The Democratic Party Needs to Learn from Zohran Mamdani's Guts and Backbone Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-)

he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

NO KINGS.
NO TYRANTS.
NOT NOW.
NOT EVER.

This one felt goooooood 👏

my local food pantry says that they are full up on volunteers but feel free to send money to help people still reeling after Helene

Every dollar that is donated helps to distribute enough food for 4 meals

Y'all can't shut the fuck up with the smarmy harmful shit for even half a second. Tilting at fuckin windmills you made up just to get in some Sick Dunks Online

The worst fucking thing about any decent progressive candidate getting popular is that the most insufferable leftists in the world crawl out of the woodwork to start taking swings at everyone else, including the other leftists that are doing the work to help get said progressive candidate elected

Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein is the doctor.

Wisdom is understanding that the doctor IS the monster.

But true enlightenment is only achieved when you do the mash

Former AG Eric Holder to MeidasTouch: The Supreme Court Is ‘Broken’—Reform Must Be on the Table In an exclusive interview, former Attorney General Eric Holder tells Ben Meiselas that term limits and even expanding the Supreme Court must be seriously considered if Democrats regain a trifecta

Former AG Eric Holder: “If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028, Supreme Court reform is something that has to be considered. Term limits, at a minimum, and potentially expanding the Court, should be on the table.”

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

The Nonprofit Feeding the Entire Internet to AI Companies Common Crawl claims to provide a public benefit, but it lies to publishers about its activities.

NEW: Common Crawl, the massive archiver of the web, has gotten cozy with AI companies and is providing paywalled articles for training data. They’re also lying to publishers who have asked for material to be removed. “The robots are people too,” CC’s exec director told us when we asked about this.

And they come with documentation so if it doesn't work you know /why/

"Let's use AI to code!" It can barely handle boilerplate code and there's already libraries and such out there that do it better without screwing up the environment or economy.

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

It's almost as if letting the ultra-rich own the entire mainstream press and also all the big social platforms had a downside.

Is there a way to get the Seanan McGuire Strixhaven book without giving WotC any money? I'm willing to send money to her directly, I just refuse to give WotC a single cent because of Universes Beyond

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

if universes beyond has 1 hater it’s me
if universes beyond has no haters im dead

“Biblical Justice, Equal Justice, for All”: How North Carolina’s Chief Justice Transformed His State and America Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power. Over two decades, he’s driven changes that have reverberated well be...

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.”

We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

Me dressed as Frankenstein's Monster for Halloween. I have green facepaint on, small black bolts glued to the sides of my neck, and painted on black stitch marks. My flattop is sprayed black with a white streak in the front. I'm wearing a black and white striped shirt with a black leather jacket.
