Remember this, the two people involved in this race making peace less than 24 hours after their contentious primary. They've buried the hatchet. Any griping you hear going forward is invented by right wing media that wants American Nazism to succeed.

Yes sir

I'm calling it: "Start smoking" is going to be mainstream MAHA / Republican health advice by 2028. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Not sure who the touring/record business thinks is gonna fill those clubs, theaters, arenas and stadiums in 5-10 years when the classic rock generation is no longer on the road. Zero thought to any longevity, just strip mine everything to the last penny right this second.

Aside from the knock to the ever-dwindling music journalism ecosystem, I just think about what this all means for smaller and mid-tier bands. If you're not already huge, who is going to cover your album? Who is going to post about your tour? Who is going to…

For years, Bruce Blakeman has used taxpayer money to plaster his name all over public facilities and events. Now that he's running for governor he's paired commercials advertising those public events next to his ads for governor about how everything would be fine if we ethnically cleansed immigrants

This is the Christianity that tens of millions of Americans have been indoctrinated with over the past 50 years, Dominionist subjugation instead of spiritual liberation.

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

at what point is there soul searching about how throwing dozens of millions and racist smears around is not working out for democrats the way it has for republicans

That's some racist-ass shit right there.

Seems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.

Brilliant. I'd also add that to most people "centrist" is a constantly shifting position defined as halfway between Dem and Republican in the present moment, which means a "centrist" in 2026 would be far to the right of most Republicans in the majority of the 20th century up to about 40 years ago.

WHAT IS ELECTABILITY? Thoughts on the eve of the Michigan primary: open.substack.com/pub/dreamwea...

Mickey Rourke was in a lot of straight to DVD shit but the list of directors he worked with in the first 20 years of his career is second only to John Cazale's.

A lot of columnists have lost their minds in recent years because social media has allowed people to talk back to them, whereas before they could say any old vile shit with next to no pushback

We’re also funding death squads but what’s really offensive is that somewhere out there a poor person might be able to eat

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d ago

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

Very sad to hear this, a brilliant musical mind. Read a while back about how Prince knew "Kiss" was special but couldn't fully crack it and brought him in; he's who stripped it down to the perfection you hear now. Also behind "She Drives Me Crazy" and even the immortal guitar lick from "Funkytown".

The storied Minneapolis producer David Z has died at 78

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

There are 7 PR people for every journalist in the US. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

This guy can’t even handle lettuce and he wants to lecture us about doing too much to save lives at the start of a pandemic that killed over one million Americans.

BASH: How do you prepare for next pandemic? RFK Jr: We did almost everything wrong B: But what about now? K: We need to protect our rights B: ? K: During covid we dismantled our rights B: But I'm asking what *to* do K: You were part of the problem B: You want to sit here and attack me?

Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

The Republican Party has gone full mask-off Nazi; meanwhile the media narrative being pushed 24/7 is “ahhh! Democrats are being taken over by socialist radicals!!” and their terrifying examples are Miss Rachel, a doctor who wants you to have healthcare, and the friendliest mayor in American history.

Party that spent the last decade grooming and funding and encouraging blind nazi ideologues to run for office and government positions : uh oh

"a chance to uphold the league's values of inclusion, such as including my belief that some people should be excluded"

Speaking for the first time since ralliers began assembling in support of her stance against transgender participation in women’s sports, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said this was an opportunity for the WNBA to uphold its values of diversity and inclusion. nyti.ms/4fHr4Qn

Iran is so evil that Donald threatened to blow it into nonexistence. But not as evil as Minnesota—because it didn’t vote for Donald. Everything is ALWAYS about him with this self-indulgent idiot.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d ago

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

New King of the Hill season is top notch, John Early episode with the hugging sessions is an all timer.

oh FUCK yeah you KNOW i'm listening to that Diane Warren Reggae Compilation.

Seriously though this poll makes no sense. 100% of MAGA voters would support a candidate accused of sexual assault. That’s literally the definition of a MAGA voter.

He's not running for re-election. He's running for a Newsmax contributor position where he can say variations of "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me" all day and basically take over the Tulsi Gabbard lane since she's claimed asylum in Moscow or whatever.

[Homer sits backwards on a chair] let me tell you about ANOTHER giant brute who was being beaten by Nobody

Kinda funny that the Neo-Falangists like Leo and Alito finally have a Pope they could rally people around and they hate him, they want Alfred Molina from The Da Vinci Code.

Has been obvious that they've been working up to this for a while and now we're seeing them state it explicitly as people realize that right wingers have no answers for anything.

Ketan Joshi@ketanjoshi.co · 7d ago

It is putting it mildly to describe these people as a death cult.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
