It would be very off brand of me if I didn't mention that Albuquerque mayor Tim Keller, who won reelection tonight, is a very well known metalhead. #metalsky

A huge night for Democrats:

—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

main economic message from
the president is that you will be poorer and you will like it
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Not only did the Democrat win, it wasn't even close. She got nearly 60% of the vote!
Miami electing a Democrat mayor is huge. HUGE!

Not sure folks understand that, but seriously, stay focused.

My guess is 100% Smash Mouth cover bands.
The lineup announcement for MN Yacht Club 2026 is coming Tuesday morning a month earlier than usual; a sign there's going to be stiffer competition from other festivals and outdoor concerts next year.

Guesses are now running rampant for who's playing.

Guess who's playing Minnesota Yacht Club in 2026? Lineup is coming Tuesday.

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I want Trump to live long enough to see his shitty ballroom get bulldozed.
The question is when will the devil call Trump home?! He looks so unhealthy it’s very possible before the midterms.

this writer learned about the Turners from my book, 'A Physical Education.' Fun fact about APE is that I can tell which reviewers actually read it based on whether they got to this part or not, and let me tell you a hell of a lot of them conclude "cute story of a little girl who learns to exercise"

I don't think enough people appreciate how much Republicans *hate* the United States as it exists today. They despise the idea of a culturally diverse, socially tolerant nation.

Buddy, I gotta tell you, if I was a GOP representative, my ass would not feel comfortable watching a 15-point swing in a deeply red district ahead of a midterm where the President has been behaving erratically while consistently growing more historically unpopular.

The fact that there's been some actual election night suspense on how Tennessee ends is going to be enough to trigger those cold sweats among House Republicans.

And Dems will likely get to point to another (admittedly way smaller!) flip, stay tuned for that.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.
