I love reading this as if I don't know that "baby steps" is a video game

Just ONCE I would like the opportunity to bring MY longevity protocols to massage robots

This is, I think, the best push alert and makes me wonder why this directness isn’t the norm.

These findings in the new Washington Post poll jump off the page: Trump is underwater by 19 points on his handling of the economy (40/59) and underwater by 30 points on his handling of tariffs. By contrast, the same poll found him at +14 net approval on the economy in Oct. 2020.

If you’re wondering whether my dogs like it when I sing “Glad Girls” by Guided by Voices to them while they’re waiting for me to give them chicken jerky chews, the answer is NO

This is the most embarrassed I’ve ever felt in my life

Then the question is whether they want to do a hard thing now or agree to get rinsed by the protection racket forever

Damn @carolleonnig.bsky.social with a barn burner of a scoop www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

remarkably bleak stuff

It's become clear that Charlie Kirk is worth more to Trumpworld dead than he ever was alive. defector.com/charlie-kirk...

I’m sorry, the statistical likelihood that Nate Silver wrote one of the most absurd things you’ve ever read is only 97%, and it is impossible for my model to be proved wrong under any circumstances, due to science

Michael Eisner and I wrote the same column today??

I love that the NYT made themselves into an example for all of us to see what happens when the Administration Wields Its Full Toolbox to Bring the Media to Heel

I can tell this site needs more sports knowers because everyone's been yelling about canceling Disney+ and Hulu all day and I literally haven't seen anyone yelling about canceling the new ESPN app, which was just rolled out and the success of which is existential for ESPN.

Government officials do not get to decide that your rights have become inconvenient or problematic. They are your rights. They are not privileges provided by the government and revocable at will.

I spent all day writing a column about the vital importance of the free press and then logged on to learn that Olivia Nuzzi will be covering California for Vanity Fair

It physically nauseates me to see trade reporters cover the potential Paramount-Warner merger as mere asset shuffling and not a fucking death knell for this industry. It's absolutely maddening to see short sighted, hateful ghouls sell off the thing you built your life around for parts.

Very grateful that Laura was willing to talk to me about her daughter, Sophie, and what she told ChatGPT before she died by suicide. slate.com/podcasts/wha...

correct. also media members often recognize their cultural and class isolution, but then struggle to distinguish between what they see online and genuine public sentiment, leading to them assuming public opinion is significantly more ignorant and right-wing than it is.

The Crimson, scooping every news outlet not run by undergraduates working in between classes, gets into how court orders mandating return of research funding have been flaunted, and makes a clear case for contempt proceedings against DOGE officials. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

chatgpt is much like an improv comedy group 1) you are the audience, giving it prompts 2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt 3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And 4) it has the factual accuracy of improv 5) it does not understand comedy

Ooh, #USOpen just showed Trump on screen again during this set break and there was loud, clear booing this time.

I know we call a lot of things Nazi shit these days but this is pure Nazi shit. "Don't show the Fuhrer in an unflattering light!!!"

If you consider yourself a legitimate news organization, it is your duty to ignore this grotesque bootlicking by the fascist enablers at the US Open America was built on saying “fuck you” to kings.

Almost a bit of a letdown? Like it’s cool to see the Great Library of Alexandria and so forth but I was kind of expecting a fire?

I’m sorry for Anisimova, who’s great, but mostly I’m just so relieved to have made it through an entire Sabalenka match without being pushed into fight or flight mode by her body language

The world’s healthiest sport!!!

If you’re going to the final, there’s only one solution to this, and that’s to boo him so loudly they hear you in Sacramento

“The future of Downton is now in Mary’s hands,” the masseuse whispered tenderly

Normally I hate on-court coaching in tennis, but it’s kinda fun when both players are screaming at their coaches after every point

If you're havin' Aryna Sabalenka problems, I feel bad for you, son. I got ... no rhyme for that. Christ. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have even started.

“Aryna what’s going through your mind right now” ENOUGH CORTISOL TO KILL AN ELEPHANT HERD THANKS

My only rooting interest in this match is “I don’t want billionaires to win the U.S. Open” but I think I could get a stress migraine watching Aryna pour a glass of milk

Problems, ranked by the intensity of the stress they cause me: 4. Other people’s serious problems 3. My insignificant problems 2. My serious problems 1. Aryna Sabalenka’s problems

“The future of Downton is now in Mary’s hands,” I cry as the airlock door rips off the pod bay and my body goes spinning into the frozen void of space

I’ve been listening to Cliff Drysdale call tennis matches since I was a kid, and in that time he’s annoyed me less than almost any other commentator I can think of, which only sounds like faint praise if you don’t watch a lot of tennis. I’m going to miss him.

It started taking the piss, how did it end up like this? (It was only the piss) It was only the piss Now I'm right bloody chuffed and she's calling me naff While he's popped round the chip and she's havin’ a laff

Every single quote from the novel supposedly under analysis was hallucinated. Every single one.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

It’s like an argument in the third act of an X-Files where Scully is still insisting the monster is swamp gas

How can the U.S. Open crowd watch Sinner do this to another human being and not try to intervene. Monsters

Exclusive: Meta has appropriated the names and likenesses of celebrities — including Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez — to create dozens of flirty social-media chatbots without their permission, Reuters has found reut.rs/3JWb00R
