Communion

People saying "KFC" like as though the ad isn't BURGER KING. Don't erase the ancient texts.

If a university has to certify it is not boycotting Israel, how is this shown outside of the inherent pressure for universities to maximize investments in Israel?

Something about the melody and production on the chorus ("the kids don't wanna dance") reminds me of this:

Why is someone shouting over Lost Yo Mind? (20 years and still no real explicit version...)

Me rewriting it 10 times to stay under the character limit

Okay I did giggle:

Ehhh the senate is built to be a conservative institution but the movement is best measured on who replaces who. Gary Peters votes only for progressive policies 33% of the time Abdul would likely vote 85-95% of the time for progressive policies. You can't judge people by race obviously ddd but black women due tend to vote more progressively (see: Blunt-Rochester voting so far this cycle for progressive policies 75% of the time vs how she replaced an old white man who had like a 20% score). So Dick Durbin votes progressively about 50% of the time, but Julia Stratton could at least be a reliable 75%. Tina Smith is usually a reliable vote about half the time, but Peggy Flanagan would likely be also measurably more progressive. When it comes to El-Sayed, Stratton, and Flanagan, all three would be moving leftward in voting record vs who they replaced.

Angela receives LA DSA's endorsement.

Heath running in NH-01 is suspending his campaign and endorsing someone else to try and stop Shaheen's daughter:

She announced it because she was bullied out of the public eye. It's odd that people took her speech from the concert as diffusing the resentful tone of her PR team's statement instead of the reality that it was reiterating that she blames the media and public for ruining things for her and her fans. People convinced themselves that somehow their toxic behavior was vindicated by the statement yet are going to reach a new level of insane when she doesn't actually remove herself from the spotlight much and continues posting on social media. People - for some reason - convinced themselves she'd be doing something like going to a medical facility and are going to go back to harassing her if she doesn't do exactly as they want.

Computer, zoom in! "Why do you care so much whose dick I ride, why?" indeed it seems. Ariana, the prophetess you are.

I do kinda hate that she's an inverse Kamala in that people genuinely read black women to be more progressive than they are (ie: people assuming Kamala Harris was extremely liberal in 2024 despite her platform not being so) to where people assume Candace is like some regular moderate and not someone with insane, far-right views.

It was a cash grab and the theatre for months delayed ticket sales because they had no way to stop them from being grabbed by scalpers to where they were in the middle of trying to develop their own ticket-purchasing site when Ariana decided to pull out. This was never going to work without her.
