My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.
Who would have thought that Mike Johnson, lifelong Southern Baptist, an org that believes women are subservient to men, & that domestic abuse isn't a serious issue & women should put up & shut up, would support Max Miller, domestic abuser (allegedly). I would.

Once again, I come back to the fact these guys have created a situation where one of the UK's leading, cis female athletes is scared to go to the loo alone, and the fact that they are celebrating this as a step forward for women's rights.

Forty years ago, in 1986, NYC suffered over 1,600 homicides. Homicides would peak at over 2,200 a few years later. There were 305 in 2025.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 15h 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.
Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
I reject the claim that air travel was better 40 years ago because 40 years ago you could get lung cancer by riding enough planes

The fact that the GOP has somehow hoodwinked both the voters and the media into believing this decades-long BS narrative that they are somehow "the party of fiscal responsibility" is absolutely astounding. #ResistTrump

You could have voted to impeach in January 2000. Instead, you voted for no witnesses and no documents to be allowed at trial. You are a failed person, Cornyn.
I am so triggered by RJK Jr's comment about ICU's being empty during #COVID. I re-read what I wrote after one of the surges. How do others forget. The trauma was--and is--real.

In 1986, contracting HIV meant you were going to die, usually slowly, painfully, and alone. Now it's a chronic illness like hypertension. In 1986, gay and lesbian couples couldn't have their relationships legally recognized and had to adopt elaborate legal workarounds.

"Britain's borders have stood the test of time since 1066." No, pet. In fact, 1066 is when Anglo-Saxon ENGLAND was INVADED & defeated by FRENCHMAN William of Normandy. Scotland, Wales, & Ireland weren't even part of that mess. How does an actual British MP not know this??
Gerry Hassan@gerryhassan.bsky.social · 22h agoThe UK has existed as a state since 1801. The current borders of the UK have been in place since 1922. Do Reform UK politicians NOT know the basics of UK history?

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
