When Ahasuerus is threatening the batman

Telemachus…. Its time you had the talk…. Give your reasons

We need to DESTROY a great EMPIRE *oracle of delphi monkey paw*

Suns out

oh no my collaboration with @joelbaden.bsky.social has reached a new phase

A great moment in the odyssey is when they all get upset about this whole thing and then do extremely powerful drugs

It's sort of fascinating, this Mavs team has played some of the best summer league basketball I've ever seen in terms of not wanting to destroy your TV, but somehow by shooting way less than their opponents. The problem with Summer League is always that desperate guys chuck shots

I went out this morning just to do some form shooting bc of the smoke and I got pretty frustrated I couldn’t do ten in a row but I clipped together some of my better streaks and felt a little better

Unfortunately The Bad News Is That Something Terribly Wrong Has Happened To God

This is how to speak to every single one of those sycophants.

This is part of why people don’t trust the party too. Don’t name things that congress can’t do with simple majorities! People know it’ll never happen!

The year is 2028. The democratic candidate for president is running on single issue: food sold in America can have glass OR poop in it, but NOT both. They win the national popular vote by 4 points but lose to the GOP candidate by 11 electoral votes.

YOU would say this? You look like if someone gave Krang from TMNT a body

It's pretty smoky even down here today and I'm trying to work myself up into a fury that Canada allowed itself to have... smoke

I've read this book before, next he has to be killed by a snake

THANK you

I think one of the worst instincts professors have, and I’m talking aboutabout Appiah here, is we think we can successfully and convincingly intellectualize all of our feelings bc we make arguments for a living. So it’s not enough to just FEEL like oh I don’t want to deal with this new stuff

Maybe Messi washed lots of babies, you don’t know

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

Something I have genuinely always said is that nobody ever has one bad opinion. Many people know this, but many people don't, which is why there used to be this constant fight over "canceling" - a certain kind of person thinks wow I guess you have to have ONLY PERFECT OPINIONS HUH?

The thing is - don't fucking talk to me that way. And that's a big part of why Dems in congress are so unpopular. The theory - win in purple districts, then have the votes - is fine, but there comes a time when you either stand up for the people you actually represent or you're just a coward

When you genuinely can’t miss

It’s my guy Snake Plisken

Fetterman is such a microcosm of the plight of the party, while being quite a unique asshole in some ways, bc he's touting himself as someone especially well positioned to win a purple state and it's making the base fucking hate him and this is supposed to be a complex question of strategy

hmmm not sure about this one

ICE has killed another person, this time by depriving him of life-sustaining medication for a known medical condition. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva was detained on Thursday. He was dead by Monday. Per @detentionwatchnetwork.org:

*I just saw Project Hail Mary* this is what Project Hail Mary is about

Only in soccer is losing an early one goal lead considered a choke job and that's what makes soccer....... ... great?

I was really cooking here

I'm so glad these Warriors can finally get the gender-affirming care they've always needed

I hope the rain on your wedding day looks like this

One thing I've been liking about Ossoff lately is he has like - Peter Magyar energy. Not that I know enough about Hungarian politics to know to what extent Magyar is good or bad in and of himself but he is clearly doing and saying the things you would do to end an era of kleptocracy

I completely get the safety concern of kids walking to school in the dark and so on. But besides that, here's the thing! Mornings are bad anyway!

Project Hail Mary is GOOD man

This is the part that really gets me lately. It's always like oh wouldn't it be nice to get like a better working dishwasher - SOME day. And then you buy groceries, take your family out to dinner once, buy some gas, you're sort of there, $ wise

Back on my football throwin grind

Have you thought about this place @ljtynan.bsky.social richmondbizsense.com/2026/07/13/h...

At Nepenthetic U everyone fails the pop quizzes

This is part of why the the basic paradigm of the party is going to change. I know a lot of people really believe that there's a silent moderate majority but it's more than the fact that this itself is mis-framed - lots of ppl don't like what sounds weird to them but that's not the same as

I don't have Fox so I've been watching on Peacock which I think has only spanish commentary and I don't know why they said "a spice girl, a spice boy" but

It's Lafayette, we have returned, not Bernardo de Galvez we have returned

People are really obsessed with the idea of memory in the Hebrew Bible and turning every new idea in the study of cultural memory into a version of the sentiment that texts preserve long ago memories even when they really suggest the opposite. @joelbaden.bsky.social has often said to me -

Trying to have a very relaxed day, you know how it is

Here's my Lindsey Graham obit. While most people are focused on his late career villian arc, I will never get over his sneering, hysterical defense of an alleged attempted rapist. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

looks like it's available now from @universitypress.cambridge.org! and they've also dropped the price of the digital book accordingly! www.cambridge.org/core/books/g...

Coming to you live from the oldest college building in the country

or the New Pittburgh Platform Translation: "Yinz, no killin'."

This morning, everyone's talking about about how Ryan Nembhard got Wally Pipp'd

Sure Russell, you were almost eaten by a cyclops, whatever
