Idk if anyone’s shared this here yet, but… yall gotta hear Forslund’s call 😭

I saw a reel this morning about the football stadiums replacing artificial turf with natural grass for the World Cup and that the grass in MetLife (where the WC final will be played) was grown in North Carolina. You know what that means...calling @ncrabbithole.com !!

DJTJ's wedding is in the Bahamas. International Presidential travel, even a trip that short, would have been weeks in preparation. Orange Julius was never planning on going. It's not some last-minute situation that requires his presence in DC.

I'm old enough to remember when an 80 year-old president's hand wasn't a rotting necrosis

You mean vee-gan? What the hell is a vay-gan? Did he star in a movie with Jodie Foster? (If you get this reference, you're my kind of nerd)

Also known as "Trans-tifa" 🙄

Also McMahon keeps saying "FASFA" instead of "FAFSA" and it is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

The alt text from @atrupar.com has me 💀

Mike and Tripp's call of the game winner. #SoundTheSiren

But will they still be in their seats in OT after an apparent game-winning goal has been waved off I've been told THAT'S the measure of *true* fan dedication

An OT game like that, outshot in the extra period…I’ll say it again: The Hurricanes have become the kind of team they always used to lose to.

I'll bet my mortgage he doesn't read any of the words in red.

Quote post with something good that lasted longer than the Confederacy (1861-1865) New Coke (1985-1992)

It's incredibly exhausting to live in an entire unit of a US History course in the year 2072

One of these men gets paid an exorbitant amount of money to be a gimmick in his sport. The other guy owns the Savannah Bananas.

Malone's comments about Hubert Davis were an absolute masterclass in how to address a situation like this. Classy and spoken with the experience of someone who has been on the other side of being fired. Just more proof that he "gets it".

What I'm not seeing in the reporting on the Tommy Lloyd/UNC situation: why did Arizona do on Friday what they weren't willing to do on Thursday: make it so Lloyd doesn't have to report to the AD? They must have believed he was out the door to Chapel Hill without that.

Your periodic reminder that evangelicals and white Christian nationalists do not consider Catholics as "Christian" Which is gonna be a real problem for JD Vance in 2028 BTW (and probably not help sales of his new book)

Need to fact check this with @timmiller.bsky.social as to the safety of the Mardigraboo

That was the whole point. Break it, know it was illegal when you did it, by the time the courts rule it was illegal, the thing stays broken. See also, East Wing of the White House Same thing coming on mail-in voting BTW

Hubert to Scheyer

Something was driving me crazy about this season of "The Pitt" and I finally figured it out. I can't not see it now.

Sean makes a great point, but multiple things can be true. The other 2 years degrade the confidence in the long-term ability to get the job done. Indicative of the inconsistency that has defined his tenure.

Workshopping things people are going to say about him when the hamburger from heaven finally does its job

Wait the Tim Robinson skit happened IRL and I missed it? www.newsobserver.com/news/state/n...

I love mets and respect the complexity of their work. But this was a big miss, on the heels of a massive miss with the ice storm. As someone who used to make school decisions based on forecasts, mets aren't alone in catching hell when they're wrong. Maybe more empathy and education and less snark?

Michael Whatley rehabilitation operation engaged. Now that he's the Senate nominee, they're going to try to take some heat off his record as NC FEMA czar by throwing Noem under the bus.

If you are the person who hangs the Happy Birthday James Taylor banner on the James Taylor Bridge every year, please email us.

Jonathan Karl posted on IG that he has Trump's phone number and journos can just call him up and he'll talk. Karl talked to Trump yesterday while he was posting the Noem firing on social media. Can we talk about how bat💩 crazy that is? We have to since the journos won't because they want the access

Shenanigans commencing. Maybe I should have said "commenncing"

Gas is up 50 cents since Saturday. The one station in my town with gas under $3 is down to one pump and a line around the block. So. Much. Winning. The winning hurts, please make it stop.

Careful. Not sure her vote re: NC sheriffs and ICE was *the* defining issue. Her hateful speech during that vote was also a problem, but IMO *the* defining issue was unreliably voting with the governor in a near supermajority. All 3 unreliable D reps went down and ICE wasn't an issue with other 2.

Wait, you're saying the results of an election can flip after election night? *laughs in Allison Riggs*

You misspelled "the direction of the State of North Carolina" but yeah. Wonder what the "you should know election results by 11pm on Election Night" folks are thinking now?

This should be a slam dunk for Dems on the Sunday shows. FEMA response is limited and travel is impacted so masked paramilitary goons can abduct citizens and non-citizens alike with impunity and beyond the norms of regular law enforcement. Since it's so easy, I'm sure they'll blow it.

Your periodic reminder that, despite his apparent lame-duck spine locating, you do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Thom Tillis.

Happy Pitchers and Catchers Report Day to all who celebrate!

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Painful to think how much of this tracks back to Mango Unchained being too vain to wear a mask because it smeared his orange makeup. Opposition to mask mandates led to opposition to vax mandates which led us to welcoming back preventable diseases.

You know we could have had a country where the good guys didn't have to wear a vest to distinguish themselves from the secret police but the black lady had a weird laugh so whaddya gonna do? 🙄

What does it say when we have to have a social media thread on "how to identify the different types of secret police"

His base knows the economy stinks and he's probably off his rocker but they couldn't care less because black and brown folks are having a bad time and they can say "ret@rd" again. That's the world they love.

Google Maps often provides some fun pronounciations. The Google Maps lady says Mebane as "muh-BIN" but I just asked the Google assistant (different voice) who pronounced it "ME-BAYN"

Challenge: find an example that does not include "Fuquay-Varina"

Not going to link to the video. You can find it and see for yourself. The car was stopped. The "cop" who shot her literally stepped aside as he fired his first shot then fired twice more into her open window as she attempted to drive past him. Do not believe when DHS says "self-defense".

The whole damn final episode went hard: Hawkeye and the chicken, Charles and the band, BJ and Hawk saluting Potter. But as for an actual *ending* scene that becomes the lasting image of a series, this is the 🐐
