“Uninspected Meat” the title of Larry Summers memoir

Here we go, here we go, here we go! Will a player do the equivalent of Ireland v Portugal last night and put two past them as well as get their poster boy sent off? Okay, maybe football analogies don't work with Scrabble - but you should still watch WESPAC 2025 Live! www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6cy...

Cuomo: Look, in the heat of battle you say strident things. But elections aside I remain the reasonable, moderate leader you know. Reporter: But why are you in blackface? Cuomo: I will ask my lawyer to respond to that Lawyer: Mr. Cuomo has….okay could you possibly take your hand off of my vulva

Thinking today about that time in 2006 that Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face while they were hunting, and my college boyfriend responded by writing a parody of “The Longest Time” for his a cappella group called “Cheney Shot a Guy”

It’s so great to see Red Panda back at it #Bulls #Sixers

Accidentally clicked on the WaPo editorial on Mandami today. “Biased” isn’t the word I’d use; these people are having a psychotic break with reality.

I believe this is an excellent illustration of the Greek term “omphaloskepsis” or, as we say colloquially, “huffing your own farts”

I would like to express the appropriate government-mandated amount of sorrow at the events of the day.

Finally they’re doing something about all these podcasts

The Rubicon was crossed in American politics when the Brooks Brothers riot and a corrupt Supreme Court handed a presidential election to the candidate who lost. Everything since then has been continuation of the hostile takeover of democracy greenlit in 2000.

The Bluesky app is designed to be right-handed and it is very annoying.

Who are you going to believe? The Washington Post, or your own lying eyes?

Trump was an FBI informant on Epstein like Kawhi was a spokesman for the importance of planting trees.

Ouch…

Basically a howto describing an easy way to completely fuck up an encryption standard. Remember kids: there’s only two kinds of encryption, secure and insecure. If someone won’t be completely open to show why it’s secure — it’s surely not. www.wired.com/story/encryp...

Republicans have been shitting on the military since the Purple Heart bandaids at the 2004 RNC. They are disgusting humans who hate America and its heroes.

New Hartford Citizens Band Festival tomorrow at the Village Green in New Hartford NY. I'll be playing in the Phoenix, NY band and possibly joining the NHCB at 4:00. #Music #Musicsky #Band

Wild ride to see the Republicans go from “Read my lips” to “pedophiles taxing the shit out of you”

You laugh but these guys now qualify to join the local VDW

“No public transit available” is only a problem in poor, developing nations. Again, like Texas.

When I get a medical opinion from a doctor, my first thought is, great, but what do my state representatives think about this?

Random, but: DYBBUK is one of my favorite Scrabble plays ever; won me a close endgame once

In the late '70s, a man in Iowa and a man in Edinburgh each started working on computerised Scrabble. Here's the story of how their work eventually came together in one hit game in 1984. Different types of popular games have always co-existed! www.superchartisland.com/computer-scrabble

Reminder we have a special one-off Scrabble challenge match with live streaming & commentary starting soon - Wellington vs Nsikak. Not familiar with Nsikak but Wellington is very exciting / mind blowing www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBjB...

Oh they just drafted that kid from Duke who went into hiding after the NCAA tournament because Trump threatened to deport him. Glad they tracked him down.

FOX NEWS: FUCK THEM KIDS

Counterpoint: the DMV in Missouri is a shitshow and also it’s completely privatized.

Sex pests closing ranks

Ehh let’s not oversell it. These people used their intellectual capacity to lie America into a war that they personally could profit from. The “known unknowns” bit was pretty epic, though.

Freedom Fries 🍟

In retrospect, trading him was not worth five minutes of Javy Baez. #LGM

It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court says; a society that bans life saving healthcare for children is a degenerate society on the brink of collapse.

Strongly worded letter of protest ready to go

It would be horrible if conflict broke out in the Pacific right now. Having to fight a war on another front might threaten the gains we’ve made in the conquest of California.

I’ll tell you what: if the Marines occupy my city, they cannot sleep on my couch. I know my Third Amendment rights.

If he can’t deal with David Hogg, this simpering fool has no business leading the party in opposition to the Trumpist regime.

Eagerly waiting to read the thousandth article about Joe Biden’s sanity, though.
