WATCH: After Zohran's election, some asked us why the ADL — founded to keep Jews safe — is trying to keep Jews afraid with a “Mamdani Monitor.

Mike Johnson: "If there was gonna be an extension, you'd be massive reforms. You'd need income caps. You should not be subsidizing healthcare for wealthy people. You'd also need Hyde protections on those things and other innovations."

Care to share with the class @jay.bsky.team ?
Since Sarah Kendzior’s account has been restored for a “death threat”- I’m wondering why Link’s hasn’t… does Bluesky take alleged threats against their CEO more seriously than ones against other people? Will Patton Oswalt also have a full account ban?

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.
It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

As a current weekend bartender who has bartended everywhere from swanky clubs to Irish pubs, my advice to young women in bars & clubs is this:
Treat it like you're in the faerie realm: Never accept drinks from strange men and never give them anything in return, especially your true name.

In my experience, it wasn't framed as a compliment, but a wink-wink, nudge-nudge "Yeah she's too young but she's SO hot so...😉😉"
Which, I guess, was always a compliment between men. Ugh.

I want people to understand that in my youth, a youth that happened somewhere between the youth of Epstein, Trump, Maxwell, ex-Prince Andrew, et al & that of their victims, the term "jail bait" was framed as a compliment.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.
