My favorite standup of all time is probably @mariabamford.bsky.social, and I'm thrilled she's gotten the documentary treatment. If it brings her even one new fan, the world will be a better place for it. youtu.be/36ZEt48kU7k?...

Does this mean the "should Abdul El-Sayed be associating with Tim Robinson" discourse can begin?

i think andy beshear has thrived as a democrat in kentucky not because everyone in kentucky necessarily respects his beliefs but because he says what he actually believes and voters respect a politician who sayswhat they actually believe.

Hell yeah, dude. If our starting point isn't compassion and empathy for everyone, especially the marginalized and vulnerable, then we've already lost.

I have listened to Choosin' Texas so you don't have to. It's ... fine. The most aggressively fine thing I've ever heard. You are missing nothing spectacular nor horrifying by not hearing it. Long may it reign atop the charts in its fineness.

Saturday at the Durham Farmers Market, watching the kid go down the slide, Sylvan Esso DJ set pulsing away in the background. Pretty nice day!

When I saw Wilco earlier this year, Jeff Tweedy lamented his lack of a runaway hit in the band's long career. Looks like his ship is finally about to come in!

I'll admit that there's some small part of me hoping that @electrolemon.bsky.social being on the season finale of @gamechanger.dropout.tv that happens to drop on this particular day might all add up to something, even though I know that's unlikely.

On one hand there's no reason to believe this stranger isn't making this up, on the other it's the exact kind of knowledge that someone whose bio starts with "hooper" would have in Colorado so who's to really say

Reminder that JD Vance had a decade long friendship from law school with a trans classmate, even providing them with baked goods following a transition-related medical procedure. He knows better, and he doesn't care. He'll embrace any hatred, cruelty, and bigotry in service of power.

The default line when pressed on this issue for all good and decent people ought to be "let the kids play". There are plenty of nuances within that, and fair and reasonable discussions to be had, but the starting premise should be one of inclusivity.

I don't think Democrats fully understand how many moms (and dads!) there are out there who align with and aspire to make a difference like Ms. Rachel does. Tremendous amount of political energy they could be harnessing. (which, of course, assumes it's the sort of energy they want to be harvesting)

Seconded. If every other pundit out there annoys the shit out of you, David and Jon might be the answer. Clear eyed, level headed political talk that's cynical and hopeful in appropriate measure. And frequently just plain silly and fun to listen to.

A nice little message for your Constitution Day from @jamellebouie.net In addition to a reckoning for the Trump administration, meaningful Constitutional reform ought to be a project of our next Democratic president. youtu.be/RKzNkJqw5Lc?...

I remember my parents having a go at watching SNL post-9/11 just out of curiosity as to how they were handling things, and walked away utterly baffled by this.

Yes, the cast and crew of 'The Master of Disguise' did hold a moment of silence on set to reflect on 9/11. And yes, Carvey was in full turtle get-up. The impromptu ceremony just didn't actually happen on 9/11. defector.com/master-of-di...

We've got a Muslim man running the most multicultural city in the world and making space for all the people in it. That's what cultural victory over fundamentalism looks like, it's a shame that there's a part of the population that couldn't identify a cultural victory if it slapped them in the face.

Dude, have the guts to state this shit in the affirmative. "I support trans athletes playing in girls sports, provided it doesn't endanger safety or fairness" Means the exact same thing in terms of policy, but puts you in control of the framing. This shouldn't be that difficult!

What a perfect document of where we were at emotionally, culturally, and of course satirically at that particular moment in history. I remember seeing it at the time and thinking "they got it. they got exactly what we needed".

A Democratic midterm convention would absolutely pop off this year. The slate of Senate candidates we've got running in the most competitive races is so dynamic and worth shining a spotlight on as a unified team and the future of the party.

This reads to me like AOC finding common ground on food safety legislation with people she literally has nothing else in common with, and Politico using that relationship to fuck her over with Democrats. In other words, nothing to see here.

Really cool position we're in where a chunk of the center left punditocracy and the politicians who listen to them seem to be willing to risk blowing control of the Senate and handing the GOP their first Senate seat in Michigan of the 21st century just because the alternative is a Muslim guy winning

I do wonder how much of the Hasan Piker controversy is algorithmic - the most divisive voices being amplified and pushing more people who ordinarily wouldn't care or know about him into the fray. All the more reason for those who can control the discourse to shut it down entirely and not engage.

There’s something so beautifully, earnestly Roger Ebert about him stopping in the middle of this anecdote to say, essentially, “because I am me, you may think this is a story about her tits. I NEED VERY MUCH FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT.”

The thing about Dolly Parton is she was so free of pretension towards fame and kind of silly that it took awhile growing up before I realized she was also one of the greatest songwriters in American history

I don't think people without kids understand the extent to which Dolly Parton is beloved as The Book Lady by every child in America. Knowing literally nothing else incredible about her other than being the lady who cares about them enough to send a book in the mail every month. It's beautiful.
