If nothing else, we’ve stumbled our way into understanding the Trump Doctrine. It combines amorality and incompetence to empower enemies and betray allies, as it dilutes American power in a Dunning-Kruger stew of bluster, arrogance, and stupidity. managingeditor.substack.com/p/memorandum...

History will do the same. www.wired.com/story/trump-...

Meanwhile, back in decent America... www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jPZ...

The only wars Trump ever wins are on Americans.

I’m a season ticket holder and I turn the channel whenever one of the Giants’ Phobic Four takes the mound. The team can’t ignore the fans and the Pride Day controversy. #sfgiants

Sexting While Married. “Hey.” “Hey.” “What are you wearing?” “Oh, that reminds me. Any packages come for me today?”

The art of the dipshit.

Trump won. We don't have to be decent to each other anymore. Fuck that. You sold your soul. We didn't.

The world has the beautiful game while America creates an ugly spectacle.

In terms of lives, dollars, and reputation, Trump’s tearing up of the old Iran agreement will go down as the most expensive tantrum in American history.

During their playoff run, the Knicks went 15 and Trump.

FIFA referees always see the exact opposite of what actually happened. They must train by watching Fox News.

these assholes didn't deserve this many words written about them

Edward Luce in the Financial Times about Musk:

That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for the Manosphere. This message just in from Ground Control to Major Elon: Rocket Man became Deep Pocket Man. managingeditor.substack.com/p/houston-we...

There’s nothing like a June night in New York when Trump’s not there.

Holy shit. Even Bluesky is into sports right now.

If you hear the Walgreens hold music in real life, it means you’re about to be murdered (after the four people ahead of you are murdered).

Close Encounters of the Third Reich.

Trump didn't curse the Knicks. He cursed the world and the Knicks are part of the world.

Knicks win 13 straight. Trump shows up. Knicks lose. The Curse of the Babyno.

James Dolan got the Sphere to come to MSG.

It makes sense that the signature event of the country’s 250th birthday is a UFC fight. What could better define today’s United States than enraged, veiny-necked, mouth-breathing Americans beating the hell out of each other in a cage of our own making? managingeditor.substack.com/p/all-the-wo...

The best NBA Finals bet is that Trump will cancel his attendance. He’ll say it’s because of Iran. It will be because of the inevitable booing.

Trump is going to ruin an NBA playoff game to warm up for ruining the World Cup and then ruining the Olympics.

Sascha Zverev overcame the hurdles and is no longer the greatest player never to win a major. He's now the greatest player never to win two majors.

Even if longevity bros cure death, I won’t live long enough to understand how any American could see this lying baby as a president .

After 250 years, we have achieved America’s saddest headline.

Scott Pelley’s exit letter describes destruction, falsehoods, the collapse of values, disappearing principles, and a prayer for sanity, competence, and courage to return. The 60 Minutes crisis is a metaphor for the broader American story? In both cases, the clock is ticking.

If the 2026 time capsule could only include one headline... awfulannouncing.com/ufc/joe-roga...

“The ideal leader of a hard-hitting investigative journalism operation is someone who is smart, driven, and virtually unemployable in any other context due to their pathological hatred of the corporate niceties used to obscure the lies of the rich and powerful.” www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/if-you-tak...

Tired: The art of the deal. Wired: The craft of the graft. www.propublica.org/article/dona...

A predator is using the power of our justice system to further target one of his sexual assault victims. And not a single person thinks that move will even dent his support among GOP leaders.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to. apnews.com/article/ufc-...

Imbeciles following assholes is quite the brand.

GOP hole, meet your shovel.

The deal calls for Trump to leave the regime in power, give them new control over the Strait, and be left with a nuclear deal weaker than the one he tore up. The Iranians have to attend Don Jr’s wedding . Historians are calling it a draw.

A lot of people know the feeling. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/23/w...

Now we know what even Pam Bondi wouldn't do.

Trump’s remarkable hold on the GOP will likely cost them in the general election. But it is horrifying nonetheless.

Did James Talarico just win the Senate race in Texas? www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

What would happen if you gave a criminal defendant and his attorney control of the most powerful government in the world? In America, that was a rhetorical question for about 250 years. open.substack.com/pub/managing...

Mark Cuban stands behind Trump as Trump speaks on behalf of stealing from taxpayers. This is why you don't go to the White House to do events with Trump -- you end up disgracing yourself.

All that indie creativity has been sucked into giant database farms, where it gets regurgitated as bulleted outlines. The internet empowered. AI is overpowering. managingeditor.substack.com/p/the-machin...

The next season of Survivor should be filmed on a cruise ship.

Worst case scenario for a social media attention addict. Re-runs.

The midterms are shaping up to be a race between Trump's sucking and Scotus's cheating.

It's not complicated. From self-dealing, to international backroom deals, to rigging elections, to expensive wars, to pardons for sale, to ballrooms and statues and everything else... Tie the administration's corruption to the economic hardship individuals are feeling. Over and over and over.

At this point. I only watch Giants games to interrupt the Tom Steyer ads.
