In this week’s newsletter I have thoughts on Ezra’s Klein value judgements about the “right way” to do politics.

Trevor Bauer served up a 594 foot home run today and has the highest ERA in the NPB. That home run is the longest in recorded history, here it is

CATCH OF THE YEAR - Denzel Clarke goes wayyyyy over the fence to rob a HR from the Angels' Nolan Shanuel

Kinda sad about Around the Horn ending, for alot of people that block of Around the Horn and PTI was an after school ritual all the way through highschool and college, it hit the same button as Saturday morning cartoons, it was just the thing you always knew you’d be watching, it was comforting.

RIP Sabu ☝️

(tired and drunk while playing Clue) Fuck I dunno...

Preacher Boy wanted you to know the talent was all him, all live. We waiting for the album.

if a guy says theyre CIA and they want you to DM every girl you ever jacked off to and apologize, Its a scam. Just ruined my life. Thank you

That Kool-Aid IP is looking tasty right now.

So easy to see through it on a day like today.

Thinking about these guys

You can’t mess with my immaculate grid skills. #rarityscoreof0 #wealthofknowledge #mymindisadungeon #aprilfools

Perhaps the Gamers are alright

I find Jomboy to be one of the least bad sports media companies in that they advertise gambling bullshit but 90% of their content is 29 year old guys taking sporcle quizzes and going “did Adam Dunn ever play there?” and then 3 other 29 year olds going ohhhhh that felt so goooood

FREE MAHMOUD KHALIL!

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

ICE is not accounting for the whereabouts of dozens of detainees from New Mexico

They’re mocking the Dems now

This is so heartbreaking

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I would like to address Schumer’s alarmist line that the courts will “stop” unless Democrats CAVE IN to Trump’s budget. As I’ve written *repeatedly* THE COURTS WILL NOT STOP TRUMP, NOR HAVE THEY. They’ve told him to turn the money back on ALREADY… HE HASN’T!!

I mean, if they've mortgaged themselves by borrowing against their paper wealth, and that paper wealth drops precipitously via boycotts such that they are underwater on their loans, then you can definitely hurt them. There's a reason why a certain fashy billionaire is panicking right about now.

A WORLD WITHOUT KINGS

So this was a campaign promise not an observation.

a song you can never get loud enough

Guess what the comments look like on this photo of an advisor at my alma mater?

This is NOT what I had in mind when I voted for the man who pretended to work at McDonald's for a day and then drove around in a dump truck. I thought he would continue doing those things, thereby providing valuable services in my community

when you're watching a movie with your parents and a sex scene comes on

it’s wild that this is essentially what james carville told democrats to do. when is society at large going to stop listening to james carville

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

my god

she's doing a noise set

When we finally do the tribunals and truth-and-reconciliation stuff after this mess gets cleaned up, I hope each of these vile little chan dunces is sentenced to "being tackled really hard by Roquan Smith."

Lmao

“Democrats” using Gaza as a gotcha sound exactly the same as MAGA, it’s not only embarrassing but disgraceful. The world cringes.

The American people spoke, and they wanted Elon Musk to be able to share Americans’ personal information from government databases to whatever 19 year old gamers he’s trying to impress on Discord

Everyone’s worried about the tariffs but I’m just going to start buying everything at airport duty-free stores. I’ll be eating the finest Toblerone and cigarettes for the next four years, suckers!
