James Talarico’s victory in the Texas Democratic Senate primary shows the power of a class-focused political message. His campaign emphasized economic populism and working-class unity rather than traditional Democratic Party messaging or identity politics.

Hopefully, the system doesn't crush him.

Unpopular opinion - Gene Kelly is at peak hotness in Summer Stock with Judy Garland. The movie plot is dumb, but singing and dancing are of course top notch. The barn dance is effortless. Love that movie.

I am sad. My soup stained shirt that I wore during game one didn’t work. I blame my chicken socks.

This!!! I’ve been waiting for someone (with more knowledge of the particulars than me) to point this out. Disney attorneys aren’t going to play when it comes to contracts.

Im curious what kind of contract they had with Disney. I feel like if you are and ABC affiliate you maybe required to show certain programming under contract. The Disney attorneys may have struck again.

It should be replaced with a portrait of Sherman.

I had a doctor tell me once that when I was sick I should try eating pretzels to help with electrolytes (salt). I heard β€œeat snacks” and changed that to salt and vinegar chips. They are first on the list when I’m not feeling well.

If they want to respect history, then all confederate monuments should come down & be replaced with the appropriate union general that whooped their ass (in those cases where the union lost that particular battle it should just be replaced tributes to union soliders who died heroically in battle.)

This. I’m a PA resident and said this from the beginning. We all wanted Kamala to succeed, but the fact is the largest voting block in the rust belt states are old white men and they just weren’t going to vote for a woman - let alone a black woman. It’s horrid, yes, but it’s also the truth.

Paying extra for guac - isn’t that where β€œno taxation without representation” came from?

I don’t know about that - I thought it was at Kelly’s Roast Beef?

For what it’s worth - Nate MacKinnon debunked it on insta as well (he commented on a spittinchicklets post)

I mean this is why there are quotas right? Not because they want to get β€œillegals” and deport them, but because they want to run as many people as possible through these detention centers to funnel money from the government. It’s just a giant money laundering scheme.

I just can’t image vaporizing personal & professional integrity just to double down on β€œAn old man acted like an old man” to sell books. I mean this isn’t your Woodward moment. You aren’t Doris Kearns Goodwin. Maybe just take the L and come back with something people want to read.

Does anyone still have a ouija board? We need to get in contact with Teddy
Roosevelt. Between the new Gilded Age stuff and this… no doubt he is super pissed off in the great beyond.

Except they aren’t β€œallowed” they are being ordered to unconstitutionally.

They have to try to trade Marner’s rights before free agency. They aren’t going to get equal value (unless they can pull off a β€œhockey” trade) , but that team has no soul. No grit.
