@ZaidJilani @JakeAuch How does one get an “accidental tattoo?” Did he slip and fall onto a tattoo needle?
English
Susan Collins is a rubber stamp for the worst admin in history. Claims that I would endorse her, implicitly or otherwise, ignore my track record supporting Democrats to take back both chambers. As I said months ago, I find Platner's Nazi tattoo and his commentary about it personally disqualifying. If it were me I'd vote for someone else in the Maine Democratic primary.
Regardless of what happens in Maine, Democrats need to take back the Senate and I'll keep working hard to make it happen.

@JoePostingg analogous to the loss of regional accents; everyone is just speaking the same language now because they're all consuming the same media.

@MattZeitlin @daveweigel We need to increase the amount and frequency of canonical events in American culture. More, smaller concert venues, sports teams, theme parks, museums, etc etc. Requires active policy though

This is why “experiences” will get essentially infinitely expensive, they’re not making more Knicks and the number of guys with the means to do this far far far outstrips supply

@bungarsargon Dangerous and anti-semitic to equate criticism of Israel with all antisemitism. Not true and makes the world more dangerous for ALL Jewish people.

For 100 years, Jews were a cherished part of the Left. They built the Labor Movement, wrote the New Deal, marched with Dr. King. Yet today, the Left has turned on the Jews. Why did Jews become Democrats? And why did the Left turn on them? My new book answers those questions:

I’m not into black listing anyone from future work in their area of expertise but I do think it’s fair to want a whole new crop of foreign policy staffers in the next democratic administration. It’s not like the same 120 people are the only people who know anything.

The first lolcow gubernatorial campaign taken seriously by media?

I met her last week, got engaged on Wednesday, completed all of Catholic marriage prep on Thursday, found a venue Friday, and got married yesterday. Now hire me as Governor so I can deliver this level of speed and efficiency for Florida.

@nikitabier @MarioNawfal Yay! This is definitely a company that should be IPOing at two TRILLION dollars.

I was in the middle of taping on my iPhone for a social video from the White House North Lawn when we heard the shots. It sounded like dozens of gunshots. We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now.
English
🚨 BREAKING:
🇺🇸 Footage from ABC News has captured the moment shots were fired outside the White House.
Key details:

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING Secret Service sniper teams are now reportedly visible on the White House roof. That is a standard protective response after a security incident, with teams deploying to elevated positions to secure the grounds. It fits the active posture following the earlier reports of gunfire and the press being moved inside. Source: @Spectator_MENA

@unusual_whales How did they reach that specific number? It's a fun mystery. They don't say in their presser. No mention of methodology.

The admin absolutely knows it has to make this deal, but MAGA will not go for it and never will.

Mike Pompeo has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about. He should shut his stupid mouth and leave the real work to the professionals. He’s not read into anything that’s happening, so how would he know.

Heterodoxy will win in 2028
We need a pragmatic populist who moderates on immigration and culture, is radically anti-establishment and for good governance, runs against corruption, and pushes the party toward a new mix-and-match consensus on health care and taxing the rich
The Bulwark@BulwarkOnline
"A little from column A and a little from column B." "I’ve stopped using the words moderate and progressive when we talk about which direction the party needs to move—because it’s neither." @SarahLongwell25 and @AJentleson discuss the rise of heterodox voters.

Congratulations on your wedding @DonaldJTrumpJr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.

The Times rises to the occasion in sticking with this important story and actively defending it from a broad campaign to discredit it.

The New York Times rightly stands behind @NickKristof 's careful and accurate account of Israel's systematic sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners. trib.al/QDq4Fon

@Superninfreak @BlackMajikMan90 Star Wars needs to not be made with its schizophrenic fanbase in mind. Case in point: Andor.
English
@BlackMajikMan90 The fanbase is so divided that it’s very hard to figure out what to do that would please everyone and not just piss off at least half of the fanbase.
There’s a huge lack of consensus about which movies/projects after the original trilogy were good and which ones were garbage.

Star Wars and Lucasfilm need a top to bottom overhaul.
Dave Filoni isn’t the answer and Disney has to look themselves in the mirror and make the hard but necessary decisions for the future of this franchise.

THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU underperformed at the European box office yesterday. It’s now tracking to have the worst global opening weekend ever for a STAR WARS film. It might not even hit $150M by Sunday.

Psychologist Erich Fromm who defined the term malignant narcissist called people like Andreessen necrophiles—not as a sexual fetish but the obsessive desire to turn the world into a lifeless machine that’s easier for them to understand.

This person appears to want federal law enforcement resources taken off far-left terrorists so his ideological allies can more easily maim, shoot and kill people.
He’s been targeting me again, this time for highlighting that one the radical victims of the mosque shooting expressed pro-Hitler sentiments, just like the boys who killed him.
Jared Holt@jaredlholt
The Trump Admin has deprioritized tracking these kinds of threats in favor of searching out "antifa" boogeymen and surveilling non-white immigrants. This is clearly still an insanely present threat to public safety, even if the admin would like the public's focus elsewhere.

@cd_hooks It winds up that taking the approach of "Yes, and" to just basic queries about the truth of the world is NOT optimal for society.
