i was rereading the bible last week, and flipping through the end of the book of job, and i have basically two conclusions about myself: 1. this is exactly what i am supposed to be doing now, or 2. i am a bad person who is being punished

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

It turns out punishing coup plotters actually is an effective deterrent!

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

Dawg we are talking about 1966, no American white working man was suddenly getting left high and dry by deindustrialization or austerity or recession The only “radical shift in the material conditions” was “you have to let black people into your school/office/shop/apartment block now”

No you know what I'm still mad about this, fuck you, you utter plague of rancid fats, I'm gonna learn MORE about this to tell you to go fuck yourself with an electron microscope let's learn about some Arabic contributors to science that won THE EXACT AWARDS he mentioned

it's really, really fucking infuriating to be ruled by public officials so unbelievably, unfathomably, stupidly fucking racist such that you can't really finish your thoughts on the matter out loud because they are in fact public officials

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

So there’s a postman in my town that wears a leather hat, a short sleeve shirt, and sunglasses; nobody believes me that this person is real because it sounds like a bit from the village people

The other day I got an ad for pre-sale tickets for LCD Soundsystem and I realized, oh shit, we are all old enough to have listened to that music in college and now be middle-aged and want an Amex coupon for it

These guys have won (in practice). Their guys are in power. Cdrsalamander has been whining about how POC, women and other minorities were the only thing stopping the Navy from greatness since like 2007! And they still all sound like a bunch of whiny losers.

we're getting the gang back together

bluntly this is also what destroyed LBJ and led to the nixon landslide, yes vietnam also mattered and was probably #1, but the white working class was infuriated that black folks would also benefit from the great society programs

Vaquera Elisa@boxelderdust.bsky.social

The “something” in question was the workers themselves deciding by 1966 that they no longer wanted New Dealer welfare capitalism if it meant black Americans would benefit from it while anti-war protesters were free to burn the flag

A single billionaire megadonor is propping up the Republican effort to stop Dems from flipping Pennsylvania’s Senate and gaining full control of government—to a much greater degree than Elon Musk is doing it at the federal level

Adam Bonin@adambonin.bsky.social

Via @stephenjcaruso.bsky.social, who really should post here more than there, I'm counting $8.52M from Jeffrey Yass to try to preserve a GOP state senate majority in PA (candidate giving, SRCC, and State GOP) and another $1.1M to stanch the bleeding in the state house, where Dems lead 103-100.

also "cajole"??? you are a fucking co-equal branch of government, with the exclusive power to declare war and to set the budget. you don't have to cajole a strategy you can fucking dictate it.

if that model is correct that is a ~10 %pt swing toward the demoncrat
