I'm a professional researcher myself, and what I can tell you is that asking "should the US deport those who are in the country illegally" (which got majority support in this poll) is a completely useless question that won't reflect public opinion accurately regarding the Trump/Miller regime.

Vlad Jr. had a huge night. 2-4 with a HR, 2 Runs, 2 RBI. Then pulled a Moonlight Graham - saving a life by performing CPR on an invisible fan who nearly asphyxiated after choking on a hot dog.

Like I said

This Bucs-Seahawks game features some of the best looking helmets and uniforms ever worn in the NFL.

Anyone know where I can get my: “This is not the time for hope. Re-elect Harrell.” yard sign?

Every bit of this is crazy level of corruption stuff.

What I love most about this ridiculous escalator meltdown is seeing Mitch Hedberg finally getting credit for an all time great joke.

I’m feeling pretty good about the Darnold signing right now. #seahawks

I’ve watched a lot of football and I’ve never seen that before. Touchdown Seahawks!!

The Aidan Hutchinson State Farm commercial is great. It make any sense as a product endorsement. But it’s a fun commercial.

This is the news cycle we needed.

We must stand resolutely against political assassination and political violence of all kinds, and just as resolutely against everyone who exploits acts of violence as the pretext or excuse for political repression of political opponents.

Trump’s Energy Secretary 9/5/25: “Expediting permitting of energy projects in an ‘emergency’ causes bad things to happen” Trump 1/20/25: Declares up national energy emergency to expedite permitting of energy projects.

Kinda disappointed I couldn’t find room for Justin Leone or Cliff Lee.

Lucy, you’ve got some splinin’ to do!

310 electoral votes just from the states that have legalized recreational cannabis use. Plus another 41 from states that have decriminalized.

FOX doesn’t understand how top-two primaries work.

Trump: “Neville Chamberlain was a stupid evil guy. Everyone knows World War II was entirely his fault. He treated Adolf Hitler very unfairly. He insulted him and that’s why Germany went to war. If Chamberlain was been smartly enough to make a deal like this World War II never would have happened.”

This feels like a good time to encourage anyone who hasn’t done so to listen to Nancy Updike’s story in history the Erie Canal from This American Life (Ep 400). Or, at bare minimum, at least listen to the song. www.thisamericanlife.org/400/stories-...

One of those moments when a snippet of the Will Stancil discourse pops up in your feed and your first reaction is: “Yeah, I’m not really interested in trying to figure out what’s going on here.”

Trump is doing everything he can to kill EV production in the US and hand market dominance over the important sector transportation sector of the 50 years over to China. Meanwhile oil remains the most heavily subsidized energy source in America. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/b...

The secret recipe for Coca-Cola is in the Epstein files.

I love this piece. Returning your shopping cart is a small, simple, sublime act of everyday moral good. It nourishes the soul.

There is no bottom to this barrel.

Just a reminder that Trump owned and bankrupted an airline.

Two things: 1. They Might Be Giants not being able to find room for their self titled song on their self titled album is the most They Might Be Giants thing ever. 2. If They Might Be Giants has pur “They Might Giants” on the album They Might Be Giants, they might have been giants.

Just realized I was sitting next to @kenjennings.bsky.social in a restaurant and I’m not sure if I’m intruding on his neighborhood spot or if he’s intruding in mine. Anyway there’s not much better than a sunny evening in Seattle.

<Thread> I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces. Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into. (It will also escalate from here.) Preview⤵️

This is good advice for all parents.

There is nothing more terrifying in the world* right now than being a fan of an NBA team leading by 7 with :52 seconds to go against the Pacers.

Seattle opting for Key Arena/Climate Pledge over SODA Arena deal was alway bad. And it’s looking even worse with NBA expansion on the horizon.

It sure feel like autopen and election rant is a misdirect and cover story for Trump administration destroying all the evidence and records of investigations into his criminal activities.

News chyron writing in the Trump era is an ongoing battle between grammar and math that both are losing.

This is a damning indictment of the shocking mismanagement by the Bonneville Power Administration.
