I wished Billy a happy birthday the other day and we were lamenting Kimmel’s firing. So I’m not taking credit for this essay but I’m not NOT taking credit for it. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Democrats, you don’t have to make your good communicators president! You can just put them in leadership positions. Stop letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I sincerely hope no one is hoping for her to assert independence; our best hope is she slow walks his worst requests until he moves on

“Travis, I don’t care, I want to wear WHITE to the wedding!”

Sixteen years and counting of a career dedicated to being the fleeing guy in the goose meme

I read three (THREE!) articles today that boil down to: “Bluesky is just an echo chamber of the same voices patting each other on the back over and over, and to prove it I talked to Nate Silver, Noahpinion, Ezra Klein, and Bari Weiss”

John Roberts's "there's no such thing as corruption" and "the president has the right to use the DOJ as his personal law firm" jurisprudence is really working out well for us.

To all of you who are cancelling your Disney+ subs and selling your Disney stock - I applaud you. If I had a sub, I’d cancel it. If I had stock I’d sell it. It’s sad to see them bend a knee to a dictator. If you don’t believe we’ve just shifted out of a democracy - You. Are. Delusional.

I'm a single issue voter, and my issue is "the government shouldn't be fascist."

In times like these we need more Bad Medical Takes

Nope, they have a taste for human flesh now

@whimsician.bsky.social Seen outside the Minnesota State Fair.

A Trump appointed judge just blocked the Trump administration's efforts to hastily - & in violation of the law - deport Guatemalan children. And the judge specifically stated that the Trump administration's explanation for how and why it was deporting the children, "crumbled like a house of cards."

meanwhile we're halting science that could have cured cancer. cool.

No matter what he cancels he can’t cancel himself off the Epstein list.

Jamie Lee seems so out of touch, maybe nepo baby status + title of nobility have finally ruined her. I was never going to watch a Murder She Wrote reboot (lord knows never watched original) but now actively rooting against it.

Normally I’d say this kind of thing is hyperbole but somehow it isn’t. ⬇️

under this language charlie kirk would not have been allowed to speak on clemson’s campus

must be something wrong with my internet, I just woke up and tried to find the massive Democratic party pushback to all these attacks on the first amendment and nothing's coming up in my browser

Chief Justice Snowflake wants a participation trophy

I feel like reelecting the guy who tried to overthrow the government last time he was president, and who ran on a promise to pardon the people convicted for trying to overthrow the government on his behalf, was maybe a bad idea.

I cannot believe how many liberals take this idiot seriously.

The man should not have been shot, and even though I’m used to being disappointed by centrist pundits, I’m genuinely shocked by then whitewashing over the past three days…

“The person they wanted” hmmm

He’s actively trying to get people killed now.

Phew, it’s a good thing he’s dialing down the political temperature.

Even when announcing they caught a suspect in the murder of a friend, ratings is top of mind

The aging, latent police reporter in me can't help put pause to remark on the unforced error of the SAC in Salt Lake's FBI field office making the unforced error of announcing they have recovered a “footwear impression.” A shout-out to toss or destroy those shoes, ASAP. That's a detail you keep.

I remember this morning 24 years ago, listening to the radio as they covered one plane hitting the World Trade Center and then another. Never forget. I’ll pretend the flags at half staff are for the 3000 souls lost that day.

I do not celebrate the death of a man I admittedly disliked immensely. That said, whatever the motivation of the shooter, stronger gun regulations would have made murders like this less likely and that would be a good thing.

Finding that "President Trump has not stated a legally permissible cause for Cook's removal," District Judge Jia Cobb has issued a preliminary injunction preventing Trump from removing Cook from the Board of Governors while the court dispute continues. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Totally bizarre for the WP to treat this as a plausibly contested fact. There's a multi-decade conspiracy to plant this forged document in the book? Consider the totality of the evidence. Come ON.

When someone writes the history of the fall of American democracy, the shadow docket will get its own chapter

WAPO, Page One: “It’s the toughest time in years to be searching for work in America.” @washingtonpost.com

Interesting AI/thought experiment

often this "you're going to find out" bit is due to him either having no idea what the reporter is asking about or no idea what if any plan is in place

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE SAYS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WAS AN FBI INFORMANT IN THE EPSTEIN SEX CASE

12,000 manufacturing jobs lost. Weren't tariffs supposed to bring jobs home?

Sadly, being a survivor of assault does not grant one additional wisdom, intelligence, or political insights. I hope they DO start naming names.

Hard hitting tech insights from the mind that brought us “be best“

Our neighborhood #freedc gatherings are still going strong! 8pm at the corner of 17th and C St NE. Kids, old folks, American & DC flags, pots, pans, bongos, noise makers. “Honk to free DC” “Fuera Ice!” It’s not a huge crowd but it’s an earnest one. All forms of resistance welcome!

Today at 10:30 in DC: military flyover. Also today in DC: Opening of congressional hearings on Epstein victims. Likely coincidence. #freedc #listentothevictims

Had to walk by National Guard with AR15s this weekend on relatively crime-free DC streets while multiple states have record crime waves www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...

I loved Graham Greene from the first time I watched him in Clear Cut so many years ago He voice was iconic and his talent absolute Sending so much Love & Light to all of his family and everyone he cared about "There is no death, only the changing of world. Chief Seattle" 💙🐺🪶💙😢

No joke. Homeschooling should be illegal.

If we are in a simulation I can only tip my hat and offer my respect to the Programmers on this one….

I don’t usually recommend people to follow, but Dr. Love is *excellent.* I highly recommend her quackery-debunking YouTube videos for @wired.com as well!

I’ll take the points! Thanks Spirit for a great Pride Match!
