even the democratic consultants are evaluating the democratic party according to the caricatures put out by republican-aligned media

*with grim, resigned determination* Baseball.

wait wait I can make this stat stupider: there have only been 2 World Series games this long. They were both game 3, both dodgers, both at home, both won by a walk off home run from a white guy whose name is an alliteration

support whomever you’d like, but what is frustratingly dishonest about this take is that actual issue — the thing critics have identified as the problem — isn’t the decision of the 21-year old to get the tattoo, but of the judgment of the 40-year old who still has it.

according to @stathead.com a batter has had at least 12 total bases in a playoff game 17 times in baseball history. two of them are shohei tonight and shohei 10 days ago

would personally love to know what justice gorsuch thinks about this

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

dickerson is one of the best broadcast journalists in the game, and someone who would clearly be a real asset to a new leader interested in strengthening the network's journalism. but, of course, we know weiss isn't actually interested in journalism as such.

If someone wanted to harm USA agriculture they'd do 5 things. 1. Deport labor, make work in USA inhospitable 2. Start tariff wars that end US commodity crop exports 3. Fire experts in transmissible livestock disease 4. Invite/subsidize foreign meat competition 5. Tell farmers how much I love them.

Putting aside the fact there are about 10 stars missing from the AI generated flag. The Trump tariffs have been directly responsible for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch seeing a price increase in the US. Not sure how that's "Power to the Players".

Heartened by the return of one of the classic Trump bits, which is when he sways faintly and says "I'd like to see low IQ [person of color he saw on TV] try to pass the test that's regularly administered to me by medical professionals, the famous unbeatable Test To Determine Extent Of Brain Trauma,"

They're going to change the clocks this weekend and the president is powerless to stop it. Because he's weak and a loser. That's what they're saying sir

We actually need more corruption. If everyone is doing corruption then according to free market principles the best corruption will rise to the top

give it as an exclusive to the wall street journal, suddenly it goes from a horror story to a kink.

there is something genuinely wrong with rightwingers, their entire base line of their entire political project on every level is making sure people are suffering and take joy in that

Jack Schlossberg, JFK's grandson, Caroline's son, posted this photo. I strongly recommend following him, "jackuno." So much of this gorgeous photo, bulldozed & covered with slabs of concrete. Soulless. Empty. This photo is all about life, color, beauty, promise. Now bulldozed & drowned in cement.

they say stuff like this and you realize, they believe women just fine. they just don't care when we're hurt and think men should be allowed to paw at whomever they want without consequence.

The ex-prosecutor also said this: “I have a lot of close contacts in law enforcement, and almost to a person, none of them support these actions. As a lawyer, someone who adamantly believes in the rule of law, watching it in open sight in front of my house just be completely eroded…it’s upsetting.”

This is a DC area food bank that has helped laid off and unpaid government workers. They need help. If you have a few bucks to spare consider this charity. www.capitalareafoodbank.org?utm_referrer...

How embarrassing to work for the organized kidnapping ring known as "ICE." Rolling out of bed every day to be a brainless goon. You are lower than a worm to me

Thinking a lot recently about the outrage over Lizzo playing James Madison's flute

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

it's weird we've gone from "taking bribes is bad" to "it would be insane NOT to take this bribe" -- but i trust that a society run on principles like this can function!

NEW: NBC News confirms that the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, on the east side of the White House, has been destroyed as part of the demolition of the East Wing. (📸 Getty Images)

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

Truth 👇👇👇 it really is that simple.

Trump pardoning the guy who helped boost his family's crypto scheme is par for the course, but we can’t look away. He’s abusing his power again and again to enrich himself and his family. The most corrupt president in history — and it’s not even close.

the elite class becomes easier to understand when you realize they think everybody is as dumb as they are

we simply do not talk enough about how much of modern capitalism has pivoted away from providing goods and services in exchange for money and into inconveniencing and harassing people with fees, surcharges, and delayed invoicing for long enough that they give you money just to make it stop

Prince's sound checks were better than most concerts.

people chant "we stand with you!" as Letitia James tries to speak outside a courthouse in Virginia

Just a reminder…every day is #NoKings day.😊 🚫👑

to keep functioning a society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

me explaining to my boss why I haven't contributed to the google doc:

Struck me at the end of Trump's first term, post-impeachment, that even when he got bipartisan support (like for CARES) he didn't invite Dems to the bill signing. I think about this bc there's a kneejerk political media instinct to ask Dems how they'll unify the country and it's getting very silly.

i know at a minimum 4 people that have gotten laid off in the last 3 months, all completely unrelated to performance issues, doesn’t seem good. can’t say i’ve seen something like this in my entire post-college life

dislike the current president. think he's bad. does bad things.

Oyster man discourse feels kind of played out, but I think it’s interesting how BlueSky and the other place are different worlds. Several progressive commentators have shown their butt on the other site today, crickets from them over here.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

The last time Andrés Fernando Tufiño Chila’s sister heard from him was about a year ago when he told her he was heading out to fish for work, she said. Last week, she was shocked to learn that her brother was aboard an alleged drug vessel that was struck by the US military. https://cnn.it/476VoB7

This East Wing demolition isn’t being done unilaterally at the whim of the child rapist in the Oval. It is with the blessing of the bootlicking 119th US Congress.

Also: Dem leadership HAVE to do more to talk about this. It's not just an abstract symbol; he's desecrating the East Wing so he can dominate history for sport. Make people feel that loss.
