No better example than what happened in the Bay Area when progressive DAs and mayors got elected circa 2020. We were inundated with the SF doom loop beat and stories about the shoplifting epidemic that wasn’t (which got a person killed), which ended in a wave of recalls of said progressive electeds.
NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

WNBA website is listing tonight's Valkyries attendance as 18,543. That becomes the new all-time best reported attendance for a non-Finals postseason WNBA game.
Including Finals games, it's the 9th-highest postseason game attendance in league history.

The Fever report attendance of 16,682 tonight for their win.
That's the largest reported attendance for a non-Finals postseason game in the WNBA since New York reported 16,682 at their September 1, 2010 Eastern Conference Semis Game 3 against Indiana.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

I can't remember the details, and can't find them now, for my favorite Robert Redford anecdote, but: When Indecent Proposal was being discussed, someone asked a film critic if she would sleep with Robert Redford for $1 million, and she replied, "Yes, but where would I get the money?"

Robert Redford is rightly being remembered for his work as an actor and director, as he well should be. But let's also not forget his lifetime achievement in being a complete smokeshow. Just hotness through the years.

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

I’m not sure what saying “things are about to get much worse” serves. It’s true but it’s also sort of always true when you’re in the midst of constant escalation. Things will keep getting much worse and I cling to the hope that maybe one day they will get much better.

I don’t owe anyone my sympathy in death who actively advocated against humanity in life. You don’t get to cheer for a violent world and then ask for my sympathies when the world is the wrong kind of violent.

It’s not mean or unkind to live in reality. Lament the state of our political discourse, but don’t give our reality-based truths away to someone’s misfortune or tragedy. Does anyone deserve to get shot for being cruel? Not necessarily. But being a cruel person who gets shot doesn’t make you good.

Utah was the first state to allow open carry on campus. A would-be assailant could walk right onto campus armed as they please and nobody could’ve done a thing about it.
In 2014, Anita Sarkeesian canceled an event at Utah State after a credible assassination threat because the school’s response was that Utah allows guns on college campuses.
People have warned about this kind of violence for years. But they weren’t the people the powers at be wanted to protect.

I don’t ever want to hear a fucking word about how “the left” is to blame for the downfall of the Democratic Party, I hope they all *** *******
Schumer: "For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option. It is not a clean CR. It is deeply partisan. It doesn't address far too many of this country's needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option."
