my favorite aaron sorkin quotes are: "I really fell in love with the phonetic sound of intelligence and the sound of a really good argument" and "I’m not trying to change your mind or teach you anything. I’m not able to teach you anything."

I'm tilted as fuck that @mayor.seattle.gov has helped SPD extort another ~$70 million from the community SPOG ignored her direct orders to help with ICE, worked to undermine her initiatives, and continued to target queer people for violent policing I don't fucking get it @hannahkrieg.bsky.social

Post from @hannahkrieg.bsky.social on Instagram:

Mayor Katie Wilson's budget boosts SPD's budget 13.9% — $488 M to $556 M — to fund 1,250 officers, or 66 new cops.
For comparison, Mayor Bruce Harrell increased police budget from $355 M in '22 to 488.59 in '26 for an average of 9.35% increase each of his 4 years.

Not the police guild using the word "accountability." How many police officers have avoided termination or serious discipline for crimes, brutality, dishonesty, and other serious misconduct thanks to the SPOG contract?

"Progressive positions on immigration, policing, and transgender policy do not resonate with working-class values" feels like a messaging issue rather than a policy issue. Police are structurally anti-working class. Immigrants help the working class. Trans people are IN the working class

Chart comparing Jacobin's "Win-O-Meter" ideal candidate with a Harris-style 2024 Democrat on specific issues

Issue priority
WinOMeter: Leads on jobs, wages, and prices
Harris-Style: Leads with abortion and the threat to democracy

Cultural stance
WinOMeter: Positions resonate with working class
Harris-Style: Progressive positions on immigration, policing, and transgender policy do not resonate with working-class values

Who they fight for
WinOMeter: Centers working-class people
Harris-Style: Centers the middle class

Values
WinOMeter: Messages on working-class values
Harris-Style: Messages on middle/upper-class values that center personal self-expression, college, and merit

Campaign tone
WinOMeter: Populist; sides with ordinary people, not political or economic elites
Harris-Style: Technocratic; avoids populist rhetoric in favor of anodyne phrases like “opportunity economy”

Background
WinOMeter: Has held a working-class job
Harris-Style: Holds a professional job (prosecutor, attorney general, senator, businessperson, vice president)

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

However much you hate British media, it is not enough www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/09...

How having a disability became cool
Young women, nicknamed ‘sickfluencers’, are turning chronic illness into a lifestyle trend and entrenching a culture of economic inactivity

Young women are also more likely to get caught up in “social contagion” – the spontaneous spread of behaviours or emotions previously observed by sociologists in “outbreaks” of bulimia, self-harm and transgender ideology. What may have otherwise been transitory feelings are seized upon and obsessed over until they form a central pillar of a person’s identity. A chronic-illness influencer won’t want to get “better” any more than a female-bodied transgender person would want to re-identify with their sex.

in a country where billionaires are spending billions to influence elections and corruption is legalized, The New York Times continues its attempt to scandalize the fact that young people like Mamdani Something they even admit isn't that scandalous after 20 paragraphs

The mayor's office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani

can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that

when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

Loreto Javar, a green card holder who’s lived in the United States for over three decades and is being treated for Stage 4 prostate cancer, has been held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma for more than two months.

A 76-year-old retired hotel worker who lives in Fife with his wife and daughter, Javar was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials June 23 during an interview for his U.S. citizenship application in Tukwila. He was receiving ongoing cancer treatment when he was taken into ICE custody, his family said, and has missed several medical appointments since his arrest.

Actual adult people who work in the mainstream press talk to this guy and take him seriously. He's a white supremacist, yes, but he's also just a premium sexless dork.

Richard Hanania: The point of a game like Grand Theft Auto is to identify with the character.

By making a female character, the new game will be promoting autogynephilia.

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that, and if they make her bisexual then the game won’t necessarily be unhealthy.

There’s a reason Dr. King's historic August 28, 1963 rally was called “The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.” As he warned the nation, "We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor." Real freedom requires economic freedom for all.
