Bold prediction: Barring unforeseen injury, this time next year, we’re gonna be watching the Spurs and Thunder in the Western Conference Finals again. The only thing that can change that is a healthy Warriors team with Giannis taking one of them out. #NBA #NBAPlayoffs

Dear John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation: I found you the next winner of the MacArthur Fellowship. You’re welcome. This woman’s daughter should be the next winner of the MacArthur genius grant.

Now that the race has been called and John Cornyn has officially lost, James Talarico to Ken Paxton: #TXLege #TXSenate #Texas #TexasSenate @jamestalarico.bsky.social @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social

Me to John Cornyn: #TXLege

Had no idea about this, but now that I know, a memo to Hollywood: If you put Hilary Swank in anything, I’m watching it.

I saw a video clip somewhere of a dog peeing on a Lindsey Graham for Senate lawn sign, and I need @weratedogs.com to rate that dog IMMEDIATELY.

With all the Kevin Hart discourse going around right now, I feel like this is a good time to disclose that the way I found out about Clubhouse was seeing that someone once made a room on Clubhouse called “Kevin Hart is Not Funny” and he joined the room to rebut the premise of the room. #Blacksky

Doing my part to spread the news about this because in an era where RFK Jr. is HHS secretary, news like this can easily get suppressed and false narratives can be spread. Once again, keep RFK Jr. FAR away from this. Sidebar: love love love that the peer-reviewed article is linked in this thread.

You can tell all these “assassination attempts” on Trump are fake for 2 reasons: 1) After every one of them, he tried to say “tHiS iS wHy i nEeD a $1 bILLiOn BaLLroOm”. 2) In a country with as many guns as the United States, there is no way this many people have such bad aim.

Your annual reminder that #MemorialDay was created by black people. It was originally called “Decoration Day”, and the history of the holiday was whitewashed by white Democrats after they regained control of state politics when Reconstruction ended. www.blackhistory.com/2018/05/blac...

The current conundrum of American politics is finding people that represent the best of the United States that are accomplished and impressive in every way, and then trying to convince them to seek a job working with the dumbest people in the country, half of whom couldn’t get hired anywhere else.

I’m torn about spending this.

Imagine paying the Confederate soldiers reparations after they seceded from the Union and waged war against the United States during Reconstruction. And imagine making Robert E. Lee the arbiter of who receives those reparations. That’s the equivalent of what Trump wants to do with this slush fund.

Keisha Lance Bottoms gave an AWFUL answer on data centers when asked about it on The Last Word on Thursday. She better get it together on that issue; not only is it important for her to win that gubernatorial race, but she can’t turn off voters that Jon Ossoff needs to keep his Senate seat. #GAPol

Donald Trump literally said a couple of days ago that he’s gonna make a pool waterproof, and some of you dumb motherfuckers still think he’s smart. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Zohran Mamdani has (rightly) been getting all the attention for everything he’s been doing in NYC. Let’s check in on the democratic socialist mayor that was also elected last year and who’s not getting any attention: Katie Wilson.

I would love for a Democrat to win Thomas Massie’s seat in the general election in November, but given how conservative his district is, I don’t have a lot of faith that it could happen. So I feel less guilty about throwing this out there: Does Kentucky have rules prohibiting write-in campaigns?

Time for Jalen Brunson to play for Team USA next Olympics. If you can put Derrick White on the team, you can put Jalen Brunson on the team.

Doing my part to spread the word about this because I have been wearing masks because of COVID for 6 years straight and I have scabs on the back of my ears from them and I’m tired of having to wear them. Also, a bonafide win for science. Start the countdown until RFK Jr. fearmongers about this.

So here’s an idea: Since people have to “apply” for compensation from this cockamamie slush fund that Trump is stealing our tax dollars to create, and since the criteria for “just compensation” is “being mistreated by the government”, I’m gonna apply for compensation and say Trump stole from me.

Great. This is a perfect time to have an anti-vaxxer as HHS Secretary when there’s an outbreak of an Ebola virus strain that has no vaccine and no treatment, and an American has contracted it.

When you see a dog you wanna pet and it makes eye contact with you, but then you see the sign on its back saying it’s a guide dog and not to pet or distract it:

This is the best NBA game I’ve watched in MONTHS. #NBA #NBAPlayoffs #WCF #WesternConferenceFinals #SASvsOKC

Stephon Castle is quickly becoming one of my favorite players to watch. I LOVE the way he attacks the basket hard every time. #NBA #NBAPlayoffs #WCF #WesternConferenceFinals #SASvsOKC

That was the worst possession out of a timeout I’ve ever seen, but the Thunder bailed the Spurs out with a foul. #NBA #NBAPlayoffs #WCF #WesternConferenceFinals #SASvsOKC

There was no outcome of the OpenAI lawsuit that could have been a good one. Had Elon Musk won, it would’ve kept OpenAI under the thumb of a racist whose track record of ruining things is well-documented. With OpenAI winning, AI becomes more entrenched in our society. Either way, we all lose.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but a president cannot keep his oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic AND sue the government he/she/they control at the same time.

