Words DO MATTER. This is deeply moving.

Nah, just dress McIlrath.

a type of content that makes me want to launch myself into space and is huge part of why everything is so bad: TikToker goes down a “rabbit hole,” makes 9-minute video. The “rabbit hole” was she found an Eater article. The Eater journalist did all the work: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTruBS8cp/

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

If Carl von Clausewitz were to advise Secretary Rubio on peace in Ukraine, he might say something like this: lnk.thebulwark.com/4pzTkrK

Key Lime Cherry Dutch Apple Mixed Berry Apple Pumpkin Pecan.

As a former journalist, I reflexively defend journalists. But Lizza and Nuzzi should be launched into the sun.

Nobody who has flown through Dulles says “mobile lounge.”

Hot take: The marriage of gambling and pro sports, whether ads or in-broadcast “advertorial” discussions of parlays or odds, is swiftly destroying America’s last shared experience.

Who’s ready for the least surprising thing ever?

He’s out here wearing a DODGERS hat, while his DAD is on our MONEY

Blake Treinen's stats since he wrote Charlie Kirk on his hat: 3.0 IP, 5 Runs, 9.00 ERA, 0 Ks, 1.667 WHIP, and 3 LOSSES

Is Vladdy OK? As the Sportsnet commentators said, he’s running a little gimpy

If this was the pre-pitch clock era, it would be Friday.

This is cute and all, but if they bring in Fernando Valenzuela I’m calling shenanigans.

Heart attack at the bottom of the 12th

Omg, nobody knows when to slide or how to slide or what is even sliding

I cannot imagine why you run for home on that play. Let Vladdy get up there.

I know a lot of people talk about "Ken Griffey's swing", "John Olerud's swing" but for my money there is nothing more beautiful than Alejandro Kirk: - 5'7 and built like a Welsh corgi - basically drops halfway into a splits on each swing - each swing is a Street Fighter "Shooooryuken" uppercut

the last time a World Series game was played at SkyDome in Toronto, it was in 1993 against the Phillies and their catcher was Darren Daulton. Later, his Phillies teammate, Gary Varsho, named his son after Daulton, and Daulton Varsho just homered for the Blue Jays at SkyDome in the World Series

This is video-game level analysis from Platner. Yes, he did combat time, but he wants to portray himself as a Citizen-Philosopher-Soldier, and this ain't it.

My child went through four years Marine infantry and managed to not get a Nazi tattoo. Platner is 41. I believe in forgiveness. Dumb kids do dumb things. But there's gotta be a lot more "I was a stupid asshole" language, not "they" are doing this to me.

Help me understand. Is this their way of telling the crazies that chemtrails don't exist, or do they really intend to investigate themselves and accuse someone of chemtrails?

Pretty genius of Springer to hit a home run since, y’know, he only has one knee left

If the Jays lose tonight, it will again be the Leafs fault.

Everyone hates the Leafs because they act like they own hockey, and yet they haven’t won since there were only a dozen clubs. Their fans hate watch their own team. The Jays have all of Canada behind them, and nobody can hate Vladdy.

Noonish Sunday #Caps games should be illegal.

State failure is putting it mildly. I’ve witnessed coups happen because of this precisely.

Real loud for the back, “WE ARE DOING THE STUDIES TO MAKE THE PROOF.” Science.

Let’s go Blue Jays!

Seeing Curtis Yarvin tweet is like if you watch a horror movie that sets up this mysterious evil villain, and then at the end of the movie comes the grand reveal… and it’s just Alf. And you can’t help but laugh and also feel a bit let down. That’s it??

Connery is Bond. The rest of the order is Moore, Craig, Dalton, Lazenby, and Bronson. Niven and Nelson are not canon. I will not be taking questions.

You can buy Wonder bread everywhere. Buy your Wonder bread and shut the fuck up. * Wonder, please credit me if you use this slogan.

I can

Would John Stuart Mill like to weigh in?

Holy sh!t. The medical conspiracy theory now is that cancer helps the body fight toxins. This is so dangerous and people are believing her?!?!

People are reading AI-generated synopses of books and then claiming they read 100 books in a week. This is how the abolition of books began in Fahrenheit 451: classics were condensed into five-minute summaries for those too busy to do the reading. Later came the burnings.

How are Trump's economic policies impacting you? Let me give you a hard example. 🧵

Just wait til the caddie flings his hat…

The Washington “Whatevers” should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Montreal Expos. There is a big clamoring for this. Our great Quebecois people, in massive numbers, want this to happen.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.

If anyone somehow doesn’t know, property taxes are local and fund public schools.

I was born in 1973 in Indiana and grew up in Ohio. Mostly white, very few immigrants, and experienced no “cost” of prior bigotry. Some angry, racist dudes just like to come up with reasons for their angry racism. Sometimes this, sometimes it’s a book and film adaptation.

@chadrector.bsky.social Welcome!

Lots of really stellar diplomats, FS and CS alike, are being let go only because of where they were assigned at the time.

This is exactly what the internet is for.
