Some personal news: after six and a half years as an opinion columnist at the Boston Globe I am leaving the paper ... and launching a subscription Substack newsletter, Truth and Consequences (https://t.co/7regdSTrWQ)

Hey maybe NVIDIA's PR person was telling the truth when he said that Jensen's relationship with Alice Huang was neither unusual or unexpected

This ad hits a bit harder today ...

[Scott Colom @scott_colom]

Medgar Evers was killed in his driveway because he refused to accept a Mississippi where some were denied the right to vote.

He stood with thousands who marched, organized and sacrificed so future generations could have a voice. We owe it to them not to take that right for granted. On Tuesday, honor their legacy. Vote.

[Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER) @speechboy71]

First Democrat to win a Senate seat in Mississippi in 44 years ... and only the 6th Black man to win a popularly elected Senate election. Quite an achievement.

[VoteHub @VoteHub]

VoteHub projects Scott Colom to win the Mississippi U.S. Senate election.

ICYMI: Check out the latest episode of That '70s Movie Podcast as @MidCenturyCinem and I do a 360 for the horror classic, "The Exorcist"

[Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER) @speechboy71]

This week on "That '70s Movie Podcast," Michael and @MidCenturyCinem do a cranial 360 for the 1973 horror film "The Exorcist."

We discussed the crisis of faith that defines the movie (well, aside from the 12-year-old possessed by a demon) and asked: Is this film pro- or anti-religious, and is it truly a '70s film?

So grab your Ouija board, tie yourself to the bed, and curl up with a nice bowl of pea soup for this week's episode.

Agreed. Ad Astra is excellent!

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Ad Astra is great. If anything, it's underrated.

Obviously the people who tweet this stuff are Jew hating lunatics … but it’s worth remembering that someone broke into Shapiro’s home last year and tried to kill him because he’s Jewish

[megan | מיה 🌈 @kehillahjewess]

Josh Shapiro is really governor of the poorest big city in the US and could just be doing anything, but he chooses to be a mouthpiece for Israel instead

[Danny Gold @DGisSERIOUS]

48 hours in Tel Aviv for the first time since Oct 2022 and it’s enough to make you laugh out loud when you see stuff like this on here.

[Nadav Pollak @NadavPollak]

So we have to have "This discussion" because young people are being brainwashed by social media and prominent online figures that are telling lies about the war in Gaza?
What about speaking truth to power to young people and educate them about what really happened in this war (not a genocide) and giving them actual examples from recent history that in comparison don't make the war in Gaza such a historical outlier.

[NickFrank40 @NickyFrank30]

This whole controversy is dumb as fuck.
The impeachment resolution was never going to pass, and Republicans were playing games with the vote in order to embarrass Democrats, which they've done multiple times in history (and Dems have done to them when in the majority)
This is all just fodder for all those people who make a shit ton of money online, driving wedges in the Democratic coalition because they are incapable of holding real jobs.

[Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER) @speechboy71]

It's over. Just a question of when, not if, Colom is declared the winner

[VoteHub @VoteHub]

Updated Mississippi U.S. Senate toplines:

🔵 Colom: 470,651 (+384), 49.1%
🔴 Hyde-Smith: 467,305 (+205), 48.8%

Colom leads by 3,346 votes (0.35 points), a net gain of 179 votes across the two vote drops.

This is who incoming DSA/Democratic Rep. Darializa Chevalier is.

[Mike Schlossberg @MikeSchlossberg]

There's so much to this. The unmitigated joy of celebrating something that must have seemed so far away. The family and friends and staff screaming. And the dignity and grace in which the winner and defeated handled this. It's so nice to see.

[Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER) @speechboy71]

What about every progressive who treated Graham Platner’s candidacy as if it was the second coming?

The same people crapping on Jeffries and Schumer were the ones waving away Platner’s glaring vulnerabilities and abundant narcissism.

[Bill Scher @billscher]

Lots of folks want to punish Schumer for favoring Haley Stevens who then turned heel.

Does this same logic apply to every progressive who backed John Fetterman in the 2022 primary? Or Jared Golden in the 2018 primary?

[Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER) @speechboy71]

Gadi Eisenkot cupboard of f***s to give is completely empty

[Eli Kowaz - איליי קואז @elikowaz]

Gadi Eisenkot sent Netanyahu a letter today. He calls him the outgoing prime minister of a transitional government with only 46 MKs behind him, and warns that deploying security forces without a direct, immediate threat that can't wait could seriously damage Israeli democracy and public trust in state institutions.

He also asks Netanyahu not to put the security chiefs in a difficult constitutional conflict. The letter names no specific operation, but it puts on record, before anything happens, that the generals and military chiefs shouldn't be placed in that position.

[NickFrank40 @NickyFrank30]

Young people gaslit themselves into thinking the progress that was made by previous generations is moot because Trump won.
What's interesting is that I don't think my generation really did that. Even if we thought change was needed, no one really looked at people like Jimmy Carter, Jesse Jackson, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore, or Bill Clinton and thought, "You failed, go away." It was really more of a "thank you for your service."
We more or less understood that one of the pitfalls of progress is backlash. Young people don't get that, because they really haven't experienced it yet.
I blame most of this on Bernie, and it's why I've developed such an aversion to him. He really has the attitude of "everyone else is a failure and is corrupt except me," which you did not see from 2000s-era progressive leaders.

[Stewart Robson @srob_]

I’m still in awe of this.

The Democratic Party won the popular vote for both the Senate and the House. The last time we won the Class II popular vote was in 1984, and the last time we won the South-wide House vote was in 1992.

[EJ Dionne @EJDionne]

The GOP’s Red Wall in the South is crumbling. This would fundamentally change American politics — for the better for all of us, not just for Democrats.

The left’s push to jettison Jeffries and Schumer might have a bit more oomph if the left had … you know … won a few more elections this year.

Instead they’re just another faction in the confessional Democratic caucus … and a rather weak one.
