Centrist Democrats Are the Actual Traitors to Their Party
While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle.

Well, I sure as shit ain't there for nicotine...
Ben Shapiro warning about grifters is like a vape shop putting up a “No Nicotine” sign.

Not the craziest thing I ever heard...
occurs to me that we might be getting the "there's a problem of lonely males with no friends or romantic partners" and "there's a lucrative industry of toxic male influencers who tell young men to act like assholes" causation arrow backwards

What are your favorite examples of an actor disappearing into a role, such that you don't recognize them at all? Off the top of my head, I would give it to Karen Gillan as Nebula. I don't primarily mean the makeup, although it obviously helps. I definitely don't see Any Pond in Nebula at ALL.

Totally thought it said Led Zeppelin at first...
Turns out allowing pesticide companies to put PFAS and forever chemicals on our food is a really, really bad idea.

Trump take job
Tyson is shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant in January 2026. That’s 3,200 workers gone in one shot, the largest plant shutdown in company history.
Blame Trump’s tariff chaos and the lowest cattle inventories in decades. Tariffs jack up costs. Supply shrinks. Plants close. Towns hollow out.

I mean, yeah, obviously Akaash Singh's wife is a borderline sociopath with no regard for his best interests, but it's not like he really deserves better, so I guess I just don't see the problem..?

Rewatched some Star Trek tonight.
Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human.
Every episode says the same thing in its own way:
‘Be curious. Be brave.
…Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”

Sometimes I say '0h, that's a nice camera," but I'm not really capable of meaning more than "Oh, that's a big lens."

@keezyyoung.bsky.social oh, hey, don't burn yourself! I forgot to mention, you should always have a layer or two between the toe warmers and your skin, and this is especially true anywhere OTHER THAN your feet!

Still a banger...
If y'all first saw Hillary Clinton in any context other than adversarial US politics, she would strike you as a condescending, reactionary Karen. The kind of person who complains about her neighbors to the HOA. She would remind you of all the worst supervisors you've ever had. She's not our hero.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵
