Nominating El-Sayed was so stupid. Some of us tried to warn people during the primary, but of course other voters needed their Emotional Support Unqualified Male Candidate, so here we are. Better hope Obama can drag this loser over the finish line!

If I were advising Abdul El-Sayed, I might find it interesting that neighborhoods in Farmington have a relatively large number of Mike Rogers signs displayed. Not Rogers signs AND John James (Rep. gubernatorial candidate) signs, mind you. Only Rogers. Just my observations on the ground.

Virtue signaling is good*, actually, because it signals an endorsement of virtues. Given the tremendous right-wing effort to signal and perform vice (televised executions, racist politicized raids, denigration of empathy, etc.) turns out we cannot actually take "lip service to virtue" for granted.

This type of person's politics are actually incredibly easy to understand. They view democracy as a luxury product and feel free fucking around when Democrats are in office and their lives are going well, then panic and beg Democrats to save them when they put Republicans back in office.

fwiw if you want to make a strategic case for congressional democrats trying to impeach trump if they take majorities, i think the first step is impeaching hegseth, the bar is lower and the likelihood of success is probably much higher

The thing is, Mamdani's statement today was terrible and also the fact that he even bothered a slight throat-clearing toward the idea that Israelis are human is enough to make him persona non grata with this bunch. Because they don't agree.

The thing about Ben Collins is that he clearly views himself as a political actor. He came out of political journalism, he has no relevant comedy experience, his partner also came out of political journalism and ran for Congress. So we should view his actions primarily through a political lens.

My favorite part of this bizarre piece is the fact that the author and her husband met at--and "went home together" from--the funeral of a friend who died on 9/11 (!!!???) and that they were 17 at the time. Sure, just throw that out there and then get back to telling us about your open marriage...?

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

I get the worry that no matter how well Dems do, the media will paint it as a disappointment, and as a counterweight to that worry I suggest we all have some self respect and fight like hell and celebrate the wins where they come rather than letting someone else tell us what we’re allowed to do.

A recurring controversy in left-wing spaces is "Was Person X being antisemitic or does he just call everyone he's arguing with a 'filthy lapdog of the globo-capitalist elites who should be liquidated along with his spawn'?" and I'm kind of tired of it, to be entirely honest.

No, it targets people who think that a bar going from having a mask mandate seven nights a week to having a mask mandate six nights a week is *literally genocidal*, and I don't have so much contempt for the disabled, chronically ill, or COVID-conscious to believe that they all think that.
A Bluesky post: "Hey so uhhhhh that Boston Globe story about the lesbian bar relaxing its covid rules is an *absolute fucking hit piece* targeting the disabled, chronically ill, and covid-conscious and it would be great if folks sharing and joking about it could recognize that framing."
