WBAL in Baltimore helping viewers understand the difference between watches and warnings
premier league doing one of those things where the Big Ten gets, like, 15 teams in the tournament but all of them are Iowa
oh no
i think you can just embrace this one. it's not a gateway drug to something darker. what else are they hiding from you? nothing. and who is they? "they" is, I don't know, sportswriters.
i like the "wilt didn't actually score 100" conspiracy because it's a rare conspiracy that does not inevitably spiral into antisemitism
I'm going to share this story one more time, because I think the problem it describes -- being unable to determine what is true online or in the news, and just giving up entirely on trying -- is going to get more and more common. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Bodo are inevitable
i understand why Mike Johnson does whatever Trump wants. it's incredible to get dog-walked by *this*. Arguably one of the weakest men ever to hold a constitutional office in this country. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
what's striking about Andy Ogles is less that someone like him exists, but that he can elicit this absolutely pathetic kind of comment from the speaker of the house: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
the DHS jet should be raffled off to one lucky American every day, like the old Sweden twitter account www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
was there a better approach than putting Andrew Giuliani and Kristi Noem in charge? we'll never know
kind of funny that ostensibly the whole purpose of Gianni Infantino becoming Trump's one true friend was that it would make the World Cup run smoothly, and Foxborough can't even get appropriated DHS funds defector.com/bostons-worl...
there's a class at yale law where they teach you how to make *that exact face* while making shit up
being out of a job is really something less the bare minimum consequence for a Defense secretary who cheered the end of rules of engagement after blowing up a school. certainly a place to start tho.
captures a very in-plain-sight difference between 2017 and now: people mostly aren't really doing Cletus Safaris anymore. to understand Trump 2.0 they're going to places that offer caviar bumps.
Oh man one of my favorite Stars & Stripes headlines just turned 10
"Mr. Trump has displayed growing frustration over how the war is disrupting the oil supply, telling Fox News that oil tanker crews should 'show some guts' and sail through the Strait of Hormuz." He's got to tie himself to the mast. Leaders lead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...
trying to come up with a way that these gas prices are actually being caused by wind projects I don't like
oh i completely forgot about that
it is our destiny to finish second in every group, and Iran could reasonably finish ahead of new zealand and egypt
kind of impossible to imagine the dynamic this summer, and yet: "Iran could meet the United States in a knockout game on July 3 in Dallas should both teams finish second in their first-round groups" www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/w...
looking back on the 2022 world cup when the US played Iran and, while the situation in Iran was terrible then, it was just good competition and sportsmanship on the field. lasting image of Antonee Robinson with his arm around an Iranian player afterwards. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/w...
generally i think people in congress should avoid doing things that further the impression that congress is fake
(not the only takeaway)
bam adebayo??
oh it's public domain
okay i'm markedly less bullish on the relegation/UCL double
came to play
