behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

When your bullpen is fully rested and you bring in the worst pitcher on the team in a huge moment, you kinda deserve to lose.

I asked a Christian baker to write Charlie Kirk on a gay wedding cake and we've been staring at each other for 39 straight hours now

I was hoping the M's would get the late game today, and now that they have it ... I'm just annoyed. It's taking too long. Let's GO

There's a documentary that's been screening around the country for a year or two about the hedge fund that bought my local paper (and effectively ended my career in journalism), and I've been waiting for an opportunity to watch it. Looks like it hit PBS this week! It's good, infuriating stuff:

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

someone must have told gavin the game involves destroying hastily built shelters

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

"Contrarian" is killing me, the whole premise of the Free Press is telling rich elderly and middle-aged men that they're right about everything

Everyone in this admin is a different type of tik tok guy. Natural cures only no medicine guy. Alpha warrior guy who hasn't been in a fight with anyone except his wife. Evil trad wife

every day JB is out there showing none of this is hard, the democratic party is just that soft

Trying not to read too much into it, but the selection of a guy who wears dresses and performs only in Spanish tells me that Trump has lost the juice.

Meanwhile at the Riyadh comedy festival

DAVID CROSS: “I am disgusted and deeply disappointed… These are some of my HEROES… how can any of us take any of you seriously ever again?” Here’s who went to the Riyadh Comedy Festival: www.timeoutriyadh.com/news/riyadh-...

It has been a TOUGH start to the 2025 season for the Tennessee Titans. www.sbnation.com/nfl/1082398/...

About to be the family that owns TikTok.

thinking about a professor I had, maybe the kindest and most easygoing person I’ve ever met, coming back from a faculty lunch with john roberts and sighing “christ what an asshole”

Having a hard time even processing the M's winning a division title. Amazing feeling, but also kinda confusing.

Speaking officially as the host of Jeopardy!, Cal Raleigh is the correct MVP vote.

No words. I believed in Ryan. We moved to Oklahoma because he promised that my awful sons Enigmus Rex and Pance would be given handguns in kindergarten and then not be given any instruction on how to use them safely. I bought a shitty gray house in Tulsa because he promised they wouldn't be woke.

Fuck yes, Mariners

A bad politician and a bad person, but I'm gonna miss this guy when he fades away pretty soon. Just wildly funny. bsky.app/profile/luxa...

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

The Onion got me really good today.

Sincerely rooting for all those Rapture people today. I really do hope that they leave earth.

Can't believe it was Tylenol this whole time

New from me: Last week I noticed a feature on TikTok that used AI to scan videos and identify products. It turns out the feature is being applied even to videos from Gaza. In one, a mother cries out for her family. TikTok tagged dresses, head coverings, and handbags. www.theverge.com/tech/782540/...

A rich and powerful man voluntarily bearing a cross onstage, but adding wheels so it's not remotely difficult, is the perfect picture for our country.

Mariners

I generally don't give a shit what people want to do for my funeral, but I think my wife would be a little pissed if everyone set off fireworks to celebrate a different guy.

MUST SEE: The ending of this Mariners vs. Astros game is WILD 👀

I had absolutely no idea that the Apple Cup was today. Just a completely broken sport.

Klein is one of the most confusing things in media today. He's not particularly well-versed in anything, and his entire reader base is just like nine of his friends who also happen to be media writers. I don't understand why I always have to hear about his opinions. bsky.app/profile/samd...

Marilyn Hagerty — who didn’t give a flying breadstick what the cynics thought — became a national celebrity when her review of a North Dakota Olive Garden went viral. She has died at age 99. nyti.ms/3IgHbYF

This kind of shit is going to ruin so many lives

incredible

I don’t disagree with the point being made here, but also they do this like every three weeks. They were calling for Civil War about the Cracker Barrel logo.

I will say that I find it weird that a lot of people are like "this is the moment that will tip us into violence" when a Minnesota politician was assassinated in her home 2 months ago and someone literally shot Trump in the head last year. how exactly is charlie kirk the tipping point

I think if you listen to a podcast with fake AI people saying AI generated words you are functionally dead, you are basically a phone to me at that point

Some police officers in New York State drove drunk. They crashed their official vehicles and hit other motorists. They arrived at work reeking of alcohol. And yet, they sometimes evaded criminal punishment, an investigation by The New York Times and New York Focus found.

a lot of bad-faith grifters are taking my words out of context just because i told jeffrey dahmer to "stay hungry," in writing, at his birthday party, that i was at.

saw this in the thomas pynchon subreddit lol

wazzzaaaa dude happy birthday lol 😝 hope you’re having a good one wish i was there Also we all know the secret we share. Into the depths of darkness men like us tread. The hunger that drives us away from the light.

On Thursday, the Holocaust Museum LA posted “'Never again' can’t only mean never again for Jews” on instagram. It’s notable because they would be recognizing the genocide in Gaza. Anyway, they pulled it down today saying, “we promise to do better.”

Silksong is real, and I have it, and it's a really good day.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.

God damn, Sounders
