I’m just a few miles from NYC and ours close at 10 PM!
I think he’s worse in some way, but not dying or anything.
I’m a fan! Not without issues but much closer than other depictions.
You wouldn’t believe all the philosophical errors I spot in TV shows.
Maybe this doesn’t count, but it’s that Austin Powers movies are failures because Bond movies are already self-aware and parodic. You can’t make fun of a movie for doing what it already laughs at itself for doing.
Since Nate Silver only ever just says what the numbers tell him, I’m sure he wouldn’t make this assertion without clear definitions and policy positions of blueskyism and the left, along with extensive polling and focus groups and election results.
The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came down a Gary
Like I do think this would count against a candidate where I am (purple NY suburbs), but even here not by as much as one might think.
I want to tell you about a friend of mine real quick. I've mentioned her on here before, but you don't know any details yet, and she's about to make history in a very real sense. Meet Michi Benthaus:
Centrist schmucks? I’m not even saying we should try to appease them or worry about that! Just that that’s what they may be thinking.
me when it’s Osaka v Gauff
Remember how her misinformation about playing outside led to thousands of illnesses and dozens of deaths (so far)?
Today's press pool photo shows Trump leaving the White House this morning. I enhanced the image. And seriously, can an expert explain what the hell is happening to his face?
I would not clutch my chest and stagger in shock if we verified this.
I saw a lot of people (rightly) calling him out on this on here, glanced at the replies on X. There, he’s gotten very little pushback from our side on it.
Yeah mine says “bro,” but as a pronoun rather than a nickname. Like “bro doesn’t even want to go”
You think “wow, Trump’s makeup is so horrible, why does he do that to himself” and then you see him without makeup.
I suspect he’s trolling and playing the fool. He wants to winkingly point out that Romanians do better than Roma on whatever test.
Ah gotcha. Anyway what a shitty fucking thing to say.
I had literally no idea he was Jewish.
Had a feeling Schatz was lost when he came back here and then left for X a second time
wtf last I heard from him he was more clear-sighted about the Trumpism threat than most
If that is what eventually gets him, that would be poetry.
Let us take comfort that if he isn’t, then it is extremely likely that he’s in bad shape.
Yeah, I don’t think he was attending very much to what Kennedy is saying/doing until this.
Also funny that he thinks the anti-vaxxers just haven’t heard about how effective vaccines are, and they just need to hear from Pfizer and they’ll understand.
Yes I was agreeing with you
It’s so funny that within the first Trump administration’s legacy of racism and hate and death and opposition to democracy and greed and inequality, there was literally one project where you gotta hand it to them—and his biggest fans despise it. And how much that annoys Trump who wants to brag.
Kind of amazing how many dishes we think of as traditional Italian were 1) invented in, like, 1926, 2) originally a city/street food, not developed by nonnas serving huge families at long wooden tables under the grapevine, and/or 3) developed in the US by Italian-Americans and brought back to Italy
I think if he were to convince people he was actually fine (to be clear, I think he really does have very serious health issues and that’s why this all started), we would look like ghouls for focusing on his death (to be clear, we’re not ghouls, we are fans of democracy).
Biblically-accurate Wittgenstein
I’m Gen X and I don’t understand how all these people who say they’re my age are all old gray people when I’m some normal age.
Promises made. Promises kept.
I have no clue what’s going on with the guy, but can I just say I wouldn’t put it past them to encourage fevered speculation that they will eventually demonstrate to be untrue?
I don’t think they started this and he really does have serious health issues. But they might take an extra few days. I don’t really know! Just throwing it out there.
Whether or not we should feel bad (I don’t think so!) we could look bad.
It wasn’t medically necessary not to tell anyone
Not that that’s right, I’m just wondering if that’s where they got it.
Kate Middleton is a blueprint, if that’s what’s going on. Speculation was building, she could easily have set the rumors to rest but didn’t, and after a little while made a video. And the people speculating were seen by everyone else as ghoulish conspiracists.
I wonder if they are extrapolating from what he says about animals.
What people think they 80s were like versus what the 80s was actually like.
Maybe!

