Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

Oh and remember there’s also an Arizona congressperson the GOP won’t allow to be sworn in because she’s a Democrat. Her district is now without representation which is highly undemocratic.

It looks bad, so bad

If you’re in really good shape they do exploratory MRIs to see if there’s magic inside

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

Lots of folks don't seem to grasp that, yes, you can take socialist ideals too far, but you can also do that with capitalism. Which is what has currently happened in the US.

Also, there are a bazillion examples of socialist policies implemented in other countries to great success.

Ugh

Black clouds of smoke hanging in the sky over suburban houses.

I thought the dark smoke was a storm coming in. A UPS plane crashed on takeoff. #Louisville

Lololololololo

My guy has had it with his electorate lolololo

I'm really sorry to have subjected all of you to all this NYC posting but it's really been the most breathtakingly ugly race, particularly given that Mamdani has the affect and manner of a Sesame Street character

Happy "god willing, we never have to hear from Andrew Cuomo again" day!

- buy a pack of four skin-on chicken thighs and a small cabbage
- salt and pepper thighs heavily. arrange skin down in a small oven-proof pan. Put it on a burner, turn the heat to medium low, set a timer for 30 minutes. HANDS OFF. Don’t fuss with them.
- set your oven to 450f.

Well... he should let his fellow GOP lawmakers know.

"you don't know what it was like, kid. the streets were like nothing we'd seen before. bread, cheese, meat... we faced it all. you'd be walking down the block, saying hello to the locals, then BAM -- sandwich slams into your kevlar. the smell of mustard and onions... oh god! I can still smell it."

same.

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

'Federal prosecutors opposed Dunn’s lawyers’ motion to dismiss the charge, writing that Dunn was “recorded throwing a sandwich at a federal officer at point-blank range".

POINT BLANK RANGE. A SANDWICH. LMAOOO

"Some people you don't satirize. You just quote 'em." - Tom Paxton

Prosecutors should be required to have the poor little cop testify in court about what exact harm he was afraid of, and what his level of fear was. Make him come out and say "I feared serious bodily harm from a sandwich."

Currently relitigating modern American history.

Fifty-two years ago, in a bold PR move, the White Heritage Foundation dropped the word “White” from its name. This “Don’t Say It Out Loud” strategy has been employed by American institutions with great success ever since.

Armed troops will soon be coming to where you live. You’ll feel safer then. Or else.

CBS News under Bari Weiss. I can't help but think of @sallyjenx.bsky.social's post on here a few weeks ago defending Weiss. We're already seeing the dangers of Weiss's leadership at CBS.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

Oh great the Republican Party is gonna be anti soil now.

"we can rip out the very marrow and heart of government as quick as we want, whenever we want, but if you make us turn any spigot back on that we don't want on, it's just gosh darn impossible, judge"
