Bill Bradley, which was a trip.

In a song that became a hit for the Kingston Trio in 1959, she conjured up an Everyman who is trapped by Boston’s subway system. He still hasn’t returned.

it's true that there are two sides to every story, and one of those sides is often dumb as shit.
Nothing more Bluesky than the CEO of the company being like “We still plan on fulfilling our founding mission“ and all the OG posters absolutely losing their minds
Everything about this is so good. The restrained performance by a perfectly nondescript librarian who doesn't try to play it for laughs. The canned PSA music track. The final cutaway to the victim's seemingly dead body. The simplicity of it all. A+
Very rare for AOC to flail like this. Swing and a miss.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d agoThere is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.
please do not share posts by Rachel Bitecofer unless it’s for the purpose of mockery. Thanks in advance.
would love to see this from a pollster I’ve heard of

I’ve got no love for centrist Democrats, but most are far less insane than Rachel Bitecofer.
took the family to see the new horror movie about the hubris of empire and Anne Hathaway was as great as advertised.
You know what’s cool? Sharing links to the original story instead of just a fucking screencap.
I expect they both also overestimate their unique importance and do not realize their only purpose is as a reliable partisan vote.
Widow's Bay DSA@gonebabygone.bsky.social · 3d agoMax Miller and Platner have in common the misapprehension that you can make a reassuring “what had happened was” video about abuse allegations
top thing We Should Have Done With COVID is not have a stupid electorate that believed Trump being in office during a pandemic was a good idea. The die was cast.
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 3d agothe most annoying thing about the What We Should Have Done With COVID discourse is that the actual viable option to accept more health risk in exchange for less disruption was not to rawdog the plague, it was to push the vaccine wide earlier with worse trial data
This is why I got annoyed with people calling me names for not flaying for the times. If only times subscribers voted we'd have a progressive utopia by the way .
I had a long, honestly pretty spectacular conversation with Antonio Banderas (!!!!) and i think you will really enjoy reading it www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
Antonio Banderas’s Acts of Faith
Antonio Banderas on meeting Stephen Sondheim, staging “Godspell” for the Pope, and the thrill, in the new Anthony Bourdain bio-pic, of playing someone “good.”

all else aside, any statement that contains “I have the ring doorbell footage that backs it up” is pure psycho
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3d agoRep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
I say this in my workshops - you might start in a day, a week, a year, whenever the moment strikes … but the skills will be there.
My worry about El-Sayed is his messaging is reminiscent of Sanders’ second campaign—he’s acting like he doesn’t need to do persuasion. You can tell me I’m wrong, but that’s the vibe I get in every interview.
The only good Republican politician is a half-dead, non-voting Republican politician.
