Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Lots going on but from outside it seems that at least part of the calculus was that flight disruption for middle class and up travelers matters more than life disruption for untold numbers who’ll be deprived of health care.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

We should not lose sight of the fact that for as much as we love Zohran, Brad Lander is Bluesky’s favorite New Yorker

Perfect.

It's a pity that anybody of sound mind can't stomach the idea of tuning in to see Trump speak.

“A little party never killed nobody,”

Donald Trump holding a Great Gatsby Halloween Party while SNAP benefits stop so 43 million Americans literally go hungry is the most Nero thing ever.

Am I the only one who noticed that the two most destructive modern day hurricanes to hit Jamaica are named #Melissa & Gilbert?

A screen grab of Google showing the scorecard for tonight's baseball game in Los Angeles, with LA on the left side and Toronto on the right.

I thought the game was in LA tonight… Or does Google think we should be like the rest of the world, with the home team on the left side of the scoreboard? So is it really the bottom of the 5th? 🤔 #WorldSeries

Immortality is a child's answer to death anxiety, not a real thing with which humanity will ever have to contend. No king's alchemist ever granted him eternal life, and it isn't going to start happening now just because of Computer.

I don't know why I've always pronounced "Taniel" taniel.bsky.social in my head as Tennille (as in "the Captain and"). I know it's like "Daniel". Forgive my ignorance.

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

Brb just writing a screenplay about a struggling inflatable costume factory in a wholesome but dying American small town that unexpectedly helps save democracy, and democracy saves it right back.

The sign that captures my mood. #NoKings #Portland

Liberals say that how Trump is governing is no way to run a democracy. They're wrong—it's no way to run a republic.

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

Turns out your assumptions about what republican group chats are like is correct www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

The JD Vance interviews show how broken the Sunday morning political show format has become. Such interviews are a purely performative exercise.

trump has poisoned the relationship but the most of us look at Toronto-Seattle as a series with our best friends, trading off whose backyard in which we hold the games.

AC1708 LAS YUL complete and total barf-o-rama this morning. Almost everybody on board got ill and vomited. More tk

If I had laser hair, I sure wouldn’t want it removed. I’d be so psyched.

An empty void. I had a full void once, but it was just something I ate.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."
