I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well

I’m not a big curling guy, but I get the significance of this, and WOW it’s mind-blowing. Some are calling it the best shot in curling history! #TeamCanada at the #ParalympicGames.

How Not to Measure Poverty Some notable errors in some recent writings by some important people.

New post! I take an in-depth look at a viral op-ed's dubious math on welfare benefits and Sen. John Kennedy's efforts to define away poverty:

Nothing says “we are liberating you from a bad regime to give you a better life” like bombing desalination plants and oil refineries

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Marco just addressed the audience in Spanish, after meekly asking for Trump's permission, and this is how racist Pete reacts, followed by a hearty laugh.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Immigrants took our jobs when they're here, and when they get deported, the jobs vanish with them? these liars are delulu

This show, man.

Markwayne Mullin is the same guy that hid on Jan. 6th same guy that tried to grab a sign from Rep. Al Green and the same guy that lost his temper and challenged someone to fight outside a congressional hearing. Yep still at the bottom of the barrel.

Meet the new Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin:

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

We need better Democrats.

Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.

Me: apologizing for apologizing for apologizing

That senator from Montana: oh, you’re a veteran? Let me break your arm.

Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) breaks the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran at the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.

Marine: "No one wants to fight for Israel!"

"I asked God to forgive me, which he has."

Honestly this is the biggest perk of serving in Congress. Most people have to ask forgiveness and wonder. If you're in Congress you get a same day answer from the big guy.

They voted to gut the state’s climate law, and are on track to lose their election tonight.

With Us or Against Us, Again Congress didn’t authorize this war, and the only response to questions is a loyalty test we’ve fallen for before.

Afghanistan started at 92 percent approval. Iraq started at 71. Iran started at 27. The "whose side are you on" rhetoric is identical. The country underneath it isn't. I wrote about how the framework works, and who's deploying it. www.readtpa.com/p/with-us-or...

Literally the thing every MAGA repeated during the campaign, no more wars, price of gas, and the Epstein files, it was all bullshit.

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Trump: "See that nice drape? When that comes down right now you see a very very deep hole, but in about a year and half you're gonna see a very very beautiful building. In fact, it looks so nice I think I'll leave it and save money on the doors. I believe it will be the most beautiful ballroom."

The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace

that's my guy

‘He Is Basically the Goop That’s Inside a Lava Lamp’ Chris Fleming is every comedian’s favorite alt oddball. Is the rest of the world ready for him?

one thing about this Chris Fleming profile I forgot to mention: it contains an embedded out-of-focus video of an iPod playing a recording of his high school jazz band drum solo, which he convinced a band teacher to let him do despite never before playing drums

“CBS still seems chill to me,” CNN’s media correspondent writes as the head of CBS News tweets a flame emoji in support of Trump starting a war with Iran

The Country That Starts the War Is Wrong That's us.

"We are wrong because we started the war" should be the anchor point for all coverage of what's happening and it's remarkable how quickly that tends to get obscured.

Mean girl meme but Iraq: Regina George saying “So you support Saddam Hussein?” then a flipped image of her saying “So you support the war in Iraq” then back to 1st image “So you support Ayatollah Khamenei?"
