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?"
its very telling that the mainstream media narrative is that dsa has wacky and unreasonable positions when the republican party position is that abortion should be banned, latino families should be put in concentration camps, black people should be shot by cops and transgender people shouldnt exist
This is bullshit. I haven't had a drink in over 12 years and I still go out, even to bars. Alcohol is not healthy to consume and, while I'd never stop anyone else from a tipple, less drinking overall is better for us as a society. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/s...
What Else Do We Lose When People Give Up Booze?
Yes, there are many benefits of cutting back. But bars are closing. Jobs are going away. And a way of being together can feel harder to find.

This is why we are morally obliged to ensure that people don’t steal Flock cameras, keeping in mind that every single Flock camera has about 2-3 Ibs of copper and about 1-2 grams of gold
C.V. Danes@cv-danes.com · 2d agoThat's...a lot of copper and gold for a camera. Given that people will literally steal anything not nailed down (and even the nailed down stuff) I'm surprised flock camera theft is not a thing. I mean, fire hydrant theft is a thing!
From a Fox Poll out 7/31: Talarico-Paxton is the marquee race down here but check out the dead heat btw Abbott and Hinojosa for governor. This contest isn't even on the radar for the national Dems, AFAIK. She's has $3m cash on hand--Abbott has *$67m*. Some more highlights from the poll... /1
the only thing to be said about covid lockdowns is that it revealed the startling number of people who feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract that they also do not feel bound by
Walked to the local park yesterday. On the way there, I was hit by a delivery cyclist driving the wrong way in a one-way bike lane. At the waterfront park, I was sprayed with East River water deliberately by jet-skiers. I'm staying inside for the rest of the summer.

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.

You could get mad about dead senator discourse *or* you could enjoy this video of sea lions who have retaken an island with a decommissioned lighthouse off the coast of Oregon and now use the staircase as a giant slide.

White men are very bad judges of character. They don’t have to be wary of anyone, so they don’t develop any instincts.

Damn even Billy K can read the writing on the wall
Bill Kristol@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social · last mo.The Dem establishment and Dem centrists can wring their hands and complain about the results in Colorado. Or they can learn a lesson: Their repudiation was in large part about their perceived unwillingness to stand up firmly and unhesitatingly to Trump. So start doing so!
Does Dr. Oz understand how insurance works
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Dr Oz on ACA "fraud" -- "Of the people who signed up, 40% never use the insurance. Let me ask you, John, you have health insurance -- do you use it once a year? In Obamacare right now 40% of the people ostensibly signed up never use the insurance ... we have a lot of fake people on the policies"
I've already won something in my office World Cup pool - I held the worst performing team. Here's to you, Iraq, for losing every single match. Honestly, I'm very impressed that you qualified and I'm happy to split the $20 I won with you.
