Miss Ray Knight on the Nats postgame show lol

Opening a consultancy and getting rich just by explaining to politicians that the single phoniest and most repellant thihg you can do is claim to love both teams while everyone will respect it if you accurately say you were raised to believe their team is an instrument of Satan.

This is correct--but also maybe a good time to ask ourselves whether it may have been a mistake to raise the cap on the number of transmitters any one entity could control. That part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 may have been a mistake

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

Wait what

As the descendant of a Katipunero, I gotta say I am still mad about how the Magdiwang seized the Philippine Revolution away from the Magdalo

Nobody on here is talking about the Carolingian Civil War, nor that pitted brothers against brothers, unraveled the biggest empire since Rome, saw women killed for sex witchcraft, and reshaped Europe for centuries

Bruh some nights I double bag the shin ramyun

had the urge to do this since the moment i saw this post! #pixelart

I actually think it's off base for the descriptor of these angry young white men who think violence is cool and/or funny to be "non-political." They are making rape jokes and saying racist things and wanting to sow chaos. That's literally the Alex Jones, Steve Bannon playbook.

Accidental Nietzche

These are the facts of American history. They are not distortions, nor is displaying this information at national parks ideologically motivated. slate.trib.al/UUnERnt

Currently obsessed with the demo version of REM’s “Texarkana.” Just a totally different song but such a mood for me right now. youtu.be/6UhXxJfHMpg?...

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

Butlerian Jihad now

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Brendan Carr did not “make a joke on social media,” he went on a podcast and said ABC had to take action against Kimmel or the FCC would revoke licenses! We all saw it! Ted Cruz quoted it on HIS podcast in a silly mafia accent!

People use fascism loosely to speak of that which they dislike, but the term has a meaning. Most reductively: cult of personality; nationalism; eroticized violence, internal enemies, purity myths, politicized gender.

So my health policy (and probably tax, because it's always tax somehow) friends: why does such a thing as "open enrollment" exist? If I know what options I want to select for my employer-provided insurance for plan year 2026, why can I only tell my employer that in a two week period in November??

walking exactly one mile is the best possible thing you could do at any point in any day, which is why it's discouraged by authorities and the architecture of almost all residential areas in America

Humility is being the answer to a jeopardy question —for a second time—and none of the contestants knowing who you are youtube.com/watch?v=AMeN... @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social

Maybe I should quit lawyering and become a bagoong smuggler

Only the Supreme Court could have a hard time answering questions like "Is it illegal to take $50,000 bribes stuffed in a luch bag?"

Peter Thiel giving lectures about the antichrist is just another illustration of the fact that the most dangerous thing about billionaires is that they exist in a world where nobody tells them their stupid ideas are stupid and are therefore prone to inflict their stupid ideas on all of us.

sometimes, I see echoes of the life I didn't lead and it hurts. What if I didn't have a crippling crisis of confidence as a graduate student? Would I be in the running for something like this today?

to me, the “column” is less a form than an opportunity (and a challenge). you’re telling me i have as much space as i’d like to make an argument about anything i’d like to an audience inclined to pay close attention? well let’s see if they’ll read 2000 words on democratic legitimacy. (gift link)

Psyching myself up for a new day youtu.be/KF32DRg9opA?...

Gary Cohen wasn't sold on how the Cubs and Matt Shaw handled his absence to attend Charlie Kirk's memorial. "I don't want to talk about any of the politics of it, but the thought of leaving your team in the middle of a race for any reason other than a family emergency, really strikes me as weird."

The Gadsden flag has been a signifier of “shock and y’all” reactionary authoritarianism since the War on Terror. At a certain point the “traditional” meaning is kind of irrelevant because of the people who rally under it now have changed it

Was there a specific time for the rapture? I haven't been paying close attention.

Average teacher salary in the state of West Virginia is between $42,708 to $55,516, per NEA figures. When politicians tell you they can’t afford better teachers and schools, remind them that the football coach at the state university is also a state employee and nobody questions his enormous pay

LOL

My mom calls Ha-Seong Kim “Asyong Aksayá” @jenramose.online

This is so glorious and so beautiful I have tears in my eyes

Jacob Young is making cricket catches out there for the Nats @jomboymedia.bsky.social

He has never once talked baseball with an old timer

Apropos of nothing, I once got to tour inside the vault where the Linnean Society keeps its namesake's papers. The photo below is a copy of one of the editions of his work, which he had specially bound with blank pages on the right so he could take notes for the next edition.

Would be nice if an opposition party said, outright, that their goal was to make your life better by fixing stuff like this. Or actually trying.

Lao on the bump for the Nats don’t tell @dicknixon.bsky.social

The truest thing ever said on this website

McKenzie Gore feels like a combination of Gio Gonzalez & Stephen Strasburg. Incredible stuff, but he seems to get in his own head when things are not going exactly his way.

Jacob Young is this generation’s Roger Bernadina

Ah, I see, shadow docket *plus* rocket docket for whatever Trump needs. Reminder that the emoluments clause case filed by Maryland & DC started June 12, 2017 and then was stalled for so long that SCOTUS dismissed it in January 2021 without a decision because Trump losing made it moot.

"Don’t worry about me: I’ve just been looping Jimmy Carter speeches and majestic whale sounds on my Golden Record while thanking my lucky stars I’m over fifteen billion miles away from you bozos."

People unfamiliar with science will say "well we have one paper not showing a link and another paper showing a link." This is misleading because the papers are NOT created equally. The scientific/methodological rigor of Ahlqvist is much stronger.

Currently, the strongest study we have that examined this is by Ahlqvist et al (2024), a study of 2.5 MILLION children...its a prospectively controlled study and adjusted for confounders (environment, genetic). It showed no association between acetaminophen in pregnancy & autism

hi, medical toxicologist that knows a lot about Tylenol here👋 Claiming that tylenol use in pregnancy causes autism is fearmongering here's what you need to know 🧵

in point of fact, FDR’s open line of communication with black leaders like A. Philip Randolph absolutely strained his relationships with southern lawmakers and he did it anyway under the view that he was president for the whole country
