It’s hard to fathom that I traveled so often for so long without noise canceling headphones. Airports are noise factories.

The fact that these people have the nerve to open their mouths to talk about “protecting women and girls” while doing shit like this… whew!
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 4h agoMike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.
@abdulelsayed.bsky.social triumphing over something like $60 million, $32-ish million of it AIPAC money, is not a "narrow" victory, it's a people's earthquake. This kind of spending is oligarchy in action, to smother democracy through its formal channels, and is getting normalized. Still he won.
No matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.

lol, even a phone call from Trump couldn’t get Max Miller to drop out.
Max Miller Shrugs Off Trump’s Warning and Pushes Ahead in Ohio
Republicans hoped a shove from President Trump would persuade the embattled congressman to drop his re-election bid in the face of abuse allegations. It hasn’t happened.

Once again Saeed, you give the best recommendations because I binged the entire show yesterday and it was brilliant. Sexy, funny, touching, action packed; James Bond could never
Saeed Jones@theferocity.bsky.social · 5d ago*runs into the room* I’VE GOT A NEW SHOW TO RECOMMEND! It’s called “Ride or Die” and it’s on Amazon Prime. Octavia Spencer plays a politician’s wife. Her best friend is Hannah Waddingham who, she soon learns, is an assassin. I’ve five episodes in and OBSESSED.
It’s very weird to frame this as an attack on his family when it’s coming from his family

Just so everyone knows, this is a tried-and-true mainstream media tactic. For progressives/leftist candidates, every election is a “crucial test” and any loss would serve as proof to the media that the latest left-side moment is at its end. Any win, though, just means it’s time to find a new test.
Politico@politico.com · 2d agoMichigan will provide another crucial test of whether progressives can not only keep up their winning streak in safe-blue seats but also break through in battlegrounds crucial for control of Congress. The stakes for the Democratic Party are huge.
Wait, were Cristan Cole and Gwayne fucking???? Am I reading too much into subtext???? #HouseOfTheDragon
I love how much HotD makes the dragons characters with personalities and relationships, compared to GOT where they were breathing giant bombs.
Saeed Jones@theferocity.bsky.social · 2d agoI’m so worried about these damn dragons! #HouseOfTheDragon

Poor Sheepstealer! He didn’t ask for any of this! #HouseOfTheDragon
After all these years of watching GoT, this damn show just delivered a sex scene that shocked me into actually screaming.
I’m rewatching “Girlfriends” and once again I’m shook by how much these ladies hated each other.
This is way too familiar. I grieve for every person who knows what that kinda fear feels like.
