I am so going to use this at the end of the month when the accounting threatens to overwhelm me.

My 4-year/old just learned about the concept of infinity and is now throwing a tantrum over it. “It’s weird! I don’t like it. I just want numbers to stop!”

1. the whole "disappointing night" thing is pure cope. El-Sayed beat the establishment candidate despite being outspent 10:1, that's an earthquake 2. primary polls are just not great and everyone needs to spend the next week going really, really hard for Peggy Flanagan

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.

@democrats.org - here’s a perfect ad for you. Run it. Let’s go.

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

I hope he wins & if (when) he does, the Dems had better get their shit together & be rabidly supportive. He’s the kind of candidate we want - progressives aren’t going away. He’s going to face so much BS & racism from the GOP - we should all have his back.

One last call and response for the primary. You know the drill. 🗣️

Victor Marx is a whackadoo piece of shit. And he shouldn’t be the nominee, but the Colorado GOP is even more crazypants than he is, so here we are. Please support @philweiser.bsky.social for Colorado Governor, because it’s good to have normal, sane, & thoughtful people in leadership!

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

They’re calling it the most theater kid story of all time

in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...

Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/

Trump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"

Just. Why are men?!?

Bingo card full. Making a drinking game out of this will kill my liver probably. How does one celebrate the eleventyteenth new talks?

BREAKING Trump says new talks with Iran to begin Monday

There were not “lockdowns,” there were state & local stay at home orders. Masks helped once they were widely available. Yes, online school sucked. No, no one’s rights were violated. And a whole lotta people went feral & decided their feelings were more important than saving lives.

Yeah, so, Ohio Dems need to get it together. Ohio Republicans are making it clear they should not be governing.

Every adult woman that I have been deeply familiar with has had a moment with a man when she knows that he would hit her if be could get away with it. Some even know what he looks like when he does it. You never forger what it looks and feel like. That Miller video has it all.

A caucus of violent, drunk ex-husbands controls three branches of government and both chambers of Congress.

Whenever i consider vaccine skepticism… i remember Scott Adams

I’m astonished by the ability of my fellow humans to forget the events we all just lived through. Folks remember the masks and the remote school. The million US dead are rarely mentioned. Folks, we lived through a plague.

It isn’t foolproof of course, but one way to help prevent electing sexual predators is to stop electing so many men.

I hope this man is having a fantastic day & that he’s going to be in charge of prosecuting ICE agents when we win. I think I love him.

Every other day, 83-year-old Marilyn Tewa of the Hopi Tribe loads buckets into her pickup and drives 5 miles to haul water. “That’s what keeps us alive,” Tewa said. Four states stand in the way of a deal to give her community water.

Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.

Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.

Trump absolutely cratering by many metrics in new CNN poll: 66% say he puts himself over country 61% disapprove of ballroom, arch, etc 57% say lacks sharpness to serve (!) 73% say he's out of touch w/regular people (!!) His personalist project is over. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2137...

Dammit Colorado!! One of the many reasons I moved here was that it used to be less embarrassing than Florida!

Colorado GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx says God has given him a "gift" to uncover people's demons and rid them of evil spirits through a specialized prayer. Marx says you, too, can learn how to do it. The eight-part course is $99. www.9news.com/article/news...

It takes a special person to love the Denver airport, and I do. STFU Donnie.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.

Trump: "The last major airport built in the US was Denver in 1995. It hasn't gotten very great reviews. So we're doing something with Dulles that's gonna make it I think maybe the top anywhere in the world. By the way, Palm Beach is gonna be one of the top too."

As of this week, hundreds of thousands of Haitians lost their legal status. Most have lost work permits as well. That's left many people unable to support themselves. Here is a verified link to a fundraiser supporting Haitians in Springfield. Please drop links to other fundraisers in the replies.

Anyone does this while il on a flight, you’re catching hands bc ABSOLUTELY NOT. You should be tied to the seat, tape over your mouth & dragged along behind the plane for this behavior. Lunatics.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...
