And thus concludes another year of mediocre baseball. May next year be…better?

once again when i posted this 8 years ago IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE

WE GOT A HIT!

Incredible pairing of text and chart

My general belief is that Dems need to spend more time thinking about what they believe and less about what they think some imaginary swing voters want them to believe. Political strategy will stem from an authentic set of beliefs.

Gonna need teams to not play fucking “Golden” between innings thank you.

Great standing ovation for Michael A. Tater when he came up to bat.

Here’s the thing: rights ultimately protect all of us or none of us. Freedom exists for all of us or none of us. The urge to carve off communities one-by-one — a little off the trans flank here, a little off the Black side there — leads down a road to freedom being demolished for all of us.

if literally everything else is the same except that the upper peninsula of michigan was part of wisconsin and the florida panhandle was part of alabama, clinton wins decisively and Trump becomes a forgotten joke. It makes you think! bsky.app/profile/lisa...

The Republican Party is the party of cranks and crooks.

This is such a ripoff. I’ll name your baby for like $20k.

It’s hard to convey the insanity of a thirty-something White House staffer getting an interim US Attorney appointment and marching into the grand jury room alone four days later to indict the former Deputy Attorney General and Director of the FBI

…in favor of explicitly aligning itself with the right wing regimes of both the United States and Israel. Greenblatt runs cover for explicit antisemitism from Trump and his cohort because he has prioritized supporting Netanyahu in particular.

Want to clarify something - people seem to think I’m saying something that I’m not. The ADL was never a ‘left-aligned’ organization. One of its strengths was that it catalogued antisemitism on BOTH the left and the right. But under Greenblatt it has chosen to ignore obvious right-wing antisemitism…

Greenblatt took a worthy organization dedicated to fighting antisemitism and turned it into AIPAC junior - just another lobbying arm of the right wing Netanyahu regime. And the mostly liberal Jewish population of NYC sees that.

Either Dr. Ian Roberts is a master con artist or ICE is lying. He cannot have arrived in the US in 1999 and graduated from Coppin State in 1998. This is not an Orwell novel. Both of these things cannot be true.

Guys…I’m beginning to think that Commodore Kegsbreath isn’t the sharpest bayonet in the arsenal.

🚨🚨 NEW DOCUMENTS FROM EPSTEIN'S ESTATE DETAILING HIS DAILY SCHEDULE: They show meetings with Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, and a potential visit to Epstein’s Island for Elon Musk. Prince Andrew is listed as a passenger on Epstein’s jet. DOJ must release the Epstein files NOW.

Every so often I sit quietly, look out a window, and think to myself -- as so many people who remember the 1980s must -- how surreal it is that the American democratic experiment was ultimately undone by *that* guy

To be clear, Comey did not make the quoted statement on 9/30/20. He made it on 5/3/17, far beyond the statute of limitations. He reaffirmed it on 9/30/20 but the indictment is incorrect on its face.

Probably no man bears more individual responsibility for electing Trump the first time, and this is also transparent bullshit bsky.app/profile/phil...

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

“Don’t make me tap the sign.”

Honestly this is actually kind of a serious problem! A lot of rhetoric around I/P appeals to the *people* of Gaza or Israel and not the *governments* involved, because Hamas refuses to act as a responsible government & surrender, but Israel refuses to obey the will of its people & negotiate.

Appalling, appalling video. I genuinely think the NYPD should investigate for assault. There was no call at all for level of violence. She perhaps brushed him with her hands but she was not posing a threat at all.

There’s absolutely no reason to take the word of the head of Temu Stasi.

CHOTINER: I don't know, I just feel like I've been tacitly operating in a moral framework that would fall apart with even the barest scrutiny. But maybe that collapse would bring new clarity DOCTOR: Listen, there is an interviewer I want you to talk to. The best in the business. CHOTINER: ...

20 years ago I was drinking with some friends at the Brickskeller and saw a cute woman at the next table over. Chatted her up a bit, and became clear she was Argentinian. Later in the evening, she was quite drunk and started shouting “THOSE ARE OUR ISLANDS” to her table mates.

"The sharp edges of these steel steps" OMG is the President Slippin' Jimmy?

that they’re rushing to meet the statute of limitations and have already pushed out a prosecutor who didn’t think they had a case tells me there’s an enormous chance they eat shit in hugely embarrassing fashion if they actually bring this to trial

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

"New Joe, with his much larger organ." "My condolences!"

Microsoft has an amazing threat intel team with lots of very talented people. I wish they could force their product folks to NOT HIDE PHISHING RESISTANT MFA BEHIND PREMIUM SKUS.

monologue is up! m.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Trump pushed Kimmel into going full resistance lib for the biggest audience he will ever have. Another masterclass from the president.

Follow up question: where does one get this wearable Torah cover? Did he just have it in his wardrobe or did he buy it for the occasion. I…would buy this.

So why did Eric Adams dress up as a Torah?

CHOTINER: This game you like to play, what's it called? ME: Slay the Spire. CHOTINER: And you play it on the computer? ME: Yeah. Well, I also have it on my phone. I played another 300 hours. CHOTINER: And these other games in your Steam library. Have you finished them? ME: Now hold on a second,

Senator Bill Cassidy, a doctor, is 1 of only 100 Americans out of over 250 million adult citizens given the consequential responsibility to advise and consent on exec branch nominees. He used that to approve an antivax, anti-science conspiracy theorist as the nation's top public health official.

However cool you think this might be, it's cooler.

double down, you stupid motherfuckers, every car dealership, personal injury firm and local franchise is about to get inundated from the angriest fucking libs you have ever met in your life demanding they stop advertising on sinclair stations

OMG. They’re going to try to cancel GWAR and then start escalating it and like, it will very obviously not work because like, you can’t kill what’s already undead.

Now seems like a fun time to remind everyone that GWAR did an NPR Tiny Desk concert

I say this as someone who has been present for the filming of a GWAR video: this is a fight that LoTT is going to regret picking.

Hey DC our ABC affiliate is owned by Sinclair who said they won’t be carrying it. I’d suggest we all give them a call tomorrow at 703-236-9552 and express our dissatisfaction. Then maybe give a few of the station’s sponsors a call too.

I know we clown strongly worded statements but every medical professional in the US needs to issue one by tomorrow morning saying "we're not following the bullshit guidance of a lifelong antivax activist & his senile boss"

May 5786 be better than 5785. It would be hard for it to be much worse.

I regret to inform you that Gwar has pushed the boundaries of good taste.

The Republican Party is the party of Cranks and Crooks.
