I’m begging all you Trump β€˜resisters’ to stop using fake AI slop, AI memes & AI vids. You’re helping generate bribes for him & benefitting his AI Tech Bros, & most importantly you’re destroying the livelihoods of creatives, such as graphic designers, etc.

In fact, you’re no better than he is.

There’s a reason young people from other countries are posting about Mamdani winning like they’re New Yorkers, and it’s because it proved a left-wing socialist campaign based on a nice person hitting relevant issues is a capable counter to fascism, even in the city built on American capitalism

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

The list of things centrists think Dems should run on is so striking. There's some good stuff in here (expand Medicare to vision & dental), but it's mostly technical tweaks and preservation of the status quo.

Like yes, ban congressional stock trading but it's not exactly a compelling vision.

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

Exit polls say Abigail Spanberger won young men 56–42 today. Talk about a narrative buster.

Trump’s gonna do an unfathomable amount of damage, but outside the US his presence is already an immediate boon to liberal and left-wing popular support. It’s only gonna get worse for far-right people hoping to pull the Trump cord

Co-opting the far right is not a winning strategy in any β€œmodern” US electorate which hasn’t been irrevocably gerrymandered. Co-opting culture war rhetoric is historically not a winning formula unless your economy is, like, REALLY bad (or you’re in South America)

Dems won against a shouty moron whose campaign was 80% saying trans people deserved to die. New Jersey was an absolute landslide. Mamdani’s about to win as a socialist against a sexual assaulting corrupt asshole endorsed by Trump and Elon

The thing about the far right is they’re unpopular

The Sauce Gardner news broke during our pod taping today. Suffice to say... @benjaminsolak.bsky.social and I did not see this one coming.

Mo Salah completed more dribbles (5) vs Aston Villa than *the rest of his 25/26 season combined*.
5 more vs Real tonight, so 10 in 2 games matching the total from his previous 20 (twenty) #LFC appearances

Wirtz on the left was everything I thought it'd be when he signed.

Created the most chances, completed all of his dribbles and put in a serious graft out of possession.

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.
