he/him I produced on mostly harmless teevee for a long time. Trying to be done with that. Dad stuff, nerd shit, six cats, charming grognard grievances for days.
I accidentally addressed our middle school principal as Mr. instead of Dr. in an email and he did not say anything but I am going to have random, intrusive spikes of whinge-cringe-OW embarrassment for the next six months GREAT.
Goddammit I wish California could be sending better people to Washington, too.
My colleague José Olivares's series 'Force-fed by ICE' is revelatory and horrifying

Man, I hate DoorDashing but I REALLY like ordering online and setting a pickup time. The inefficiency and cost of DoorDashing grates me, but I love not having to hem-and-haw in line with kids when ordering.
Haley Stevens immediately conceding and writing a gracious statement, to me, suggests her grotesque Islamophobia and racism was more cynical politics LARP than unhinged derangement which are, to me, functionally and meaningfully indistinct but it is interesting.
Jason Sudeikis really got Apple TV to spend Apple TV money filming on location in his home town and featuring local locations and businesses as part of the deal to get him to return for another run of Ted Lasso and I just think that's neat.
lorem ipsum 🇧🇷🇺🇸@whiskeynachos.bsky.social · 14h agoOkay so this episode is just a love letter to Kansas City. That’s cool. I’m glad Jason exacted this as tribute.
For your Lucile Bluth Meme Tracker btw, a single banana at Disneyland is $2.29.
essentially every decision AIPAC has made this year they have made not just wrong but maximally wrong
I don't know anything about Michigan but this was the point where my esteem of her went from "Sigh, another Dem clinging to old politics about Israel" to "Oh, she's WEIRD about Israel and likes the genocide."
Sam@samd.bsky.social · 3h agobased on how close it was I legit think that Stevens would have won if she didn’t talk about how Israel comes to her in her dreams
Interesting point I saw on here: McMorrow voters would've had to break for Stevens with >67% for her to beat AES even with those votes reallocated. Technically a spoiler, but by no means a certain one.
⚠️ Democrats in array: Schumer, Gillibrand, and Whitmer coalesce behind El-Sayed
Abdul El-Sayed’s win represents a big blow to the politics of bygone days. Because if one campaign can show that *that* much money and *that* much old guard support doesn’t guarantee victory, it cracks open what can be imagined. It widens the aperture of what’s possible.
Will This Be AIPAC’s Biggest Defeat – Ever?
Prem was on hand in Michigan to witness the nail-biter between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens, which appears to have gone down as an astonishing failure for AIPAC.

When I was in college on a big family trip to gulf shores, dad drunkenly told everyone at dinner "I never knew anyone to blow thru toilet paper like THIS kid har har har!" but I never used TP to jerk off, it was because I was terrified of my finger punching thru while wiping, but NO ONE BELIEVED ME.
A gracious and prompt concession from Haley Stevens. I like that we all can say Abdul is a doctor now. I really do think that everyone but Scholten and a few random folks will be all in for AES.
Credit to her, this is a really good statement and more than I expected.

some more state House results of note—in addition to DSA taking down Helena Scott in Detroit, Skaggs's Grand Rapids-area seat was won by Lily Cheng-Schulting, a progressive he beat in a primary four years ago, and Kalamazoo's HD-41 went to progressive Jen Strebs over moderate Jessica Swartz
Also, importantly, most Democrats like most Democrats. Most Democrats particularly like most Democrats who like most Democrats.
The worst brand of weirdos are the "Let me defend data centers" crowd.
Anyway, fuck you "Livin' With A Heartache" by the Beach Boys and "Apples Peaches Bananas and Pears" by the Monkees for having near-identical bits where people harmonise on the phrase "I('ve) love(d) you"
I just panicked jumped out of my chair because I thought I heard a water leak in the house but now it's just that our goblincat Baby Bear makes disgusting noises when she drinks from the fountain lolololololololol
