Opinion | The Sweeney ad 'controversy' is cancel-culture bait β€” Democrats beware The Sweeney/American Eagle ad discourse offers Republicans a familiar line of attack on well-worn culture war grounds.

For @msnbc.com I wrote about the Sydney Sweeney ad and how tired I am of everyone ascribing every little social media comment from a left leaning person as an official position of the Democratic Party.

(Please read and share, I wrote this on my vacation this week)

PCA meteorologist Matt Taraldsen: "The fires that are burning in Canada are burning both above ground and below ground in the peat bogs, and they're not going to be put out by the time winter falls. So we're thinking that winter is going to be what finally puts them out."

I think of this often when I'm selecting things for my writing students to read, and I often end up excerpting things so they don't feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of pages and ideas.

your kid doesn't need a fucking online AI tutor, they need to sit in a classroom, ideally one where some kids are a little farther ahead than them and some are a little farther behind.

Good christ. My neighborhood became a ghost town. Slumlords bought up so many houses too.

it was basically un-buildable, because gehry's process is pretty much the Simpsons gag about balling up the piece of paper. After it was done there was a big brouhaha because the steel reflected the sun so much into surrounding apartments that i think those people might also have sued lol

I once had a document review job in a lawsuit between the company that built the Walt Disney Concert Hall, another Frank Gehry joint, and good god.

this is an absolute twenty alarm fire and I just cannot bring myself to believe capital, in one way or another, isn’t going to reel him in on this.

we can’t have a real economy without the goddamn labor numbers. it just doesn’t work.

very dumb, very bad! @votealexlee.bsky.social, this is surrendering rather than taking a stand on principle. this is losing, not having integrity. Neville Chamberlain, not MLK.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
The very wonderful and talented Lara Trump, whose show is a big ratings success, put racist sleazebag Charlamagne "The God" (Why is he allowed to use the word "GOD" when describing himself? Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I used that nickname?). He's a Low IQ individual, has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth, and knows nothing about me or what I have done - like just ending 5 Wars, including a 31 year bloodbath between Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, where Seven Million people have died, and there was no end in sight.
He didn't know that, or India and Pakistan or, wiping out Iran's nuclear capabilities, or closing the horrendous open Border, or creating the greatest economy, where prices and Inflation have come way down, and where STUPID and CORRUPT JOE BIDEN set the record for doing the Worst Job as President, EVER. But this dope, Charlamagne, would vote for Sleepy Joe or Kamala? Remember, one year ago our Country was DEAD, now it's the "HOTTEST" Country anywhere in the World. MAGA!!!

I remain baffled by his career β€” unfunny on SNL (where his biggest contribution was constantly breaking during sketches), bland as hell on late night, just a talentless suckup

It doesn't get much more John Roberts than the trajectory from "don't worry about us ruling preclearance unconstitutional when Section 2 remains in force" to "whoops, come to think of it Section 2 is also unconstitutional"

Rolling Dub Trio - Casper - Black Chromexcel A thing of absolute beauty, the Casper Side Zip bootΒ  in Oil Black from Rolling Dub Trio is made from a single piece of USA Horween Chromexcel leather that creates a beautiful seamless upper that sit ...

i wore them relentlessly for years until i decided to do the patina project, where you wear a pair of boots for 6 months straight and document how the leather ages. i am aware this is ridiculous and i do not care (plus the boots are dope. the teacore black wears away to brown underneath.)
