All the Stephon Castle dunk replays + Wemby's reaction

Jon Rahm just hit a tee shot so bad he hit Wyndham Clark on the tee of a totally different hole.

this is like the slopulist avengers, never seen the most annoying posters all unite behind a single candidate like this before. and completely unsurprising that it’s a doomed spoiler bid for a fellow think tank guy

This reminds me a lot of a discussion I had recently with a conservative on another platform. And he's a smart guy, has read tons of history and philosophy. One of his deeply-held beliefs is that political change is generally for the worse and should be viewed with skepticism (1/2).

If you want to know why some of us lefty Jews were uncomfortable with all the defenses of Graham Platner and his Nazi flirtations, it was never just about Platner himself. It’s because one of the most prominent left-wing Platner defenders has now moved onto defending MTG.

"You guys argue about what to call it, I'm busy helping people" is like a cheat code for avoiding the absolute worst of Dem politics.

You're going to have a very hard time convincing me there is another factor in Dems' unpopularity that comes anywhere CLOSE to this factor. Incessant centrist struggle sessions are far more damaging than any benefit of changing from schools "must" to "can" teach about the existence of gay people.

one theme running through toby's essay that i think deserves more emphasis is this: reactionary centrists like starmer are simultaneously bullying towards their own supporters and grovelling towards their opponents. it is this abject lack of self-respect that makes them seem so weak

There are 31 NHL teams that Jamie Benn could help next season. The Stars happen to be the 32nd. On the Stars stubbornness and unwillingness to make the tough choice & how the Stars now need Benn to save them from themselves. My latest for @dmagazine.bsky.social www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Our best family movie in the last six months was The Man Who Knew Too Much. Plus my younger son is firm in his conviction that Independence Day is his favorite movie. So...it's fine to ignore this. That said, they did not enjoy Fellowship of the Ring as much as I expected...

I think some people like MTG because she’s an idiot and it’s relatable.

If politicians are looking for a way to break with Dems to generate some moderate street cred, how about this stuff instead of bigotry?

I'm not in a good mood today, and I understand why people are (accurately) saying this. But I think it's still very bad? Taking the House for 2 years is good, sure. But it will also continue the frog-boiling of living in a failing democracy immune to the will of voters. When does it stop?

They're going to push us to the point where other options have to be on the table

Merrick Garland existed only as the punchline to a debate hall told-ya-so (maybe Republicans will be OK with him, and if they aren't, look what it will prove!) that Republicans were never going to care about. Just a pure failure to use power (and abdicating the power voters gave them).

There was a somewhat understandable but, in hindsight, deeply misguided hope that we could all just pretend Trump I was a bad dream we had woken up from rather than an ongoing threat to the country. Really bad mistake to make, clearly.

"SUPERMAN!"

Okay Scottie, crazy spin move then gathers himself for the two hand dunk.

. @aoc.bsky.social responds to this trend: "BOOOOO" "This race to try to see who can be exempt from participating in society is not a conversation that I'm interested in," she tells me, calling it an uninspiring message. "I'm a Great Society Democrat, and I believe in building that together."

Wait wait wait is going on Twitter every day and showing that you’re an incredible moron not helpful in finding investors? This is shocking information.

Great article from @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com . The other result of this tendency below (I’ve called it the John Oliver effect) is a constant focus on bad things. The result is, if you’re successful, you convince people that EVERYTHING is bad.

This is...100% wrong? Like the reason 2021-2024 had reduced income inequality and high wage growth is because of expansionary policy. It's important to *defend* such policies!

I don’t think a lot of progs understand that the non-vibesession explanation is the worse option for them. It means Americans are much more sensitive to inflation than mass unemployment and wage stagnation, which is kind of a death knell for a real, sustainable workers politics in this country.

We are murdering people in boats every few days to generate social media content (among tons of other things). And there is no way to stop it. It's a hopeless feeling.

Ok I did a double take on this one.

This is great. The Dells show up many other area billionaires in funding good works. AND, is anyone at Austin ISD connected to the Dell Foundation? A non-recaptured donation to fund librarians, music teachers, and counselors for the next decade would go a long, long way right now…

Everyone saw that Abbey Murphy play

a little surprised the writer of of this isn't today's Main Character yet www.thecut.com/article/wego...

“Fuck it! We’ll do it DEAD!”

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

The number who actively participate in Democratic primaries and deliberately did not vote in the 2024 general is small. The number who, fairly or unfairly, are mad at people who did that is likely higher. If you’re wondering why any Democrat might pursue internal party appeal by criticizing them.

Very disappointed when I checked Alamo showtimes this weekend and learned it was still limited release.

I mean I don't think Cory Booker is the right messenger for...anything really, except his own ambition.

I don’t think any of the AI stuff is separable from NFT’s and the metaverse. There’s a lot more substance to AI, obviously, but I think pessimism about the next big tech thing is well-earned at this point.

I would think this guy specifically would have learned his lesson about exaggerating for effect in his writing. Maybe his defense attorney does a two-for-one deal?

You see this very clearly in a lot of the people who are still frustrated that people have stopped masking, etc. For many people, COVID gave a sense of communal effort. I think that, particularly for people who were lacking that in their prior lives, back to normal has felt like a huge loss.

Alito out here saying "render us irrelevant? That's our job!"

Come on Robby let’s see a decent swaddle man. The nurses would laugh at you.

“My feelings are more important than facts” is the connective tissue here.

Michael Olise gets it: curling an insurance goal is a million times cooler (and more effective, I suppose) than loitering in the corner. Best team in Europe goes through.

oh my goodness Olise

Oh fuck that was the coldest "no, I won't take it to the corner flag" I've ever seen.

Oh my that Olise goal was quite a way to wrap the evening in Munich.

TY Camavinga - very helpful!
