College sports admins prefer the sport's economic situation right now to be chalked up to "the system" but if you're serious about it, you have to sometimes name individual actors in this space, and here is one: SCOTT WOODWARD

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Here the president is literally pocketing billions of dollars and 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

My God won’t somebody stop this Epstein Ballroom madness?!

This is who is paying for the destruction of the White House East Wing, per @wsj.com Altria Group Inc. Amazon Apple Inc. Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. Caterpillar Inc. Coinbase Global Comcast Corp. Hard Rock International Google HP Inc. Lockheed Martin Corp. Meta Platforms Inc. 1/3

haha oh geez wow what a thing to ask for

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

U.S. police kill roughly 25 pet dogs a day, the majority of which pose no threat to them. scholars.unh.edu/unh_lr/vol17... trace.tennessee.edu/utk_graddiss...

The amount of people harassed out of their jobs, suspended from this platform, etc for that piece of garbage and dear leader really dropped a “skill issue lol” on him.

“This heckin’ pupperino fucking hates La Migra,” to paraphrase from @weratedogs.com

“Living car-free is the most impactful behavior by far in terms of reducing emissions.”

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

“The Biden FBI” Who was President on January 6?

this was a touchdown pass

Members of Congress should be on the streets of DC—where many of them live! —putting their bodies between these law-abiding citizens and ICE. Congress should be demanding names, and promising ICE will be prosecuted when US democracy is re-established. But they are not—b/c they think it polls badly.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7." @timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

Three newly published books argue that cars are destroying society as well as the planet. Is the world finally ready to rein in the automobile? My essay, in @bloomberg.com (gift link below)

Under my guidance, our Washington Post editorial page is now devoted to free markets and individual liberties. Here’s an op-ed sanewashing January 6th. by Jeff Bezos

One last postseason diaper blowout for Clayton Kershaw. A beautiful sendoff for a legend.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

Idea: keep the inhalers, get rid of half a million cars per year.

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050. Just the start. Common sense.

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

Meat is a blind spot for people who care about climate. When I used to have dinner with my colleague Wally Broecker, the climate scientist who coined the term “global warming”, he would always order a steak.

"I believe that Americans would agree that the government can’t just make people disappear without any process or explanation. Second, because I want to give the government a chance to admit that they were wrong. So far the government has not done so." newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-a-us-ci...

"The twentieth century’s worst episodes did not begin with gunfire. They began with named categories—“parasites,” “vermin,” “degenerates,” “enemies of the people”—ways of talking that prepared the ground for ways of acting." newrepublic.com/article/2009...

Is Palpatine slaughtering the younglings in a smart way?

I gotta be real it is extremely doing a number on my mental well-being that mr. cato institue here is taking a stronger stand than the majority of the democratic party. the anti-DHS coalition is uhhhh a bunch of socialists, the cato institute and the neocons as led by bill kristol???

LMAO how'd that ass-kissing work out for you, Mr. Greenblatt? (I especially love that they did this on Yom Kippur.)

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

“I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive.”

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

“In 2023, cars and their drivers killed 8,820 American pedestrians and bicyclists — 7,314 pedestrians and 1,166 cyclists. They injured another 136,281, an increase of over 5,300 injuries from 2022.” Put the responsibility where it belongs. Via @jalopnik.bsky.social www.jalopnik.com/1979666/defe...

Hakeem Jeffries still refuses to endorse the Democratic Nominee for NYC mayor but has plenty of praise for Eric Adams who, left the party, openly supports Trump, & cut a deal with Trump to disappear the DOJ’s bribery & corruption charges against him. Can’t imagine why the Dem Party has 26% approval🤔

Exactly. Democrats have to recognize that they are fighting Putinism, not Eisenhower-Republicanism. And they need to start acting less like Adlai Stevenson, and more like Alexei Navalny. I’m not sure the older, whiter generation of Democrats will ever get this.

Trump declares martial law in Oregon and the Dems in Congress think it makes sense to have a fight about health care subsidies.

Tom Cillo the 58 year old freshman defensive lineman for the Division III Lycoming College football team in Williamsport, Pennsylvania has signed an NIL Deal with Aspercreme.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Chuck Schumer has showed us time and time again that he is wholly incapable of understanding and meeting the dangerous moment we are in. It’s time for new (and better) Democratic leadership.

Chotiner: and then you didn't send him to jail, and he ran again? USA: I mean yes but we do have pretty robust institutions, you know, the supreme court and so on Chotiner: I see. So they were able to stop the worst of it? USA: Well now it um the thing you have to understand

Not exaggerating when I say that if Dems ever get power again, this should be a top-tier policy priority.

The ERCOT Board will hear today that solar and storage "made the summer uneventful." Of course, uneventful is good. "Events," in grid parlance, are usually major problems. And there are a record 6 gigawatts of new resources coming in Q1. #txlege #txenergy 1/
