Nice

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Thank you!

A Eugenio Suárez grand slam makes it 6-2 Mariners

SIXTY home runs for Cal Raleigh

Simply the greatest regular season by any mariner ever. I have no idea how to put it into context. Go crazy folks.

JOSH NAYLOR CLEARS THE BASES!

THE @MARINERS LEAD IN THE 8TH!

Kids, do not cover your ears. Open them as wide as possible to catch every word

The Seattle Mariners.

I can’t

And Americans just accept it. All this money, all this wealth, and they accept grinding, day-to-day shit.

Just tapping the sign again, I guess:

I'm honestly not sure what to do about the media consensus that Democratic politicians are responsible for everything ever said at an obscure academic conference but Republicans are not responsible for the rhetoric of Republican presidents

Reminder: The mayor in Jaws was still the mayor in Jaws 2, which takes place 4 years later.

Local elections matter.

This is the exact thing— these people are just going for broke and achieving personal hatred goals because yolo? They can fuck all kinds of shit up & walk away smiling because we don’t do consequences for government people here

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening. If you want a story, get me the story about the crisis comms team directing this. He ran anti-constitutional blitzkrieg thru the federal government, did massive harm, violated ...

As usual every US economic graph is just another way of telling you when Reagan was elected.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

it is because they want to impoverish the country! they don’t want high end manufacturing. they want americans working subsistence wages making t shirts and clothes hangers

Some voters got mad about people listing their pronouns, so now we're sending law-abiding, legal immigrants to torture prisons and being hit with the largest middle class tax hike in at least 40 years.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

We are more back than we've ever been

(1) If it’s a statutory challenge: convince Congress to pass a law.

(2) If it’s a constitutional challenge: try to amend the Constitution.

(3) If that fails: rally voters to elect politicians to do (1) and/or (2).

(4) If that also fails: question whether he is wildly popular.
