I think if you survive more than one execution attempt by the state, you should get a pass.

Here’s the problem: these are ALL real problems. Overwhelming, existential, catastrophic, and how-do -you-get-out-of-bed-in-the-morning bleak issues we are facing.

Here’s what I keep thinking about the midterms. We are going to see. Very clearly. Where the people of this country are at. I honestly have no idea. How are the people in each state reacting to what the holy hell is going on from wherever they get their perspective from.

Too many people online seem to conflate left politics with being obnoxious and scathing and Mamdani is such a model for combining a principled ideological vision with civility and grace. You shake hands, you act like a grown up even whether others aren’t. You show up.

When Democrats take the House, they must understand they are not a governing party.
They are a dissident movement.
Act like it.
First day:
- cut off all funding of Exec. Branch
-vote to nationalize Starlink and SpaceX
-defund ICE
That's the first day.
On the second, get more aggressive.
There is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos.

Usually reporters get leaks FROM the White House -- but at Fox News, a reporter appears to have leaked TO the White House. That's according to @oliverdarcy.bsky.social's explanation of the sudden Maria Bartiromo erasure by the Murdochs

Status has learned that Bartiromo's termination stems from an incident, which has not previously been reported, that occurred in July. After Trump delivered his unhinged prime time speech in which he pushed more conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, this time making a number of allegations against China, I am told that Fox News issued guidance to senior employees instructing them to steer clear of giving credence to Trump's delusional claims. I'm told that the guidance was issued in writing. Indeed, the day after Trump's prime time address, Fox News conspicuously avoided covering the debunked claims the president had pushed. The lack of coverage raised eyebrows among media observers at the time. It also appears to have caught the attention of the White House. It's unclear whether Trump or someone at the White House inquired with Bartiromo about the lack of coverage. But ultimately Bartiromo spilled the secret, Status has learned, divulging to the White House that Trump's speech had received scant coverage on the channel because network bosses had ordered it so. I'm even told the text message in which Fox News brass offered their guidance was shared by Bartiromo with the White House. In doing sO. Bartiromo not only effectively betrayed her employer, but also disclosed confidential company information, violating the terms of her employment agreement.

We should rip his face and name off absolutely everything he’s had the audacity to ruin. Undo all of it. The moment he’s out of office. With one exception. Leave that festering hole where the East Wing used to be exactly as it is. Let it be a reminder of what America almost threw away.

The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

The reason politicians don’t support MFA is because the insurance industry would tank. Because the only way they can remain profitable is by denying coverage. Send them the way of Big Tobacco. They can take tech with it. I want proper insurance in a mostly analog world.

This has been a hard summer. Everyone I’ve come across says their work place is needlessly awful. I think it’s because it is now in-your-face abundantly clear that climate change is here. It has become worse. All of it. And people know this, and know it will continue on this path.
