The Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine could be charming, women said in interviews, but some found his actions intimidating and disturbing.

@brownsugar7878 @J_fassler He sounds unhinged to me.

@J_fassler So predictable.

To think, some of the wealthiest, safest intellectuals, plus the loudest self-proclaimed progressives pushed out the last guy and snubbed the incumbent VP... for this.

Trump appears to be completely passed out asleep during his 3pm Oval Office announcement

Kudos to Karen Bass and Xavier Becerra.

An absurd amount of money was spent very specifically against these two candidates, all under the guise of progressivism.

Here's hoping everyone gets their act together for November.

we should go back to romanticizing printing photos and writing something that happened that day on the back in cursive.

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

@MissesDread I will be playing it on repeat. 🥲

Microsoft pulled the plug on Claude for its internal team. Starbucks’ AI can’t count cups correctly. Uber burned 3.4 billion dollars on AI in just 4 months and saw zero return. Amazon axed its AI leaderboard as costs soared with no clear payoff. AI is the future, allegedly.

We need to talk about how Legend's superpower is basically charming and disarming anyone in his presence.

Genuinely one of the best moments in the series

@JupiterKunt @davidslosttt She dropped out before primaries began, in part because she didn't want to waste any more money.

Instead of staying in the race and fundraising in vain, she paid her staff, and focused on the Senate. (Then COVID hit.)

There's a lot of misinfo out there.

Every political autobiography from the last two years has been a bit of a flop.

Well, every political autobiography, except one. 🤷🏾‍♀️

And I don't think those stats are gonna change anytime soon.

Boots Riley explains the practical effect behind LaKeith Stanfield’s gaze in ‘I LOVE BOOSTERS’.

“Panavision had this special lens made [for us]. The way you could describe it is it acts like an accordion squeezing in and out of focus... it’s all practical in-camera.”
