his excuse is they wouldn’t put the starving children on the phone with him.

I wrote about the Trump regime's flailing attempt to co-opt the World Cup in service of their blood-and-soil politics, and why it's important to reject this messaging and engage in the joy of an event that is antithetical to the fascist worldview. badfaithtimes.com/fascists-are...

A few days ago I saw someone spell out the backgrounds of the players pictured here. Can't find it now. Any help would be appreciated!

Ezra Klein is like all of the feckless delegates at the “Peace Conference” of 1861 rolled up into one and convening for a decade

I am ... not entirely comfortable with something like this.

It's always kinda funny to see these posts because it reminds you that they saw COVID era racial justice protests as "left wing mobs burning down cities" and anti-racist messaging as "left wing."

Our Seahawks!

Good Morning! 🌞 Column is up!! Guest column from two-time Super Bowl champion Pro Bowl linebacker Kyle Van Noy, on the NFL rules he’d change, and a controversial one he’d keep! www.betweenthehashmarks.com/p/kyle-van-n...

these guys are coooooooooked

I see Ezra Klein is back to urging everyone to just get along. Made me think of this excellent blog from @andyelrick.bsky.social. badfaithtimes.com/ezra-klein-i...

My reflecting pool's green 🤢 My Pride Month is 🌈Gay🌈 Fuck Amazon Prime IT'S BUY A BOOK TUESDAY!!! Don't waste your money on Amazon's scam Prime Day!

you’re hearing this more and more

“Ben Johnson, meanwhile, has talked up Luther Burden III more breathlessly than the best ball bros…. The head coach said in late May that he’s ‘buying Luther Burden stock right now.’ “Warren Buffett was unavailable for comment.” — @dennycarter.bsky.social x 🐻👇🏾 www.nbcsports.com/fantasy/foot...

The most comically evil men alive prepping for Woke 2.0

if i were norway's opponent i would simply stop haaland

And even in this environment Democrats are basically conceding the Florida Senate race? floridapolitics.com/archives/802...

"Fancy numbers like 'completion rate' and 'catchable pass rate' don't mean anything: Caleb Williams is the best quarterback in football." - @dennycarter.bsky.social, exact quote www.nbcsports.com/fantasy/foot...

It’s really maddening that even now, more than a year later, media outlets grant DOGE the presumption of good faith.

Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski says Zachariah Branch can line up anywhere on the field. He could play from the boundary or the slot. He could play from the backfield. He could stand atop the tight end's shoulders or stand on his head 30 yards behind the line of scrimmage. There is no limit.

Mark Carney and his fans need to understand that no act of goodwill towards Trump will ever EVER be rewarded, no negotiation honoured, no favour repaid. Ever.

I am a coal miner in Pennsylvania. I go to church every Sunday. I bowl on Wednesday nights. On Fridays I take my wife to Chili’s. And every day I wake up and check on Iran’s uranium enrichment percentage.

My dentist is always intent on completely fucking up my hair. They must teach this in dental school.

as God is my witness I just learned that JD Vance is younger than me

Crazy thing is: D+15 is probably the ceiling. That no major media outlet is even entertaining this possibility means no one will be ready. badfaithtimes.com/this-is-what...

Low-key liberal accomplishments coupled with high-profile policy concessions to the right and aggressive conservative virtue signalling — this is exactly the strategy moderates have recommended for Democrats here, of course. Didn't work too well. Maybe some lessons there.

me when JD Vance says “us millennials”

One day, maybe a few years from now, maybe twenty years from now, someone somewhere is gonna tell you Trump’s troops never occupied DC. They’ll say you misremember it or just hated the man so much that you made it up.

google how to beam article into father brain

This is basically it. “Machine, tell me how to make people like me.”

Couldn’t sleep so I set this Jesse Marsch celebration to Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit”

I only hope Democrats take away the right lessons from the Labour Party’s failed popularism (not populism) experiment. Wrote about it for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/a-blaring-wa...

All headlights need to be like they were 25 years ago. If you can’t deal with that you’ll eventually get over it.

Good news for Musk is that purchasing the entire U.S. government for like $250 million means there will be no serious investigation into this.

We learn at a very young age that fear is the centerpiece of parenting (in many cases). Even if you reject this, you sometimes adopt it in your own parenting. I know I have at times.

I feel the same. And I think a lot of fathers conflate healthy respect for fear.

For a lot of dads, the authoritarian parenting model is the only one they’ve ever known. It doesn’t have to be that way. badfaithtimes.com/dads-resist-...

Go Anyone But Wyndham Clark and the rule of law!

If it feels like our democracy, and the laws that provide its moral shape, are losing ground to confederates and fascists, it's because the threat is strong, and the backsliding is real. But don't underestimate our anti-fascists. We won't simply defeat DOGE, Musk and the GOP; we will vanquish them.

Dads swarming, reliving their sports glory of yesteryear, talking about how much we need the rain.

When Barron runs for president in thirty years someone needs to roll this clip and be like dawg, he didn’t even know you were his son

The chuds thought they were electing the master architect of a thousand year fascist regime. Instead they got a whiney, vapid, failed interior decorator obsessed with making everything around him look like a Miami country club circa 1989.

I wrote a little something for the dads out there. badfaithtimes.com/dads-resist-...

Probably should have guards to keep RFK Jr from putting his face in there and making motorboat noises

My daughter made me banana bread for Father’s Day. They’re calling her a banana bread baking prodigy.

Why is @dennycarter.bsky.social in the wall market of the final fantasy 7 remake. Inquiring minds want to know.

If you only read one thing in the next 7 days, let it be this.

The thing about authoritarianism is that as it gets more brittle, it gets more ridiculous. This sort of over the top dumb bullshit doesnt happen without Trump feeling like the reflecting pool fuck up is a personal embarrassment for him & thus not allowed to stand.
