Generational Freudian slip

My suggestion to the @mariners.com is they close the roof for the games. The shadow between the mound and home plate was an issue the last time the team made the playoffs.

The President of the United States just told over 800 of the US military’s senior leaders that US cities should become “training grounds.” So US troops in US cities. Why would @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social or Chuck Schumer agree to any deal with Trump.

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Dispatch from the front lines of war torn Portland. Not sure how much longer we can hold out

2/ start to break and people get mad it’s on them. Their economy, their govt, their government services. All on them. Voughts a degenerate criminal. Let him do it.

Turns out that nice, affable Jimmy Kimmel has repeatedly suffered real consequences for speaking truth to power.

iOS 26 is the sign that Apple has entered the ‘mid-1970s era Ford Mustang’ design phase.

Coates just doesn't miss. He doesn't. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Rewatching clips from “All The President’s Men” I’m reminded of how much Ford and the Congress are to blame for all of the corruption that has plagued us since. Nixon should have been sent to prison. Instead the messsage is that crime pays and the President is above the law. youtu.be/vETxuL7Ij3Q?...

Tickets for the Seattle show bought. Saw the original tour at the Grand Ole Opry w Fetchin Bones opening. There was a security guard, bearing a resemblance to Mark Twain, there that night who unsuccessfully tried to get fans to sit down. Reports of his death greatly exaggerated. @remhq.bsky.social

If the American people, through their elected representatives, voted to shut down all social media, online message boards, and every other form of one to many online communication via the Internet or other forms of mass media I definitely would be in favor. Let’s organize that . . . online.

WTF? Does “the right way” to “practice politics” include lying re factual matters (eg saying Black Women have too little brainpower to be “taken seriously”)? Mourning Kirk’s murder & defending his right to make his wild claims doesn’t excuse praising his political MO www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.

This is inspirational. Democracy is a participatory exercise. If you want to preserve “Lincoln’s America” you’ll have to get involved and fight. It’s not too late. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/o...

@mattdoyle.bsky.social How many more trophies does Schmetzer have to win before he gets into the conversation as one of the best coaches in MLS? Just curious because he’s rarely mentioned as a coach of the year candidate. @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com

this is a scene straight out of a war zone. the president has declared war on his own country.

The Rise of Right-Wing Nihilism www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/o... David Brooks is the guy in the hot dog costume wondering why there are so many fascists around here. It’s surely someone else’s fault.

Come One, Come All! Buy Your TV Subscriptions Here! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/b... TV has become a chore. Increasingly I am just not watching even though my subscriptions include YouTubeTV, Netflix, Apple, Amazon, PBS, and Root Sports, except FOR sports.

This perfectly sums up the reality of Trump. Until a new show emerges we are stuck with him.

Not trying to call out this post in particular but something I think about a lot is George Lakoff's observation that liberals respond to budget cuts by replacing them with private charity instead of with directing money to try to reverse the budget cuts

This is horrific and unacceptable.

BREAKING: At least 36 Palestinians have been killed, including 13 aid seekers, in Israeli attacks across Gaza today. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/sbiqpb

Such a rich fantasy life. A consistent feature of these images is that the suit fabric is remade with the texture of 19th century work clothes or uniforms. Look closely. No suit looks like this. Also this is when he held a rally with soldiers in the coliseum? Or when he burned the Epstein files.

The dam has burst

Of all the immoral things our government has done to us perhaps the most immoral is making healthcare so expensive while simultaneously outlawing euthanasia. People should have the choice to die painlessly rather than leaving their families with crushing debt.

Periodic reminder that Pete Carroll’s greatest accomplishment as a coach was making Los Angeles care about football.

Do you know who would know what is in the Epstein files? The lawyer who prosecuted the case. Oh, wait.👀

New version of The Terminator where the robots don’t decide to take human form and kill us, but decide it’s more efficient to convince us to kill each other.

i've never been particularly interested in epstein stuff, but if it turns out that the missing footage involves people entering or leaving the area of the cell it would probably be the biggest scandal in american political history.

It turns out Kerr County/Kerrville Texas took $10 million from the Biden administration, but they didn’t use it for what was suggested, a flood warning system. I saw a video several of them saying you better not take that money from the Biden admin they are communist www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

When I was in 8th grade my mother took away my Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden vinyl. She didn’t check for the Maxell tapes I’d recorded for car listening. Thanks to the band for all of the fun hours.

And that’s why PDLV doesn’t start.

Sounders owner apparently views the Club World Cup as a burden (increased compensation for players, increased operational expenses) but also an opportunity/need to sell merch.

Notice she's not talking about "criminals" anymore. Now they're onto who they perceive as their enemies, including the people *we* elected. They want to use L.A. to show they can force liberal cities into submission.

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

My five year old got gassed at a soccer game tonight.

I’m devastated to hear my friend of 50 years has passed. Just spoke to her 2 days ago & she was her usual feisty, hysterically funny self. This is a hard one. I was her 1st house guest in her new home in 1975 & helped her paint her NYC apartment. Just heartbroken. So hard to lose old friends.💔💔💔

Israel killed 75 people today—human beings with names, stories, and families. Our people aren’t numbers. Our people are precious; their lives matter, and their deaths aren’t trivial footnotes deemed not newsworthy. Shame on the west for allowing this daily slaughter to continue.

I miss Tom Petty.

Don’t normally condone “doing your own research” but I’ll make an exception for this one.

As two nuclear powers go to war, let’s all pray that the current leaders of America’s diplomatic and military machines aren’t distracted by a trans eighth grader winning a spot on the “wrong” basketball team or something else really important

all right, let’s go through this nonsense. first of all, this is just a police state. that’s what he’s describing. I don’t have anything clever to say. he wants cops to control your life, and aggressively and with “high impact”.

Just so we're all clear here: the Secretary of Defense has been sharing classified war planning about Yemen in unsecured channels, and now the Houthis have enough intel that they can target US aircraft carriers & force an F18 into the drink. Not hard to connect the dots here.

Welp, found a new band to listen to www.whidbeynewstimes.com/news/fbi-que...

Today is the 100th anniversary of the publication of “The Great Gatsby.” History doesn’t repeat but it does rhyme.
