If the sandwich don't split, you must acquit.

What an excellent werewolf!!

I'm a political junkie and can confirm that they did not. It was trump *saying* that Democrats are obsessed with environmental and LGBTQIA+ issues. Since the media covers trump and his rallies obsessively, people thought it was true.

support whomever you’d like, but what is frustratingly dishonest about this take is that actual issue — the thing critics have identified as the problem — isn’t the decision of the 21-year old to get the tattoo, but of the judgment of the 40-year old who still has it.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

That’s so exciting!!

Can you link the article?

Woof.

one of the worst fucking things in the world is the move to call sincerity and care "cringe"

fuck that shit. let's build a political community based on care for one another.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Pat Murphy quoted Shakespeare in his pregame presser, so we have clearly reached the delirium stage of MLB’s postseason in record time.

somehow they managed to do the free press but worse

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

Nope: “Brewers transaction: RHP Erick Fedde cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville," McCalvy said. "Fedde can eventually be postseason eligible for the Brewers. But he can’t be on an active roster for 15 days unless replacing someone who gets hurt in the meantime."

I still don’t get why he wasn’t DFA’d over Fedde. He needs time.

Great decision

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

Every major publication in this country needs to have dedicated staffers or correspondents reporting on gaming, streamers, podcasts, and TikTok. Not as a once in a while thing. As standard beats. These are massive segments of American culture. No excuses for it anymore.

Lord. USU is rural as all get out.

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

She recently wrote an article for wired that was full of half truths and blatant hypocrisy that sort of blew up in the liberal and leftist circles.

I don’t think platforming Taylor Lorenz is the best idea at this time, but you guys do you.

JUST NOW: Donald Trump is booed by the crowd as he arrives at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the US Open men’s final

This is painful to watch.

"Graphic from the NRA with a red border and dark blue background. White and yellow text states: 'The NRA supports the Second Amendment rights of all law abiding Americans to purchase, possess and use firearms. NRA does not, and will not, support any policy proposals that implement sweeping gun bans that arbitrarily strip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights without due process.' The NRA logo is at the bottom. The tweet caption reads: 'The Second Amendment isn’t up for debate.'"

Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.

Your Labor Day reminder that if the minimum wage increased at the rate of inflation & productivity since 1960 it'd be $28 today—not $7.25. Meaning—billionaires & corps have stolen at least $21/hour from working Americans for 60 years.

We don't suffer a lack of resources—but from an excess of greed.

Yes, the stakes here are large. Very large.
