Something about that hyphen between 1776 and 2026 makes it read like birth and death dates.
Unintentional but perhaps appropriate!

The MTG Talk Show Redemption Tour—in which she gets to sit around and laugh and chat with the media types—is fucking gross.

Since Tuesday, every time 47 uses the word “affordability” he sounds like that mediocre kid in class who heard another student get praised by the teacher for using it, so now he uses it all the time even though he doesn’t understand what it means.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Quite a team.

All-female team led by Elana Leopold, a known Dem strategist; also Melanie Hartzog, who once led the NYC’s health and human services and budget offices; former dep mayor Maria Torres-Springer, and Lina Khan, the former FTC commissioner who campaigned with Mamdani

Can you think of any blaxploitation films (or even just black films from the ‘70-‘77) that feature scenes with singers in them—real singers of the time or fictional characters in the film?
Thank you!!

One of the great joys of Zohran's victory is that NYC finally has a mayor who doesn't give a shit about what the New York Times thinks of him

Always wild to watch cable news the day after democrats do well.
Especially in the age of the orange blimp.
The pundits can never quite hide their disappointment over not being able to diss the dems as hard as they want.

Trump didn’t sue CBS for editing an interview, he sued CBS for not making him look good.
Despite knowing the suit was bullshit and having the law on their side, CBS paid him.
When they edit an interview with Trump to make him look better than reality does, that is consistent with their settlement.

So wait:
Mamdani’s smile is disingenuous? (I’m hearing folks say he smiles too much, too readily, and a lady on Twitter said it’s a typical “fuck boy smile”)
Didnt they have issues with Kamala’s laugh and smile?
Why these bitches hate joy so much?

That moment when Cuomo is trying to clarify his (dumbass) comment that “diversity can be a strength but also a weakness” and then proceeds to call the black gay host by the name of the *other* black gay host while answering.
Then does it again when answering another question.
