The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 16h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Sorry wait are they making The Purge but for fucking

it’s cool that the richest man on earth can kill a million people by cutting federal funding despite not being in the government and can just crash shit into the moon willy nilly this is all cool, to me
Just to make the point abundantly clear, Chris Wallace is now a paid advisor to an investment firm that has a large stake in Paramount and a vested interest in getting the Warner Bros. merger over the line. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
Chris Wallace: States Are Playing Politics With the Law to Block Paramount’s Warner Bros. Deal

Home repairs are so much easier. I kept the GE dryer that came with our house running for nine years by buying replacement parts online and watching videos about how to swap out those specific parts on that GE dryer.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 16h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
Correction: A typographical error appears in this skeet. It should have read thirty minutes after I get out of bed on Wednesday.
The Next Day@incompetusrex.bsky.social · 5d agoYeah, this election is getting called within thirty minutes of polls closing.
"I shouldnt be at 42% approval" Good news! You're not.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 4h agoTrump: I shouldn't be at 42% approval. We have the greatest economy in the history of the world for any country
SpaceX down 10% lol. Turns out investors might want their meme stock to turn a profit and have a real growth plan?
Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%
And I plan to retire to a private island in the Caribbean.

Judge Mehta's J6 Requiem "That book is now closed. Today’s epilogue diminishes the gravity of that day, denigrates the work of the prosecutors and ... officers who secured these convictions, and excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy ... to buckle."
The entire Republican Party, and a chunk of the Democratic Party, have a direct interest in convincing you that conservative wins are a mandate and anything else is not.
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
the median midwestern voter loves two things: electing republicans and thwarting republican policy goals via ballot referendum

I spoke with 10 CNNers about David Ellison's essay in The NYT, in which he tried to convince the public he'll be a good steward of CNN. Suffice to say, no one at the network is buying what he's selling. “We all have eyes and ears and see what’s happening at CBS." www.status.news/p/david-elli...

Scoop: "60 Minutes" is facing more brain drain. I'm told Madeleine Carlisle—a well-regarded associate producer at the newsmagazine, who also happens to be the daughter of Stephen Colbert—resigned from the program in recent days. Details in @status.news: link.status.news/4wLyA4i
if nothing else another big night for the "polling in the no-one-picks-up-their-phone-anymore Era is cooked" take
G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · 15h agoLooks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe
