This country. It’s shit.

there it is

Not sure how to put this, but it’s interesting how the really big ways these guys are bad gives them cover to be bad in the most basic, good old fashioned way. 1/

Disneyland’s free-roaming robotic Olaf has had its first public malfunction. (via magictourclub | TikTok)

Kid Rock posted videos over the weekend showing what appeared to be two AH-64 Apache helicopters hovering close to his home in Nashville.

When I see Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren endorse Graham Platner, it doesn’t make me trust Platner, it makes me lose respect for Sanders and Warren.

If the war in Iran is about anything, its about defeating a theocratic regime that does not respect liberal values

Happy Monday everyone. What happens when you stop petting 😊

Whether we like it or not, this is our country now. Just objectively bad.

I really think the plea to ordinary Iranians is best understood as cover for later just destroying them. They didn’t do their part. So they die along with the regime.

Yglesias occasionally still posts something worthwhile. But he’s increasingly like a broken clock. And his “popularism” bit is plainly just a way to be a contrarian without calling himself that. 1/

20 years ago: “how dare you accuse us of being motivated by oil!” Today: “Jesus wants us to be ultra lethal, remove safeguards against civilian casualties, and to take their stuff”

This is a Final Destination death sequence

This is a tough battle of who I hate most. And I hate hate hate Duke. But Hurley edges them out.

Right in Bruce Pearl’s face.

This (the 25%) is pure tribal partisanship. Those voters specifically said they didn’t want this shit.

One general observation on Slotkin: I’m not in politics. I don’t see internal polls. But I struggle to believe that anyone could think that what Democrats want is to see their representatives bashing their own coalition. 1/

Radical centrists, anti anti Trumpers and contrarians say you have Trump Derangement Syndrome if this bothers you.

This has been happening for decades - I remember in the 2000s there was an absurd piece of widely held conventional wisdom that NASCAR was the second most popular sport in the country and would soon challenge the NFL for first

starting to get the sense that there is going to be a significant effort by the United States Government to conceal the extent of losses we're taking in the Iran War

State and regional identity is a massively important factor in any campaign's messaging strategy, you have to show you share or (if running for president) at least understand it. But there's no such template that's the same in AL and IN and MT and NM. The very premise is insulting condescension.

One of the most alienating "coastal elite" coded things you can do is act like everything between the Appalachians and the Rockies is one big blob of indistinguishable middle, as Slotkin does here.

Show up in Idaho or Kansas City and run a campaign on "I'm from Michigan, the middle of the country just like you" and they would eat you alive.

It is extremely wrong how Dems talking point on this is that paying TSA by EO is totally legal and he should have done it sooner. It is not legal, that $10B is only for border security and TSA is not border security. He's stealing the power of the purse, stop saying he should have done it sooner!

State borders just don't matter. With only a few exceptions, we're an archipelago of blue cities, a spectrum of purple suburbs, and red rurals.

Tatiana Tate spiced it up a bit tonight and Edwin got his 2nd save. I hope the Dodgers have her on call 🎺 www.reddit.com/r/Dodgers/s/...

This won’t be just weeks.

No it’s not. None of this is real.

I’m not voting for the Democratic version of “real Americans”, either.

Hike and the pet store for a bath and treats.

Trump would be happier in the traditional role for the First Lady.

They renamed the Secretary of Defense the "Secretary of War" and now they're embarrassed to say they launched a war. I don't understand these people.

Edwin Díaz gets a live trumpet for his entrance in LA

Carlos Santana helps Shohei Ohtani out with his helmet hair.

"actually, we, not you, are the authority on what you said."

Well, yeah. That wouldn’t be news to anyone who saw he took a field trip to Graceland this week.

We see this in every war, images and videos that serve as stark reminders of how life carries on, even in a war zone. An Iranian girl plays on swings at a beach in the city of Bandar Abbas as smoke rises into the air from a nearby naval base that was targeted by US strikes.

The Waymo used its turn signal, how I knew it wasn't from around here.

Someone was trying to take a portrait of their two fave Chickens, and this happened.

Talk about a lightning strike. Tonight I caught what might be one of the tallest bolts I've ever shot in #Pittsburgh, where you can see the entire thing, even where it exited the cloud from. Absolutely amazing to see in person, and one of my new favorite storm images.

I’d root for Russia if they played Purdue.
