@electdemocrats.bsky.social do you endorse this spam bullshit? Really?
@hamilton4kansas.bsky.social no disrespect but I have not been following your campaign and this is not a good first impression.
@peggyflanagan.bsky.social making your opening text a desperate pitch with a fake midnight deadline is not a good look.
@electdemocrats.bsky.social do you endorse this spam bullshit? Really?
data4democracy.substack.com/p/hook-and-s... Thanks @adambonica.bsky.social for reporting on this garbage.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov Iโm a big fan but this is so disappointing.

Pet peeve: Cd times area is what matters for efficiency, not just Cd. Companies will brag about low Cd on a bloated SUV and itโll get reported as something impressive. For EVs the thing I actually care about is miles/kWh at different speeds, which is the result of Cd * A and drivetrain efficiency.
lmao. This whole post is great but the screenshotted bit is my favorite. Thanks @danluu.com danluu.com/zitron/
@repkimschrier.bsky.social I canโt believe youโre still voting with MAGA on stuff like H.R. 4795. And then you turn around and tell constituents how much youโre standing up to Trump. Total disappointment and failure of leadership.
@propublica.org wtf is this. If this is backed up by facts then go research it yourselves. Thereโs no reason to link to the Daily Caller. Also, Iโd prefer you stay in the โresearch something deeply for months, consult multiple expertsโ lane and not just try to be sensational.

I have emailed @wadems.org about this awful tactic before. No reply. I wonโt give them a cent until they apologize and do better. (I will keep knocking doors to get out the vote so donโt tell me to get off the couch and quit griping.) cc @shasti.bsky.social
The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. Itโs infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC donโt just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.
Every time someone in aerospace writes โAOPโ for argument of perigee my brain goes โAlexandria Ocasio Portezโ and I canโt make it stop
it should be illegal for a politician to share a three letter initialism with an encryption algorithm, or indeed any of the 50 to 100 or so abbreviations i personally actually know by heart
@robinsparkman.bsky.social @sengelberg.bsky.social thank you for negotiating with the guild in good faith. Iโm looking forward to more excellent work from your team.
๐จ WE HAVE A DEAL! After three years, in a major step forward for our members, we have ratified our first contract with @propublica.orgโs management. We deeply appreciate everyone who supported us along the way. Here are some of our big wins๐

@pablo.show you might not want to hear this but the smooth jazz episode was one of my favorites all year
@cantwell.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov wanna not get primaried? this is a good start! (particularly the part where we do it and then get to see him cry about it)
Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."
hahaha thanks for reminding me of this excellent adventure, @thisamericanlife.org
@repkimschrier.bsky.social Iโm disappointed but not surprised. Good luck with your next primary! Your voters wonโt forget.

Podcast producer Sabby Robinson knows firsthand how important layoff protections are in a union contract: โI started about 3 months ago, right after I got laid off from the Washington Post.โ We deserve seniority-based layoff protections that are standard across the news industry.

Mamdani's speech at the Knicks parade was easily the best I've ever heard at an event of that sort. I posted the whole thing on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Highly recommended.

Fascists in Belfast set fire to buildings with people inside them. People of colour left work early to stay indoors. This is being actively encouraged by the worldโs richest man whose openly pro-white nationalist platform X is still used by the UK government www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The last time the Knicks were in the NBA Finals, CPSC was monitoring for products on the "World Wide Web" to concentrate on the "growing number of products for sale in cyberspace." The team was doing this using, "computers and telephone lines." www.cpsc.gov/Newsroom/New...

@nytimespr.bsky.social whatโs up with this? No statement? No examination of past reporting by @matinastevis.bsky.social for other fabricated quotes?
personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com โ certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country โ asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.
@timkmak.bsky.social it would be great to move The Counteroffensive to another platform. Iโm still paying for it but I feel crummy every month when I see the receipt.
Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.
