This cannot surprise anyone who has worked an email job
Putting aside all the horrible shit in them: I cannot believe the global elite composes emails like fucking horses who somehow learned to crudely type. My emails read like Shakespeare compared to the lowercased, unpunctuated screeds written to the worlds biggest pedophile. Fucking write like adults!

I'm listening to Paula Cole's This Fire after watching the Lilith Fair documentary and...holy shit. This album is raw as FUCK and not at all the sanitized image you'd get from her radio hits

This coward needs to be gone and every single one who agrees with him
MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.

My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

The thing @schumer.senate.gov appears to be doing where he gets everybody who’s retiring or was just sworn in to a six-year term to vote yes so he and a bunch more moderates can vote “no” to appear more progressive than they are is so insulting lol

I appreciate the legal reporters explaining the likely reasoning behind the SNAP ruling but also rube goldberg-ing our way to maybe possibly giving food to hungry kids is pretty damning in itself

I thought he was just a guy from LI who didn't want to have to live in NYC under Mamdani. I was wrong, he's from NYC. He has financial ties to Israel and no firefighting experience (he was appointed last summer and uhm a lot was going on). From wikipedia.

After taking a day to reflect, as New Yorker by birth who has always been priced out, and as someone who has been thinking deeply about the practice of Black Studies as it intersects with History, this is where I’m at about Mamdani’s victory:

“Anti-trans positions are not popular & Americans do not like them. But women’s sports leagues like the NWSL should also be paying attention. If they follow the wave of transphobic policy that has taken over women’s sports at all levels, they will be on the wrong side of history & it will be ugly.”
NEW! “Eddy’s appearance on Fox and Friends this morning was perhaps a sign that she is setting herself for a post-soccer career that mirrors another underperforming athlete—Riley Gaines.”
someone tell the women's sports leagues that transphobia is a losing issue
also, have the transphobes tried simply being better at sports??

Perplexed by Ryan Adams. He combined country music with a snotty punk rock attitude, and is also racist and stupid? A head scratcher.

Defense says that the officer's testimony was "very questionable" because he said the sandwich both exploded in spray of mustard and onions and also landed in its wrapper on the ground.
