Filipino dictator bullshit extrajudicial executions.
1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat. Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable. Read expert analysis by @bcfinucane.bsky.social⤵️

State-sponsored child abuse, plain and simple. These f*cking people.
“Seven Hours of Commercial-Free Football Starts Now!”
What's fascinating to me is to see MAGA idiots complain about vaccines being slavery while other MAGA idiots are saying y'know slavery wasn't that bad really.
An outstanding essay! I graduated from a land-grant ag school (Colorado State), but that was much less important than outstanding mentors + coworkers, a supportive and very social (seriously) spouse, plus a few great bosses who let me grow. My career has been more than I could've dreamed in college.
I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"
"Who am I to tell you what your child should put in [their] body?" YOU'RE THE SURGEON F*CKING GENERAL, tasked with keeping the state's population as healthy as possible. Herd immunity is a real thing, and allowing parents not to vaccinate their children is letting the bad teammates ruin the game.
We were never supposed to know that so many powerful people were so unbelievably fucking stupid.
Haley Robson, an Epstein abuse survivor: “We have the truth. The FBI knows the truth. The government knows the truth. … We know the game, we know the players. And we are sitting here for 20 years waiting for you to get up and do something. Well guess what? Your time is up, and now we’re doing it.”
If you're aware of Western North Carolina, Cat.4 Hurricane Helene and the Linville Gorge ("the Grand Canyon of the East"), then surely you'll appreciate this outstanding first-person piece from longtime friend and former coworker Ryan Fagan. www.charlottemagazine.com/after-helene...
"Belichick’s cache from winning six Super Bowls as an NFL head coach brought a new buzz this summer to the ACC" The word is cachet ("cash-ay") #WordNerd
Worth noting and not for nothing: Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman has gone 16 appearances — facing 46 batters — without allowing a hit. If he retires eight more batters it would be the reliever's equivalent of Johnny Vander Meer's singular back-to-back no-hitters, 54 up and 54 down. (📸 Red Sox)
This might be the first year on record in which the U.S. population declines. Gee, who knew there'd be consequences to an unbridled immigration crackdown. 😑
Our Guy has so got a case of FOMO, the ass-kissing SOB.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
How long you got? The Lion King Dumbo Bambi Up Coco Finding Nemo Do the Toy Story movies count? That’s three right there! P.S. I’m an easy cry. 🥺
Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.
Put it on a T-shirt, get rich: Fuck common ground
He just doesn't understand. Common ground? Fuck common ground.
“Film things you see happening…Be loud for America” is quite the rallying cry.
me, reacting to about 97.3 percent of "I cooked this for dinner" posts with pics.
As a Texan whose family members lost their home in the recent flooding & are still struggling to clear debris & begin to rebuild, I’d like Gov Abbott to explain why our National Guard paid by our Texas taxpayers are being sent to Chicago instead of helping residents here???
Pritzker is doing two things here that are smart. One, he's describing this forcefully and unapologetically and in his own terms, not adopting the Admin/media frame. Two, he's making clear that he will blame the Admin for any violence or disorder sparked by their invasion of his state.

Gotta stay prepared. Keep dosing.
Welp. Here's the deal: There's no U.S. city more likely to turn bloody over something like this than Chicago. There just isn't.
*In my best old man shouts at clouds voice* More teams should do this if their analytics defend bunting. So many bad efforts at crucial points late in MLB games. (In the form of an old joke, tourist on NYC street: "Excuse me, how do I get to Carnegie Hall?" NYer A: "Practice, practice, practice.")
Studies repeatedly show that most people age out of "hardcore" crime by their late 30s and 40s. And nobody is "born to be" a criminal. Even Trump, who is a hardcore criminal who has not aged out of his illicit behavoir, was not born like this. I blame his parents.
Typical Trump move: Declare something as if you, Dear Leader, coined it when it's actually been around 75 years. 😑
It's where the propulsion systems for the Saturn V and Space Shuttle were made (though the nickname goes back further — to 1950 when Werner von Braun's German rocket team was based there). Yeah, Huntsville, Ala. … go figure. www.huntsville.org/blog/list/po...

USF boat-raced No. 25 Boise State in Week 1 to become the highest-ranked Group of 5 team in the new AP poll at No. 33 (in "Others Receiving Votes"). Its reward: at No. 13 Florida this week and at No. 5 Miami next week. 😳

Come for the headline, stay for the explainer.

