"Too late" would be right on time. One of (many) issues Dems need to toughen the hell up on is their reflexive farmer stroking. These welfare queens of the plains want white men in charge and their resulting problem to be solved by taxpayer money. It needs to stop. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/b...

That Gibbs pass, run, and cut back, and then cut back again made me chortle out loud so hard & wake up the family --- it was like the spirit of Dan Dierdorf inhabited my body #lions #nfl

I have heard nothing but good things about Ken Burns' latest, but I really wasn't up for a deep dive into American History during times like these, but then I read this Deadline review Comparing this series in a complimentary way to Van Halen's Fair Warning? #kenburns deadline.com/2025/11/amer...

Thank goodness the #lions are actually wearing their silver pants. It’s Honolulu blue and silver. Two colors! No more pajama monochromatic nonsense.

These NFL coaches are brain dead. Two different chances to go up, late in the 4th, by kicking a simple FG and instead they go for it on 4th and goal get nada. I know both of these teams aren't making the playoffs. Still, play to win the game, not just 'F' it, I'm going for it."

Timberwolves honoring the late legend Prince with their City Edition uniforms and court tonight! All in the details 👀

Michigan wins

Going to Semaj Morgan (still in the game!) on 2 and 10 when you gotta have a positive play is a choice. #cfb

Shout out to my kid's school for gently saying to overachieving parents, re parent/teacher conferences: "Please know school staff is always able to communicate via e-mail/phone. This may be an option to consider if your child is experiencing academic success and you do not have any concerns." 😉

Re: Epstein’s emails

Filed under the category, "Why didn't I know about this?" There is a Mutiny on the Bounty from the 80s with Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Daniel Day-Lewis, Mel Gibson, Liam Neeson, Bernard Hill, and Edward Fox? I'm surprised the ship didn't sink from all the acting awards in the cargo hold.

Finally, the world's least fan-friendly arena rock band is starting to open its archive. Of course, they're starting with "a signed limited edition book boxed set" that likely will cost over $500 a copy, but I guess you have to start somewhere.

"When Siskel and Ebert used their platform to champion a picture that lacked the marketing budget of major studio releases, they single-handedly motivated potential audience members from around the country to see it,” reflects Matt Fagerholm on the 50th Anniversary of SISKEL AND EBERT.

OK, some lawn service is mowing a lawn today! It snowed this week! The lawn doesn't need trimming, Mr. Homeowner. Just stealing money.

In honor of one of my 10 favorite bands of all-time, #soundgarden, making the RRHOF, here is a great song cover by one of the few hardcore punk bands I like, Better Lovers. In true punk style, they fuck up at first, but then rock the hell out of it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC_Y...

"And James Bond, who did NOT die"

There would not have been enough space on the opinion pages of newspapers or segments on cable news to cover the amount of outrage that the media would have directed at Joe Biden if he did not know the standard duration of a home mortgage, but Trump? Crickets.

<Leroy Jenkins voice> DAN-ISS JENNNNKKKINSSSS --- Dude was not even looking for the ball! The first no-look pass to a no-look catch for a game-tying, end of game, shot in league history? Cade, Duren, & the Motor City Cruise pull one out. #nba #pistons

A fine day to remember Jim Harbaugh's unique relationship with "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" and the remarkable interpretive work that his and other football brains have done on this important text.

The CPL Final is in the middle of a snowstorm in Canada, true North American soccer heritage...how could it get any better? HOW ABOUT A FREAKIN' BICYCLE KICK EQUALIZER!!!

Lions should wear the silver pants every week.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

Deandre Hunter just did something extremely rude to Josh Giddey #NBAsky

Lmao that’s how you play it off Duke

Penn State deserves to lose simply bc of bad clock management. They chose to slam the ball into the line on 2nd and 3rd down when a 1st down wins the game. Throw a pass! All an incompletion costs you is giving them 10 secs (which Indiana didn’t need anyway) TO on 1st down offense? Nope.

This rivalry is so intense we got players trying to steal a ball with their shoe.

Dr Oz talking about obesity, diabetes and dementia while Trump is slumped over like a man minutes from death is supremely funny content

Nancy Pelosi announces her retiremen video, and it's posted on X (home of many literal Nazis) but not here @pelosi.house.gov Until Dems get it through their thick skulls that creating a media & comm ecosystem where lib/left voices can thrive & be heard is essential, message fights matter little.

Mamdani is so talented but has such a tough road. NYC has a murder a day—which is amazingly low for a city that size. Yet our massively RW media environment will pick through each & every one and blast out to the masses any that can be leveraged to smear him & try to scare the public.

This lawyer from the Trump administration is struggling mightily. There are just so many avenues to undercut his argument. One I’d like Kagan to ask is, “What emergency do we have w Brazil? We have a trade surplus!” Still think this “at best” will be the result. bsky.app/profile/robp...

I mean, Sherrill ran a campaign that everyone (on here, on Twitter, in media) said sucked. Everyone was nervous. Yet she won by just as much as Spanberger in a tougher environment against a tougher opponent.

Most realistic cop show in history. Great main cast, great rotating troupe of supporting players. Wojo’s character arc from lunkhead bro to bleeding heart vet was amazing. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/a...

Lot of wishcasting political analysis on this app tonight. “This person losing even though they ran on this issue means…” No. People in NJ, VA & NYC — in general — hate Trump. They forgot how bad he was, have been reminded (over and over), and they are getting the f away from that.

Chris Cuomo is trying to grow a mustache. It’s not going well. As a bonus, he looks like he might stroke out by the end of the night.

@thepressbox.bsky.social An all-time for the overused journalism phrase (BTW, we can add Parade Magazine to the zombie "magazine that's now someone how a website" list.)

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Wow, Michigan State just got hosed twice. He pulled his jersey but "didn't impede him"? What the fuck is that? And that last TD was clearly short. Jonathan Smith needs to just lose his shit on these refs and the BIG, and he just doesn't have it in him. He's gone. #cfb

More Democrats should get more combative with the media, in particular by calling out questions that have an unspoken premise of "GOP voters are realer Americans than you," or in this case, "the president can break the law if voters in a city choose a mayor according to their own preferences."

We’re gonna get the gatekeeping of this soon. Like “7-1 teams can’t do this” and “bad teams can do this only” Just have fun in less populated stadium sections lol

This is a fantastic nickname. Start printing the shirts and I'll buy one (keep it to Honolulu Blue & Silver, though -- not Black) . #nfl www.mlive.com/lions/2025/1...

Can someone explain why the US Postal Service charges a 50% markup on postage stamps if you buy them through Amazon? Not something I've ever done, but was browsing and thought of adding some stamps to the cart. These cost $1.07/stamp at usps.com to buy them; yet they're $1.57/stamp here.

This a well-reported, small time news story. This woman doesn't "condone" her husband's beliefs, but she doesn't condemn them either. Real-life example of, Which views, exactly? "Libertarian" council member: Oh, you know the ones www.mlive.com/news/2025/10...

Policymakers are stuck in a 1960s view of economic hardship, where poverty (and program eligibility) comes from lack of employment. We have 70 years of evidence: bad jobs with unpredictable schedules and variable earnings are a larger source of hardship. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

“We will call it Open Enrollment. It will be a period of time where you can review your insurance options and pick what is best for your family.” “All insurers will do it simultaneously, right? So couples can compare their options and rates” “No. They will be all over the place.”

Another report focusing on messaging? Will any of these folks please recognize that the lack of messaging infrastructure, and voter relationships, is the real problem? We can say whatever we want, but it doesn't matter because the other side will just lie about us and they have a bigger bullhorn.
