If I’m reading things correctly, it looks like her last win on TV was July *2024*. Great partnership here!

He’s gonna approach this like it’s First Take. Normally I’d say that won’t bode well for him, but nothing makes sense anymore anyway.

Between the whole WBD thing yesterday and this, I think it’s (past?) time for me to give up on the Observer. Booker T is the best thing that’s happened to NXT next to Joe Hendry

Worth pointing out now that WBD is leaving no room for being coy. Plus Meltzer seems to have walked back those comments. Will be curious to see if it matters in the end.

Here’s the thing: WBD could have addressed this collaboratively. Like a “Hey, if this keeps up it’s gonna be bad for all of us. Can we tone this down for a bit.” But because they reportedly went so heavy-handed, expect these chants for weeks, if not months, regardless of if he appears.

If he gets released, they should hold a press conference where he says “I want to thank Philly fans, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run, and so that'll make it a 4–0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this uniform again.”

Her: did you really spend our entire savings to buy a giant wacky, waving inflatable arm tube man? Me: THE DOW IS OVER $50,000!

I feel like this lede is going to be remembered for a long time.

A whole bunch of people getting a potentially fatal (but easily preventable) disease at a pro-life event?

An idea for @governor.ca.gov if he decides to run for President in 2028 (or for whoever the nominee is really): you know how folks do these fundraising dinners where they charge something like $100,000 a plate to attend? Do that, but for grassroots donors.

@mikeryanruiz.bsky.social I appreciate your Michael McDonald impression today. Glad he’s getting his recognition after yesterday. Also, do you see Elle Duncan’s takedown of Whitlock? JFC it was amazing

it remains utterly delightful that @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social—who I bet has never watched an NFL game— gets to be Mayor Football and not the guy who constantly talked about his football career in the '70s, hired his football buddies, and dropped at least one football reference in every speech

I knew it was over for the Pats as soon as this happened…

Drake Maye, tears in his eyes, thinking about his unwavering support of ICE agents during the anthem

Notice who he didn’t bother to thank? The actual newsroom staff.

@pablo.show i’m listening to your show with David Samson from last week. Were you giving the Grizzlies the Chris Broussard treatment and calling it “Mempis?” I wasn’t sure if you were trying to do a little Easter egg there

I choose to believe that this match was supposed to go 15 minutes, but as soon as the “Fuck ICE” chants started, TK called an audible and said “Brody in a squash. We’re putting the belt on him.”

Man, not a lot of things surprise me anymore, but this sure did

I bet he was the guy who sat on a far side of the class, then turned his seat sideways so he was facing everyone else, as if to feel superior the other students. Then he would talk, and you realized he’s basing his statements off reading Spark Notes of 6th grade social studies books.

Just a reminder to folks: in early 2025, Bezos announced that not only were the op-ed pages making a strong rightward shift, but that *they wouldn’t even platform* opinion pieces that opposed their new viewpoint. And then they hemorrhaged even more subscribers than before. Bezos caused all of this.

Man, imagine what the NFLPA could achieve if they didn’t have absolute morons in its leadership.

You know…I did not know this guy existed until I saw his name trend two minutes ago, but I have to say his wife did the right thing.

LFG!

Looking forward to the next NBA draft…

Watch him say some bullshit like “We all need to get along” and “I don’t see color.”

I just saw that Sting’s son is using the OG Sting theme song (“Turbo Charged”) now, and I need him to debut on the main AEW roster ASAP

This is why it was so infuriating that many of the big schools capitulated so early. He always caves eventually.

To repurpose an old Jim Cornette line, kid Rock really has a chance to steal the show here. Unfortunately for him, given the quality of the lineup, it would be petty theft.

So definitely think I need to avoid Florida for the next several years. If that state doesn’t turn back to blue at some point fairly soon, a whole bunch of people are gonna die.

Now that he’s been removed from CBS, I can’t wait to see a piece from The Free Press on cancel culture while ignoring their founder being the one to (presumably) make this call

So Tulsi Gabbard does this, AND she has a whistleblower complaint against her and that’s so sensitive in nature it’s currently locked in a secure facility while staffers figure out how they can even inform Congress of the details. I really hope we get back to where people realize how absurd this is.

If you ever needed proof on how useless Grok is, look at this exchange (verified it myself) Elon: If I wanted to be a pedo, it would be very easy to do without Epstein’s help. Grok: Well done, sir!

lol

Can’t wait to see my favorite part of Secret of the Ooze in 4K:

Hmmmm, sitting president sues one of his own departments that’s led by a sycophant. I wonder how many billion the settlement will be for?

I feel like this is notable in the sense that Democrats seem to have kept whatever leverage they have. If they don’t get a deal they feel is appropriate, they don’t have the prospect of other government employees being furloughed hanging over their heads.

Continuing to enjoy community notes more and more

The Blacklist

incredible. if a wrestler came out to this song, i would take a child's soda and throw it at them

Even better that it seems people in the room don’t remember it. Great system guys!

I also want to point out the irony here. Based on the guy’s accent, I’m pretty sure it he were walking around somewhere else and not in uniform, he’d be stopped at least half a dozen times and asked to prove he’s a citizen.

The next nine months of campaign ads also need to play this on repeat: Hey, independent pro-gun-rights voter: the leader of the Republican Party said “You can’t have guns!”

I realize elections are lower on the list of things to worry about after “Not getting killed by ICE.” But if Democrats don’t run ads for the next months highlighting stuff like this, they’ll have failed everyone.

Circulation pump on the dishwasher went out again. Brought a repair person out to replace it. Watching him work, I feel pretty confident that the next time it farts out, I could replace it myself. Or at least install a new dishwasher, which may be about similar cost

I can’t help but think the only reason she’s worked up about this is because she realized that Cubans weren’t going to be exempt from the administration’s “Arrest all brown people” policy.

Is this the first time the NYT used the word “lying?” This seems huge

A random, less urgent thought: has Ole Miss responded at all to Dabo’s press conference from last week? Because I can’t find anything. Which probably means they’re guilty as sin and/or they don’t care. Probably both. Great job, NCAA

Rutgers: “Hey, about that private equity thing… It’s close enough to done, right? Can you just go ahead and cut us that check? We promised we’re good for it!”

Here’s what I keep coming back to: there are plenty of people out there that are both evil AND smart. So why does this administration seem capable of only hiring evil people who are dumb enough to put their crimes in writing?
