Durbin experiencing very high call volumes, perhaps because not a single person who voted for him for decades wants him to cave to the fascists.

Yeah, you can't even get, like, a rotisserie chicken, which can provide a meal for a family for pretty cheap. It's grotesque.

"I wonder if Penn State fans will rush the field if they upset Indiana" is not a thought that would have made sense at any other point in your life.

It is incredible that we take it for granted that the President will abuse his power if people don't agree to satisfy his ego.

I'm on SNAP benefits and I made myself a way better dinner than this cousin-wedding slop.

Uh, yeah, *this* is why no one likes my posts.

This, 100%. "But Sam Altman and a bunch of VCs want to become even richer" isn't a reason to let a democracy-killing Suicide Chatbot exist. Killing corporations like this is a key part of rebuilding our society for the better.

The thing about this lickspittery is that it is so hamfisted and obvious and pathetic that there is literally only one person in the world it could work on.

One of my "favorite" Cheney stories is that, when the administration had capsized under the weight of its own malevolent stupidity, he personally intervened in CA legislation to protect whales, because he just had to do something evil. www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna24428...

Cheney argued that the Vice President, since he votes in the Senate, was subject not subject to any oversight. The Imperial Fascist Presidency was his goal, even if he personally disliked Donald Trump.

It's genuinely amazing (not amazing) that Cuomo can't even fake anything other than self-interest. It would be so easy (and politically smart!) to say "this jerkoff can't threaten New York and can't tell US who to vote for, bay-bee!" But he can't even do that.

I am a Butler alum. I think about Hayward barely missing that shot to beat Duke in the championship all the time. I've had dreams where it goes in. Regardless of how awesome this postseason has been for Jays fans, and how fondly they'll remember it, just missing it never goes away.

All of you are like "please Jays, score more" but imagine how awesome it's going to be when it's a 1-run ninth. We all might die!

I did not know how good Vlad Jr was with the glove. I know he won a Gold Glove but so did a lot of people. He's awesome. Baseball is awesome!

What I really want out of Game 7 is a 20-minute break to acknowledge that none of us are in favor of cancer. I think I speak for all baseball fans.

Even calling this -- putting things in a toaster horizontally -- a "rookie mistake" is giving him way more leeway than it deserves. And it is very insulting even as written!

These idiots should be so ashamed to be kitted out like this in fucking Evanston

Yeah, that's the thing: "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is real. He's the dumbest most aggravating man in the world and he never shuts the fuck up and never stops making things worse.

Reese's Peanut Butter Pups

I take some succor in knowing that this fash pig is going to cry like a baby when he's sentenced.

Few things as have made me angrier (in re: White Sox, not like life overall). Just treating the idea of paying for the greatest talent ever as laughable. It is infuriating.

In addition to the obvious racism, it's so maddening how they take "here's what people who want Mamdani to lose want people to think" as legitimate framing. It makes it clear that this is also what the Times wants people to think

Sounds like @pftompkins.bsky.social supports cancer, which can only be "s(tood) up to" by music, and signs.

One reason social media is bad is because I have a fire going and a bottle of good wine and am reading a beautiful book which keeps moving me to tears but I looked at my phone to check the time and opened this app instinctively and now am mad that someone I DON'T EVEN FOLLOW doesn’t like "Heat"

These are the same people who never stop saying that conservatives are persecuted. God, I fucking hate them so much.

Seems a little gross to do a whole big "We Don't Like Cancer" thing during the World Series when the admin is shutting down mRNA research because Bobby Kennedy wants to feel smart.

I cannot fucking wait to see this guy in the dock one day. Him maybe more than anyone else.

I don't think this is dishonest; I think Cillizza is too dumb to know the difference. Or maybe I am being too generous, honestly. Either way, fuck him.

Trump has always believed -- as much as he believes in anything at all -- that becoming President meant the entire country was a subsidiary of Trump, Inc. His greed and unfathomable emptiness dovetails neatly with the fascists and monarchists that make up the GOP.

Fantastic article about Hegseth, and why he is not just the least-qualified SecDef (indeed, maybe Cabinet member) ever, but how is vain posturing fascism makes him the most disqualified as well. Alas...

I get this kind of thinking, but it is also more likely, I think, that he just really wants a big fancy ballroom.

OK. So, you know, get to the bottom of it. You're a Senator. You and the entire Republican Party, who control the FBI and both houses of Congress, keep talking about finding out who is funding this. Gonna start soon?

The "paid" is stupid, but the "organized" is just absurdly dumb. Yes, people organized things! That's how things work!

Hey, we're gonna win.

Fantastic, fascinating article.

MTG is a true believer, just not in anything. Crossfit, MAGA, it doesn't matter. She needs to find something with fervor. It wouldn't totally surprise me of she's a socialist in two years. She's lost, no center. Just resentment that she hasn't found meaning.

I don't remember them talking this much about No Kings in June. And the media mostly ignored it. But now they're all rushing to downplay it

This is horrific, and I think shows how much it will backfire. I obviously don't know the politics of the cemetery workers, but they seem like regular guys. More and more people are seeing the violent, unthinkingly brutal face of fascism. It's not too late.

This obvious bullshit aside, of course the dread YOU PERSONALLY FEEL is "palable." That's defintionally true. Amazing (not really) she'd run this idiot quote.

Honestly, how does a census taker test someone

Haunted Ecologies, by @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social, is so incredibly good so far. I try to take comfort in the supernatural but it never lets you forget the horrors that are coming. I've also been moved to tears like three times in the first five stories.

OK, now they have to do it, right?

[guy who only watches family feud at 11:30] Why is there baseball on my TV?

The longer this game goes the more chances I have to figure out the rules of The Floor. It's been a couple years of commercials with no progress, but I think I'm getting closer tonight.

Yo this is like watching the White Sox play the White Sox

Tigers are going to score two and then so will the Mariners and we'll start over and the Judge will never stop dancing and the Judge will never die

I mean, they have to do it here, right?

For some unknown reason the only ones on this list loud stupid people were performatively annoyed about were Shakira and Rihanna.

It is colonialism to call Phoenix an abomination

I love when rain in the distance seems like melting clouds, which is kind of what it is.
