Trump Threatens to Resume Nuclear Weapons Testing, Minutes Before Xi Meeting

There is something purely evil about mentioning ashes of war while in Japan and then talking about restarting nuclear weapon testing program soon thereafter. We must be better than this.

Surprised Marmalade Mussolini hasn’t burned The Constitution yet

Between Ordinary People, A River Runs Through It, and Quiz Show…Redford had a nice variety of films he directed. I forgot how talented he was there. RIP Robert Redford

Confusion, Anger, Relief: Korean Engineer Tells of Week in U.S. ICE Detention More than 300 employees at a Hyundai battery plant returned home after being detained in a Georgia immigration raid.

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage.
Trump just killed his "build America" push www.wsj.com/world/asia/c...

Hard to watch MN Vikings this season. 7 of 8 quarters have awful.

US Soccer doing pregame fire show leaving players from Mexico and US to play in heavy smog is so on-brand stupid of US soccer.

Curious on this one. If you aren’t from the US, do you sing your national anthem or chant it (like it seems Mexico’s national team does)?

If anyone had to suffer a major injury tonight in the NBA Finals, why couldn’t it be Stephen A Smith?

National airport in DC is now paging Samantha Marie Harper non-stop to beg her to call her mother. I hope it is about homework, who she’s dating, or if she fed the cat before leaving.

Met Metta Sandiford-Artest (World Peace) today outside my hotel. Seemed the nicest person. Wish had remembered to thank him for being open about therapy. Bet a ton opened up after that.

Well done Lincoln Project

Nike should either pay Thibs NOT to wear their gear or get Thibs loser fitting clothing.

The good news for Tatum is the bar is really low. His recovery from his injury can’t be worse than Achilles’s.

I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but the orcas now have two F/A-18 Hornets

Karen doesn't want these Knicks fans to have fun... 😭

Pretty certain JJ would rather lose his way than win.

Cleveland is beating Miami’s ass so badly that Greg Anthony is asking his broadcasting teammates if they are into Zombie TV shows to kill time with half of the 4th left.

Marco Rubio Kills State Department Anti-Propaganda Shop, Promises ‘Twitter Files’ Sequel With the Global Engagement Center shut down, the State Department is now set to investigate whether past US efforts against foreign propaganda amounted to censorship of Americans.

The Global Engagement Center, a State Department unit that called out Russian and Chinese propaganda campaigns, has been shut down.

Watching Dook lose is the best feeling. Somehow it feels even better that it was based on an awful call going against Dook (no way that was a foul on Flagg on the ft rebound). Enjoy a lot of time thinking about that call Dookers.

Who puts out more “Karen” energy than LSU coach Kim Mulkey?

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

This seems not good.

I think at least 5 Lakers have been hit in the head during tonight’s game vs the Bulls. At least DFS, LeBron, Luka and Vando have gotten smacked (though Vando by a teammate). I have to assume Reaves got hit in the head as well because he’s Reaves.

Juju :(

Not a single mention of the absolutely enormous rallies headlined by Sanders and AOC on the front pages of the NYT or WaPo. I will leave contrasting how they covered the "tea party" at this point in 2009 as an exercise to the reader

I don’t watch a ton of ncaaw basketball, but that game made me want to watch a lot more.

He’s missed about 5183 3s (including playoffs) or a minimum of 21.60 miles. Combined that is more than 38.27 mile or 61.59kms of 3 point shots. (Was hoping it would be 66.66kms but no luck).
