Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

The right gambled, tried to rig the election, lost, and now it’s excuses and tears.

Thanks for everything, Virginia. 🙏🏽

Every time this tailor posts a photo of their workspace, it looks like their dog is a tailor and he's showing off the garments he made.

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.

These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

This is a gluton-for-punishment post, but so be it.

Search engines are dead. Nowadays, I'm using Claude (or duckꓸai, which takes privacy seriously) rather than Google or equivalent as my go-to for finding information.

A golden retriever has both paws up at a bank teller’s window.

“Are you the branch manager?”
“Yes I am, how can I help you?”
“I would like two branches, please.”
“How would you like that?”
“Two big sticks, four little sticks.”

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats. 

Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

This was so joyful to watch!

@Acyn X.com Hannity: The NY Mets are on an 11 game losing streak right after Mamdani hugged the mascot. It's kind of hard to lose 11 games in a row in baseball but he pulled it off.

Wow:

More Corruption from the felon.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

It’s crazy how fast everyone forgot Jeffery Epstein was a jewish spy trafficking children to blackmail American politicians so they did israels bidding

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.

A die-hard Trump supporter told me today he’s done with Trump. He said he won’t vote Republican this Nov. He won’t vote Democrat, he just won’t vote. He said it was this war. “I voted for the fucking OPPOSITE of this,” he said.

It’s just one voter, but I hear the same from others every single day.

oooooooooooo it's happening!

"Obama needed to appear with Mamdani."

"Obama is sane-washing Mamdani."

"Mamdani is more popular than Obama."

"Obama is more popular than Mamdani."

You're all fucking weirdos for saying these things. Just enjoy the cute clips of them in a kindergarten class and shut the fuck up.

The new report on FBI Director Kash Patel cites more than TWO DOZEN sources describing his leadership as a “management failure” and national security risk.

The White House and DOJ didn’t deny the allegations, but deflected.

Patel was the only one who issued a direct rebuttal.

That speaks volumes.

I think one of the reasons generative AI is so deeply grating is that storytelling was an adaptive trait that made (and makes) us human. I'm writing my communication book chapter now and this struck me- not in a present sense but in a deep time sense.
