I really appreciated that throughout this divisive primary both Stevens and AES made clear that they’d endorse each other. It’s been a lot of outsiders who’ve made it more toxic than it needed to be

Voters really hate data centers and Cindy Holscher is gonna win in November. She just got outspent 2:1 (more if you include outside groups) and still won

An underrated fact about this routine is that they did it for *years* before it became an issue. Like this was an annual thing for over a decade before it blew up.

John James has Donald Trump’s coveted endorsement and leads in the polls. Can he fight back a last-minute grassroots revolt?

oh he’s corrupt as shit he doesn’t care about lowering the price of gas or groceries he just wants to help Trump’s billionaire friends avoid accountability

Johnson: If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.

What are you talking about? We all saw this coming! He’s hot, his mom dated two different members of The Rolling Stones, this was inevitable

This is just a cowardly half measure. They should let every country compete in the World Cup. First round is just a one in one out knockout round. If the UK loses to Eritrea they don’t deserve in www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Mainers deserve to know if Paul LePage supports the illegal war that’s jacking up gas prices. He’s dodging interviews and ghosting journalists who ask about it.

Is July a record for earliest a committee has triaged a senate race in a state they regularly win?

Paul LePage supported the largest Medicaid cuts in history and now hospitals are shutting down maternity wards in Maine Matt Dunlap will always stand up for Medicaid #ME02

Uh, did Emily Wilson's Odyssey takedown crash the @lrb.co.uk website?

Explaining to an American [me 🫠] how he got the Trump diarrhea disease “Imagine a burger (and you forgot to tell them to hold the lettuce)”

It’s crazy that the best Sekiro ending is “kick the foreign influence out & make the dragon heritage curse china’s problem” Obviously funny on its own, but historically apt as the game overlaps with the start of the Tokugawa shogunate which was deeply hostile to foreign cultures

Zooming in on oomf’s speedo pic to see what book he’s reading at the beach

Polytropos in Ancient Greek just meant that Odysseus was vers (“many turns”)

So Matt Walsh has for sure never read The Odyssey right? “How dare Christopher Nolan use nonlinear storytelling!”

Brendan Carr got $63k in gifts from CBS/Paramount in exchange for approving their merger. That’s approximately the median salary in this country.

Got me thinking.. What's the strongest reaction you've seen an audience member have to a scene in a cinema? During the birthday party scene in SIGNS I saw a whole row of young women literally throw their popcorn in the air like a cartoon.
