@notcapnamerica As an elder Millennial, I've seen my fair share of unhinged fandom behavior, but it seems like stan culture has escalated over the last few years.

@Fly_Sistah It's so wild, because we witnessed people warn that this would happen.

It took her far too long to realize this.
In private, Ocasio-Cortez has fumed about the criticism, believing it's unfair and counterproductive for the progressive movement. AOC has "lamented that the left was not there for her, that they are never pleased."axios.com/2026/04/12/aoc…

Bateman and David Harbour are giving a modern-day MASTERCLASS for their fellow male actors.
There are also legitimate twists and turns in the story that don't feel like cheating.

I mean, Clark Forrest is the nicest, most wholesome character that Jason Bateman has ever played.
Plus the exploration of masculinity and gentleness, sexuality, and friendship. Not enough people are talking about this show.

Watching the DTF St. Louis finale, and I have NO ONE to discuss this with.
There is so much to unpack. So. Freaking. Much.

@dcinsb I'd encourage you to research California Democratic politics, if you don’t think there are leaders and influencers who contribute to which candidates receive support and funding. And, honestly? That's not a crazy concept, and it's pretty common across politics.
English
@WriterWarrior wtf apparatus or leadership do you think controls who chooses to run as a Democrat? 🤡
English
The problem with California Dems, and the leaders of the apparatus, is that they clearly knew Swalwell was a known sex offender. And folks still endorsed him, as if their closer staff wouldn't have warned them of the rumors.
The so-called "electability" convo needs to go.

And, to clarify, I don't think the CA golden boy is a sex offender.
I just think he's made a slew of poor decisions that haven't come out yet.
There's only one CA Dem whose entire past has been laid bare for the world, litigated and re-litigated for no less than seven years.
English
I still think back to how those CA leaders and donors saw the same reality before them that we all saw: Trump or Harris.
And they still turned their noses, crossed their fingers, dragged their feet, whispered to the press.
The existential threat wasn't really a threat for them.
English
@FishBanc I guess I don't really see the 3D chess with his comments. I think he's the only 2028 contender who confidently acknowledges Harris's place in a party where influencers and donors would prefer she moved on. He doesn't take the bait from folks who want to pile on her.
English
@WriterWarrior defended. When he says that it is a choice *not to* say a reason for why she *should* run because he would see that as detrimental to his chances.
English
If you are a candidate or a supporter referring to someone's "right to run" it's a terrible sign for that someone. No one wants that endorsement. No one should ever be elected President for what THEY deserve, but rather, for what those they serve deserve. Pritzker knows this.

.@JBPritzker on @KamalaHarris possibly running for President in 2028. “Her voice is very important, yes! She has every ability, every right to run, and indeed I think she’s very popular w/ quite a lot of people. The voters are gonna have to decide in a long primary process.”

I have spent my entire career reporting on sexual misconduct by politicians. The barrier to publication anywhere with good lawyers is very, very high. Getting women to speak and share personal records and acquire corroboration from friends and colleagues is extremely difficult.
English
The arrogance required to run for public office in 2026 when you have a checkered past...
