Another of Merrick Garland's failings

Larry Brooks was one of the last remaining Old School sportswriters. He knew teams and players in a way nobody today is even allowed to, and wasn't afraid to tear into anyone who deserved it. Also an important part of Devils history, working for the team during Yellow Sunday.

chuck schumer has been barred from formally observing this year's lexus december to remember sales event. they can't stop him from standing outside, but he will not be allowed into the showroom and he cannot directly behold the obelisk or participate in the thousand screams

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

They lionize Woodward who had Trump in a knowing lie about COVID in February 2020 and saved it for 2021 for his book. That's their -hero-

Worse idea: James Bond is being made by people who are really, really weird about trying to make The Zelda Timeline work

Every Toy Story they make after 3 is a match a "retired" wrestler works because he has alimony to pay

"Scared of Charlotte" is a whole new level of "scared of cities" that I'd never even considered possible

"We’re done waiting for Dems to find their spine. We can’t afford a weak & cowardly Democratic Party while the authoritarians invade our cities, terrorize our communities, & threaten our democracy. We get the party we demand, & we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.” — @indivisible.org

AUTHORS!! Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON? Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen. More here:

For the past year or so, I've been thinking about how the Taliban celebrated taking over Afghanistan, only to fall into the same trouble of boring office work and mornings that everyone faces and being completely demoralized by the effort it takes to run things

Can anyone on legal bluesky help me access a brief for a case currently filed in California Appeals Court? Thanks in advance!

writing it "f*ck" sickens me. a coward's curse. say fuck or find a different word. get that nasty starfish asshole out of my sight

Sherrill the living proof that the actual schism in the party right now is Fighters vs Folders not Left vs Center.

Chuck Schumer is like if Neville Chamberlain tried appeasement *after* learning about what the Nazis were really doing and not before

I have plenty of issues with Hakeem Jeffries but 1. He keeps his caucus in order for votes 2. He clearly hates the Senate

I finally saw the full length Das Boot in theaters and I was so blown away. It does one of the hardest things you can possibly do in any storytelling medium: makes boredom riveting. And when said boot was in combat, nobody in the theater could breath. It's 3.5 hours and every second is used

oh no i thought of something and i had to make it 🤼

bluesky branding refresh unveiled

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Nobody who spouts this position on European politics has had a single solitary conversation with a center left European about immigration.

Long Hill Township, NJ, is a nowhere of a place. It has trouble keeping grocery stores and has no impact on its region or residents. Except for the fact that it's the burial site of Leo, the lion that roars in the MGM logo, on an abandoned farm on some random road

SOCRATES: No god is a philosopher or seeker after wisdom, for he is wise already; nor does any man who is wise seek after wisdom. PLATO: Neither do the ignorant seek after wisdom. DARRYL, SOCRATES AND PLATO’S FRIEND: well well well if it isn’t the blowjob brothers

You would think this WH would choose from "artists" that support them like Tom McDonald or Forgiato Blow but even deep down they know that their music sucks dog shit

look man one very consistent feature of concierge access to politicians is that you have to be current on your subscription, and rather than renewing you mailed in what appeared to be a bag of dog shit you had already (?) lit on fire

It bums me out that Kaleb Horton didn't live to see Election Day 2025. I know that NYC was famously not his beat but I wish he could have seen Zohran win

The Rizzler implies the existence of the Gizzler if we're going by Wu-Tang logic

the New Jersey Legislature is actually just an extended and unfocused bit about white ethnics

I've been to baptisms, confirmations, church services, said grace over dinner, and been to more ecumenical services of more varieties than I can count, but got forbid these weak ass bitches go to dinner

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

Will never not love that Jokic is one of the most transcendentally talented athletes alive despite not caring at all about his sport and clocking out at the end of the day

Lindsey’s tenacious bravery in speaking out against Cuomo’s treatment of women was the first domino that helped bring us to last night’s victory. I’m proud to call her a friend and a fellow Democratic Socialist.

your daily reminder of the 100% true fact that Idi Amin is indirectly responsible for the entire political careers of both Mamdani and Netanyahu

TRANSITION CO-CHAIR LINA KHAN!?!?!??!

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Tariq Bokhari takes a job with the Trump administration, gives up his city council seat, leaves the admin a few months later, tries to get his wife elected on the city council, she talks about inviting the National Guard to our fair city, loses. Great story.

It's under the radar but a ton of credit to Wesley Harris for leading the Meck Dems away from cowardice and collaborationists to actual meaningful victories that the GOP in Raleigh can't ignore

reminder to all my trans friends that a man who campaigned with this much support and love for us just destroyed the most machine politician to ever exist in spite of all odds. turns out vocally caring about us is a winning strategy!!

Dick Cheney dying on the day Bill Kristol finds himself rooting for a socialist to be elected to run America's largest city is something alright

I am hearing that on his deathbed Andrew Cuomo received the light of democratic socialism and unhesitatingly sang the Internationale. Even now he looks down on Bushwick from the gardens of Astoria. Truly there is no god but DSA, and Zohran is his prophet!

Extremely funny that Mikie Sherrill absolutely sleepwalked her way through what should have been a bruising primary and then sleepwalked her way to the governorship, an office that she does not want. Better than Jack any day of the week, though

live view from cuomo hq

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

the first muslim woman being elected to statewide office (in any state!) the day dick cheney died is beautiful
