There’s an essay to be written about how maga patriotism is just shitty fandom. Anyone who follows sports knows fans like this, it’s always the ref’s fault, the other team doesn’t exist, there’s some plot/player/coach holding the team back otherwise they’d always win easy bsky.app/profile/atru...

I applied for a substitute teaching job in my town and I had to have transcripts sent directly from my college.

A carveout for CDL drivers for specifically beer distribution would be quite something. Especially when transit agencies across the country are struggling for qualified bus operators.

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

good journalism is when you start with a presupposition (the shooter's motivation was transgenderism) and then just make up stuff until people believe that's true

Major sliding doors moment of my life was deciding whether to follow my college girlfriend to CT where she was moving for work. I did not.

Every time I visit Connecticut I'm shocked that anyone would opt to live here voluntarily

Except for physician assisted suicide but yeah

Wow no way

This being said, I don't trust anything this FBI says about the motive here

Headline and lede from Time magazine (did not make the magazine cover) with a generic headshot of Minnesota House speaker Melissa Hortman that reads Minnesota Lawmaker Melissa Hortman Killed, FBI Hunt Suspect Jun 15, 2025 — Democratic state Rep.

Headline from time with a photo of Charlie Kirk at the event where he was murdered, smiling and waving at the crowd.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
