Fuck yeah.
Worth noting that Republican elites ratcheting up young Republicans’ extremism for short term instrumental reasons and then losing control is now a decades-old cycle.
Looking forward to telling my students who live in Boca (and I'm pretty confident didn't vote) that they could've picked the mayor.
The consistent story told by this account's replies is that we are getting to them.
Yes. It's weird for people to think the demand for AI slop is some kind of terrible change when we've had YouTube for 20 years. Of the mass of "Investigation Discovery"-style cable filler channels for however long.
NO NO NO YOU DON’T
GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA

Lock them up.
*take, goddamnit
Me, a guy who wears a hat all the time, when the third-rate, outer borough scumbag president won't talk his fucking hat off for literally anything:
Does the cat have a strong enough arm for the left side of the infield?
Chourio sat as a precaution after getting plunked on the hand and William Contreras didn’t do much, but the energy was great y los venezolanos ganaron. #WBC2026
Lots of Jackson Chourio jerseys in here.
"Nobody questions the success of the military operation."
It is logically impossible for a military operation with no objective to be successful.
"I did all kinds of criminal fraud but only because I'm an enormous sucker. Please put me in Congress."
We're only going to win in November by nominating moderate narco communists.
It's interesting that Tillman feels comfortable framing $700M/mo as "massive" when a completely voluntary war of aggression is costing $1B/day.
Tokyo Dome is packed and loud for the first game of the WBC between Australia and Taiwan, and I'm hoping the same or more for the Venezuela-Netherlands game here on Friday. I hate sports nationalism, so I'm supporting the Aussies, who should really be the Ballabies rather than the Southern Thunder.
A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime
Counterpoint:
#20YearsAgoToday, I shot this clip of Nada Surf at the Annex in Madison. I wasn't a huge fan of them, but they played for two full hours(!), including an eight-song encore(!), and I didn't get tired of it, so maybe I was?
God I wish that said Jared Moskowitz instead of Greg Landsman.
"I can repair this irreparably broken thing."
Another key way these stats bros track the use of analytics in sports discourse. When was the last time you saw a confidence interval around a player's wRC+? We don't talk about uncertainty in sports analytics because projecting certainty & precision is more valuable than doing best stats practices.
Talarico also has an official Spanish-language account here, which posts less frequently but is original material, not just translations of English posts. Interestingly, Crockett's official House account posts here more or less daily, but the campaign saw it as an afterthought.
An interesting datapoint that ties in the meta-discourse about What Bluesky Means: Crockett's campaign barely posted here, while Talarico's posted frequently, with multiple accounts. JC's had two original posts and a repost in the last three weeks, JT's two accounts posted five times just yesterday.
I'm glad these people decided on "WAR" as their preferred term, even though it's a conceptual mismatch for elections, because the way they talk about it is just like the way people who know only superficial things about baseball analytics talk about WAR.
Dems in the Colorado House should make it publicly known that such a move would be followed immediately by impeachment proceedings.
Three years ago, I bought tickets to the WBC championship the day before for about $100 each. Right now, the cheapest tickets for this year's championship game are more than $400.
