NEWS — Haley Stevens has endorsed Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan U.S. Senate race against Republican Mike Rogers.

NBC News calls it for Abdul El-Sayed

AES’s lead keeps slipping with every single update. It’s under 2% now with 1/3 of his lead over Stevens being shaved off in the last hour. That polling was insanely off.

Nate Silver thinking (in 2022) that this guy could someday be the Democratic presidential nominee is the gift that keeps on giving.

A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.

I don't know how to say this in a way that isn't snotty: if you are changing your writing intentionally to sound "not like AI" or whatever, I think extremely little of your craft. This is simply not a problem or a consideration for an even moderately developed writer www.wired.com/story/more-t...

Novelists, journalists, and power LinkedIn posters are embracing first-person narratives and idiosyncrasies to avoid being mistaken for chat bots.

@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social Back when I worked at Xbox when Halo 2 was being released, Monster Energy had not ascended to its current heights, so our beverage partner for the game drop was Mt. Dew Code Red.

When I want to know about beating Trump, I look to the Lincoln Project people drummed out of the GOP after being shellacked by Trump in 2016 or the centrists who drove us into a ditch in 2024. That's who I need to advise me about how to rack up Ws.

The vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.

All of Spain shots are just accurate passes to Argentina’s keeper.

This halftime, like the pregame, is truly awful.

Why would you perform this song at halftime?

Can we please get a different No. 1 commentator than John Strong?

This World Cup pregame is something truly awful. Like when they allow too many speeches at a wedding when you want to just get back to drinking and dancing.

England deserve this after just giving up on attacking with more than 20 minutes to go.

Gee, let me guess.

As a US politician you can routinely call for, and use your considerable power to vote for and agitate for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people around the world and it doesn't count as killing them for some reason. A person who does that is not a killer for some reason.

It’s amazing how the sensor in the ball that could detect a strand of a Croat’s hair can’t detect a ball hitting a wire. (Yes, my dad is Croatian and my mom is Norwegian, so extra bitter)

If it would have been Argentina hitting the wire, VAR would have overturned England’s goal.

Speaking of ratfucking, I never once see this writer’s name without remembering when he publicly deliberately falsely fabricated a sexual assault allegation against someone else.

Alarming story that confirms my own reporting along similar lines: Dan Moraff, the political strategist who plucked Graham Platner out of obscurity to run for senate and barely vetted him, was barred from Rep. Summer Lee’s 2022 campaign after three complaints of sexual misconduct.

I'm happy that Flo is playing, but the vibes are now off. Everything Trump touches just turns to shit.

From the Telemundo broadcast just now by the commentary team during a slow-mo replay of the goal and a shot of Haaland with his hair down: "This is a perfect goal. The ball didn't touch anything." In exaggerated, gravely, dramatic voice: "TERMINATOR"

Great story. Comey's probably got another 20 years of speaking and novel writing ahead of him, but his place in history keeps getting darkier and mustier. A hard-charging egomaniac whose sense of justice destroyed what he inherited.