This is the one that hit me: Defiance + Chicago-specific humor rolled into one protest sign. 💪
Jacob: "Chicago has another fine quality: resilience. It survived Haymarket, the Pullman strike, and the Great Fire of 1871. It survives Malört on a daily basis. It can survive whatever Trump does to us."

One of the definitive days of this admin imo was the WSJ identifying racist posts from a DOGE staffer - the kind of stuff that would be read out loud to you as HR explains why you're not getting severance - and Vance saying no, we won't let the media cancel people anymore.
purposely obtuse
we're doomed
2 guys've been working on how to hang it for 25 minutes. I want to open a beer, walk up and say, "Can I tell ya something?" Liz says sit in the yard across the street and occasionally pipe up with, "Nope, still not right." Can you imagine being a firetruck driver at 2am "I CAN'T READ WHAT IT SAYS!"
"You know, for a really long time, owning other humans was totally OK."
The neighbors' address number is 26. The huge new home's address (above the front porch) is being hung now. It reads: Twenty Six. To repeat, the address number is a 2 and a 6.
Oh shit! Amy they probably didn't tell you, you don't get the Double Secret Premium Payola Vacations until at least your tenth year on the bench. They don't know you like that yet. ask Clarence he'll tell you
TCU's social team is in midseason form, as friend and @sportingnews.com coworker Teddy Ricketson pulls together the trollmanship. (Is "trollmanship" a word? I don't know, but because of TCU's social team "trollmanship" *should* be a word.) www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-foot...
Dear Leader's regime will not tolerate dissenters. All allegiance to Dear Leader, who by the way sure seems to want to bury the Epstein Files. Man, it must be REALLY bad.
🤝 You're a good egg, T.
Absolutely, unabashedly real. Classic CEO thinking.

Data-center construction — booming because of investments into artificial intelligence — is expected to drive up electricity bills a whopping 8 percent. Shouldn't AI be able to figure out how to use less electricity and cut our energy bills?
Dude who stole the hat — “Ah, yes, I took it. Yes, I did it in a rush. But as always, first come, first served is life.” — is apologizing now after the deserved blowback. How do you say, "Pound sand, asshole" in Polish?
Just swell. Back to work after the holiday and Slack is encouraging me to "Explore AI in Slack," which I'm not interested in right now. But the 'X' in the upper righthand won't let me to close the bubble that floats up and down with my scrolling. It only expands to a larger bubble pitching AI. 🤬🤬🤬

Someone here said Obama should demand Trump's death certificate.
So worth a rewatch. So many layers. Just masterful. Looking forward to Sterlin Harjoo’s next, “The Lowdown” on Hulu. He says R-dogs was his love letter to Rez life. New one is love letter to life in Tulsa.
Oh m’Lort!
A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.
That series may be the best thing I’ve ever watched, no kidding.
Text book. Guards out, back shifts ball to outside hand. As my HS coach would say, watching film, “After that it’s just hey diddle diddle!”
I come from a family of public school teachers, but only my mom was a union member. And, wow, was she a union member! National, state and local (president in Littleton, CO). She did it because she saw her dad and grandma work with no benefits or retirement plan to help kids. #UnionStrong
Yeah, the grandkids were here for the third day in a row. Dog, tired.
C Harry Ford call-up 🤝
This lady asked our children to eat vegetables and exercise and nearly a decade after her husband left the White House, some doofus is comparing that to the worm-brained, philandering eugenicist putting the entire public health establishment to the torch.
What size dumper?
The thing about those 600 minors being deported is none of them were in the Epstein files like Trump is.
.. sleep tight, and pleasant dreams to you. Here's a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true. And now 'til we meet again Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehn GOOD NIGHT!
Yeah and they chose a time that’s like 7 hours earlier than when he’s drugged up and power POSTING in the middle of the night. SAD!
"How do I look my self in the mirror" is something I think a lot of government employees engaged in tearing families apart and ruining lives need to consider Maybe that's why so many of them are wearing masks.

Why did Hollywood studios decide not to make Weekend at Bernie's III? Because they became too woke.
That’s amazing.* *You were reading the Wikipedia page for Trek Bikes. 😉
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

Hooboy. Delay of game out of halftime then a drive that eats half of 3Q.

NEW: Lee Corso's final College GameDay episode was the most-watched episode in show history. It averaged 3.5 million viewers and peaked at 5.1M when he made his headgear selection. Shatters the former high for the show which was 2.6 million viewers in Nov. 2007: www.nytimes.com/athletic/658...
