watching my favorite christmas movie and what is possibly the great american comedy about class and race

And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die. He was unable to. He still walks among us, cursed to remember in a world where everyone has forgotten. He’s out there now, just beyond the light your lantern throws,

The WH comment Stelter is suggesting "60 Minutes" should've included, seen in his followup post to this one, was as responsive as someone saying "Deez Nutz" to the request for comment and would in no way have been included by any responsible journalist. Stelter knows this. bsky.app/profile/bria...

MLB's tech regulation plans give itself full control over who can do business with baseball. And I learned an AI scouting firm — founded by the uncle of an exec in Rob Manfred’s inner circle — may win a bid. Team sources and antitrust experts told me it creates a conflict of interest. NEW from me:

NEW: Ohio has just restricted mail voting, banning the so-called 'grace period' that allows mail ballots to come in the day after Election Day as long as they've been postmarked in time. This is likely to lead to thousands of Dem-leaning ballots to be rejected. Ohio is following Trump's demands.

Haha, holy shit. I'm starting to understand why Trump keeps pardoning major drug traffickers. bsky.app/profile/jule...

I have reached the point that any kind of “it’s the future, get used to it” response gets a unfollow from me. Don’t tell me how I should respond to a direct threat to everything I give a shit about, MFer

another day going to the website where I go to post “holy shit!!!” after an incredible TD catch, and reading about how the most powerful people on earth have perpetrated the worst crimes imaginable with no repercussions, all before finishing my coffee. this is probably good for my mental health

One of the things in today's newsletter: in 2019, a month before Epstein died, the FBI was tracking ten "co-conspirators" of Epstein's, one of which was my old neighbor, the New Albany, Ohio billionaire Leslie Wexner. First saw this via @rooster.info, but found them independently in the DOJ files.

Kids were here tonight. As a lark, I got each of the four of us one Powerball ticket. When I handed them out I said "now if you win, you gotta take care of me." Anna said "I'll give you $5 million." I said "the prize is over a billion dollars!" She said "$5 million is plenty."

It's not looking good for Leslie Wexner. New FBI emails, released in the latest Epstein Files dump, reveal Wexner was investigated as one of ten other "Epstein co-conspirators."

I have missed Phil Hartman for over 27 years, but never have I missed him more than after imagining him doing an SNL guest spot as Bill Clinton saying, "hey man, I wasn't the only notable guy on Pedophile Island!" bsky.app/profile/meid...

Matt Shaw could could have used any platform to profess his Christianity. He chose a Nazi rally.

Is this just United tickets? Because I feel like this map says more about where United flies competitive international routes than it does the travel tastes of anyone in these places. No one in the eastern US wants to fly United to Europe because that means flying out of Newark.

"Indiana Nights" is either a "Last Dance with Mary Jane" shoutout or the title of the worst CBS police procedural ever. bsky.app/profile/spor...

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Mayor Ginther did not specifically mention Somalis at all in these comments to which Miller is responding. He only talked about Columbus' immigrant community in general. Which makes it clear that Miller, a racist piece of shit, is targeting Somalis simply because they are Somali.

I've seen almost no national coverage of the Trump gestapo moving into Columbus to kidnap people over the past week or so.

Heartbreaking . . .

In today's newsletter I talk about Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw showing up to speak at the White Supremacist-Palooza in Arizona over the weekend. Short version: he's dumb and naive and I feel sorry for him but he's made his bed too, so fuck that guy. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

The other 60 Minutes correspondents should issue statements in line with/supporting Sharyn Alfonsi's.

Interesting how two big unsigned Scott Boras clients with reportedly weak markets both have an Athletic piece insisting a big money team should sign them even if they have to overpay, on the same day

This administration is going to crash, and we are going to get ONE CHANCE to fix things with massive structural reform. We have to start building support for that now. If we miss this moment more competent fascists will take power in the election after Dems win, and there will be no coming back.

Once again, one very easy way for the Paper Of Record™️ to escape the constant criticism which it has found itself subject to these last years would be for it to stop acting in ways that <completely justify> all of the constant criticism which it has found itself subject to these last years

No, New York Times, I'm pretty sure the man who got up on stage yesterday and said "we no longer have to apologize for being white" and who said America will always be a "christian nation" has firmly taken a side on bigotry.

This is the first item in the main headline stack of the Columbus Dispatch today.

I saw someone say that Matt Shaw might have issues with his teammates for speaking at the white supremacist convention in Arizona this weekend. Folks, have you seen his teammates? Probably a good reason Shota and Seiya aren't smiling here.

Looking forward to Hillbilly Eulogy

Anyone who talked up this fucker's book back in 2016 is the most pathetic mark in history, and a lot of us said so at the time. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Cubs 3B Matt Shaw spoke at this same event yesterday and, hilariously naively, talked about how everyone there embodied The Sermon on the Mount's "love your enemy" stuff and that he and his friends there were all about coming together positively for Christ. Welp. bsky.app/profile/atru...

My man Vivek knows very well that he's in for a very tough Ohio gubernatorial race for a lot of reasons, but a big one is that, thanks to the virulent racism of the GOP, Ohio Republicans don't wanna vote for a brown guy and a lot of them are gonna stay home. bsky.app/profile/carl...
