I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

stay tuned

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

That was the most fun I’ve had watching baseball since I was a kid. Good on ya, MLB.

Gotta love a Jeff Tweedy concert cause he blows your brains out for a few hours and you’re still home by 10:45. That’s the way it’s meant to be.

So friggin true.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

Learning in the same week that both Norae and Hilltop are closing has me feeling some kind of way.

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

I’m a little stunned at how much I enjoyed the Billy Joel documentary on HBO. Five plus hours over two parts seemed absurd and by the end I was sad it was over and would gladly watched five more hours.

KEXP just played T-Pain covering War Pigs and I'm obligated to share it with you, here's T-Pain covering War Pigs and it fucking rips

If you refuse to endorse the overwhelmingly popular Democratic nominee for mayor of America's largest city, you should not be leading Democrats in the U.S. House

We've been doing this for five years. How are people still managing to unknowingly unmute themselves on Zoom calls?

Steve Miller Band - The Joker. Lord, I hate that song.

Off the top of me head...in no order: My Morning Jacket - Z Wilco - A Ghost is Born The Strokes - Is This It? Courtney Barnett - Sometimes I Sit… Outkast - Stankonia Avett Brothers - Emotionalism Jason Isbell - Southeastern The National - The Boxer The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow Dr. Dog - Fate

This is a solid, solid list.

New Action Cookbook Newsletter! My oldest turned 10 this weekend, and that's a big milestone for him--but it's one for me, too! I've been a Dad (literal, not just spiritual) for a decade now, and I've learned a few things along the way. Here's a few. actioncookbook.substack.com/p/ten-things...

Imagine being part of a floundering political establishment at historic lows in favorability, seeing this guy's absolutely infectuous energy, and deciding to try to stop it through an array of embarrassing media appearances and editorial blunders.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way. ysaatio.fi/en/news/home...

Yes, Finland had solved the homelessness problem. But then, a bunch of right wing politicians gained power and decided that they don’t want that kind of wellbeing anymore, it doesn’t fit to their idea of society.

I love that the morally and ethically correct approach to most issues is so so SO many times also the economically correct one and STILL we actively go "no we aint gonna do that" for no reason accept distaste for those less fortunate than us

I was outside for approx 12 mins this morning to drop my kids off at a summer camp. The amount of sweat that poured off of my body in that short amount of time is truly absurd and disgusting. I guess I'll go outside again in October.

Inside The NBA is the best sports show that has ever existed and i am sad that it’s over but so very thankful that it existed

Thanks Ernie, Kenny, Chuck, Shaq and crew for all the years of fun. Glad it’s moving to ESPN, but know it won’t quite be the same. NBA on TNT forever! 🏀❤️🏀

When people ask what my plans are for the long weekend…

How do you feel about frilly toothpicks?

Great job Louisvillians! Always exciting when good ol' public pressure earns a win. Now let's keep the momentum and get some other stuff done! LMPD and the consent decree would be a great place to start.

My main takeaway from this week’s The Last of Us is post-apocalyptic Jackson Hole, WY has a better health care system than the current United States

I’ll never understand how anyone can talk trash about LeBron James.

I've started keeping a list of things that have occurred that make me feel like I'm becoming a Boomer. Refusal to learn new technology, asking a restaurant to turn down music, etc. My phone just rang...out loud...while at a training/presentation where there were like 100 people. I'm cooked.

As a Louisville basketball fan, let me tell you, when they start breaking out the "for the first time since" anything close to WWII stats, you are in the ditch.

Hey @norlander.bsky.social, we getting an update of this article this year? Give the people what they want!

As someone who was formerly homeless, I wish more countries were like this. When you're homeless, it's impossible to get back on your feet without somewhere stable to live. Otherwise, you spend every moment of every day just trying to survive.

I’m not sure why we even play the games.

it doesn't matter if the CR was bad or anywhere near good; as long as lawlessnes reigns supreme in Washington you don't vote for a single GOP bill or a single GOP nominee, why is this so fuckin' hard to understand

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invested €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

MORE! Anderson Cooper: So it's more expensive to allow a chronically homeless person to live on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them? Answer: Yes, we are paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street & do nothing… www.cbsnews.com/news/100000-...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

remember how Wile E. Coyote used to hold up a little sign saying ‘help’ or ‘oh no’ or some such just before the huge boulder crushed him

CHUCKY

Public transportation - from the "international airport" - in Louisville, Kentucky

I need you to prove you're not wasting taxpayer dollars doing pointless busywork by doing this thing i just admitted was pointless busywork

I didn’t think I could love Chucky, PK or this team more than I already did…. I was wrong.

Eric I’m sorry but you have to go to jail

Serena Williams was on the field longer today than Harrison Butker.

Drake is the all-time biggest loser of a rap feud and that includes people who have gotten shot and died as a result of rap feuds

Lamar voters stayed home.
