Imagine if the headlines were "NEC refuses to answer questions about trade war" or "Hassett unaware of basis of Trump's policy shift"

I've long been irritated with Ken's politics but he's finally made a right call. Still, let's all remember his podcast host.

This headline presumes that the administration actually suspects these people of smuggling drugs, which there is no evidence for, and ignores that this would be illegal anyway.

"yeah, just do, like, a black circle over it, like a sun, and then maybe some cool jagged rays coming out on all sides, and then a circle around all that"

The nyt is basically "but have you seen the West Wing" over and over

So now Rand Paul is okay with skipping trials and having executions as long as the government has some evidence. Very flexible libertarianism, that.

And in one month they will all be members of the "Republican Youth," which is completely subsidized by the GOP.

NYT OpEd: "Perhaps winning the Nobel Peace Prize will help President Trump become a better president."

I hate that Iain looks like Morgan Wallen but is actually just sweet. #GBBO

I solved the Sunday 10/12/2025 New York Times Daily Crossword in 20:32! fpx3r.app.goo.gl/PKC4

I'm not saying that every post has to be alarmist and political, but the NYT choosing to promote absolute nonsense like this while downplaying our current crisis is unforgiveable.

To be clear, MAGA wants to ban transgender care, make it illegal to use chosen pronouns, prevent trans kids from playing in intramural sports, and legalize conversion therapy. This dramatically increases the rates of self-harm for trans and queer kids. The GOP wants our kids dead. No compromise.

Love this.

Okay, watching this one tonight, kids being weird really bothers me so this is going to be a trip. Edible time?

This is what terrifies me. As much as we're seeing, and as bad as it is, we know we're not seeing everything and there's not reason to think we're even seeing the worst.

The fucking framing here... No one says Democrats lost the immigration debate, we just lost the election and now the fascists are handling immigration in a way that everyone hates

It's fucking insane to me that the GOP is willing to cause serious economic harm to this country to avoid releasing the identities of sex offenders. But that is literally what is happening.

Best purchase ever

Assumption of risk is a great affirmative defense here.

I hope Cam Ward finds a way to switch teams again soon, the Titans don't seem to be a good fit. But is he the kind of person who would switch teams for selfish reasons?

Chris Hayes continues to have the absolute worst political instincts on the planet. I don't know if this is hopium or just needing a hot take, but the speed is exactly what is allowing them to be so destructive so efficiently.

The best revenge will be reusing the term trump derangement syndrome for whatever aggressive syphilitic brain damage this idiot suffers from

I feel like I should get warnings about things like "we all need to know who Aidan Hutchinson is now"

This would be disgusting even if the valks weren't such a great team to watch this season

God that game was close, so proud of this team, and a great night to get to wear my #17 jersey #storm Next season!

@smfriend.bsky.social 😬

I don't usually care much about what people say after someone like RR passes, but I find myself preemptively angry about whatever Trump is going to do

I gotta hand it to the French protestors for this one. Did not expect...

Yes, I'm just imagining the trans sniper up in the clock tower, sights trained on him, listening to the broadcast audio and waiting so patiently to see if the shithead says the magic words... Very plausible, you incoherent evolutionary backstep.

Finnegan's taking a day off due to mild illness

I love collinsworth saying things like "if I recall" as though he doesn't have an index card in front of him saying "your name is Chris"

@smfriend.bsky.social I'm glad we have four days to recover from that game, hopefully the Sparks and Fever start tanking...

I know this isn't the right post for me to start bitching about bisexual visibility month, but c'mon guys

Tired: Losing a spacecraft because of confused metric/imperial units Wired: Losing a spacecraft because no one knows how much a bushel of fuel is

Happy birthday to this blessed generation bsky.app/profile/redd...

News like this makes me want to start believing in hell

@smfriend.bsky.social thank God, but that was a coin flip...

I do this thing where I know words to songs but don't actually process them, so years later I'm like "oh shit, that song is about X." My wife thinks this is hilarious.

Where are the creationists on this one?

Normal DC traffic has the chance to do the funniest thing

On top of the very tangible financial, medical, and physical harm these sociopaths are causing, the sheer psychic trauma they are inflicting on the whole country is becoming debilitating

It's amazing to me that so many people think we need a "Joe Rogan on the left" and then spend their days name dropping political philosophers and debating whether something is neo-colonialism or post-colonialism.

Isn't it crazy that qanon just completely vanished all of a sudden and no one seems to care? I mean it's a good thing but.... Weird
