Has anyone noted that Johnson is stalling the Grijalva swearing-in because he/they have a very specific date in the future that they are trying to reach where the swearing-in doesn’t matter any more? what could that date be? I invite wild speculation.

Stop writing about the consequences and start writing about the cause.

It’s like living inside the Camper Von Beethoven song “Flowers.”

What’s next? Giving John Wayne a posthumous Medal of Honor?

Here we go with Threads sharing an accusation that a person is a member of a non-existent organization putting that person’s life at risk.

They’ve already obfuscated the Disney+ cancellation process on the App. Will they continue to bill just like the Times after cancellation?

The “new normal” is a gaslighter’s reduction of “abnormal.” Do not forget that.

The number of people who believe in the existence of professional hit men in the first place is a real testament to our cultural belief that movies are real

Charlie Kirk is a fucking human being—anybody celebrating him being shot or using it for clickbait on social media is going straight to hell. The guy's a dad and a husband, and no matter how much you disagree with him or don't like him, he doesn't deserve this.

I don't understand why this professor kept engaging. I would have just moved on to the next part of the lecture/class material for the day. Students ARE NOT in charge of me nor are they qualified to be in charge of anything as undergraduates at an undergraduate educational institution.

"For now" means "Forever" for now. #SCOTUS #FASCISM

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border. This is how the police dealt with them. Literally beat the hell out of them. This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

The stupidity hurts.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

Herodotus made up the part where the Spartans held the rear as the other Greeks escaped. If he was killed along with all of the Spartans (and the 700 Thespians who are always left out), how would anyone know his last words? Ah, mythmaking.

Did we really want a VP Peter Thiel this soon anyway

Suburbanites have giant WELCOME boards next to front door with No Solicitors signs. Jehovah's Witnesses just stand there for hours.

I wish there was a casino where I could put down a few bucks with zillion-to-one odds on, like, Algeria or Sudan or Namibia harnessing solar energy and becoming an industrial superpower. On the one hand, unrest, state capacity, corruption, colonial legacies etc. On the other hand:

Some of these are WTF. Some of them are great and the winner will be picked from those. Others make me want to run through brick walls. @drewmagary.bsky.social this is your wheelhouse.

I've always wanted to do a survey of Americans with an item having them estimate the number of US service personnel killed in WW2. Those sailors, soldiers, and Marines are owed deep respect. My hypothesis is that Americans would grossly overestimate the number, which is between 407316 and 416800.

A friend: "Maybe Trump dies, Vance gets the presidency, and this will all get better." Me: "I am worried you maybe psychotic."

I wonder if this guy ever won his lawsuit against an indie venue that wasn’t even part of the festival he had a VIP pass for? “I’m a Wendy’s VIP and Krystal’s made me wait in line! I’M SUING!!!” The stupidity would be laughable if it weren’t coupled with such entitlement.

MSNBC announces rebranding as Internet Explorer.

So that's four gay icons and George Strait. Got it.

This guy is an epic bullshitter. He’s claims he brings on the deepest dark special operators to talk about missions. It’s doubtful. My father operated a radio intercept in Greece watching the Yugoslav air force. He was swore to secrecy and didn’t tell me until he was dying. It was merely “secret.”

Ok. Not a Brady fan, but the statue is as cool as Miles Davis counting time. #patriots

I want to write a short story in which a Brookline man who looks disturbingly like Alan Dershowitz keeps getting denied all kinds of everyday services on Martha’s Vineyard until he reaches his breaking point and goes on an Albanian-scale vendetta against Dershowitz.

Release the Epstein Files

Epstein’s "little black book" totals 97 pages, containing 1,571 names and roughly 5,000 phone numbers. At least 38 names are mysteriously circled, including Donald Trump's. “I got my hands on a copy,” writes Leland Nally. “I made close to 2,000 phone calls.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
