For those of you watching 🏒The Gay Hockey Show™️—aka Heated Rivalry—allow me to go on a neurodivergent rant about how Connor Storrie’s Russian language work is so stunningly perfect that it makes me feel like I have wasted a decade of my life. We begin with this chart and the worst/best vowel ever! 🧵

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

I drive a car that I can plug into my house and thanks to solar panels get all the energy it needs for daily driving without my electric bill going up. Why the hell would I want to go back to the 1970s? Everything exciting in cars is from abroad with better and smarter innovation on electrics.

man, Jacob Tierney seems like a sweet and lovely person. he's generous and lovely about the romance genre, he makes good sex scenes, and he's protective of his actors.

gay hockey show was always going to be fun but this is like pasture-raised grass-fed free-range organic gay hockey show.

this man has blood on his hands and everyone who supported him and excused him has blood on their hands and I do not want to hear a single fucking Democrat with any position other than "impeach and remove him immediately"

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Democratic leaders should not rely on litigating their way out of this. Take action now. Arrest these guys. Throw them in jail.

Make *Republicans* file the lawsuits. Make *THEM* argue before a judge or jury why they were justified in kidnapping a preschool teacher in front of her children.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."

This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

IT'S NOT AN "IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN" IF THEY ARE HARMING AND KIDNAPPING AND TERRORIZING PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

The Democrats won several VA House seats where winning looked like a pipe dream going into the election. The Dems won these seats because they recruited candidates and actually campaigned. Important lesson for 26--the electorate is pissed--but you can only win when you run. Run everywhere!
Democrats contested all 100 Virginia House of Delegates races. Part of the party’s statewide success is due to the synergies between the legislative and statewide campaigns—even the losing ones. This is a big reason why Jay Jones won comfortably. This is a model the Dems should emulate everywhere

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

Imagine being so dedicated to stealing people's healthcare that you let letters telling them that their premiums were about to spike by 100-500% go out 3 days before an election, while you were also trying to starve 40 million people to bully the other party into letting you steal the healthcare.
