The stadium grift is amazing. Just a bunch of humble, downtrodden billionnaires who are always suddenly short of cash to build more luxury boxes for them and their friends. But at least everyday working people get more heavily taxed.

Good god

My "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out." column has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the column.

that Maples quote, god DAMN

I wonder how much white Dem “thinkers” - who, as Bouie says, all seem like suckers for gender insecurity - might turn out differently if they just did more camping/survival shit during their youth. This is a very PNW idea, but maybe you don’t fret so much if you can start a fire & build a shelter.

What would be great is if Dem members in multiple states showed up at multiple ICE facilities at 10 a.m. tomorrow armed with this injunction.

Just a little reminder to all the high minded journalists out there who like to write *about* Trump, reading the tea leaves of his motives...

We need the LLC gang to stop falling for the okey doke.

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke

This would be a very good moment for Democratic leaders to increase the political salience of unnecessary wars

i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

FORBES: “The Gun Murder Rate In Australia—Where 15 Were Slain At Bondi Beach—Is 6,000% Lower Than In U.S…” www.forbes.com/sites/zachar...

BREAKING The Mayor of Providence says that the person of interest in the Brown University shooting is being released. This means the killer is still at large.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

This entire weekend

ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.

Having a car that told me the speed limit, very forcefully, every time it changed on my (privileged, fortunate) trip to Italy this summer I can say the number one issue with this concept is the sudden, seemingly arbitrary and abrupt speed changes. This will cause so, so many accidents.

Dear Portland Public Schools...

As of today, the only person in this Daily Penn visual that hasn't been fined millions of dollars or convicted of a felony is Luigi Mangione, believe it or not

In some of the least surprising, but most delightful, news of the day...

Jerome Powell revealed that staffers at the Fed think the government could be overestimating the number of jobs created by 60,000 each month. The true numbers could be closer to a loss of 20,000 jobs a month. trib.al/3m2ZShR

Conservatives have their own "gender ideology" they are pushing constantly, and it's one that's built on coercion and treating women like property.

A perfect example of how AI boosters want to make people simulacrums so they can charge them a fee to be themselves. Altman wants to replace Dr. Spock's classic sublime advice—"Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do."—with total reliance on his expensive stochastic parrot.

This report should have panicked everyone on the left into concerted, coordinated effort to address the information asymmetry. But as far as I can tell it just came & went & Dems are still in "buy TV ads about affordability" mode.

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

Donald Trump has unilaterally decided that one of America's largest media companies must be sold to one of his cronies. Here's why America has a liberal media bias problem.

"The woman, a U.S. citizen who was born in Edina Minnesota, was zip-tied when she was detained near Nicollet Mall..." www.fox9.com/news/u-s-cit...

"'They all were scared, crying... they were pointing with the guns not to move,' he said. He said all four are U.S. citizens..." www.kare11.com/article/news...

This is what will never stop killing me: we’re destroying the American system and state to hand unprecedented power to THIS GUY, the most manifestly lawless, corrupt, unfit President in history.

This kind of post is why Bluesky is insufferable. A woman went digging, found an article, shared everything she found fascinating about it while crediting the author multiple times and creating a bunch of new fascinated readers for that article. The author thanked her. But here? Joyless scolding.

The 2028 Dem nominee for POTUS really needs an old school fire-and-brimstone anti-corruption platform

My Spotify Wrapped age is 18* I'm not sure how much I should be insulted? (*it was obviously confused between the songs I play for me and the songs I play for my kid)

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

I hate it but it's also just the cutest?

THRILLED!

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.

"This movie about the spread of toxic masculinity, and fighting back against it, was too subtle for us to notice it was about toxic masculinity"

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

A+ headline work from the AP apnews.com/article/dona...

The administration's foreign policy is to performatively murder the weak and defenseless to distract from the fact that it is abandoning U.S. strategic interests worldwide.

Blow up the competitor to benefit the regime that is paying you?

The Museum of Defunct Tech Merch seems like such a perfect SF-in-a-downturn art project - installed in an empty storefront without permission, of course.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

Pointing out that something is incorrect definitely isn't sufficient - the *culture* of "it is bad to make incorrect statements, good to promptly and clearly retract and apologize for them, and disqualifying to keep making them deliberately" is the framework needed for fact-checking to plug into.

“Kill them all” or “fucking kill them all” is oftentimes a depressingly accurate way to summarize the actions and ambitions of Trump’s second presidency thus far.

I have no desire to know more about this than what is in this post. However, it occurs to me that Nuzzi, HouseinHabit and their LA crew are part of a growing tribe of "Journalists" Who Got Totally Played By Their Subject's PR Team To The Point Of Psychosis.

Capitalism is so smart cuz if u have lots of disposable income, u hardly ever have to see ads but if u can only afford a $8 Netflix subscription boy does Chanel at Sephora have deals 4 u and your no money
