Years ago I coined the milleneuve, which is a unit to measure how horrible the sky color is based on Villeneuve films. Blade Runner 2049 is around 900mn. Today is around 250 I'd say. (It's a very scientific scale.)

Abdul El-Sayed has won, NBC News says. And there are other wins for the left in Michigan: —William Lawrence wins his U.S. House primary. —A DSA-backed candidate is leading a Democratic incumbent for state House. —Abbas Alawieh, co-founder of Uncommitted, leads for state Senate.

ATTENTION TO ALL DEM TAX CUT SLOPULISTS

Tonight we find out whether Michigan voters are bluesky posters or bluesky replyers

might be a bit less cooked than we all thought, I think El-Sayed wins but this is gonna be closer than we thought the last minute freakout may have made a pro-Stevens difference, though *probably* not enough

ANYWAY she's down 6 and still has a shot at winning because she's doing better in rural MI than anticipated and still could mop up in Detroit

Max Miller story is providing incredible cover for the 65 year old NC Republican congressman who was just found to have been texting his female staff shit like "I had to leave the party because you brought your bf with you 🥺"

I LOVE YOU ZOHRAN MAMDANI

the ragnarok lobster guy deleted all his posts about how haley stevens was gonna win. that’s how cold politics is. ragnarok lobster is abandoning you before the polls even close

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

You can look at this and think it’s a funny little aside, but I think this is a perfect encapsulation of how fundamentally the Democratic electorate has changed.

Tom Perriello was the original progressive winning in a swing seat. He voted for the ACA with no regrets and lost in 2010, but so did all the middle-of-the-road Rahm recruits

Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion

Not sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.

A new deal on balcony solar just dropped in the US

Plug-in panels can lower your bills. To boost the American market for the tech, nonprofit Bright Saver is selling kits with no markup, starting at around…

They know voters hate this shit. So they wait until Blanche has the votes for Collins to come out against him. So she can claim to be a moderate. So she gets reelected. So she can spend the next two years voting for more Todd Blanches.

Susan comes out against Todd Blanche now that he's got the votes. So tiresome. (We called it: tinyurl.com/3bepafkz) #MEpolitics

"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

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

Hey is it good for democracy when an illegal secret police force operating on the orders of a wannabe dictator tracks down its critics

this is an example of what is, for me, the grimmest reality of what Sam Altman inflicted on us all: the joy of discovery is ruined now. you can't receive a thing now without at least a flicker of "wait did a person make this or did Sam's Suckerfish shit it out"

Almost as depressing as people using AI to write: People who have apparently read so little decent writing that they believe utterly commonplace tools every minimally competent writer employs are AI tells.

This is for no one. Whether you like it or not, ESPN, MAGA doesn't watch football. They don't watch sports. They bitch about sports. They wear jeans to the beach. They are, to a man, losers. You're fucking the dog on this

It’s so obnoxious to me that so many of today’s current media got their start in fringe outlets, like Breitbart, The Federalist, etc, and are now considered “mainstream.”

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

not sure if it's good or bad that the dsa, which until 5 months ago was a book club for underemployed grad students, is beating to a pulp the billion dollar harvard educated democrat operative janissary class with 5 shitty flyers and some twitch streams

There’s “off the charts” and there’s France’s absolutely bonkers June & July 2026 temperatures (see black line below). Bad things are happening. Fast.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
