Ideologically mixed parties work with a strong executive (See: WW2-1990s) Ideologically separated parties only work if Congress runs the government and treat the executive branch like its employees.

Deeply thankful to this bonkers Spurs-Thunder series for keeping me from devoting any brain space to whatever the Cubs might or might not be up to this week.

holy fucking shit stephon castle

18 Sunday afternoons per year does not a profitable network make.

evergreen

congrats to the chunk of good Arsenal fans I know in my life get fucked City, don't let the 115 doors and charges hit you on the way out Pep

Excellent point. And also (though this is shifting with more indoor/retractable stadiums) it is almost by definition a pleasant day to be hanging out outside if they’re playing baseball. They basically made “if you’re cold, they’re cold” the standard, just with precipitation.

Would absolutely reform like a T-1000 within seconds and drop at 34-footer in your face.

It’s Game 1 you freaks. Maybe tone it down a bit. Try-hards.

If our GA Senate delegation collectively has the highest VORP of any Dem politician (and they do), Polis has to be the lowest by a fair margin.

I really cannot understand why so many people to the left of center are so weak like this.

unfurling a "white replacement" banner should get you permabanned from MLB stadiums

Useful data for my pet theory that we should just slice states into equal-population slices with straight lines and let the chips fall where they may.

the overwhelming message the AI industry has sent to young people is “this will ruin any chance you have at a stable career”, of course college grads are booing it regardless of the reality of the claims, the way this technology has been sold is one of the greatest self-inflicted PR disasters ever

Bear Down.

5000 troops plus misc extra Feds is basically one extra cop per 120 DC residents in what is already one of the most policed spots in the country

Just leaving this here for any interested Coloradoans who may wander by:

The reason people keep doing crimes for Trump is that you get rewarded for doing them, congratulations to Colorado's Dem governor for making sure we get more people trying to overturn elections on his behalf bsky.app/profile/kyle...

No closer to Champions League qualification, but at least we are one day closer to being able to forget this entire godforsaken season ever happened.

I’m sorry but “everyone is going to use AI to code their own apps” sounds like “everyone is going to learn HTML and code their own websites.“ like … have you met people? no they’re not

That cul-de-sac knows what it did. It got the message.

So, the WaPo podcasts: A) A bit; B) Active subtrigfuge by off camera staff; C) The internet’s final gift to us before it all falls apart; or D) proof that none of these people has ever once interacted with a normal human being.

this truly is the thing that makes the united states exceptional, and right wingers hate it so much they want to destroy it

This is actually a really tedious talking point that I'm sick of hearing so I want to break it down for everyone WA: Need a supermajority to change constitution, possible for '28 OR: Need a supermajority to prevent quorum bust, possible for '28 CO: Need voters to repeal commission, possible for '28

it’s cool how this used to be the newspaper that broke watergate

"If she has her own house, what will she need me for?" I don't know, dude, maybe be cool and fun to be around and be happy for her success instead being whiny little sad-ass troll about it? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Let this radicalize you

Good morning. I profiled Amy Wallace, the only sibling of David Foster Wallace. I don't think you need to know much about David (or his work) to understand how his sister saw him — and how he loved her.

Slightly increase a band TV on the Television

A couple incoming leaders are bound to recognize that Congress is hated because they do nothing, and will learn that a muscular Congress that treats the executive branch like its employee is a good recruitment and retention tool.

Brian Kelly: we have the most hateable coach in the country. This sucks. Lane Kiffin: we have the most hateable coach in the country. This rules.

sure hantavirus might be hard to spread but I feel like this administration's CDC might take that as a challenge

Rez (2002, United Game Artists)

what if I could buy a car from the people who make cars

Nothing like seeing a new hole in the Spirit Airlines vibes category and RACING to degrade your brand down to that level.

I watched the video of this editorial and it's even more sinister than it appears this bitch is advocating for firing more unionized transit workers to decrease DC's spend on WMATA, compares DC's system to Berlin's repeatedly with 0 context and calls the law protecting transit workers "archaic"

Liverpool may be desperate to stick with Arne Slot, but that stance won't withstand the Anfield crowd turning against him. Today felt like that - these fans are just sick of watching a passive, toothless brand of football they have seen for over a year now.

Come on the whole summer rules! May - September it’s the best city in America.

God: in my book I created the golden calf as a cautionary tale American evangelical pastors: let me be clear, this is not the golden calf from the book Don't Worship The Golden Calf

And since they could have made this obnoxious decision prior to voting, they should be responsible for compensating for not only the direct election costs, but also the costs of shutting down schools across the state on short notice and forcing thousands of parents to scramble and take off work.

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

I don’t think Americans with hypertension and various other treatable conditions deserve to die. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

How was this something that they didn’t harmonize?

A huge thing to the credit of Ted Turner: he was widely criticized for his dumb and stupid classic movie colorization scheme and instead of doubling down and crashing out over the negative publicity, he listened to the criticism and launched Turner Classic Movies.

DAWKINS: You idiots believe in God? ALSO DAWKINS: The Computer is alive. And it’s also my girlfriend

#CUBS WIN AGAIN 🥳 🥳 7️⃣ in a row!!

Whoops

Oh, the people who blow up ships are the bad guys? Huh.

I need Gotham to worry about more important things, like their home game attendance.
