Europeans when asked to help unblock the Strait of Hormuz:

This is a more likely red-to-blue flip than Texas. And it costs way less to run for office in Alaska. Send your money to this lady before trying to buy ads in 4 of the largest media markets in the country.

It’s 2026 and people are voluntarily reading Matt Yglesias pieces. We don’t need to do this.

Buddy was in PRISON, not the celebrity jail, PRISON

More Americans have died in the illegal undeclared Iran War than died during the Afghanistan withdrawal that was portrayed to the American public as a presidency-annulling catastrophe for Joe Biden.

No skips for real but if I gotta pick one it's T.R.O.Y. Still top 5 all time hip hop track, this is a top 5 all time album too

Man, this is downright pathetic

If and when we get on the other side of this historic debacle the next Democratic administration better not give the political media/punditry one ounce of deference. Not after the way they have sat back and taken it from this MAGA clown show that they enabled back in charge.

@tomqsherwood.bsky.social she caught you!

No joke, I think this might be one of the most important roles for tech-savvy Millennials/Gen Xers. We caught a glimpse of an amazing world, one that was almost entirely free of corporate or political influence because the suits hadn’t caught on yet. We could talk with ANYONE in an age of landlines

Jesse went in those rooms and got jobs and board seats. A couple years later they’re walking into those rooms and getting podcast mics and speaking engagements.

Beat him. Real simple, challenge him and beat him. If you can't beat the 85 year old guy then STFU already. This one is too old, this one is too weak and yet their constituents keep voting for them. Goes for both parties. 'I'm not 85' isn't a winning strategy, folks.

You need to talk about politics with your kids. Don’t wait until some special age. There are age appropriate ways to prepare them for life. Trust that the opposition starts indoctrinating their kids early and continuously.

'Sunday Bloody Sunday' is one of the best opening album tracks ever

'Centrist' gets applied to a lot of people who are just longtime loyal Democrats and thus part of the 'establishment' regardless of their record, so y'all can chase these gonzo candidates. Call me crazy but I don't think it's asking too much to have shown some loyalty to a group you want to lead

When did your obsession with hot toxic women begin? (Man, Bucks Rodgers better than me, I'd have sold out for real)

All you called him crazy for it

Which means he's gonna have to say a lot of the stuff that gets y'all mad as hell on here. Just keep that in mind.

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

I get hating on Bam if he plays for a rival (F- Reggie Miller, always) but y'all out here talking about efficiency and how many FT attempts he got? I'm glad y'all nerds weren't talking this way when Iverson was playing. Spreadsheet bros woulda ran him out of the league.

AGAIN: You can’t have it both ways. If you’re gonna insist that Democratic candidates not accept funding from corporate PACs, crypto, PhRMA, the NRA, the “AIPAC” boogeyman, etc., that means they have to get their funding from US. Emails/texts suck but that’s literally part of the price we pay.

Joe Biden's biggest flaw was his modesty. Biden's reluctance to do self promotion about his presidential accomplishments left the door open for his critics to pretend he had none.

"Joe Biden pulled off perhaps the greatest oil trade of all time and in the process broke OPEC's grip and basically no one knows about it." Yup. Joe Biden was an amazing President who made this country stronger and its people more secure. And he gets ZERO credit for it. It's infuriating.

NEW POST! For this piece, I look at WWE's creative shakeups and how Triple H needs to take more risks. #wwe #wrestling #prowrestling #creative #writing #blog ko-fi.com/post/Madolen...

"Code of the Streets" is my go to track

They spent all them seasons trying to pass both of them off on dudes and we all knew it was a lie

Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?” Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth

We should never ever forget why they did it

We should never ever forget why they did it

This is literally how we got the Civil Rights and Great Society bills in the 60s: at one point under LBJ, Democrats held 68 seats in the Senate and 295 in the House. With those sorts of numbers the Goldens or Cuellars or Manchins or Sinemas of the world would be powerless. Elect more Democrats!

The solution to 4 out of 214 Dems voting the wrong way is to elect 250 Dems so that you don’t have to give a shit about those 4.

It’s called “vetting,” asshole. You’re running for a high-profile U.S. Senate seat with zero political experience. Of COURSE they’re gonna dig into your past. That’s standard. Once again: Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t have a clue how anything works.

or they could say... "We fucked up getting rid of DEI. Target was special because it was an inclusive environment for everyone, which created a harmonious vibe, but we got scared in November 2024 and acted stupidly. We are reinstating our policies and want to earn your business back."

God, yes. That show, lovely as it was, baked a lot of people's brains about how government works

50M of the last 51.5M jobs have been created by Democratic Presidencies since 1989 but Dems need to "find a way to win back the white working class"

All time underrated album

This is the era to take detailed notes on who the Business Idiots are. Every single person who bought into this at this scale has outed themselves as an untrustworthy individual with questionable taste www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-t...

I did not share the original story because my gut was that the sourcing was dubious. Someone who knows more about the sole source confirms that skepticism. Don't fall for clickbait, read the piece linked below. (If the story is confirmed by other outlets, that's another thing. But ... it's not)

White man to my fellow White folk: Black Dems have put in work cycle after cycle only to find themselves running into battle alone while we chill on the hill. They're tired of it, and my fellow white folk need to quit dismissing it and start fucking listening for once before its too late.

All major large language models (LLMs) can be used to either commit academic fraud or facilitate junk science, a test of 13 models has found. There were major differences though, with Claude made by Anthropic being most resistant to committing fraud. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

here's a little story. Janet Mills won a big settlement against drug companies as part of the opioid crisis and used it to buy Narcan, enough for every fire station and police department in the state. Republican Paul LePage said Narcan just encouraged drug use and people should die,

Wait, so did the GOP think releasing these videos of Hillary would make her look bad and not make them look stupid?

I predict this man has a very bright future. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Congratulations, pal. #WellDeserved

The lesson of this and the DEI lawsuit is that if you fight them in court, you will win. If you cave, you are a chump.

It cannot be stressed enough how these Republicans don’t see government jobs as jobs at all. They see them as titles, no-show gigs where they can do whatever they want. That’s why they hated the people in those jobs before, they thought it was a scam because they don’t believe in doing the work.

So Netflix is gonna totally buy everything they want from Paramount for pennies on the dollar in a few years. 'Chess not checkers' finally applies

If you ever feel bad for yourself remember there are ppl that paid well over $100,000 for a trash can on wheels with the build quality less than a LEGO car

A bit on the nose, huh?

Honestly you have a responsibility as a member of society to help reduce transmission of these very preventable illnesses. By not honoring the social contract you’re no different than a murderer. Argue with your mother. But go get booster on those vax if it’s been more than 10 yrs.
