It's amazing how all these guys look so much older than they are but act so much younger than they are. Face of a weathered geriatric, mind of a dim child.

Always interesting exactly who is called upon to denounce what.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

Catching up to South Africa v Argentina TRC match and how on god’s green earth has Piardi failed to give a yellow to the Pumas for repeated scrum penalties?!

People like teachers and doctors and nurses are expected to de-escalate tense situations every single day without throwing people on the ground.

Every day I log on and just see endless videos of ICE agents breaking state, federal, and international laws.

Arne Slot gets booked a lot. That should probably be talked about more than it is.

Gary Neville on Maresca seeing red for excessive celebrations: “Well worth being sent off for celebrating…” When Arteta does it: “He needs to calm down…”

The champions are a point off top with more than 80% of the season still to go. I'm sure some will try to reframe this as a transition season if they don't improve soon but make no mistake, everyone fairly had them as favourites before a ball was kicked and there is an absurdly long way to go.

too many people care more about their privilege to have whiny little opinions on the internet than they care about major american cities becoming occupied zones stuffed with federal troops

This gives the barest hint of the ridiculous lengths local news went to give recall's absurd criticisms a 24/7 marquee. Misch will die in jail, a new life sentence is the kind of stupid "tough" symbolism that drove ALCO to vote for Price in first place. www.eastbaytimes.com...

Arsenal bought a load of players and that meant they had to win the league. Liverpool bought a load of players and that meant they needed time to bed in.

“Is Bari Weiss considered objective or a journalist? Cronkite and Murrow would absolutely not think she is and would have tossed her out of the newsroom inside an hour.”

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

the usual story. rich guy wants to punish universities for not clamping down on pro-palestinian protests and for doing too much to recruit minorities. at base these guys want the top tier of american universities to become, once more, safe-spaces for their dunderheaded failsons

I’m really rooting for him to succeed, but sometimes it looks like Gyokeres doesn’t understand how his legs work

Someone should write a spy novel about the fact--not even an exaggeration--that all you need to take out key NatSec officials in the US is to bribe one of 3 different rabid Xitter trolls to lie about them on Xitter.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

I rarely dislike people on #gbbo but Jasmine is not for me. She’s technically good but so devoid of any creativity and I get kind of a bad vibe from her.

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

Looks like a fascist lice comb.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.

Again and again we see federal judges standing up for the rule of law, and again and again these positive moments are undermined by the suspicion that SCOTUS will undercut them.

Wanna know whose shutdown this is? Pay attention to who’s enjoying it.

What a dark day for press freedom in the United States

One of the clearest signs that someone is a pseudo-intellectual who sources all their opinions wholesale from social media: they sincerely believe that American women are doing just fine economically but "men are falling behind."

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...

This is fucking UNHINGED. These people are fucking PSYCHOTIC.

A lot of tech bros who were upset about pronouns want to confer them on their computers now that they’re dating

When you recall that political reporters ran interference for Trump over his "opposition" to Project 2025, remember that even AT THAT TIME there was a hidden camera interview with Vought where he said that was bullshit and he didn't mean it. www.mediamatters.org/russ-vought/...

I mean come the hell on… The request for a gift for King Charles came from a State Department liaison who used the email address “giftgirl2025” and initially told the museum that they were looking for “like a sword or something,” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

I'll take "Things wind farms don't do" for 300, Alex.

Telegram is still on the App Store after being linked to multiple mass shootings.

Universities considering capitulating to the Trump “conditions” should use this real world example to understand they will simply be destroying their own institution. bsky.app/profile/nich...

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Maybe Gov. Cox, who mourned his ‘free speech hero’ Charlie Kirk, can do something about

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

"The people in charge of the US military explicitly -- not secretly, *explictly* -- support war crimes & war criminals" is one of those things that's kind of hard to believe even when you write it out and stare at it with that familiar sense of dull ache.

I bet this stuff hits so hard if you're a fucking idiot

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.

I don't think it would be possible to overstate Blake's influence on the DNA revolution in criminal justice and the exonerations that followed. He genuinely changed the world for the better. Rest in peace. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/s...

"God will ask us if we have cultivated and cared for the world that he created for the benefit of all and for future generations, and if we have taken care of our brothers and sisters - what will be our answer, my dear friends?"

With news that Bari Weiss is going to be the new EIC at CBS News, I wanted to reup this piece I wrote 6 years ago about how she and Bret Stephens helped turn NYT into a moral panic factory www.mediamatters.org/new-york-tim...

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

These days I can no longer be shocked; *of course* a flashy provocateur who was never any kind of real journalist to begin with is now entrusted to become an editor -- an editor! -- at CBS News

the government should not be able to smash into your home and drag you into the street for no reason. it's kind of a core civil right, perhaps THE core civil right.
