They warned me that if I voted for Kamala Harris we’d get a new deal with the Iranian regime worse than the JCPOA. I voted for Kamala, and they were right.

reiterating my position that unless oil is actually on boats moving out of the gulf and towards customers this is all just conversation bsky.app/profile/sky....

The double play the Royals hit into was sooo bad. Popup was in the air for like 5 seconds, runner still got doubled up

Utterly typical of MAGA to believe that weather forecasts are biased, or to blame the weather reporter for the bad weather (whichever this is)

When we lads were 12 years old, and one of us would inadvertently touch the other, the touched guy might say "hey, stop moeing me, man". To "mo" meaning to act in a way that evinced homosexuality. Anyway, I'm not proud of what callow shits we were then. But we outgrew it, unlike the GOP in 2026.

Marco Rubio on ABC World News Tonight comparing UFC to JFK's promise to put a man on the moon. Really

This might be hard for Americans to hear, but the USA getting humiliated by its abject failure as a power during this Iran War might be the best thing possible at this time. The country needs to understand there are consequences for electing a crook.

They want a Democratic Party that is economically more socialist and socially or culturally less diverse/woke. Those are the opposites of my preferences, but not hard to figure out.

I suspect we will be in this very stalemate with Iran for the rest of Trump's presidency. He can't back down, and doesn't have the guts to pledge the country to a real ground war.

The next Democratic government should simply seize all of Elon Musk's wealth as an example to anyone else who might want to convert their fortune into political power.

The bigger picture is that Trump is surrounded by sycophants who will gladly give tongue baths like these in return for carte blanche on their own favorite issue (about which Trump neither cares nor is competent to foresee the political consequences)

"We come after. We know now that a man can read Goethe or Rilke in the evening, that he can play Bach and Schubert, and go to his day's work at Auschwitz in the morning. To say that he has read them without understanding or that his ear is gross, is cant." —George Steiner, "Language and Silence"

I love how the same people who are talking about expanding the Supreme Court and statehood for DC and Puerto Rico also feel that Graham Platner is not quite the thing. The gears don't mesh if Platner doesn't win!

The Knicks were dominating the NBA Finals. Then their owner invited Donald Trump to watch the game. All downhill since #ETTD

ABC announcers are so in the tank for the Knicks

Tired: is Wemby too fragile for the NBA Wired: is Wemby the reincarnation of Rick Mahorn

Also, you don't get to post things like this, then hide behind being a paraplegic. You deserve every bit of abuse that comes your way, no matter how cruel

Can anyone imagine John Connelly, or even George W. Bush, issuing something at once so hateful and so juvenile?

Susan Collins pretending to be outraged about Graham Platner, while never objecting to Donald Trump. No one will buy it

Just handicapping the fall races, without regard to my own preferences: Graham Platner, who would probably not disagree with people who might call him a dirtbag, is likelier to win than James Talarico, an avatar of "when they go low, we go high". Sign of the times

If it were up to me, sleeve tattoos would be a disqualifier for a high office such as US Senator or Secretary of Defense. But I am in many ways out of step with the age

Important to remember that the legal profession will never take the lead on Supreme Court reform. Its leaders have too much invested in the notion that the Court is fundamentally Good and Right, and that solving for the real-world consequences of its worst decisions is someone else’s problem.

Hegseth has large biceps, pecs, traps, etc. That he can't actually lift very much is well-nigh incontrovertible proof that he abuses steroids.

Just once, I would like one of these congresspeople to say “If you’re not willing to acknowledge reality about this, then I have no reason to trust you about anything else. I will vote no. I yield the rest of my time.”

Allegedly the banned-for-life list from the soon to shutter Parkview Tavern.

Stone Temple Pilots were the exact before and after point for grunge. There were several excellent grunge groups before them, and all of the grunge acts after them sucked. STP themselves were neither bad nor good

Without chemical fertilizer, the earth could only produce enough food for 1/3 of the population we have now. Which 2/3 of the population do they feel doesn't deserve to live?

It is the de facto position of the Republican Party that any election they lose was fraudulent

I was underwhelmed by my Lamy Safari fountain pen until I started using it with the refillable ink reservoir (included) instead of cartridges. The difference is like day versus night, so effortlessly does it write with the converter.

You'll be undoubtedly surprised to find that Fox News has been covering the Dallas-area black-white murder trial wall-to-wall

Voter fraud is just a white nationalist shibboleth at this point, that they no longer even bother to flesh out with specific allegations, however invented. Low energy!

IQ tests do not measure intelligence. They measure performance on a narrow set of testable tasks. That is not the same thing as insight, wisdom, creativity, judgment, or actual competence in life. Smart people do not need to walk around waving a laminated permission slip from the puzzle factory.

They sneaked Trump in while the national anthem was being sung. They know that most of the country despises him.

Gore Vidal and Norman Mailer in heaven, co-authoring a non-fiction novel about Jeffrey Epstein

It is liberal decency that allows Mormons to be treated, rightly, as equals with Baptists and Catholics, and Muslims and non-believers. If we ever regress to being the "Christian" nation that Lee's party envisions, Mormons will find themselves on the outside looking in, as before.

Over the last 5 months, what has been the ratio of media coverage of Spencer Pratt (loser) to that for Nithya Raman (finalist)? Cc: @mmfa.bsky.social

It's so much sweeter to see Pratt humbled after his hopes were raised

Yeah! It kind of does!

The number of pitchers a batter faces during a regular MLB season has to be 4x higher than in Ruth thru Mantle days, between expansion, interleague play, larger starting rotations, and much greater use of relief pitchers.

I share the general frustration that MSM have normalized and enabled the Trump administration. But I've never thought that more defiant posturing from reporters interviewing Trump (or any leader) made much difference.

Excellent obituary for Oregon Republican Senator Bob Packwood. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/06/pack...

Whatever the outcome, that the so-called liberal media gave Pratt 10x the coverage of Raman is the absolute utmost bullshit

Breakfast for me is coffee plus just enough food (toast, croissant, donut) that the coffee doesn't upset my stomach.

Personally, if Hegseth wants to argue that the allies of WW2 and the desperate migrants of our time are on the same side, I have no objection

It's funny how the pitch for SpaceX is domination of the global AI business but the company's primary business (~60% of revenue going forward) is leasing its GPUs to Anthropic and Google at a discount because nobody wants to use Musk's MechaHitler AI.

This is why straight-ticket voting should be allowed, encouraged, and facilitated.

But ultimately what we are left with is a prep school dude with a Totenkopf tattoo who was dating right wing operatives in 2016, signing up with Blackwater in 2018, and started cosplaying as an oyster man in 2020. Maybe he’s just not the great left hope the podcasters thought he was?

5 teams out of 15 in the American League above .500. Sad!

Three past NBA Rookies Of The Year in this NBA Finals: Stephon Castle, Victor Wembanyama, and Karl Anthony Towns

One of the San Antonio Spurs nuns being interviewed on the white power channel, definitely disappointing
