Progressive Gen Z women recognize the existence of male loneliness, but aren't so sure that the solutions aren't also progressive. @racheljanfaza.bsky.social discuss that and more with @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on The Focus Group:

If nothing else, the Trump administration is doing wonders to highlight the importance of jury trials.

This is what every single person with any experience in China has been warning about from the start. Very good WaPo story by Katrina Northrop and Rudy Lu. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1... And good, clear headline!

maybe the most brutal strikeout in baseball history

"To Trump, Reagan’s composed performance, with its affirmation of consensus, is almost intolerable. It must be discredited not because it is inaccurate but because it represents an entirely different model of what presidential authority looks like." -Jake Lundberg www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.” - Carl Sagan

This photo of rookie Yesavage casually walking off the mound as future Hall of Famer and helmet-less Ohtani is still in motion striking out is everything. #WantItAll

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today. You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

This was 53 years ago. No bench clearing, no ejections. They just kept playing.

Tyler Rogers has never thrown a pitch faster than 86 MPH but he's still pretty hard to hit. Maybe you can see why.

Portland is a “war-ravaged” city that is “on fire,” President Trump warns. But I braved the artillery fire and militia checkpoints to bring you this video report from the front lines.

Hey Paul. @pfrazee.com Why does the "show less like this" feature do the opposite of what one might reasonably think it would do?

“I’m resigning from my position as Democratic leader and retiring from the Senate.”

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Steve is describing how fast he can run if he tries his best. Apparently it's really fast, much faster than Brad.

Well. That is cool. #didnotknow

James Talarico: "Charlie Kirk was a child of God.  He was our sibling, our brother, he was a human being endowed with infinite worth and entitled to unconditional love. Now his wife is left without a husband, and his children are left without a father...Political violence has no place in America."

The Onion's post 9/11 issue may have been -- just for degree of difficulty alone -- the greatest comic writing of my lifetime.

Giants broadcasters Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow seem unfamiliar with the Sausage King of Chicago.

The online ghouls who are celebrating and/or justifying the shooting of Charlie Kirk have no idea how much damage they are doing…

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

Irony about Rumsfeld is that Americans made the same mistake with him that they made with McNamara and later, with Trump: We are convinced that people who were in business can run the government like a business. It's a stupid, stupid belief but millions of Americans are wedded to it.
