"Finding ways to do politics with the other side is not the same as creating fiction of the other side. There is acknowledging political realities and adapting to a new situation – and then there is denying reality so you can continue to do “normal politics." democracyamericana.com/posts/c5d024...

They won’t be complaining when the invasion happens

First segment is great as both a conversation about a conversation and a critique of Klein's entire reason for being.

"How do you respond to this thing that is admittedly not true?," he asked earnestly.

Journalism, the job where when someone powerful lies you describe it as "not strictly true" because describing facts would be bias bsky.app/profile/atru...

Yankees fans all pissed they missed “Gutfeld!” tonight

This really is THE issue - you've got a situation where Dems can sweat and bleed to get their stuff in a bipartisan bill, and Rs can nix it with 51 votes (or just impoundment). That's new, and it removes the incentive to deal.

this has to be one of the stupidest headlines i’ve ever seen

My understanding is that pitchers aren’t supposed to throw the ball at batters

Kiefer Sutherland has five middle names

Man, “English Teacher” is so, so good

Do you remember that time when the B1G commissioner was threatening to drop its sports down to D-III?

Preach

Kinda bummed that the ex-con Cliff knew won’t be back on “Task” - he was a jokester

“One Battle After Another” - Hard to categorize, but it’s brilliant. Probably Leo’s best performance. Great year for movies in general. A.

Arkansas giving Robert Petrino his old job back is so consistent with the times

Todd Grantham getting fired for the first time for a defense that wasn’t his fault

My general belief is that Dems need to spend more time thinking about what they believe and less about what they think some imaginary swing voters want them to believe. Political strategy will stem from an authentic set of beliefs.

Correct

I think if you suggested to Ezra Klein toapply a venture-capital model to Charlie Kirk’s project, he might understand it better

This is good if you look at it as two people who fundamentally disagree about what the subject of their conversation actually is bsky.app/profile/perr...

This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

Did no one tell those Oregon fans about the whiteout?

Bama just made the worst attempt at a field goal in recorded history

This is excellent - Ben Recht on statistical sophistry in football vis a vis going for 2 down 8 www.argmin.net/p/changing-t...

I was thinking he’d be perfect for building New College of Florida’s program from the ground up.

Hillsdale College head football coach Mike Gundy

Oh no, that’s much worse

Fortunately for Mike Gundy, it’s not a far walk from Tulsa to Stillwater

“Him” - “Any Given Sunday” + Willy Wonka + the “Purge” movies. D+.

I guess it wasn’t free speech when every late-night monologue for years was about Clinton and Lewinsky?

This makes a lot of sense

In the interest of saving everyone time: Yes, whatever you are pointing out is hypocritical. No, they do not care.

So Tegna and Nexstar presumably strong-armed ABC over Kimmel to keep their merger on track and their shareholders happy. Is that the theory of the case?

“Warfare” - Felt like a microcosm of how cavalier and reckless U.S. foreign policy is (although I don’t think that was necessarily the point). B.

We’re so upset about our friend being assassinated that we’re going to set up easy grounds to acquit his murderer
