So a guy who’s been recorded on video tape slapping the shit out of his wife, and a bunch of guys with cte acting as the official mouthpiece of the white house. Fuck it, I can think of worse options. At least this way no one in the media needs to pretend the press secretary has any poise.

    She’s not even on the ballot this election. Or are we going to have to hear about her forever like Hillary? Seems far better to rejoice in their political careers ending and move on.

    One of the most depressing things I’ve read, but absolutely engrossing. Which is kind of how it goes with John Steinbeck. I don’t have netflix, but I’d be interested to see how they’ve reworked it to center on Florence Pugh’s character.

    I just can’t believe that Tafoya has any chance at Minnesota. Watching her campaign it’s like she got contact CTE from being on the sidelines of all those nfl games. As part of an interview she not only said she was an out of stater from California, but also said when Minnesotans vacation in Ohio (lol) they are ashamed to admit they are from Minnesota. Unbelievable that she spent a career as a reporter after listening to her speak.

    For real, El-Sayed had such a strong response that he’s posting it on his campaign socials and they are claiming it had a negative news cycle. If they want to keep sending kids out to stand awkwardly as they get made a fool of before walking out with their head low, then go right ahead.

    Well yeah, I’m sure the guy who is on video speaking at a church about how funny it was to see his kid cry ‘don’t beat me’ does think that it represents his values.

    Missed the email for my reservation by a couple days (I’m in the by September group) but luckily after opening a help ticket they gave me a new window to purchase it. Just wanted to put it out there in case someone also misses there and a as a general good guy Steam. Excited to finally get my hands on one.

     

    I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day since someone else posted a cover of it earlier. This is the second version released by original artist Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (Will Oldham), and was released after Johnny Cash covered it as part of his ‘I’m dying so here’s a billion covers to make you bawl’ phase, giving it a more uplifting feel with the thumping drum and backup vocals. One of my favorite post-depression jams for coming back to the world.

     

    The chairman of the New York State Democratic Party said on Thursday that he would not support Zohran Mamdani, his party’s nominee for mayor of New York City, citing fundamental disagreements over Israel and democratic socialism.

    The position puts the chairman, Jay Jacobs, directly at odds with both Democratic primary voters and Gov. Kathy Hochul, his de facto boss, who endorsed Mr. Mamdani on Sunday despite her own differences with the nominee.

    Mr. Jacobs, a moderate from Long Island, was so opposed to the governor’s endorsement that he told associates in recent days that he would sooner resign as chairman than back Mr. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist, according to people who spoke with the chairman.

     

    Does this book ever pick up? I’m about a quarter of the way in and so far ‘The Adventures of Mary Sue As She Looks For A Date’ is just not doing anything for me. I remember tears ago hearing of it and thought it’s political world building, but so far it seems to be nothing more than ‘theater kids rule the world but- no touching.’ It seems like it wants to dive into the politics, but then again very other page it derails itself itself with ‘those damn eyes.’

    Idk, I guess I’ve probably already made up my mind, but would be interested to know if it ever gets out of its own way.
