I love the "are you fucking kidding me??" energy here!!

Oh… you belong in the next theater over for “Stanky Whale Head Strapped to Mah Car’

This isn't the movie I bought a ticket for...

Did you see the recent IVP Poll I posted? The results are quite different!

I'm not excited about any of the candidates, quite frankly. And pretty sure we'll end up with Wiener.

Anyone know how to stream Wednesday's debate for free?

For anyone who doesn't know the news I'm referring to:

Trying to appease instead of fighting the Trump admin seems to make organizations like the SPLC easier targets. After reading this account a few weeks ago, I'm not at all surprised to hear today's news. Truly a shame.

It would be a shame if he had an accident with that.

Yeah, I use DDG on my computer, but when it doesn't find what I'm looking for, I often have to go back to Google.

That definitely fits with the billboard picture. I've never heard of it, though!

But he probably spills his alcohol all over himself often enough to keep his hands clean-ish.

Britain left leaderless after Sir Keir Starmer does not resign as prime minister In a stunning turn of events, Sir Keir Starmer has left the nation leaderless after he failed to offer his resignation as prime minister.

Yesterday, Starmer was forced to defend his perfectly rational decision to hire the Prince of Darkness as ambassador to the US. Starmer had initially claimed ignorance, insisting he had no idea he was prime minister at the time of the appointment.

My parents and aunts/uncles all had horror stories about the corporal punishment at school. I'm old enough to have attended primary school when it was still legal. I've always thought nuns were evil as a result.

I grew up going to the Fairview Grand and Fairview Park, just across the street. My father attended St. Joseph's School, which is just steps away from where the cinema was. When I was a teen, I used to go to a dance there on Friday nights that always ended with Sinatra's "My Way." Memories....

Yeah, I was in Dublin in the 80s and I have no recollection of Twink having her own drink then (I do remember that TP ad though!). I just googled it to see if I could get any info on it, but I couldn't find a thing. If anyone remembers what that billboard was about, I'd love to know!

That is how you do it. 🔥🔥🔥

Yep, he's running for CA governor.

Boom! Never heard of this guy till @vox.com thought it would be cool to normalize white nationalism by platforming this POS on their podcast, Today, Explained. I much preferred your Christianity, Explained.

His "comeback" was pathetic.

Typo

Top two in the primary will face off in November, so if the two Rs get the most votes, CA will be guaranteed a R governor.

Go fuck yourself sideways, Tucker.

Candidate Share Party Xavier Becerra, Voting Rights Attorney 23.03% D Steve Hilton, Small Business Owner 19.7% R Chad Bianco, Riverside County Sheriff 16.68% R Tom Steyer, Climate Advocate 13.9% D Katie Porter, Consumer Protection Advocate 11.39% D None / Other 8.07% Matt Mahan, Mayor of San Jose 4.25% D Betty Yee, Family Care Navigator 1.12% D Antonio Villaraigosa, Housing Affordability Advocate 0.99% D Tony Thurmond, CA Superintendent of Public Instruction 0.87% D

Very different results from the latest IVP Poll, which has Becerra (D) now leading the pack and Hinton (R) in second place.

Yeah, I'd never heard of them. The sample size was 900 though, not 90.

Plato turns in his grave.

When Plato developed his "philosopher king" theory he definitely did not have broligarchs in mind. Philosopher kings don't want power, which is part of why they are so suited to rule. They also have a very specific education that makes them love the truth and knowledge. Our tech overlords ain't it.

Q5: If Eric Swalwell were not in the race and the 2026 primary election for Governor were held today, for whom would you vote? Frequency Valid Percentage Steve Hilton, Republican Party 162 18% Chad Bianco, Republican Party 126 14% Tom Steyer, Democratic Party 144 16% Xavier Becerra, Democratic Party 90 10% Betty Yee, Democratic Party 18 2% Matt Mahan, Democratic Party 36 4% Katie Porter, Democratic Party 90 10% Antonio Villaraigosa, Democratic Party 9 1% Someone else 18 2% Not sure 207 23%

Latest Kreate Strategies Poll has Hilton (R) in first place and Steyer (D) in second, with almost one quarter still undecided.

Yes, and some others at the bottom should do the same thing.

This is not exactly something sucky, but more like the absence of something positive. I'm hearing some progressives express support for him, but what does he stand for that's progressive? As a CA voter, I'd like to know as I'm still undecided.

Woot!! See you in SF.
