Amazing how every single detail is basically something The College Football Internet predicted 10 months ago, yet also a baffling surprise. This shit was DOGE: The Football Staff. Big Bels

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

Choosing to announce in the Post is a signal!

we just updated the story: it looks pretty certain that the Coney Island casino is also dead in the water.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON November 9, 1968 Dear Messrs. Smothers: I am very grateful for your kind and thoughtful letter. To be genuinely furiny at a time when the world is in crisis is a task that would tax the talents of a genius; to be consistently fair when stand-ards of fair play are constantly questioned de-mands the wisdom of a saint. It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists. You have given the gift of laughter to our people. May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives. If ever an Emmy is awarded for graciousness, I will cast my vote for you. THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS Sincerely, Lyndon B. Johnson

I know Bluesky is the right place for me because all the dudes I least want to hear from ever again hate this place the most ❤️❤️❤️❤️

the waves of disgust that hit people when they realize trump probably drew small breasts on this because they’re not talking about grown women

Some liberal New York Times columnists are listened to more than others, no way to know why.

same with Pink Floyd on Roger Waters' last albums. They make you feel a guy's pain before he descends into lazyminded evil.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Feels like an evolution of Dumbest Podcast Guy model, where the listener’s every point of ignorance gets reflected back as free thinking

Yes. He was disappointed that his fans weren’t excited to see Adam Ant on stage!

Hey, has anyone else (cis or trans) been gender-policed at U.S. Open restrooms? Feel free to DM here or email jmkliegman@gmail.com. Trying to see something, potentially for a story. Please consider reskeeting my query!

Just a reminder, DC folks! We're gonna have a great group of folks together running from 14th and U NW to the White House and back tomorrow (Monday) at 10am. All running and walking paces are welcome! @therunchat.com @51st.news @wcp.bsky.social @washingtonian.com

Columbia was core to my experience year 1 (I was an employee, not a graduate) and I lucked into a fellowship for a few weeks around my 20th. Just awesome to drink in the old neighborhood

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

Of course!

if anyone wants to read a voicey complete history of wwe all the way up through the pandemic, my book is available everywhere!

HL. The goal is not to be perfect, the goal is to use a store like this dramatically less.

Ed Note | State Law Compels BlueSky to Block Mississippi IPs Ashton Pittman writes about how Mississippi’s social media age-verification law prompted BlueSky to block access to Mississippi IP addresses.
