If I were a Senator, all my questions for RFK Jr. would've been about steroids. -How long have you used steroids? -Come on, who are you kidding. Is it HGH? -When was your last drug test? -Have your testicles shrunk from steroid use? -What meds did you use to prevent shrunken testicles from steroids?

Good night
Oh my god I forgot about the Pac(1)2
My ultimate guess is, they thought they could pass off callous laziness in the name of competitive advantage, as funny as that premise sounds today.
If it’s “we couldn’t respond by hastily putting together a special edition uniform and fundraise off the merch because we only had 3 weeks to work with”, my inner Tim Gunn will short circuit
We’re going to get some variant of “uh we couldn’t, contractually” and my god the preemptive embarrassment
This… smells.
(Breath in, out) I will not be writing @thedailynu.bsky.social over this (Breath in, out) I will stop rewriting this nut graf in my head
(Eyes closed, slow deep breaths)
I understand we’re supposed to forgive pettiness when it comes to competitive edge, and we wouldn’t be talking about this if the game actually was close. I genuinely hope the people with power to decide were more clear eyed about whether being petty was going to eke us out a win today.
Still thinking about this. I was upset, and bummed but not angry. Now I want heads to roll.
critically: it’s just as important to know a guy as it is to be a guy that someone else knows
no way they made the Michigan car an import
Wooooww this was short sighted
Seems to be a professional response based in trying to avoid psychologically scaring children by messing with literal heads
Well now all I want to talk about is Jon Hamm’s character in S4 of Fargo
After watching the last few years of South Korean politics, I present a wild theory: it’s entirely possible that the president’s inner circle is based on a fortune teller’s physiognomy consultations
There's a real disconnect between the heroic image that industries prop up for marketing purposes and the sad reality of their consumers. Kyoichi Tsuzuki's book "Happy Victims" shows the real lives of people who buy high-end designer clothes. I see a similar issue with guns.
I actually thought he was a Penn State alum for absolutely no reason (well maybe some insinuations)
They’re doing the funny thing for the funny reason and I am here for the mess
North Koreans do not tolerate wrinkled portraits. The half-assed esthetic is what makes this distinctly American.
Alcaraz goes from hot to not so quickly depending on what haircut he’s got it’s weird
The man loves to prep for meetings
I’m interpreting this question as “what are some areas best enjoyed without the bus tour crowds” and honestly I think an evening or early morning stroll through a quiet Arashiyama might fix me haha
Rock Looked Way Cooler Wet
Here is a better photo (Getty) and also some words on an emotional weekend in D.C.: www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
Maxton Schexnailder???
What's actually gonna happen is they're gonna have to spend months gutting it to remove the listening devices and fixing other security breaches and the New York Times will run an A1 feature on how much "taxpayer money" the Dem president is spending on it like it's a huge scandal
AI Boosters live in vagueness - so force them to get specific. Don't accept them suggesting *you* need to work out why ChatGPT is good: we buy software for its utility! We are the customer! *Make them explain themselves in detail!* www.wheresyoured.at/how-to-argue...
This guy hauled a police barricade onto the 2/3 at Penn Station, then politely asked me to take a picture and airdrop it to him
If nothing else, I think this is a neat symbolic closure of the Morty Schapiro era.
New — I wrote about the violent assault on a DC delivery worker this morning by masked federal agents, and how these agents have made the disturbing turn from quiet thugs to playing for the cameras.
The Internet was once a shining beacon of potential and opportunity. Then it was destroyed. My latest newsletter is over 10,000 words about how it happened, who's responsible, and how we can build a better, fairer Internet. whatwelost.substack.com/p/how-the-in...
incredible framing that they blame a decrease in tourism to a place that attracts international travelers — a decrease seen in identical amounts to other, similar places, like Orlando — on "woke"
Here's how NYT explained that TRUMP'S FUCKING DEFENSE ATTORNEY went to meet the sex trafficker who "stole" his spa girls, turning one into a sex slave. No mention of his name, no mention of his role as defense attorney, no mention that sex traffickers don't go to prison camps.
There will be anti-car protests, trying to stop you from paving paradise and putting up parking lots. The game: store.steampowered.com/app/3031880/...
Imma need a shower after this one. Double cheeseburger with egg on two toasted uncrustables
Captain Underpants over here refusing to leave his cell
my advice to the democrats that are asked about this is to simply reply to the reporter “what the fuck are you talking about” as this will be the reaction by 95% of registered voters when their maga family members bring it up
Adding to wishlist lmao
(don’t say it, don’t say it): Joe Rogan with huge breasts.
