Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot.

Makes me think of MAO II where DeLillo is talking (in 1991) about how terrorists now occupy the space novelists once held. Novelists once dangerously influenced mass consciousness, now they don't, and terrorists have seized their role.
Oates is from the last generation still trained to kill.

it's difficult to convey to a modern audience how Predator hit - it was 1987, and it had been a decade full of watching beefcake men like this be untouchable god kings, slaughtering their way through hordes of lesser men - and now here they were, getting picked off one at a time, easy victims

i have not watched GDT's Frankenstein but i am firm in my belief that it needs a tie-in adventure/fighting game like the 90s Kenneth Branagh one did on the Sega CD. and they need to keep in elizabeth's roll attack

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

not to be all "oh yeah well what about the OTHER awesome old timey-sounding '70s canadian shipwreck folk song" but if you pay attention to the lyrics of "The Mary Ellen Carter" it is surprisingly detailed and precise about marine insurance underwriting and drysuit salvage operations
Ok I had no idea the Edmund Fitzgerald was a contemporary thing for the song, this is like his Toby Keith 9/11 song but about transporting taconite pellets

"oh shit people don't like our nazi CEO, quick let's remove all the branding from our cars, THAT will fool them!" is an all-time brain genius marketing move, every time I see one of these de-branded piles of crap on the road it gives me a chuckle
Tesla's latest gambit: become a rental car company. As cars pile up in showrooms and storage lots, Elon is trying to rent his way out of a crisis. Good luck, bud. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall electrek.co/2025/11/10/t...
Tesla can’t sell its cars anymore so it is renting them now
Tesla is launching a new car rental program out of its stores in the US, as sales are crashing due...

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Anyway I think one reason I'm not that mad at these guys is we already knew they were the wrong people for this moment. A party trying to carry on with business as usual in the face of autocracy won't survive. They're sitting in a burning house and commissioning polls on how popular the fire is
If you think the president is a tyrant and you're running for office to oppose him the only platform you can have is "Give us enough votes to impeach and remove this menace." Otherwise what's the point of electing you?

You told us to suck it up over Cop City. You told us to suck it up over the complete lie on the $2000 checks. You told us to suck it up over a goddamn genocide (hey, remember that? The genocide? Weird how we just stopped talking about the GENOCIDE). Your strategy has failed. You may sit down now.

sure, the party could spurn communists like me forever. but they decided they could eternally play in the face of the brunch types too. even that has a limit.

As I’ve said many times, one of the core principles of modern liberalism is they don’t actually care about winning, they just care about not feeling bad for losing. We’re already watching this today with the requisite think pieces about how completely caving on the ACA is A Good Thing, Actually.

At this point I do sincerely believe this anti phone and social media drive is rooted in the "social contagion" idea of being trans. They do not think she died because she used her phone, they think she died because people in her phone convinced her she was a girl.
