i want to give them the dankest weed and watch them all react like maureen dowd

I still don’t understand where the fuck all the defense funding actually goes. It just disappears into a black hole

The dumbest and least informed Americans aren’t even aware it is happening. Seriously, it’s so easy to not know about this stuff. I logged off for a few months and was blissfully unaware of minor stuff like this.

Oh this is one of those observations that’s going to stick with me for a long time

I *really* don't want to be a downer but to me the precursor to Doing is Saying, and not nearly enough of this Party is saying what needs to be said. About punishing the villains, about abolishing billionaires, about ending elite impunity. Too many want to leave the rot but change the branding

If Democrats continue being who they are, 2027-2029 will be a lot of shrugging because they don't have the votes to do anything. We need the presidency. Once we do that we shrug because the Supreme Court won't let us do anything. Then we all wait for the next fascist to come to power

They need an LBJ. But the problem is that the majority of the party is still more concerned about A) keeping the money people happy and B) courting the mythical moderate Republican

I hope I'm wrong but I've settled on the idea that unless the next Democratic president is a generational talent with a sharp focus and an iron will we can pack this whole thing up and go home

Those fire fighting scooper planes

Judge Judy got paid 47 million dollars a year by CBS to star in that trash ass show

Most wars are incredibly stupid unless you think 'it was there and I could take it by killing a bunch of people' is incredibly intelligent stuff

the most thoroughly vindicated man in hollywood. trade disputes and conspiracies ✔️ republic subverted over sex hangups ✔️ “sand people” killed, royalty indifferent ✔️ naive idiot casts vote for tyranny ✔️ villains with silly names like “dooku” ✔️ powerful clerical order screwing up ✔️ list goes on

People like to pretend that Rep Craig Horn was some kind of thoughtful, pro-schools maverick, but without him we wouldn’t have virtual charters, the worst (but most profitable) schools in the state

Somehow I got to today without knowing what TOOTBLAN stood for, and my life is a little bit richer now that I know

WBAL in Baltimore helping viewers understand the difference between watches and warnings

Again:

we gotta stop recruiting guys who like star wars and recruit some guys who like westerns or samurai movies instead

Can’t wait for the State to eminent domain it or raise the taxes to that $22 million dollar valuation so they can’t afford to keep it

Italy's espresso machine has the numbers of everyone who hits a homer on it

Johnny Blue Skies and Kacey Musgraves both releasing horny albums this year? youtu.be/NlohfwTunwU?...

This is for the kids who bought Cliff’s Notes instead of doing the reading

throughout this whole process it’s been interesting and illuminating to see how certain businesses and high profile people talk about both the bill and the state.

the New York press was mean-spirited enough toward Maris in 1961 that it would not shock me one iota if some dummy actually wrote this

4 years 120 mm is not a discount for Hendrickson. They also had a counter bidder (Indianapolis).

It’s entire possible the Ravens got cold feet. But the idea that they woke up and realized late in free agency that Hendrickson would be cheaper makes no sense to me. They also reduced their own leverage in signing him—they were desperate.

April 2025? She knew full fucking well what she was doing. She wasn’t some career attorney stuck in a role she didn’t like. cc @glowlaw.org

The DHS Attorney who had a viral public meltdown in court at the height of the ICE occupation because it was too hard to follow court orders is now running for Congress as, get this, a Democrat. If we can learn what district she is running in, we can ask why she signed up to keep folks detained.

If Washington had passed this law 45 years ago, this whole incident could have been avoided

Earlier I implied that I escorted yo' momma through the Strait of Hormuz. I apologize for the misinformation. Yo' momma's too fat for such a narrow passageway and whatnot.

They tried and failed with the LCS and FFG(X) programs.

It's all three, but there's also something else: weak, atrophied brains. Typos are one thing but elite messages go beyond that, they show an inability to communicate beyond mere urges and feelings, and the reason they can't communicate beyond those is because they can't think through those.

Bad at math? Wildly jumping to conclusions without knowing all the facts? Mark DeRosa might be a bad manager but he’s doing an excellent job representing the United States.

Doulas are so helpful, especially for first time parents. Ours was awesome.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

I can't wait for wearing overlarge shoes to become another sign of devotion to the cult and suddenly everyone's most antisocial uncle is showing up to Thanksgiving wearing Shaq-sized shoes.

Lmao

83 Points for Bam Adebayo is going to go so hard as a sports bar mid-level trivia question for the next 3 decades

7-22 from three is stupid basketball too. I really try not to be a hater and I’m certainly no Kobe fan so I don’t care about it from that standpoint but this was a gross display of “basketball”.

We had a glorious spell of about a decade where the NBA passed the ball on offense. But now we’re back to 1 on 1 constantly. It sucks.

As if WNBA teams needed more reasons to fear A’ja Wilson.

telling my child in 30 years that bam adebayo played against vibe coders and doordashers

83 is a hell if an accomplishment no matter what but 40 free throws is some top tier bullshit that the league needs to fix

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

this gets at the thing that hacked me off about giving kornet what he wanted: it rewards the assertion "the BAD women can't be here, it defiles the PURE women." and i am fed up to my back teeth of white christian men getting to sort women into fake categories of "value."
