JD is going to perform the Last Rites on Mitch and then get in a Twitter beef with Leo about it

This is a revealing piece, the author is Carlos Lozano, a Dumb Centrist type prone to obfuscation and false equivalencies. That he feels comfortable going straight at JD here does not portend well for the VP. Elite media looked past all of these red flags previously. The shine appears to be off

They pulled the goalie lol

Whole Toronto bullpen writes ”God Save the King” on their hats.

i would very much rather the national guard not be in DC but you do have to admit the photo with both creates a funny contrast between who in this country LARPs as a troop and who actually enlists

And that brings us to the Ozarks

Counter-point, Jon Chait /specifically/ should have to endure this

Me returning from France:

This is Wilco erasure

look at this, kapler’s lost the clubhouse!

Lazy foggy Sunday morning music. Released 50 years ago and my cover shows it. The vinyl plays pristinely though

Vitello thinks Pedro Martinez is the MLB commissioner

Thought we were doing IL primary discourse again for a minute there

new law school grads:

Reminds me of a (well paid) pharmacist/union president in a labor contract negotiation who attempted to make a point about the impact of inflation. He decided to go with “the cost of roast duck” as his benchmark. It was uhhh not persuasive to the other party

every time this happens it gets a little bit harder for me to avoid full blown blackpilled nihilistic rooting for a stock market crash

Autobahn, they released one album in the late 70s. Their music is an earth techno pop. They also engage in the occasional kidnapping for hire

You can actually drop in a lot of the social and cultural norms of the average Baby Boomer’s life into this construction - economic mobility, income distribution, union density, affordable and accessible higher ed and housing, public funded science… It was all a delicate bubble

Too many what nows??? (Snark about candidate quality aside, Doug is correct)

Tungsten Arm O’Doyle assed post

We should have learned our lesson after PTI and Around the Horn convinced local sports columnists they could be create A Brand and Be Important Have we learned nothing from the scourge of Woodys Paige and Bobs Ryan unleashed upon our once great nation?

Niche post but this is a perfect encapsulation of what I’ll call the Family Trap that ultimately killed Jerry Garcia and which Phish pivoted to avoid when they reunited in 2009. In this manner, Red Light Management is good, actually

I re-read Jane Mayer’s Dark Money a few years back and if there’s one lesson from that book, this is it. Confiscatory taxes are essential to protect republican government.

Explodes the second you connect it to your Cybertruck

That’s the good stuff right there

Gavin Newsom prints MapQuest directions

“Well, well, well. It’s not so easy to find a governor that doesn’t suck shit after all, huh?”

Some of us were pointing out that Jared Polis was a moron who shouldn’t be anywhere near electoral politics in 2006 but the Dem party apparatus in CO loves business friendly centrists, especially rich ones

Ignite AI

Cardinals / A’s in Sacramento #stlcards

Why is the A’s tv broadcast Statcast graphic Camden Yards??

The New Yorker as a whole just kind of sucks and has for awhile. I have an apparently in-cancellable subscription but I rarely read any of the feature articles. I don’t need 10,000 words profiles of weird right wing freaks or this chum for anxious upper middle class parents

Steven Pinker looks like shit

Spending hours a week talking to Tyler Austin Harper is not doing Jay Kang any favors

Current pace of play is great for television viewing and sucks in person. Go get a beer and you miss half an inning, at least

"You're laughing. All of the insane Gulf petrostate dictators are getting their dicks smashed in the car door repeatedly by the idiot THEY SPECIFICALLY bribed at every turn to act in their interests but he's a fucking moron and so it's Car Door Time, Forever, and you're laughing" remains in effect!

Rousseau’s grave goes kinda hard

Self-described immigration policy wonk, new republic affiliated and lecturer at NYU in successive posts demonstrates that he 1. doesn’t know how congress works 2. isn’t aware of the state of negotiations over Trump’s immigration forces Incredible

filling out a j card would fix me

Caught Mary Halvorson: Canis Major in Berkeley last night. Great to hear her playing her original compositions. A touch more melodic than the usual avant-garde stuff she plays with Zorn et al. They even played a ballad! Band is David AdewumI, Henry Fraser and Tomas Fujiwara

When the other viziers get got, the relief they are gone is quickly overtaken by the knowledge the next one will be worse. It’s an Iron Law of Trump’s two terms. But I don’t think thats the case here. He’s a psycho, yes – but he‘s a skilled bureaucratic operator. And I think that cupboard is bare

Tyler Austin Harper bait

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.
