Regarding the Mark Joseph Stern bruhaha: If you believe posting to social media is some form of journalism (and I am not 100 percent sold yet), then you need to accept that really stupid people who don't understand the subject you are "reporting" on at all are going to post stupid shit. Don't whine.

But only that one time and not the thousands of other times he has fucked up on the clock?

He forgot that Congress is a thing. TBF, Congress also forgot that Congress is a thing...

Breaking: The president has signed an executive order on mail voting. He has no lawful authority to write the rules that govern our elections. He tried a year ago; we sued him; we won. A year later, he has tried again. He can expect the same result. 1/2

The London Tree Slowly Eating a Postbox London does eccentricity well, but sometimes the city doesn’t even need to try. In Chelsea, on the corner of Drayton Gardens and Priory Walk, a London plane tree is gradually swallowing an Edwardian postbox. londonopia.co.uk/the-london-t...

Happy 83rd birthday to the one and only Christopher Walken! 🎉

Infrastructure Week, amirite?!

I'm willing to believe that they decided it on 1st amendment grounds that a state cannot regulate talk therapy, so long as it also prohibits the current Texas mental health care ban on providing care to trans kids. www.texastribune.org/2026/03/02/t...

Could explain why an interpretation of a Supreme Court opinion is misleading, unfair, or uncharitable, but if the Court itself is dishonest and unfair, and has lost any possible entitlement to charity, why bother?

“Altercations involving woman” is kinda a crazy way to describe domestic violence.

Shohei Ohtani (280 career home runs) starts on the mound tonight for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The last time an MLB player with more career home runs started a game as the pitcher was Jimmie Foxx in 1945.

NEW: With no authority under the Constitution to change election rules, President Trump has signed an executive order that calls for restricting voting by mail. The order is expected to be challenged in court www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

📚 “I stand by my decision. I will not change my mind.” RUTHERFORD COUNTY library director LUANNE JAMES 🦸‍♀️ was just fired for refusing to move kids books into the adult section simply because the board doesn’t like what they’re about. Full: www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

I remember in 11th grade my history teachee casually pointed out that light skined Black Americans were a thing because of enslavers raping the women who they enslaved and that fucked me up.

NPR, PBS and others demonstrated that President Donald Trump’s anti-media funding executive order is unlawful, a federal court in Washington said

74% of Americans now say the government isn’t doing enough to regulate AI. They’re right. That’s why I introduced a moratorium bill - to give us time to address the risks and to ensure that this technology works for all of us, not just the billionaires who own it.

Complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau doubled in 2025. But under Russ Vought's tenure heading the CFPB, the agency has been gutted. It's now easier than ever for shady banks, lenders, and credit card companies to pick your pocket. And it's all because of the Trump regime.

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.” “But we can open the box,” said Toad. “That is true,” said Frog.

I used to drink jungle juice out of a gray garbage cans and now my body is like, "Oop! You ate a little too much cheese! Gonna feel awful for three hours!" Don't ever grow up, kids.

I would really like us to get past the concept that any Constitutional right is subject to polling. They aren't. If the polling is consistently in one direction and there's enough support to pass an amendment, that's one thing. That it's close to 50-50 is meaningless. www.npr.org/2026/03/30/n...

Years after touting itself as the next Silicon Valley, the Miami metropolitan area saw the nation’s highest share of population loss due to domestic out-migration.

Yes, yes. Parents putting their daughters on puberty-delaying drugs because they believe they have a chance of making the United States Olympic Gymnastics team. Has been happening since the 1980s. Where's that ban?

Immigration is awesome.

As the Olympics feign concern about female athlete safety, keep reality in mind. They weren't concerned when women were impregnated & given abortions for the performance hormone boost. Weren't concerned about preventing puberty in gymnasts for the competitive advantage. No problem with sexual abuse

Anti-abortion activists believed the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs heralded the elimination of abortion nationwide, and that this would protect women and children. They were wrong on every count. Research shows that the ruling only made pregnancy more dangerous, for both women and children.

HARRISON BADER HAS HIT THE FIRST HOME RUN OF THE GIANTS SEASON! REJOICE!!!!

If he hits 2x, every American gets a free medium fries and drink.

If I’ve learned anything about running for public office over the last seven months, it’s that orgs don’t give you money, let alone a LOT of money, unless you jump through a *lot* of hoops, and only if they believe your vision is aligned with theirs. “Series B funding led by Bain Capital Crypto”

*In my Mr. Rogers voice* I think that we can do better.

Browns withdraw proposal to expand trading of draft picks.

The NFL has created the impression that the NFLRA's request for "marketing fees" is a proposed new term of the relationship. It isn't; the current number is $775,000 per year.

“Protesting is an act of love. It is born of a deeply held conviction that the world can be a better, kinder place. Saying "no" to injustice is the ultimate declaration of hope.” - Amy Goodman #RadioFreeAmerica

Two out of every 1000 Dodgers fans are really sitting there going "DIDN'T YOU SEE EMMET SHEEHAN GET LIT UP THE OTHER NIGHT? IT'S OVER."

A lot of people have been kinda befuddled by the phenomenon of "every white pro baseball player is a Republican" but it makes sense once you understand "your parents are rich enough to think spending $25k/year and countless hours on travel baseball seems reasonable" is the filter for participation

Per YouGov Rahm Emanuel is the 78th most popular Democrat, behind everyone from Michael Dukakis to Barney Frank. He is 12 places behind Harry Reid, who died five years ago. To the extent anything's happening here it's *entirely* media-driven. yougov.com/en-us/rating...

Whoever said diamonds are a girls’s best friend has clearly never seen a girl inside a bookstore.

Good Eskplainer (is that a term? It should be!) on BART and some of the crackpot opposition to funding it. missionlocal.org/2026/03/bart...

The law applies a 9.9% income tax on income over $1 million.

a really good reason not to use the plagiarism machine to do a job where plagiarism will get you fired is that plagiarism machines are inclined to plagiarize
