🐆National Chair, Leopards Eating People's Faces Party 🐆

Remember, 2/3 of the Senate is not up for re-election and every one of the has investigators on their staff that can and should be digging into this. That's their freaking job - that's why we pay them! Screw the NY Times - this belongs in the Congressional Record!

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions today aimed at Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, beginning processes that could result in DSA-LA being forced to rescind its endorsement of her this weekend and/or Raman herself being expelled from DSA by January.

There's no good reason to repost famous people saying ignorant shit. It just amplifies the ignorance.

You shall know the truth. -On calling misogyny and specifically misogynoir as well as homophobia exactly what it is. John 8:23. #WNBA ⬇️🏀💒⬇️

Jumbotron just showed a sign that said "Move the Hawks game, put the women in prime time."

I see Elton John just bought a treadmill for his pet baby rabbit. It's a little fit Bunny.

WNBA Finals, of course!!

"but my facts" gets you nowhere, rhetorically.

I talk about sales and self-promotion so much as a part of design and research, because it's *harder* to tell a story with the facts on your side. And if you're advocating for the best interpretation of the data or the more appropriate course of action, that's what you're up against.

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

I keep thinking that this is the first #wnba finals series that I’ve seen during an election cycle where the players aren’t wearing “Vote” tee-shirts as part of their warm ups.

“Liberals are the new racists” - ad by Bobby Jindal’s PAC — The audacity of Republicans on racism. They run the Supreme Court, Congress and the White House while deporting anybody brown, shooting anyone who gets in their way and firing as many African American women they can find in government jobs.

Obama and El-Sayed should walk into a Waukesha Cheesecake Factory, while wearing tan suits*, then demand Dijon mustard on their sandwiches*, all while berating a plumber named Joe* for not giving enough credit to government infrastructure* for his success. (* These were all Obama-era scandals)

She shows how a Mike Rogers campaign email pretending to from Black folk is actually from a pac run by a bunch of white folk Stay woke yall

If the Cavaliers-Bucks game can be moved for a World Series game, then a Hawks-Cavaliers game can be moved for a WNBA Championship game. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

In response to plans by the Trump administration to send election monitors to Multnomah County, state and local officials say they’re committed to transparency and warned observers to follow the law.

I’m increasingly convinced we’re all trapped in a long-running Black Mirror episode. Maybe Brad Pitt’s new movie, Heart of the Beast, was stealth marketing for this startup. 😬

Revisiting Steve Yegge’s 8 stages of AI-assisted coding from earlier this year, I’m struck by how what once seemed controversial is now mundane (e.g. coding via CLI instead of an IDE). What feels outdated is measuring progress by how many agents you control instead of how you verify correctness.

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy From Company C

“Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!”

This is explosive. In the Witkoff/Kushner discussions with the Kremlin with respect to the sale to a Trump-backed consortium of LUKoil's foreign assets, Trump has offered a slice of his big Alaska project to a Russian major close to Putin. The structure is designed to entangle US investments

It's worth a try. I'm sticking with those strips you stick on your nose at night for now, though.

When I was a child, we had a saying on the playground. "Oh yeah? You and what army?"

BREAKING — per Randall Williams, Lucas Shaw & Sridhar Natarajan Mark Walter is looking to sell the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks and its practice facility for more than $700 million. This would be the highest selling price of a WNBA franchise if completed.

Protect girls sports: At least one trans kid per team or automatic disqualification. Let's move that overton window baby.

The story I have in my head is that Indiana saw the videos from Balhalla and Atlanta this week - of people having fun, enjoying basketball, selling out arenas, buying merch without being bigots - and realised a different way is possible. #wnba
