Paging @edzitron.com

When you are in the caucus room developing your proposals, there has to be a leader who says, "no, we're not going to propose that" because it's so outrageously unreasonable. But, Manfred and Halem aren't those leaders. They are the help. The proposals are being developed by 2nd generation

This is one of the more insane things I have ever seen, and that includes the nonsense coming out of the federal government.

apparently in texas, paxton’s campaign is dunking on talarico by …giving out free tacos with talarico’s name on them, courtesy of “radical texas dot com”? whose idea was this, lol.

Both with and without context, this is Deep.

The Dallas Mavericks were all like "wait you can actually get stuff BACK for your talented players in trades?"

Not really loving the "Every Jewish person is Mossad" thing happening online.

This is, no joke, an amazing idea and one I might steal verbatim for my last will and testament.

Trump: we will rain blows upon you until you eliminate your missile program Iran: you won't T: and your nuclear program I: we'll be keeping that T: fair enough. regime change? I: no T: reopen hormuz? I: *admires fingernails* T: handshake? eye contact? I: *closes door behind them* T: *to camera*

Thanks to the miracle of technology, we’ve removed an enormous source of friction when understanding American history by allowing white people to speak to a black person without ever having to be in the room with one

Generally I’d agree with you, but tailgating is a uniquely fun way to take advantage of that shit infrastructure and we don’t need to slander it

I wish I didn't consistently have my fill of NYC after like 3 days, it seems like an awesome place to live.

Elect a socialist mayor, win an NBA title. It’s as simple as that.

Zohran: "The C.H.U.D.S. are real. Don't tell anyone. Gonna need some cash to handle this." Hochul: "Who you got running this op?" In unison: "SLIWA" Zohran: "I mean, obviously. He asked me if I cared if he kept one of the heads to mount on his wall and I'm like I don't give a fuck, have at it"

The thing about Platner is that I swore we were all passing around some anecdote a little while back about how you can't allow even one nazi, even a well-spoken one with good vibes, into your bar. I have a very clear memory of this. We all agreed with it and found it trenchant and apt.

Tell me you're a white man without telling me you're a white man.😒

These are also the people tho think student loan forgiveness is something we can’t do.

In a random Defector blog about baseball, I started a comment thread that would make @bugsmaytrix.bsky.social proud. Note I am doing this expressly because I like getting "Yeag"s from Bugs. defector.com/mason-miller...
