Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says “wherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”: "wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.

Boy watching Homer beat up the krusty burglar: Stop! He’s already dead!

the lady from the meme where she's like "hmm I don't hate this"

hoo boy

this would be a good time for @bradlander.bsky.social to announce a senate primary challenge

good fucking grief

genuinely hard to think of another single move the UK govt could do that would do as much good as banning twitter. it's the poison at the root of so much ill

elon can't even get his own ai to say it loves him in an even vaguely believable way

huge missed opportunity to title it "And Another Thing"

Free is good (derogatory)

In fact, I'm also excited to announce that I am now a contributing editor for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social! v proud to be on this masthead alongside such fab writers as @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com, @jamesrball.com, @lukemcgee.bsky.social and loads more. it's really fuckin good you guys

I think maybe Tim Walz has it a bit, I've been impressed by Pritzker. But I just have a feeling it will end up being someone like Newsom and that would be... I mean maybe I'm wrong but I think that would be the wrong choice

he seems to genuinely enjoy campaigning and connecting with people, rather than treating it like an unsavory thing he needs to do en route to power. Maybe that's just him, maybe it's a highly-polished skill, or a mix of both but I can't think of many dems with that ability. Stewart has it, I think

Mamdani's success has been in a kind of radical honesty. it's not just that he doesn't have the baggage of a machine Dem - it's his ability to radiate the feeling that he genuinely cares. He gives straight answers to questions that he seems to actually engage with. He doesn't give the ick

I know it might sound weird at first. but genuinely, I can't think of anyone who'd do better. and actually, since it's NY election day and all signs say the result looks fairly clear - I think Mamdani is a glimpse of what a Stewart campaign might look like

Is Jon Stewart laughing all the way to the White House? Satire has become one of the few sources of political sanity in the US. Now, one of its chief exponents is mulling a run for office

Been traveling so didn't get a chance to properly share this, but here's my piece from last week for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social asking the question: could Jon Stewart be the presidential candidate America needs? www.thenewworld.co.uk/nicky-woolf-...

MY EYES

true. but it would be hilarious if this is what finally cures you

no

in fact I will accept apology-jar payments in the form of draft picks

oh for sure

ok I'll take it

you need to step up your meme game my dude

it's sarcastic Devon - have you missed the whole torment nexus drama

the pixelated boat tweet: "the whole internet loves milkshake duck, a lovely duck that drinks milkshakes *5 seconds later* we regret to inform you the duck is racist

"milkshake duck" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe how it's ok to be racist if you're a lovely duck who drinks milkshakes
