This has been coming for months. NPR deserves what they are getting today.

I am certainly not going to support an organization that can't even accurately identify its own murderer.

I will be supporting my local independent community radio station instead.

Badge of honor

"A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world.”

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

Anyone using engagement to gauge what they should post anywhere is ceding editorial control to the dumbest, loudest people.

Engagement is a terrible metric for the value of a thought, idea, concept, piece of art, anything.

It's bad data, don't listen to it.

Unsubscribe from the New York Times and don't play their stupid fucking word games.

its pretty scary that twitter is a real nazi site is that politicians and journalists are going to keep using it and it will continue to have an outsized influence on our politics and media environment

I think revenge would be the most successful message and almost no candidates will try it

I'm so glad you posted this because I gave up on season 3 but might have to dive back in

I keep on believing he's going to try and play this year. Curious if the Browns try to stop him and how that unfolds.

For 6 months, Dem leaders have downplayed or refused to frontally address many of Trump's worst abuses by saying those are "distractions" from the Dems focusing on economic issues. But as Trump's tax bill is being voted on, Jeffries is attacking a Dem ...over a phrase that Dem doesn't even use.

last night the republicans passed a budget to turn america into a nation of roving masked thugs and concentration camps and this is what democrats are doing still on sunday morning news programs instead of telling their interviewers to shut the fuck up and stop changing the subject

Thanks for not getting distracted, bro.

Lily is part of a polycule so big she never has to buy dinner

Simon wakes up at four am every day and puts his little doggy face in a cold bowl of water

He hasn't come right out and said it, but I think that man's goal is to coach at every FBS school.

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

Any political candidate not in favor of packing the court can take a walk, end of story

Birthright ctizienship is good and essential and we're going to need a second Reconstruction to undo the combined damage of the Roberts Court and the second Trump administration.

This is the clearest way to describe American politics right now.

In 2052, is Matt Damon gonna reshoot the end of Saving Private Ryan?

just so everyone knows, literally at the exact same time JD Vance started trolling on here the NSC was having a meeting on Iran

he's angry that he got sidelined to the kiddy table and decided to lash out

genuinely pathetic stuff

So logically those houses and their markets should be in some way constrained over the next 10 years because if no one can get a mortgage, demand is significantly reduced, right?

So housing prices are going down, right?

....waits....

Fun that my first thought was smoke instead of thunderstorms

On this date in 1918 Eugene Debs gave one of his most famous speeches, one that would see him imprisoned. https://welcometohellworld.com/you-who-have-your-lives-to-lose/

Pritzker's willingness to speak over these fascist pigs is honestly a great endorsement of his suitability to lead in this moment

Raised in captivity, that's the phrase I keep coming back to

In another timeline, NPR, whose existence is under threat in a way unique amongst its peers, could have lead the resistance to this regime, pushing legacy media to the side to meet the urgent moment.

In a way, they deserve their fate, having rendered themselves inconsequential and disposable.

The Republican Party is defunding this news organization TODAY and they still cannot bestir themselves to accurately render the day's events.

Our institutions are worse than cattle in the chute, too dumb to know the next bullet is for them.

The sole criteria I will be voting on in the 2028 primary is which candidate credibly promises to put the largest number of Trump officials in prison. I do not care about any of their other policies.

Aka "Beloved baseball columnist David Roth invokes a pandemic with this one weird trick."
