People hate that stupid ballroom. I keep on encouraging Congress to sue as a representative body to tear it down. Sometimes, you take the easy win, Dems.

THANK YOU

Why the vet is so expensive lately (exactly what you suspected)

Great exploration of Philadelphia's streets, and a little about Philadelphians. This guys gets us.

if you are raped, the GOP will blame you for it and the Republican Vice President will call you a liar. the media has nothing to say about these facts.

Very sensible 🧵

I'm very disappointed that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. There was no way for me to anticipate that.

Fabulous @kathygriffin.bsky.social show in the Philly burbs last night. Go she her — she is fighting for your right to talk shit about terrible people. Plus plastic surgery, emotional support dogs and brand-new material on Katie Zacharia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not eager for baseball season to end, but I am looking forward to never seeing Sydney Sweeney in her underpants again.

There are only 20 days until Election Day, but did you know you can submit your ballot early in Philly now? I recently dropped my ballot off at one of @phillyvotes.bsky.social official drop boxes!

Yankees Elimination Day was satisfying, but I have to imagine Dodgers Elimination Day will be even sweeter.

most people i know have a hard time accepting a compliment, let alone an award, and this man is out here begging for the nobel peace prize. GET A GRIP!!

Why I'm rooting for the White Sox this week.

It needs to be loud and fucking clear that Pete Hegseth is so completely overwhelmed by the failed war he created, that he is resorting to a barbaric spectacle that has no place anywhere in the United States.

Ugh, NO THANK YOU

The rot inside our government is going to last decades. Any Dem who suggests we just “turn the page” like Obama and Biden did needs to be run out of town. We need vengeance and cleansing.

The BS ad that’s running during the Guardians-White Sox game:

All due respect to our great blue cities across the nation - all wonderful places to be! - but nowhere is going to deliver on the Day When It Finally Happens like our hatin’ asses in Philadelphia.

Okay, Mets fans, it’s *The New Yorker’s* weekly caption contest. Caption away!

Long line to get into my dental appointment, because security is quizzing everyone to see if they have any measles symptoms. Things are going great!

Good news for Inky employees and subscribers (gift link)

we should normalize the social shaming of bad people. sorry you don't think your Maine summers are as idyllic as they used to be, John Roberts. but you sold democracy to the highest bidders among your friends you don't get to summer without sometimes seeing a kayaker with a poster that says you suck

I wish everyone could see how disgusting, dishonest and just plain stupid Republicans are acting at this Jack Smith hearing.

Don’t beg. That’s pitiful.

🧵 Will watch this on HBO if I have to, but relish the idea of seeing it at my local theater with a roomful of scornful seniors

This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

You can tell, with all of the explicit ethnic cleansing making everything worse and more expensive, the GOP's next target is just to go all out on gender wars. Everyone on X or Rumble is complaining about nagging women 24/7, with brief respites for holocaust denial. Full 4chan incel GOP incoming.

Great reporting on a story where everything is awful: local cops collaborating with ICE, a family without its dad, a congregation without its pastor, US senators coming up empty, a one-way ticket to Haiti.

The sticker on the pump is 🧑🏻‍🍳 💋

No kidding. (gift link)

Ahh!! By the time I was eight years old I had this entire cast album memorized. Cannot wait to see this on stage, with this cast.

Senator Kim, thank you for posting the tannest and hunkiest Springsteen

Well, that’s that.

Happy to see local media chaining Susan Collins to that big orange anchor.

Aye yai yai, this thread. Among other points he makes: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar -- three of the most repressive countries in the world -- will own 49.5% of Paramount Warner Brothers, and CBS, and CNN. What could possibly go wrong?

I read this whole profile of Blanca Zhuzhingo hoping to learn she is the origin of the verb “to zhuzh”

Galvanizing 🧵 on impeaching Hegseth. Just do it.
