The thing about Pete Hegseth is that he'd make a terrible fictional villain because there's nothing fucking there. He's just a dumb, hateful blowhard and has seemingly spent his whole adult life like that.

Nothingβ€” and I mean nothingβ€” about this decision is more than the bare desire to harm.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Right? How many people are going to watch this ....in the Sphere?

Like why are we so annoyed by something we're never actually going to evaluate in person and hurts no one

People are pretty upset about this in the comments, but I bet in the sphere it looks incredible. We honestly don't have to be angry about everything all the time

We are failing to meet the promise of this country's founding documents, and it hurts all of us.

I haven't been paying close attention, but what's the deal with Diggs? Does he still look like the same old guy?

This is uh...quite the graph. Probably needs just a *bit* of context

What really annoys me about the Wehrmacht admiration both institutionally and individually is the American army executed operations, offensively and defensively, at a pretty goddamn high level from 1944-1945, why not really admire that?

This is a weird take. Literally half of the replies were agreeing with you

I feel like the narrative around the bullpen is hanging around from the beginning of the season but at this point is just objectively untrue. They've actually been very solid over the last few months. It's a little tough to capture a good screenshot but here's the last 30 (BAA, whole staff)

Lol so you're just gonna commit to that take huh? A guy who sits shooting the shit with friends normally gets Netflix specials? And then a sitcom after that successful special?

Seriously, it's allowable to just admit that your take was stupid. You genuinely don't have to dig in just because

This is, uh, something. First of all, you're literally responding to Sarah Spain.

Second, You can feel free to not like his comedy, but do you think that Shane Gillis is a new comedian that hasn't spent 5-10 years on the road? He earns about a half mil per show. So... people think he's funny

It's not a "trade agreement", bc POTUS can't make "trade agreements" on his own, & every media outlet should stop being lazy by using "deal" or "agreement" & instead do journalism & explain to readers that all of this is wildly illegal & not how it works.

Joel Embiid sees you In what he's calling his "most important" offseason, Joel Embiid responds to his critics.

Very well done story on Embiid, in which he opens up quite a bit. Worth reading in full before reacting to some of the quotes that will probably get attention. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

Just this week, the 79-year-old president hallucinated a lie about the Unabomber, forgot he appointed the Fed Chair he hates, blanked on names of officials, fell asleep at a rally, threatened to strip Rosie O'Donnell of her citizenship and spun wild theories about his good friend the pedophile.

Sort of curious to know why EVERY Republican in the House thought it necessary to block the release of files that their Attorney General assured them do not even exist.
