a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Donald Trump wants to lend $20 billion of our money to bail out a political ally and his global investors before an election. Oh, and Argentina just struck a major deal with China that crushes American soybean farmers already suffering from Trump's tariffs. “America First.”

[When a @pablo.show episode about NBA salary cap fraud comes out] I'm glad someone is doing real journalism these days, I'm going to listen to that real soon. [When a @pablo.show comes out w/ Katie Nolan and Michael Cruz Kayne talking a ton of nonsense] Hell yes, I'm listening to this immediately.

@vincemancini.bsky.social any thoughts on Next Gen Chef or is Too Chef enough TV cooking for you.

@davidjroth.bsky.social it’s a small dumb thing but noticing the ‘explicit’ tag on the Distraction made me chuckle. Guess the prudes at Apple can’t handle sandwich talk.

more "doing politics the right way"™️ via "open debate" with @brianstelter.bsky.social and ezra klein's pal charlie kirk #whiteguymafia

wrote on charlie kirk for the newsletter this weekend

Can't believe the @bostonglobe.com editorial board listened to Peter Gabriel's 'Biko' to inspire them to right about Charlie Kirk.

@bostonglobe.com which parts of Kirk's platform of suggesting gay people should be stoned, black people are predators, Muslims are the enemy of America, etc... are you mourning the loss of the most? He shouldn't have been killed. He absolutely shouldn't be mourned by the Boston Globe's op-ed dept.

Magnum PI: Did you see the sunrise, Ivan? Ivan: Yes, why? [Magnum shoots Ivan dead, then realizes Ivan was just trying to buy some goddamn Radiohead tickets]

There are a crazy high number of State troopers out actively pulling people over on I-91 in Massachusetts today - anyone know what's up? (Other than the general police state of it all these days) #massachusetts

@sabs.bsky.social Nicely matches up with your harvester ants article.

Israel–Premier Tech’s presence at La Vuelta is ruining the race: defector.com/israel-premi...

@vincemancini.bsky.social It occurred to me that if we, as a nation, are just supposed to let multiple English actors play Spiderman, surely it is time for an American to play James Bond, right?

@drewmagary.bsky.social can't believe you all were off playing Capture the Flag as a team building exercise or whatever and we didn't get a Feinbag out of it.

Lads the HONK I just honked

C'mon NYT crossword editors. We all now 'whap' isn't a g__ d___ word. #NYT

@universalhub.com what's up with the Walter / Centre St intersection - is the long gestating rotary project starting?

Is the Foundation TV show as dumb as Asimov's books or did they manage to suss out that entire planets of people wouldn't all have the same character traits, actually?

Do people think JD Vance calls his children mudbloods to their faces or only to other people when he thinks they can't hear him?

@drewmagary.bsky.social thoughts and prayerd, amigo.

Alan Dershowitz picked the wrong pierogi vendor to pick a fight with www.instagram.com/p/DM_g1OyxirL

@chadfinn.bsky.social workshopping a sports radio call, Patriots should offer Drake Maye to the Cowboys for Micah Parsons and Joe Milton. Who says no?

@girinathan.bsky.social is there a good daily / semi-daily tennis newsletter like @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social Cup of Coffee does for baseball?

@davidjroth.bsky.social Just imagined Trump talking about how 'you don't see that girl from AT&T anymore... on the ads... but we're going to bring her back' during a press conference on Gaza or similar and felt I needed to share that.

Climate change --> Home insurance crisis --> Politicians desperately try to ignore or paper over the problem with cheap tricks [WE ARE HERE] --> Rapid devaluation of trillions of $ of real estate --> Global financial crisis.

I find it hypnotic to watch America walking straight down a path towards a climate change/ insurance/ financial/ political crisis that is entirely predictable. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/cheap-tric...

Rich teams already pay a shit ton in revenue sharing to teams like the Pirates, Marlins, etc., whose owners pocket the money instead of spending it on players because capitalism. Then they gaslight their fans into being mad at owners willing to spend or players for being “greedy.” Come on, guys.

This is great. www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

I asked Peter Thiel for comment on Hulk Hogan's death. No response so far.

@drewmagary.bsky.social I'm sure you've covered this but ....Like Clockwork is the best QotSA album, right?

Is anyone in Boston finding that their flower bed soil is has the texture of ovaltine these days, I think because the invasive jumping worms are just hammering all of the organic matter out of it? I've also noticed levels dropping by a few inches in raised planters. #garden #boston

@moulton.house.gov this is such better advice than whatever you’re doing to try to appease the Jeff Jacobys of the world.

The only thing Trump can release that people actually want is the all of the albums in the Prince vault.

Hunter Biden has a point. And a quite colorful one.

@briancgrubb.bsky.social looking for a show to watch this summer- is House of the Dragon worth my time? Very willing to fast forward through the boring and torture stuff, same as I did with GoT.

@universalhub.com I’d guess that a geo-engineering company doing sample drilling today in the old BoA parking lot means the new owners are for sure planning on building something pretty large on that lot. Should be a Petco level community meeting in terms of folks getting mad…

@craigcalcaterra.bsky.social finally watched Zero Effect- why did Gloria have to go on the run at the end? She wasn’t caught by anyone but Daryl?

@pablo.show I appreciate all the super excellent journalism going on about the NFL/NFLPA but I finally listened to the bird episode and .... was getting David fucking Attenborough shockingly expensive or surprisingly affordable? Never occurred to me that he'd be happy to spoof himself like that.

@seankuhn.bsky.social More like New Orleans week with all these 504 errors on Defector.com Can't believe how hard the shadowy cabal that runs the internet is working to keep Bills week from the public.

Piping plovers have made a remarkable recovery in Massachusetts. But the tiny, threatened shorebird is declining in other states, like Maryland and Virginia. Experts aren't quite sure why the disparity exists, but they suspect food abundance and habitat play a role. Climate change may alter both.

It's funny that @joshforboston.bsky.social doesn't even bother to post on Bluesky, I guess because he knows his prospective voters are on Facebook, Nextdoor and the @bostonherald.bsky.social comment section and not here. #boston

It's Murderbot Eve/Day for the season finale:

Sooooo THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA, nineteen years young, has crept back onto the USA Today best-seller list. #42, not exactly displacing Andy Weir or Suzanne Collins, but icing on the cake is icing on the cake.
