I'm off by a few months, but probably not all that many.

CEO: "More AI!"
Tech team: "AlphaFold it is."

Oops! Looks like "Chicago Progressive Partnership" (the supposedly separate super PAC running this attack ad) just outed themselves and confirmed the speculation that it's the same group (AIPAC) behind the pro-Fine/anti-Biss super PAC "Elect Chicago Women" aka: ECW

"ECW: You are now opted-out..."

Huh.

Three seconds of thought sez Collateral.

Looks like a bunch of them wound up in Long Island.

Trump's ridiculous mop styled into a pig's tail.

Here's the amazing part. Sack was forced to retire in 2022, when he lost use of his drawing hand, thanks to carpel tunnel.

But the re-installation of Piggy so outraged Sack, he taught himself to draw with his OTHER hand, and started cartooning again! Holy shit!

Game time!

Minnesotans deserve leaders who vote their values all of the time.

That's what they can expect me to do.

Dude, pay attention.

BRB sintering this slogan onto the front bumper of a MRAP.

Today, Father Pierre Al-Rai was killed by Israeli army artillery shelling.

My mentions have folks calling Talarico a "fascist" and assuring me that black Texans would never ever vote for anyone who uses Christian language.

For the good of democracy, I'm begging some of you to take a long break from social media. It's not helping you and you're definitely not helping us.

Disappointed that Unrivaled doesn't have an Atlanta franchise because they could have done the funniest thing.

You may be wondering: did Jack go through an oddly elaborate process to fact-check McBride's status as an elder?

To which I say: yes I did. And she absolutely is.

(Okay, I know literally none of you were wondering that. But my job is weird.)

IMHO if we play our cards right there'll be a decent market for robot repair services.

basically the office is a Large Uncon Collider, discovering forms of separation of powers violations previously thought impossible

Yup. The disinformation is absolutely intentional.

Because the anti-tax sentiment driven by this disinformation is useful in helping the ultra-wealthy to avoid taxes.

The moms risking arrest to protect gender-affirming care for trans youth The government wants to ban the care nationwide. Hospitals are shutting down treatment. Parents just want it all to stop.

Larissa, a therapist from D.C., recently spent 12 hours in a jail cell with five other people. There was no running water, since the sink wasn’t working. They were all fed once: a baloney sandwich per person.

She was there for her trans patients. They're being hurt by this administration, she said.

Supremacy Clause immunity is a real thing, and the DA’s office seems like it is trying to build its cases carefully.

I’d add: the current DA isn’t running for re-election, and as Chicago and LA have taught us, non-reformers (and some are running in Hennepin) generally do not take on the Feds!
