I'm not a sportsball person, except world cup, and well that's gone now. I'm not watching the sportsball today, but I am cheering on Seattle and not the Patriots...for reasons.

Go sportsball

Um. Remember when the Washington Post wasn't an example of the fear mongering insanity of breitbart?

Bad Bunny is an American not an immigrant ffs

How are we here?

I mean will education at any level exist in the USA by 2027?

Over on X, the Everything App, serious conservative thinker Dinesh D'Souza shared a video of an AI-generated woman on a fake podcast he seemingly thought was real, telling the audience that young women should get with older men. Dude, wtf?

America's leadership is led by the greatest of conspiratorial minds. Reality and facts are no longer important

Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.

I am speechless.

He really needs someone to care for him and take him home. This is not healthy

New Mexico Senate approves bill to ban ICE detention centers The New Mexico Legislature approved the Immigration Safety Act. House bill 9 bars the state from allowing ICE detention centers.

New Mexico's legislature just passed a bill that bans local governments from joining ICE's 287(g) program *and* from hosting detention centers. On to the governor.

Senate committee approves S-209, which has become a trojan horse online harms bill that envisions giving the government the power to mandate age verification and site blocking for a myriad of websites that go well beyond just pornography sites. @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social only one to oppose it.

Having literally written the book on the National Prayer Breakfast -- borne of the idea that God cares more for the rich and powerful than everyone else -- I can say this is the rare instance where Trump's grotesqueness is deeply appropriate.

The chair of the first law firm that bent the knee to Trump’s extortion and agreed to do pro bono work for him is featured in the Epstein Files, you say? Huh.

Washington Post is shuttering its book section, part of the ongoing war against literacy & knowledge.

We at Current Affairs want to pick up the slack by expanding book reviews. Writers: pitch us anytime! And if you subscribe/donate we'll use the funding to commission book coverage.

I am grateful that I cannot fathom the amount of hatred and delusion that motivates these individuals.

I can be a but much, but I'm not devoid of humanity, compassion, and basic intellect.

So, remember that Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire that told priests to get their wills in order because “we are entering a new era of martyrdom"?

I ran across historical precedent for that today.

It's from a radio transcript @rns.org produced about a Lutheran bishop in Denmark…

…in 1943.

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

NEW: A public servant got a bizarre voicemail after complaining about Ontario’s return to work policy

The voice was unmistakable: Doug Ford

Ford shared advice passed down from his mom: “You don’t like it, go get another job”

And then he hung up

Conservative MP Jamil Jivani announced he's leading a one man delegation to Washington on a US-Canada trade deal

Turns out his trade mission is not authorized by the Government of Canada

I asked Pierre Poilievre's office if he authorized or was even aware of Jivani's trip, but they never replied 🤷

Today's commute to campus is an adventure. After many delays I'm finally on a bus. No idea if I will make class on time. I am hoping to.

Then my thoughts will turn to, will I be able to get home?

My crazy day is nothing to what the gotransit folks are dealing with.

This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all.

I am calling on @icegov.bsky.social Director Todd Lyons to immediately confirm or deny the existence of a “domestic terrorist” database. If true, you’re violating the Constitution. If not, maybe talk to your “border czar” to get your stories straight. This isn’t a game–it’s the Constitution.
