Aaaaaand it begins.
🚨 EL-SAYED REFUSES TO BACK SCHUMER FOR SENATE MAJORITY LEADER
Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed declined to endorse Chuck Schumer for Democratic Senate leader, despite Schumer’s support for his campaign.
“I do believe we need new leadership and I think people are hungry for it,” El-Sayed declared.
The outspoken Israel critic signals growing divisions within the Democratic Party over its leadership and direction.

Pope Leo and Bob Dylan look like they're starring in an early '90s CBS drama in which two priests - one by the book and one who does things his own way - try to solve mysteries in their seemingly sleepy Midwestern town that hides a seedy underbelly.

Trump asked the people to vote as if he were on the ballot. THEY DID. Thank you Americans from coast to coast.

Lessons Dems need to act on immediately after these elections:
- Shut down the Iran war and prosecute the war criminals. End aid to Israel
- Trials for every corrupt admin official
- Halt data center expansion
- Abolish ICE
- Tax the rich
- Medicare for All

BEWARE THE RED MIRAGE IN MICHIGAN!!!! It will LOOK like republicans are doing great and winning the state, and then as more votes come in the democrats will surge. We know this will happen because of the order of the vote counting. Trump will try to use this to claim fraud, but save this tweet. We know in advance this will happen and it's completely normal based on the order of the vote counting

C.S. Lewis basically predicted (and warned against) short-form global media
ALT It is one of the evils of rapid diffusion of news that the sorrows of all the world come to us every morning. I think each village was meant to feel pity for it’s own sick and poor whom it can help and I doubt if it is the duty of any private person to fix his mind on ills which he cannot help. (This may even become an escape from the works of charity we really can do to those we know). A great many people do now seem think that the mere state of being worried is in itself meritorious. I don’t think it is. We must, if it so happens, give our lives for others: but even while we’re doing it, I think we’re meant to enjoy Our Lord and, in Him, our friends, our food, our sleep, your jokes, and the birds song and the frosty sunrise.

Tom Cruise’s DIGGER is tracking to increase 95% this weekend, the biggest third-weekend increase in the history of cinema for a movie released in over 3K locations.
It’ll play in every theater across the globe, having gained an insane 2,758 theaters from last week.

Ben Affleck calls out fans for hating on Tom Cruise's 'Digger' movie
"Everyone wants to celebrate this bomb like its the most exciting thing to happen. It's a pretty ambitious, interesting movie made by interesting people who have talent...
If you punish movies that take risks, you're gonna get a bunch of homogenized movies"

once again thinking about Bob Dylan rhyming “sons of bitches” with “orphanages” on this beautiful fall day

Even in 2026 you can see a new photo of young John & Paul in Liverpool and it blows yer mind. They were just kids, did they know they were gonna change the world?

C. S. Lewis on why you NEED to read old books. This has never been more vital than it is today

The corporate world sees football players, fraternity brothers and sorority sisters as prime recruits. Students are conditioned to join the team, to surrender moral autonomy, to accept and carry out acts of personal humiliation, to treat with contempt those who oppose them or who are different, to define their life by an infantile narcissism centered on greed and self-promotion and to remain silent about crimes they witness or take part in.
It is the very ethic of corporations.
The ruling elite sees in Greek organizations and college sports programs the training ground for an amoral class of speculators, bankers and corporatists who pillage the country. The goal is to train people to subsume themselves into the herd, to unquestioningly use technical and vocational skills to serve the system.
These forces of conformity are hostile to the humanities, where students are taught to question assumptions and structures. The humanities prod students to seek a life of meaning and an ethical code that challenges the blind, utilitarian obedience to power and profit that corporations and the military instill.

imagine if someone in 2016 told me that in 10 years I’d have more respect for Macklemore than Radiohead. the kind of prediction that medieval kings used to kill their seers for making.

Abdul El-Sayed: “I’m not a socialist, I’m a scientist, I’m a doctor. If I had one political philosophy it’s that I want us to build what we would build if we took seriously the idea that all of our kids were all of our kids. If we started with that idea that every child is our child, we would build incredible public schools, we would guarantee everybody healthcare, we would guarantee childcare, we would stop putting money in bombs and tanks that kill kids and we would start investing in infrastructure and opportunity for kids”
