White supremacists are always claiming some sort of unified European culture as if you couldn’t pick any random year in European history and find some inter-ethnic/intra-national conflict awash in war crimes.

Another rewatch of The Apprentice and Maria Bakalova really should have gotten her accolades. The short scene of her in the limo quietly getting herself collected before she greets the press is great work.
Come to think of it, where’s Mitch McConnell been these days?
A lot of the big complainers about Bluesky are basically describing Threads but their real issue with Bluesky is that they specifically dislike around 12 people who they could ratio on Twitter if it still existed. It’s basically niche influencer drama pretending to be about policy
What’s helping me stay present is that if he croaks, we will all get push alerts about it so that’s getting me to reduce my screen time. 😅
This part!
Anyway when the Trump administration tells you they are concerned about antisemitism, just remember they haven’t told federal agencies that scheduling major events on Jewish High Holy Days is off limits but they do want to deport brown people who oppose genocide You can do the math
Google's search engine was the greatest information retrieval tool I'd ever experienced in my life. So many mysteries unraveled under the scrutiny of a few keystrokes. They lobotomized it *for this*.
Just imagine what is being saved for the book this week.
My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.
Also, just generally, Jerry Nadler has always been a good Congressman and a mensch, and it's good to see him retire gracefully rather than drag it out and maybe lose to that demon twink running against him.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
Graham Greene was one of those actors whose presence was absolutely, 100% guaranteed to make whatever movie or TV show he was in better. He added instant gravitas and authority, reliable stealthy humor and depth beyond whatever was on the page. Should've been Emmy nominated for "Reservation Dogs."

This one hurts. He was great.
Graham Greene has sadly passed away at the age of 73.
Why isn’t he smiling and where’s his spray tan?

Not today, Satan‼️ Got this garbage in the mail a few days ago. Republicans trying to trick California voters into voting NO on Prop 50. Suddenly they care about “democracy”? Please. Vote YES on Prop 50. Don’t let the cheaters write the rules.
“Everything that's getting built is up to the new codes” imposed after Hurricane Katrina, survivor Betty Ruth Hawkins said. “It's new money coming in, rather than families that had relocated being able to come back.”
I have a language suggestion, which everyone can do, but is primarily for media members who value truth and Democratic politicians: Instead of asking and adjudicating if an obvious lie is false, make the fact that it's false your premise. "Why are you lying?" instead of "some say that's not true."
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

I know it’s fiction but one of my favorite movie scenes is when Orson Welles and Ed Wood are commiserating at Musso & Franks over what a bitch it is to get a movie made.
I’ve spent a good amount of time in Poland and this is just honestly how their assholes talk. His wife’s statement is also pretty ass.
Rudy Giuliani absolutely did not try to shortchange a sex worker and then was pursued by her colleagues, don’t you dare suggest such a thing
Oh boy. Rich Polish guy is about to find out Americans don't give a shit. (Libel laws in Europe are very strict and freedom of speech really is one of our few blessings here.)
That is psychotic.

That elides quite a bit of history. Trust did take a hit during Vietnam and Watergate, but it fluctuated after that for a few decades and then spiked after 9/11. It was Iraq, Katrina, and 2008 that caused it to fall off the cliff.
Impulse bought A Matter of Life and Death since I’m overdue to watch it and now I’m crying during the changing of the jury. This is also one of the most wildly underrated sci-fi fantasies I’ve ever seen.

As a result of our lawsuit against the Trump administration, we stopped the dismantling of AmeriCorps and $184 million will be restored for essential public services. This is a major victory for the dedicated AmeriCorps volunteers and the people they serve every day.
There may not be much I can do to keep the Missouri GOP from gerrymandering Kansas City, but I also know something: they will dilute their own base. They could lose. Missouri Republicans attempted to do this a few years ago and then talked themselves out of it for that very same reason.
The Fed is like that character in Clerks who keeps saying he wasn't even supposed to be working that day. Yes, I'm genuinely sorry, this does suck, but it's your job right now and you have to do it. Saying you're not supposed to be political and hoping it passes will not make it pass.
Joe Biden increased this prick's SS protection when he should've drone striked his ass.
I can’t even describe how angry Donald and Joe make me. She does not deserve this shit.
“Another challenge that Louisiana had [in the aftermath of Katrina] is that most of their National Guard troops were in Iraq. And most of their equipment from the Louisiana national guard was in Baghdad.” BRO.
Fucking losing it how little of the reporting I’m reading about the CDC not mentioning how an anti-vaxxer gunman killed a police officer and fired hundreds of rounds at the building 2 weeks ago. An end to end ouroborous of delusional mania. The GOP will probably give the shooter a posthumous medal.
I was extremely fine with his last bit of relevance being his brain implanted into Bill the Cat. But everybody had to hate-watch The Apprentice so fuck me and the country I guess!
I was told my thirties were going to be the best years of my life. So far it's been several years of only Trump and pandemic. I am not thrilled.
Lisbeth digging through the company archives towards the end of Dragon Tattoo was very relatable. 😂 Especially the trudge to the coffee machine after stretching her neck.

Something that’s bugging me in the comments are everyone saying for the amount of money they spent they could have seen real castles in Europe. Except wheelchair users have said many times a lot of Europe is not accessible if you’re disabled and the Disney parks are.

70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
Who’s teed up to replace Torres? Can we get Michael Blake?
He is doing and attempting explicitly authoritarian things. He wants to be a dictator. There is real damage to our government and civil society that we will have to repair. But also he is extremely unpopular and inept and there is real pushback. I suspect he will fail to consolidate but we'll see.
On this day in 1955, two white men abducted and murdered 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi.
Some of y'all are not prepared for the amount of social shunning that we're gonna have to participate in moving forward. We need to be thinking of making the darkest conservative fantasies of cancel culture a reality and you're gonna have to do it to people in your family that you grew up loving.
I've said repeatedly that socially ostracizing these fuckers is one of the best non violent things that can be done. Ignore, don't engage, don't give them the satisfaction of engaging. Just act like they don't exist or a quick expression of disgust and move on. It will fuck them up so much.
They don't feel shame, but they care deeply about status. Wanting to be liked--or at least envied--is their Achilles heel. We can use that against them:it's cheap, non-violent & effective. Social shunning of elites supporting Pinochet helped bring down the Chilean dictator: it can work here too.

The disastrous Adam Friedland interview should be the end of Richie Torres's career as a Democrat, but we'll see the Democratic Establishment protect him and instead double down on criticizing Mamdani. The American people, especially the youth, are done supporting Israel's genocide.
I’m begging yall! I will spend cash! It’s so beautiful!
100% agree! It’s one of the most beautiful shows ever made about New York!
Netflix!
Look at Friedland's face when Torres "rejects the notion" of Israel having the policy of killing civilians seeking aid.
Can he get primaried and by someone who’s not a nutcase?
