Coming from a United Methodist family, I'm really rooting for the guy, and would be very interested to see where he winds up fitting into the Senate.

Then again, I grew up in a household where my dad, on the rare occasions that he did watch sports, would sit constantly muttering about how his preferred team was going to blow it and choke, so ... 🤷‍♂️

I'm a lifelong Democrat, and this is ... fine? Do you take umbrage at the old Will Rogers line about not being a part of any organized political party? Or the Simpsons gag of "We Hate Life and Ourselves"? If we can't laugh at our side and its occasional ineptitude, we might as well be Republicans.

Feels like they know they're going to lose (generally, not in FL specifically) and need to raise the stakes from "the opposition party won legislative majorities" to "Un-American socialist infiltrators have infested our government". Prime the pump to vilify and delegitimize a Dem Congress.

It's such a bizarre choice on his part to not only choose Durham, but the very same block that ran out a church/coffeehouse for similar reasons within the last few years, and which LGBTQ folks have claimed as a significant social hub for them within the city.

Trumpet. And it was fine, certainly good enough for the crowd at DeLaSalle's annual PastaFest music department fundraiser. Just not up to the standards of the guy who posted "holy shit, Leroy Bach quit Wilco?!" to LiveJournal.

I did not serve, but I did accompany our show choir with the jazz band in a Beach Boys medley that, in the words of my 2003 hipster friend "would make Brian Wilson cry, and not in the good way".

Also glad they put "Old MacDonald had a pterodactyl" in the trailer - that's the first bit of hers I can remember hearing from the Comedians of Comedy tour documentary, and I knew she was just operating on an entirely different level.

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?...

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 will say it wasn't at all what I expected. I thought it was going to be a bawdy modern country tune celebrating trucks and brisket and football and what have you but it's more a traditional country cry in your beer song about a Tennessee gal being left for a Texas one. Kind of Temu Kacey Musgraves

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.

Insanely jealous that your kids are into the greatest of the Disney Afternoon lineup. I'm still trying to sell my 4.5 year old on DuckTales. Told him it was the Paw Patrol of my day, but no dice.

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.

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.

You are right in that if I knew you were on Bluesky and name searching for posts about yourself, I wouldn't have been so glib, especially considering it's work about something so complicated and difficult in your personal life.

I'm just Jeff, your friend who cares @leffjakin.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I really meant that as in "for whatever reason, this guy's whole deal has never worked for me" -surely I'm not the first person to have said that. I really don't think you're a bad person! Lots of people I like and respect like you a good deal.

Really didn't mean to drag either of you into it, had no idea y'all were on Bluesky to be honest. Very nice that you're supportive of each other's projects about a very difficult and challenging thing. Enjoyed your episode of Game Changer this season!

Sorry man, just goofing on you a bit with an internet pal about preferring your ex - I agree it's weird, but that's the internet age! I'm sure it's a great special and you're a gent in it, but you've got to expect people to have takes! Thanks for your work as a strike leader in 2023 - solidarity ✊
