Lucas Shaw @Lucas_Shaw The Odyssey will open to $258M worldwide, according to the latest projections. The third biggest opening of the year and the biggest opening ever for Christopher Nolan.
Stephen Miller: "When you look at these violent ANTIFA demonstrations, you see any photograph of those who are assembled. Not one of the people looks like a normal person, they're all deformed in some way, in their appearance, dress, mannerism."

Anne Norton @annenortonnow Why I so dislike liberals: rule bound, censorious, gleefully repressive, unforgiving, elitist, Puritans. I'd vote for Platner before I'd align myself with that. QTing post: Liberal Currents "They want desperately to believe that the burly white man cosplaying as a working class Ron Swanson, a bit rude, crude, and something of a bad boy, is the formula for winning back America, because it validates everything they prefer to be true" Graham Platner Must Go Democrats made the Devil's bargain with Graham Platner.

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro The Jewish people has always been plagued by Bad Jews, who undermine it from within. In America, those Bad Jews largely vote Democrat. 2:48 PM · Nov 8, 2011
When the Losers get lost in the sewer after fighting the child-eating clown, Beverly, the only girl in the group, decides that they must be united if they hope to find the exit. She comes up with the idea that they should all have sex with her (again, yes, really) in order to connect. The sex is consensual, but it's incredibly shocking nonetheless.
The Donald Trump quote "I just want to find 11,780 votes" changed to "I just want to find 4 goals."
Stephen King @StephenKing Graham Platner may drop out. (I hope he doesn't, but.) Meanwhile, the Abuser in Chief just keeps on keepin' on.

And for the liberals who naively believe in America’s innate goodness, American culture doesn’t respect human dignity instinctively; it respects and follows power. At 250 years old, America still needs written legislation, amendments, backed with the force of the state— to tell people to not commit hate crimes and that people with different skin and hair shouldn’t be treated badly. Moreover, the same people throwing the White Nationalist tantrums are being coddled by privileged centrists/moderates who think we just need to understand them and let them scream and cry it out. And for how long? Another 50 years? 100? 200? As James Baldwin once said, how long am I to wait for your progress?
Kylie Jane Kremer @KylieJaneKremer I'm telling y'all that someone with an extreme case of TDS geoengineered this weather in DC. Same way they geoengineered Trump's inauguration to be one of the coldest in U.S. history. People with TDS hate Trump more than they love America.
Trump’s promises are the needle in America’s collective vein.
I’m not sure when or how that realization arrives: maybe in a few months, when Trump loses the election; maybe in a few years, when his supporters realize that even with a President Trump, their homes and families are still domestic war zones, their newspapers’ obituaries continue to fill with the names of people who died too soon, and their faith in the American Dream continues to falter. But it will come, and when it does, I hope Americans cast their gaze to those with the most power to address so many of these problems: each other. And then, perhaps the nation will trade the quick high of “Make America Great Again” for real medicine.
Billionaire Taylor Swift donates MILLIONS to charities before her wedding. Trillionaire Elon Must *takes* millions away for starving children in Africa and otherwise does *nothing* to help anyone but himself. And I see people on here accusing *her* of being "self-indulgent." Excuse me?
Famous fascism enabler and Donald Trump apologist Glenn Greenwald on Twitter: The magnitude of Trump's personal corruption and the monetizing of the presidency by him and his family have no precedent in US history. It takes a total peasant mentality, or some weird cultish devotion, to defend or excuse this, especially if you objected to corrupt Biden transactions (as I did). It's on a completely different scale.

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social Are we ready to talk about how gentrification is mostly good Quoted Post: jcar8mm.bsky.social Yeah, I’ve never understood the idea that assimilation or gentrification is some awful thing. Most of the residents love it; to wit, the Harlem Trader Joe’s is packed. That must really piss off these isolationists. I also wonder what their plan is. Everyone on some separate cultural reservation?
Richard Hanania @RichardHanania When I was hanging out on white nationalist blogs circa 2010, there was a taboo on being this explicitly racist. (Tweet being QTed): The Megyn Kelly Show @MegynKellyShow Megyn sends a message to the Haitians who lost their TPS today: "Go home! Get out! We know our country is better than yours. That's because we filled it with our work ethic, culture, and values. You being here only dilutes it for us... GO BACK TO FUCKING HAITI!"

“We need to focus on what our nation was founded on and not apologize for that,” Susan Perez, founder of Citizens for Education Reform, a right-wing organization that pushes for Christianity in public schools, said at the meeting. “It is the truth, and we should not be afraid.”
The arch that welcomes people to the great country fair or whatever it's called. Probably made of plywood or something but appear to be made from cardboard. Maybe 30 feet tall. Zero ornamentation. Happily, it does appear to be providing one fair-goer with some temporary shade.
Joe Walsh on Bluesky: The political establishment sucks, but the vast majority of Americans aren’t MAGA or Democratic Socialists. The GOP is now full-on MAGA, and if Democrats keep moving to full-on Democratic Socialists, then it’s time for a new political party. In the radical, anti-establishment center. It’s past time.
Main Post: Holy fucking shit. This post got me a visit from the FBI today. More details soon. Quoted Post: I am the leftist who put algae in the Lincoln memorial reflecting pool. This plan was months in the making. I introduced spores into the paint used by the contractors who repainted the pool. It was me the whole time.
David Frum on Twitter: People sometimes compare Mamdani to Karl Lueger, the activist antisemitic mayor of Vienna in the early 1900s. But Lueger electrified trams, built a gasworks etc., while also inveighing against Jews. The Mamdani formula seems to be "all inveighing; no trams."
Partey was allowed to enter the U.S. under the simple principle of any individual remaining innocent until being proven guilty. The White House World Cup task force Andrew Giuliani explained as much to The Athletic: “When you see something like this—again, these charges are heinous, right? But it’s important to let the legal process play out. “It’s fascinating we’re having that conversation as we’re talking about our 250th birthday, because the incredible foresight that our founding fathers had, certainly in our due process rights, I think is highlighted.”
Elon Musk tweet: We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone (sic) to some great parties. Did that instead.
A post is by a user named Veronica (@vero1986.bsky.social) The text of the post reads: "Hello Louisiana and Mississippi I believe you voted for trump... I hate to be the bearer of bad news but....YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. FEMA was dismantled."
