My reaction to this information

Honored that Blue was featured in the Rocket Bear Project - a creative storytelling project from a former USAID employee who is drawing portraits of pets of people who lost their jobs under this administration, highlighting the work they were doing. www.instagram.com/p/DRAEgOXjfU...

amazing stuff

People may think Boras is slipping, but he's still got the fastball.

“In Texas, CDC funds to stem a measles outbreak weren’t available until after the crisis had subsided and two children had died. A project to protect Alabamans from raw sewage and hookworm was abandoned…Time-dependent surveys on HIV and maternal mortality were halted…”

I know people generally don’t need reminding, but the playbook hasn’t changed one bit.

hello howdy I joined @apodoftheirown.bsky.social to talk about the #WPBL!

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

My keeper is goated.

Insane stuff.

The Trump admin fucking up state administrative capacity to provide SNAP benefits is not just a feature of the shutdown. This is their long-term plan to reduce SNAP. Soon, GOP will start talking block grants due to administrative complexity they created. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-big-be...

Imagine if couples talked about other things the way they do about pregnancy. “We’re on our period right now.”

Scientific breakthroughs are rarely unique; someone else would’ve made them soon enough. But when prominent scientists cause harm, that harm isn’t inevitable; the world might simply have been better had the harm not been inflicted. liorpachter.wordpress.com/2018/05/18/j...

I am obsessed with the ref cam it’s so funny.

Would really prefer the Mets choose to claim players without domestic violence convictions. That would be nice. Doesn’t feel like too much to ask.

YES

look, when you can hire the guy who helped trade for and pay Deshaun Watson, you simply have to do it

No, but seeing Ross Douthat’s face or byline is certainly enough to ruin my day.

the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

🥺my neighbors don’t like me🥺 Yeah maybe it’s because you gleefully cheered on the destruction of their careers and livelihoods. That might be part of it.

bear in mind that Fairfax County Public Schools have always been among the best in the nation. public schools. NoVA right wingers have always loved enjoying the fruits of society, just not contributing to it.

I’m sure people are going to be very normal about this

i wouldn't be a total glenn youngkin hater if i didn't mention that the results tonight mean that his total tenure amounted to presiding over the destruction — at least for the next few years — of the virginia republican party. lmao.

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

Teen Vogue has become a top-tier political journalism authority and doing this the day before election day is just cruel.

Among the things that the shutdown is laying bare is this: so many federal employees live paycheck to paycheck while doing crucial, stressful work. The same may be said, of course, of so many other working Americans. While our oligarch class rakes in money hand over fist. This is not sustainable.

Normal people engaging in retail therapy: I finally splurged on that purse. Me engaging in retail therapy:

My congratulations to all Baseball Perverts. It was their "super bowl" last night and it seems they all had a very bad time (in their culture that's how you have a good time)

What a postseason that was.

As a Mets fan I didn't think I'd find myself saying this, but shut the fuck up David Wright

Terminal car brain

Nasty AND desperate

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

We recorded a whole episode of the podcast right when the World Series game was starting last night and after we were done I still got to watch more than a whole baseball game's worth of baseball.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

Maybe it's the lack of sleep because I watched every inning of last night's/this morning's game, but I read this article and looked at the drawings and wept. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

A woman from the FDA’s Center for Devices & Radiological Health explains how her entire department was gutted That means there’s no staff to alert you if your pacemaker is recalled If an implantable device in your body is toxic or broken This could have catastrophic health impacts & cost lives
