underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

Absolutely shameful kissing of Putin’s boot.
Witkoff: "President Putin, thank you so much for having us. We were sitting outside just now, me, Jared, Kirill, Yuri, and we were talking about, when we retire, we'll have all these incredible stories and memories, and yours will be right at the top of it all."

Because I’m a fan, I’m rooting for the Orioles to make the playoffs this season. But I recognize that, if they do, there’s something deeply wrong with the playoff system.

When they nuke Iran and Jesus don't come back
And your son's still gay and there's no cheap gas
When the vengeance of nations finally comes to port
Will you be bitchin' 'bout men playin' women's sports
I get weary I get nervous
They hired a clown we got the whole damn circus
And your son's still gay and there's no cheap gas
When the vengeance of nations finally comes to port
Will you be bitchin' 'bout men playin' women's sports
I get weary I get nervous

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black.
Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks.
Many are without safe water.
Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.