This is probably what Kash Patel thinks he looks like.

This is one of my first tweets ever. It’s from January 13th, 2021. Nearly 5 and a half years later, I stand by this tweet. Every so often, I revive this tweet to remind people of how often I’m right. I repeat: James Harden will NEVER win a championship. Ever. Anywhere.

This is how you can tell what the current state of hip hop is: Drake dropped *3* albums today. I haven’t seen any conversation about whether or not the albums were good. Not a single word. But I’ve seen plenty of commentary about who he’s dissing and how often he’s dissing them.

2 months ago, I drafted this post but never posted it: AJ Dybantsa better start apartment hunting in DC now.

You know what’s really telling? Iran has been making some very compelling Lego propaganda videos for almost 2 months now. And not a single mainstream media outlet has bothered to cover any of them, let alone the fact that they’re being made or their message. It kinda proves the videos right.

This is a Gary Chambers appreciation post. That is all.

I’ve been thinking about this point for a while. For context, 50 Cent bought Mike Tyson’s Connecticut mansion for $4.1 million in 2003 and did $6 million worth of renovations. That’s $10.1 million for a MANSION with 21 bedrooms, multiple kitchens, and a helipad. Trump wants $1 billion for 1 room.

Every time Donald Trump becomes president, some virus pops up that can kill us all. First COVID-19, now hantavirus. Instead of the colossal failure of the first Trump administration to deal with COVID-19 teaching us a lesson, the universe punishes us some more for making the wrong choice.

I’m a bonafide Yankee hater, but even I can appreciate what it means for John Sterling to have died. If you grew up in New York, and if you listened to the radio at all, it was unavoidable to hear his classic calls. For us Mets fans, it’s the equivalent of Howie Rose dying. RIP John Sterling.

You ever hear someone question why black people always vote for Democrats? Because the alternative doesn’t care about you so much that they’d literally fight harder to make it legal to disenfranchise you and make it harder for you to vote than they would to win your vote with their ideas. #SCOTUS

Guys, apparently when Andy Dick said he was “ready to get 86’ed”, he meant that he was ready to get killed in a mob hit.

You know, if Iran was as desperate to “make a deal” as Trump keeps saying they are, it really says something about Trump’s dealmaking skills that he hasn’t been able to make a deal with someone so desperate to do so, doesn’t it? It’s almost like he’s not the “Art of the Deal” guy after all.

Dear James Dolan: See what happens when the Knicks play in an arena that ISN’T under constant surveillance and that DOESN’T spy on random fans you don’t like? Sell the team. And I wish you would try to do something to me; I walk past MSG all the time. #Knicks #KnicksTape #NBA #NYK #NYKnicks

I present to you the winner of Al Gore’s internet for April 28th, 2026.

Wort pointing out that Teddy Roosevelt was actually shot right before giving a campaign speech, and he gave the speech before seeking medical attention. Please remember that whenever Trump tried to pretend he’s some kind of tough guy when he’s literally saying he needs a ballroom to protect him.

I think I’m the only Mets fan in existence that thinks Carlos Mendoza shouldn’t be fired. 2022: Buck Showalter wins Manager of the Year 2023: Buck Showalter not invited to return 2024: Carlos Mendoza finishes 3rd for Manager of the Year If we fire him, who’s the answer? #LGM #Mets #MetsSky

Melania Trump decrying “hateful and violent rhetoric” is laughable considering she was a birther. Questioning the citizenship of a sitting president of the United States when you weren’t born here and how you got your citizenship is questionable at best constitutes “divisive, hateful rhetoric”.

Me bookmarking all these “Graham Platner sucks” posts:

I guess this doesn’t seem so crazy now, huh? Seems to be working. #LGM #Mets #MetsSky

Please take note of what happens when you confront Trump. This is the supposed “tough guy” people are scared of. We should’ve both seen the signs and learned the lesson from this.

Has Donald Trump called John Ternus “John Turnip” yet? #Apple

People who bring lawsuits for alleged defamation need to understand 2 things: 1) Truth is an ABSOLUTE DEFENSE to a defamation claim. 2) Civil litigation involves a pre-trial phase called discovery. There are too many idiots that don’t understand this to list.

The guy who had a ghostwriter for “The Art of the Deal” and somehow gets credit for having written that book seems to think deals and plans have “concepts”. That’s how you should’ve known that he didn’t write “The Art of the Deal”. What kind of idiot falls for this dumb shit?
