Who dey? You dey, anyone dey, come on down and lay a beating on the Bengals

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

Just bereft that I’ve decided to skip this debacle

This is unconscionable. Photography and journalism is not a crime.

Could not give a decimal point of a fuck about tonight’s Bengals game. Cincinnatians, let us cast off the burden of gridiron misery and embrace a truly lovable—minus their dugout HR celebration—Reds squad that tomorrow will take on the my-goodness-gracious defending world champs. Let’s DO THIS CINCY

"one officer smiled for a selfie with her as she cried."

Good for Watson. Words that should have come from Trump since he was there the first day. But this is the kind of behavior he encourages.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck JK Rowling. So grateful I was too old for Harry Potter fever

j.k. rowling should be understood, first and foremost, as a misogynist. she just sometimes cloaks her misogyny by accusing others of sexism. see how she denigrates emma watson as an ungrateful, spoiled, bratty princess. this is solely because watson refuses to be a transphobe

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Recommended by Amazon. I’d about as soon hack open my throat with barbed wire. My gurgling bloody attempts to cry out would be far more suitable for human ears than anything produced by avowed racist/admitted wife-rapist/anti-vaccination societal hazard “E.C.”

Loom’s mascot spent much of this evening vigorously fending off sedation inside an “oxygen box” at the emergency vet. After five hours or so, the doc on duty turned us loose with an upbeat prognosis. This feral sweetheart lives improbably to seize another day

About to be the family that owns TikTok.

Dmitri Young! Dmitri Young reference!

TJ the fuck FRIEDL

ELLYYYYYY

This fresh American buffoonery knows no end. Napa? What is this, John Daly’s Ryder squad?

Fuck yeah Redlegs do or die time bring it on home

24 hours after Kash Patel releases a statement to “clarify” that the agents went there AFTER the riot was well underway, & Fox reported Trump’s claim was false, Johnson continues to intentionally lie about it on national TV. Maybe he should pray about why he lies constantly. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

@richarddeitsch.bsky.social Back in ‘92 I was still a youthful Jays fan, and I’ll never forget walking through downtown TO with my father as the city went crazy over that team going up 3-1 on the Braves.

if you simply do not like the vibe on this website, that's fine. i'm not a big fan of the "open cesspool of neo-nazis" vibe on X: The Everything App. but this ideologically-driven desire to present every person who uses this app as hysterical and unreasonable is kind of pathetic

the daily caller published a call to violence of the left yesterday, a news organization that has connections to the heritage foundation

Yeah, I’ll never forget navigating combat zones as I walked 25 minutes to a concert at Soldier Field

If you think Trump deploying troops in American cities is nothing more than an opportunity to pivot to a completely different subject, you do not belong in Democratic leadership.

God almighty we Americans suck so hard

Coming up on twelve years sober. This to me is nonetheless transcendent

I often say that conservatives want to repeal the various Civil Rights Act but it’s probably more accurate to say they want to overturn the Reconstruction amendments.

Throwback Loom! This album is so lousy that Peter and I have riffed on it continuously in the years since we wrote the piece. Now, the Stones are dropping a deluxe edition of the LP, which is a scandal. If you wanna know why, read on! writersloom.org/2022/11/21/p...

This isn't just about shutting down pro-immigration groups. It's about making regular people afraid to tweet, to talk to their friends, to show up at protests, to say anything at all. "I'm not famous. I don't have the money to fight back. I'd better keep my mouth shut & let someone else risk it."

headline in my inbox: "The War on Tylenol". Except that it isn't? It's a eugenicist war on pregnant people, blaming them and their medical caregivers for autism, which the eugenicists regard as a fate worse than death. Focusing on Tylenol hides that fact.

Anybody with anybody transgender in their life should advise them to get out of this wretched country as quickly as immediate means allow

Republicans don't want debate or compromise, they want trans people eradicated. That's the simple truth, they've openly stated that is their intent. Stop acting like this is a debate about tax policy.

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

People are going to die because of this.

Noelvi Marte!!!!

Gooooooo fuck yourself, JD Vance

We have podcasters running the FBI posting evidence on Twitter within minutes of a shooting without having all of the details and facts. This only sows more distrust in the investigation and allows conspiracy theories to run wild. We need the truth and accountability, not politicized law enforcement

I want to emphasize how unusual it is for an FBI director to be putting out evidence like this on Twitter within hours of a shooting. This is not normal. This is the kind of stuff that can compromise investigations.

This is nonsense

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

I’m pretty bleak about our, y’know, national situation, but I can always count on film historian and media critic Mark Harris (@markharris.bsky.social), who lays down the law about doomsaying responses. There are times when I consider a wry earth-scorcher of a comment, but I don’t wanna get blocked.

One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.

You tell ‘em, Chuckie! Sigh

Just what the nation needs, a little DHS office romance

So many crazy details in Ben Terris's story about Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, who we can confirm are not only dating but running DHS together: nymag.com/intelligence...

Dipping back into the Presidencies archive tonight, eager to hear a guest and Jerry (@presidencies.bsky.social) discuss the post-presidencies of some early chief executives. Good good stuff awaits open.spotify.com/episode/17ng...

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

I'm convinced their ultimate goal is to undo the Sexual Revolution. They've already overturned Roe. The other two pillars, birth control and no-fault divorce, are next, I fear.
