Dick Mac (alive!)

It will be like this long after he is gone. He has dismantled the federal government and he has three more years to finish the killing off the rest of the country.

They did pick it up. They did know about it.

If you ever think the US media is unbiased, please watch this #Olympics footage from the Canadian Broadcast Company. NBC edited out the boos for JD Vance while Canadian media reported it. You know, honestly.

Fuck JD #Vance and Fuck #NBC. #MAGAt

Can anyone find and post the names and nations of the judges at this Olympic competition?

I would love someone to post the names and nations of each of the judges so we could post their pictures and shame them every four years. A new tradition. You know, like the Olympics.

So disappointing to see that Lapp Dogg was invited to the #Olympics.

I did this today: my fastest time to solve The Mini Crossword puzzle at @nytimes.com

Seventeen seconds!

Actually, yes, they would have. One only need look at Vietnam to realize we always lie about war. If what you described did happen, we would have been lied to for as long as they could get a way with it. Bush was garbage, Cheney was worse.

So much garbage at Paul Weiss that they are now enjoying celebrity with Trump AND Epstein. They capitulated to Trump, and now it looks like things are messier than we could have imagined.

As a67-year-old American, I seem to not know many Americans or remotely understand American culture. Knowing what I do know, I think most Americans might actually prefer the latter. Sad, I know.

@totalsoccershow.bsky.social Hi guys. Maybe I missed a nuance in the discussion of the top MLS players going directly to European top-flight clubs. If I remember correctly, Tim Howard went from MetroStars to Man Utd and played as the starter for their summer tour that year.

I don't agree historians will be stunned, they've seen thIs throughout history, in the USA.

If those were the choices, MJ would be my choice.

If they are letting Trump's team play, they might as well let Putin's team play!

Congregation of St. Mary of the Rosary stained-glass window depicting St. Brigid holding her lamp.

Today is the feast day of St. Brigid of Kildare, a patroness of Ireland and considered the patron saint of abortion. She was born in c.451. It is said a nun had become pregnant and “Brigid, exercising the most potent strength of her ineffable faith, blessed her, causing the child to disappear.”

I think we forget that WSJ was purchased, and therefore is owned, by News Corporation; the same people who own Fox News. What’s most amazing is that people still read it.
