Reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut describing his conversation with Joseph Heller about a billionaire. www.themarginalian.org/2014/01/16/k...

Amazon is making money off AI copies of books - and putting the onus on authors to prove they’ve been plagiarised. Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like bookshop.org www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Would love to watch a Big Ten basketball game where I didn't notice the refs

If the people putting their extraordinary brains to work on all this AI nonsense would instead work on ways to make my back stop hurting, this world would be infinitely better.

If you’re going to jingle ALL the way, I swear to god I will turn this car around

There's only one answer

The Ricketts bought almost every inch of real estate around Wrigley Field and brought 3M fans through the gates last year. They have a money-printing factory on the North Side and choose to not pay players AND layoff hard working, modest-income employees. chicago.suntimes.com/sports-media...

Brad Underwood is a good coach, but Dan Hurley keeps exposing him. I hate it

Lee might be Illinois’s best defender, which is impressive for a true freshman and somewhat indicting for the veterans

Dan Hurley sucks, go Illini

Big Ten refs be consistent challenge

I like this kid more every game

Andrej Stojakovic deserves all the praise he gets, but the Illini won because they had five guys in double figures. Tech got Toppin to do his thing and 21 from Watts, but no one else was a factor. Team game.

ANDREJ MOTHER FUCKING STOJAKOVIC

America’s chickenshit elites problem continues to be the biggest obstacle to fighting Trump www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Seems the office of @durbin.senate.gov (a) took their phone off the hook or (b) is overwhelmed by calls 5 minutes into the work week, which is either proof he's a coward or many people telling him not to be a coward and give in on Americans' health insurance.

Clase and Ortiz were never variables. MLB (and other leagues) embracing gambling was not A + B, it was always 1 + 1. This outcome was as predictable as it is sad.

David Mirkovic freshman of the year campaign rolling along nicely

If I didn't live in California I'd move to Illinois.

If Jarrel Hato gets arrested for match fixing tomorrow, I don't think there's a soul watching this Chelsea game that would be surprised

My kids think they’re too old for Ms Rachel, so I’m going to have to sneak this quote into K-Pop Demon Hunters somehow

This series has everything

we're going 19 this time, fuckos

"‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these," Jesus said in the book of Mark. "Except if they speak another language, in that case GTFO," he added in the book of Markwayne.

The Founders knew Congress - especially the House - was the backbone of U.S. democracy. It should be a huge story that Mike Johnson, serving Trump, has all but shut it down From the Reichstag Fire to Putin's toothless Duma, this is what dictators do. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

This baseball game is clearly scripted, but now we find out if it's a romcom or Jackass

Folks, if ICE shot a pastor in the head with a pepper ball on camera, what do you think they do to people behind closed doors?

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny": Listen for dangerous words.

This is why I never get my hopes up too high for Cleveland baseball

Listen, I love these Guardians, but they're absolute monsters for the way they play with my heart

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

pete hegseth, who you will recall has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, has announced a new policy by which you cannot file anonymous complaints of mistreatment. sex criminal solidarity.

Been thinking a lot on this MLK Jr. quote lately: “I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice…”

btw this is why people are freaking out, it’s not that Jimmy Kimmel is everyone’s favorite comedian

State Department to ban immigrants speaking ill of Charlie Kirk. VP to fly his body to Arizona on Air Force 2. Trump to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Journalists getting fired for asking the right questions. We are spiraling into a dystopia beyond our imagining.

The Great Khan does not blink first @nomads.bsky.social

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

For a decade and a half, the President of the United States was close friends with the world's most notorious pedophile

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.

I think @baseball-reference.com enables my mental illness

Chuckling at the accidental wokeness here: it is not possible to be a white "American," we are forever invaders on Native lands.
