Wild that Stevens in Michigan, who had what I feel was a much nastier and more personal primary against El-Sayed, pretty much immediately publicly signed on to back El-Sayed's general election... I think I've seen nothing but bitterness and "Fuck that guy" responses from Crockett. Not great!

She's really starting to remind me of Anthony Weiner; a backbench Democrat representative who built an aggressive media personality into a national following and then completely fell apart when exposed to scrutiny, due to being an overweening narcissist without any deeper loyalties.

a reason that Stevens lost and other AIPAC candidates are losing despite the huge infusions of money is that Dem voters don't want to vote for a candidate who is funded by the same org who will immediately turn around and fund the Republicans

AIPAC: "Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November."

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

I'm pretty sure governments actually do/should have a vested interest in countering monopolies and protecting workers from harmful business practices. Also, I don't recall Chris Wallace piping up when all that TikTok dumbassery went down.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 8h ago

Just to make the point abundantly clear, Chris Wallace is now a paid advisor to an investment firm that has a large stake in Paramount and a vested interest in getting the Warner Bros. merger over the line. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

El-Sayed: "They think they want to use my whole name against me. Mike, listen man, If you can't say the name -- it's Abdulrahman -- keep the name out your damn mouth."

Hey guys, you think that being abjectly racist while openly, actively supporting an incredibly unpopular war and genocide and trying to pin that support to all American Jews was a winning strategy or...?

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 4w ago

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

You can never just move on from this, even after he's gone. Without punishment and ostracism for everyone who has participated in his crime spree over the last 18 months you can forget it- we're all just treading water until the next tyrant

As a fat someone with self hate and depression who wanted to act and date and knows fat doesn't tend to play well in Los Angeles in either venue, I gotta say the things that sounds almost like constant roid rage sounds even worse. What an exhausting mental place to reside.

i’m never gonna be able to fire a cruise missile yet the question of using my tax dollars for them has never been up for debate

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

Look, maybe I'm just overly confident due to inexperience, but there's no way NFL weed would make me THAT loopy.

Cao Cao Power Hour Enthusiast@statsboyandi.bsky.social · 2d ago

One reason I’m not terribly worried about the Michigan race is this is a very easy slam dunk for Public Health expert El-Sayed to make the general election about. And if he can’t hit that? Well that’s on him.

It's always "We're a united country" until someone starts using tax dollars to act like one, then it's "OI I NEVER DRIVE DOWN THAT ROAD I REFUSE TO PAY TAX ON ITS MAINTENANCE" and "MY HOUSE NEVER BURNS DOWN WHY SHOULD I BE SUBSIDIZING FIRE FIGHTERS?!"

So what's the goldilocks spot on deaths to take this seriously with? Cuz apparently COVID was so many that it was a fake conspiracy and cyclosporiasis wasn't serious because no one died, so just asking for a nation that would love to be "healthy again" or whatever the fuck. I want fresh greens ffs.

Send Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr. on the ground to do weird, shitty exercise videos in their faces and talk about manliness. I'm sure that would result in something incredibly good for America.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Kirralie Smith admitted in court she didn't have any evidence to back up her claim about a trans woman injuring two cis women.

I enjoyed the new Spiderman! It's actually impressive that Marvel, despite being absolutely a shambles and despite not once letting Spiderman have a movie where he exists without having to interact with the wider universe (possibly the only MCU standalone to have that issue?), has made 4 good films.

Love Actually is one of the most overrated movies of my lifetime and actively terrible in places but emma thompson saying "nobody's ever going to shag you if you go around feeling sorry for yourself all the time" might be the most important PSA in any film this century
