I’ve been yelling it at everyone who will listen, but I ADORE that she surfs on all four classical elements at different points.

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

This is a must read about Democratic Party grift open.substack.com/pub/data4dem...

I think the really important thing about the "trans sports debate" is that it's NOT REAL, the things that people are fearmongering about are NOT REAL and are NOT HAPPENING. Cis women are not competing at a disadvantage against trans women, cis men aren't transitioning to win at sports, IT'S NOT REAL

You don't have to be a big transgender-rights person to understand that GENITAL SCREENINGS FOR EVERY GIRL ATHLETE might be a bigger problem than the alleged advantages of the fraction of a percent of transgender girls who want to compete in sports.

Dang, but thanks.

Was the first metahuman in the new DCU Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld?!

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face. -Andre the Giant

It's the worst season and it's not close.

*deep breath*

More Democrats should sound like Hunter Biden?

Trump killed those kids and it’s a travesty Democrats aren’t saying that

I don't *want* bipartisanship when one of the parties supports starving children to pay for stormtrooper squads to round up all the brown people and reduce billionaire's taxes. I want my opposition party to OPPOSE.

"Bipartisan" now means "compromised by monsters," and I want nothing to do with it.

I love that it seems equally plausible to me that he forgot or he's lying. He sure is fit for the highest office in the land!

I think this might literally be the worst thing I've ever heard.

I’m no sociologist, but Marcotte’s theory here feels right on the money. I’ve been wondering for years how the right wing copes with being the villains in all media, and a secret pedophilia conspiracy is likely it for a lot of them.

Saw #Superman last night and loved it. It’s remarkable how, had it been released ten years ago, people would probably have called it corny. Today it feels powerful and political.

Same with the fireplace. What a masterpiece.

Yeah, my kids clocked it *instantly*.

Don't feed the fascists.

I used to work with Mike at Nintendo. I am pleased/horrified that he doesn’t seem to have changed a bit.

In a decade or two, unfortunately probably after he’s dead and can’t be held accountable, it will be possible to calculate how many children RFK Jr killed today. It wouldn’t surprise me if he broke some extremely grim records.

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

The political establishment is going to take this as a lesson that they have to fight RCV. We have to take it as a lesson that we need to fight FOR it everywhere we can. We don't have to live like this.

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

So we had, what, three years of the 21st century without being at war in the Middle East? Roughly 12%?

I canvassed door to door for @repkimschrier.bsky.social and I am utterly furious with her. #abolishICE

But this song does include the lyrics “Be the first Rolling Stone subscriber/Got a pterodactyl for a windshield wiper,” so he did at least build something beautiful from the corpse.

1/ To understand Trump, you need to understand that, at the end of the day, he’s a bully. His childhood was filled with violence against his fellow classmates and he was expelled from multiple schools for his violent conduct toward others. That’s why #TACO is hitting hard with Trump…

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people.

There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

This is exactly like when financial advisors testified to Congress that a bill requiring them to act in their clients’ interests first would kill their industry. That means your industry is theft.

Something I’m finding really frustrating about Andor discourse is that so many people feel compelled to tear down other Star Wars while praising this (fantastic, transformative) show.
