You do not need to credulously promote the new political party from MTG, Kent, Massie and Tucker Carlson.

⚡️ Joe Kent says he, Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene & Thomas Massie are hoping to build a new political movement or 3rd party built around opposition to US wars, AIPAC, & corporate money, w/ the initial goal of fielding a candidate for the 2028 presidential campaign.

If the dopamine sensor tattoos log and report all spikes within proximity of another person as unauthorized sex, how does gay sex still happen and only straight people are targeted and punished? Do gay people not produce dopamine during sex in this universe?

I'll be honest: I'd buy this a lot more if his main outlet wasn't abusively attacking opposition politicians via AI slop in ways which obviously nod to other forms of prejudice.

If you are not in a position to opine on an article you co-wrote, which expressed your opinion, what *are* you in a position to opine on? Let me guess: you are *not* in a position to opine on “Who won the 2020 election”.

DURBIN: You wrote an article in which you claimed 'Black inmates are most like to become sexual aggressors.' Why should people of color believe you've changed? CRONAN: I co-authored the article. I haven't re-read it in a long time. DURBIN: Do you believe it? CRONAN: I'm not in a position to opine

And it is almost exclusively because of their names and their faith.

This is the right thing to say and I wholeheartedly support it and believe it but it is frustrating and aggravating that he's been saying this for months and months and, like Mamdani, some people on here take this as a rhetorical pivot after the primary rather than just sincerity.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

So, uh, a candidate who suspended his campaign a month ago is winning a landslide against a Trump endorsed candidate because of anti-Muslim prejudice against a guy who is not Muslim (and I guess probably also just regular racism). How often does a candidate who suspended their campaign win?

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.

Trump's endorsement post was flooded by shitty Islamophobic replies from his shitty followers. Because of course.

Trump's guy is losing to someone who isn't even running anymore because his name is Amir Hassan and though he's an evangelical Christian, MAGAts assume he's Muslim. Who could've seen that coming?

A self-described “NeverTrumper” account wondering “Was Hitler onto something? 🤔” and arguing that “we need to examine [Jews] more closely” because right-wing asshole Roy Cohn existed and mentored Donald Trump.

For context on these numbers Stevens and El-Sayed had roughly $27M in their Senat campaign committees as of mid July federal reporting. AIPACs Super PAC spent more than both candidates raised combined, most of it in the 8 weeks leading up to the primary.

Half of the $62 million spent by outside groups in Michigan spent to support Stevens came from AIPAC.

There's twenty-nine years between Kate Godwin and Galaxy's first appearances. There should be more creators between me and Rachel Pollack, more characters to make that chain. But there isn't.

I was talking to a college student today about the passing of the matryoshka doll from Grant Morrison and Rebis to Rachel Pollack and Kate Godwin to me and Galaxy and how much that means to me as someone who was a teenager who read those old DOOM PATROL comics and realized she wasn't alone.

One of the cool things about DC are the legacy characters. Characters who are connected not necessarily by family or circumstance, but by a shared history and view point. A line of creators who inspired the next, each a part of the larger story.

DOD is not letting trans service members attend their own separation hearings unless they conform with Whiskey Pete's notion of their gender. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...

I have many many pet peeves as a lawyer but the broad public insistence on rejecting things as hearsay that have absolutely nothing to do with hearsay is one of the most annoying.

Tapper: "There are now three women who have accused you of violent behavior…Are all three of these women who don't know each other lying?" Rep. Max Miller: "Yes…It's all hearsay." Tapper: "It's not hearsay if it is firsthand testimony from women."

A lot of people are going to try and insist in about six hours that being outspent by tens of millions of dollars and winning by five to possibly fifteen points is actually not that big of a deal

Ecstasy is a form of testosterone replacement therapy, now?

If you’re loudly complaining that your ex-wife took your 2 year old daughter to the emergency room for what turned out to be a broken collarbone because it violates your “shared parenting plan”, maybe you should be more concerned about your daughter’s broken collarbone.

Max Miller: When I was reported for child abuse, for my daughter, for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days, and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan

Really? Nobody has any idea what the money was really for? Nobody contemplated the incredibly obvious possibility that corporations lobbying the government might be very eager to give millions of dollars to a Cabinet Secretary using a fig leaf of plausible deniability to pretend it wasn’t a bribe?

Summer’s almost over and Sean Duffy’s controversial road trip reality series has yet to launch, leaving corporate sponsors out millions of dollars and critics asking what the money was really for.

So many people my age can quote so much of this verbatim. Many of them have no idea where it's originally from or who Orson Welles is. I love how Warner Brothers cartoons historically don't care if you're too young for the reference.