Aubrey Plaza is actually a nepo baby. I imagine ur familiar with her father, Rockefeller
“We don’t get between the choices of doctors and patients (or doctors and parents and patients)”
“the government should mind its own business” is perennially popular American message and I don’t know why we’re not talking like that about trans people.
I would simply show a video of me giving my wife a big kiss in public to prove that I was alive and doing great.
I love this!
I've just seen something described as "mellow dramatic", which sounds like an Aristotelian mean to aspire to if ever I heard one
I don’t think my kid is safer, but I’d be so desperate for them to tell me what’s going on and if they’re alive. (To be clear, I think they should take phones away during the school day, but I feel a pang about it)
*crab-walked
Ok current theory: Giuliani WAS driving, slammed on his break to rubberneck the situation on the other side of the road, got hit from the rear, and turned that into a near-rescue story.
Well, if we believe the police report, he wasn’t driving…
Also the fact that Giuliani is still driving is not reassuring!
I dunno it’s such a weird story.
I mean, I wouldn’t put it past Giuliani to mistake a random woman walking down the street for one.
Possibly! Or at least solicit?
Sounds plausible! And the bit with the woman?
Ok this is extremely not what happened. Any guesses on the real story?
My shirt came and it’s the best thing ever
I mean, I guess if it were widely understood that it’s a non-evaluative word, but since it isn’t, the concept is unhelpful.
My god
That was the line I was saying on the way out
If the Taylor be Swift, it’s a real gift If the Taylor be Lorenz, get better friends
I’d heard people say “segway” and I knew what it meant, so I suppose I non-occurently knew two similar words for the same phenomenon.
Me too! Pronounced saig in my head
Ok ok this post finally makes more sense
I will now too
This is beautiful
Like a constant running play?
I could definitely see him dictating it to someone who may have cleaned it up a little. I don’t know either! It just didn’t sound obviously not like him to me
The only one that stuck out at me was “lo and behold” but he has said it before.
Organic daughters are a total rip off. You can get conventional daughters for half that.
And why would they want him to? If they were going to take a post, they’d pick a more rally-the-troops topic.
Many people are saying this doesn’t sound like he wrote it. It sounds to me like he might well have written it.
ikr?!??
thoughtless smh
First I’ll have to learn like literally anything about rugby but I’m willing to give it a whirl!
I was at the match last night and the crowd was as loud cheering her on as I’ve ever heard in an early round match. Which was great to be a part of! Anyway, this is now a TT fan account.
A couple days late on this: Clearly Ostapenko is not a racist, but concerned with Townsend’s etiquette. Because everyone knows that screaming racist stuff while pointing your finger in someone’s face is the polite and appropriate way to inform someone they’ve erred. defector.com/jelena-ostap...
Thoughts on Taylor Townsend: I just found out last night that Townsend’s career was initially thwarted because of her weight. Not because it affected her play! But because…well, you know why. I have been basically pacing in fury and muttering ever since.
Unbelievable bullshit. With the most transparent fucking excuses. I got to see her last night, and it was transcendent. Could not be rooting for her more.
I love it!
Vraiment!
It’s really so cool that such an amazing period of history had such a great painter to as a chronicler.
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
they made an SVU episode about bluesky
I can
You have this post, but the article says they no longer recommend this product.
Dems calling RFK to resign, even if hopeless, is helpful IMO - it signals to more apathetic voters the severity of what is happening.
Her son has a good friend, and I call the mom the Isaac Newton of social skills. I’m blown away by her.
Only if, as you have said, you think the Right lacks agency
Right, like a white person wearing blackface and a white person making a dumpling cookbook are simply not the same category. And I think we can recognize that while recognizing both that people who overdo the concept, neither caused fascism nor are necessarily ill-intentioned.
One thing Sensible Centrists refuse to acknowledge - and this was true during covid when people were also saying this stuff explicitly - is these people are eugnenicists who welcome a good plague to get rid of the old, botched, and bungled
Finally we have figured out how to do disinformation effectively.
So two separate not-very-into-politics teenagers of mine, who aren’t on X or Bluesky, both mentioned they saw people saying it. That stuff went EVERYWHERE.
He was a beautiful boy
I would but only bc it’s their names I forget
The movie looks pretty bad (as a movie), but wow (to the part where they made a movie about it)
