Live look at the reflecting pool. Turns out the algae is methane-based.

Classic Trump: 1. Invent a problem that doesn’t exist 2. Come up with a batshit solution 3. No one tells him ‘no’ 4. Batshit solution creates a real problem 5. Blame everyone else for it

I do like the idea that people keep going “why do movie studios keep making sequels like Toy Story 5?!” and the answer is because they make gobs of money.

I gotta say, the architecture of the new Obama library is really impressive

Price is Right showcase showdown but it’s just the Trump admin continuously offering the Iranian regime more and more

Iran negotiating with Trump and Vance

Midterm polling must be going great

Live look in at Vance being told by Trump and the cabinet that he’s going to be the fall guy for the Iran MOU

KAITLAN COLLINS: Are you okay with Iran having missiles? SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: I prefer that they not, but they have to defend themselves COLLINS: You think Iran needs to be able to defend itself? MARSHALL: I do, otherwise we turn this into a forever war

Hey look at that

What we have here is a failure to ameliorate

Turns out “strategy is for pussies” is not an effective war plan

Damn those boyars for ruining things for the tsar!

Reposting this because lol

Is this anything? A World Cup of 48 teams going into 8 groups of 6 teams each. Two groups play each day for a total of six games per day and there’s four days between each team’s games. Winner of each group advances to the round of 16 while second and third place teams advance to a play-in round.

I know it’s a “Lucy pulls the football away from Charlie Brown again” thing at this point, but I really do feel like the Iran deal is shaping up to be for Trump what the immigration reform bill was for George W Bush, where the right wing turns on him and decides to just ignore him for two more years

Netanyahu making a bargain with US evangelicals even though those same evangelicals believe Israel has to be destroyed as part of the end times is some ultimate scorpion vs scorpion face-off

The only thing I know about the Stanley Cup is that one of the winning players gets to kiss his boyfriend on the ice at the end, correct?

Pretty amazing that Trump is doing “I’m a special birthday boi” to avoid GOP criticism of the Iran deal

Having family visit is fun because within 24 hours it goes from “we’re so happy to see you” to “so when are you all going home?”

Andres Cantor covering his TENTH World Cup at only age 63 is breaking my brain.

I got an ad today for the day in the life of a “sports day trader” and apparently being a degenerate gambler is a respectable profession now.

New high score for myself, but this would be an all-time drama locker room. 😂

“I think it was mostly cheers. It was loud. And it was very enthusiastic.”

Elections are fun because the city I live had a successful first term mayor running for reelection against two really good candidates and I was like “huh that’s weird, I wonder why” and it turns out he cooked his brain on conspiracy theories last year.

Saw a license plate today of “top2pct” and like bro, why you selling yourself short? 😂

Satan figuring out Beezelbub isn’t a trustworthy partner.

It’s not great the whole US strategy against Iran is just to get the special boy to the next weekend without any stress so he can have oiled up men fight in his lawn for his birthday.

The use of “you” shows that Trump doesn’t consider himself an American.

Trump admin: we don’t need to follow establish norms and can do whatever we want Also Trump admin: all future administrations must treat as permanent and irreversible the things we put in place

So a future Dem president can use the same executive powers to order the building of renewable energy and any other infrastructure they want then, right?

Getting a lot of this today:

I’m enjoying Star City so far, but I do have one suggestion:

The United States really be doing “No supply, only demand” with just about everything.

Welp, the company I work for officially had our first “employee that will now be paying taxes to Canada instead of the US because the US wouldn’t renew his work visa.” Guy got his BA and Masters in the US but hey, we’re cutting off our nose to spite our face here.

For those with a renewed interest in why California takes so long to count ballots, here’s a gift article that’s a good explainer. If you guessed a lot of ballots + underfunded state capacity, you’d be right!

The WWE slipping into late-stage WCW and the US slipping into late-stage USSR was not on my bingo card

The best part of the Nightmare Before Christmas is it’s based on an episode of Daria.

I genuinely can’t understand why Mahan didn’t run for Lt Gov, but that tech money is basically getting high on your own supply.

I’m excited for the rest of the country to learn “California has a lot of ballots to count and takes a long time to count them”

This would be a hell of a team to watch play.

I think the US would be a lot better off if voters started voting based on highest floor instead of highest ceiling.

I believe the correct phrase is “whistling past the graveyard”

RAH, IT'S PRIDE MONTH RETWEET TO SCARE A HOMOPHOBE/TRANSPHOBE

The 2028 Dem primary might just be a contest of who can take up Obama’s mantle: copies Obama’s speaking style without any of the substance (Shapiro), melds Obama’s effectiveness at generating soundbites with their own communication style (Ossoff), and the intangibles of Obama’s 2008 campaign (AOC).

"He's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he's gone" is a very good line of attack against Trump.