Pretty insane that the president is raking in hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes from all over the world, and AOC is paying fines for wearing a dress for one night at a charity gala that she “only” paid $1,000 for www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/n...
Being in tech and having a single modicum of critical thinking is just screaming "this isn't what LLMs are designed for" over and over as people shove a bunch of word predictors into critical decision making processes because some glorified used car salesmen told them it would fix all their problems
Genuinely: if you have ideas along this front, pitch me at @cipolicy.bsky.social. The last time I launched a lefty foreign policy blog we opened with a case for transitional justice, and it's vital, democracy-preserving work I'd like to continue at the IPJ. fellowtravelersblog.com/2018/03/13/a...
So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...
Which, in turn, follows the flow of economic development where the cost of disposable materials is now considerably cheaper than its equivalent in labor
Tbh this was true back when restaurants kept delivery riders on staff. Between mobile platforms charging separate delivery fees and restaurants switching to disposable serving bowls, I don’t think this culture exists anymore
The Korean version of the Verizon guy was a comedian trying to deliver jjajang to remote corners of the country
This came out five months ago but new people keep discovering it every few weeks and make it go viral. That's nice and all but the unfortunate part is that we still have no idea whether this guy is still actively working for ICE because ICE won't say.
It would be helpful if someone started creating a database with badge numbers and ID for all the ICE agents caught on video. Just in case we ever get the chance for a reckoning.
“Cringe” relies entirely on having a perception based understanding of what you want in life, no thank you
Cities aren’t loud CARS ARE LOUD
if anything, the deluge of military equipment that has poured into America’s police forces over the past couple decades has made them more cowardly, not less Uvaldes everywhere you look
I don’t think Japanese people understand that their 8AM is more like 10 AM everywhere else in the world
Not entirely surprising that the last remaining unions in America seek solidarity with the white ownership class more than, say, labor.
The National Association of Realtors Fund (based in Chicago) just reported a $69,000 independent expenditure ad spend in support Sara Nelson's reelection campaign, the largest single IE spend for a local race in Washington so far this year.
Why is it these kind of stories seem to drop every week but it seems to never hit a level where major media adds them up and declares a pattern?
"My dad licked batteries," not exactly the ironclad defense you think it is, friend.
Real discussion: CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me? CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking
here's a death you can actually mourn www.whec.com/top-news/roc...
Dear Jeff Bezos …
"MAGA has made a religion of patriarchy. In many cases, this toxic vine is wound deeply through their actual religious practices of fundamentalist Christianity. If that is the theory, pedophilia is the practice." Very good, very blunt essay
Do you remember how embarrassing it was that the NYT got the Mamdani Columbia admissions thing from an open and proud Nazi who goes by the handle "Crémieux"? That guy isn't a hacker. The hacker uses a handle containing the n-word. The NYT, is exactly the paper you'd think it is.
An unbearably sad statement from the Editorial Committee (SDJ) of the AFP news agency, please read: "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die. AFP has been working with 1 writer, 3 photographers and 6 videographers, all freelance, in the Gaza Strip… /1
This is what happens when you take funds from public schools and give them to rich people.
My introduction to his work: youtu.be/K3uWj2MpydI?...
NY Times showing how to both sides the secret police abduction squads story
If NYT editors think the VP and a pardon recipient saying they stand with the president is newsworthy, they can put that low down or on the front page. “Embattled” v. “Unifying” is based on anecdotes. Could easily do either (or neither). Nothing objective in that. All judgment call. A telling one.
men without hats played the safety dance to start their set and before their last song they said “we dedicate this song to everyone who arrived late” then played the safety dance again
Take as an example Dick Durbin's letter revealing that Bondi assigned ONE THOUSAND people to review Epstein files, working 24-hour shifts. This is devastating whistleblower testimony. James Comer builds years long campaigns off less. www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
So @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is a Republican and the Dems need to find a new leader yesterday. This is like Lindy Li being Kamala's finance director. We got foxes in the hen house. Dump him.
ABC fired a guy for saying Miller was fueled by hate.
The same company that's buying CBS (and needs Trump's approval to do so) is also trying to buy Bari Weiss' website. It's a political decision.
I learned a lot at the elite institutions I attended (despite being Asian and poor). I loved my education. But once I was at Harvard I could no longer avoid the reality that the quality of pedagogy was not the important part, it was the proximity to power that I was locked out of by virtue of birth
Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz: "I'm not going to answer any questions about the Epstein files, or the radiation belt, or whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone."
The first few times I saw this quote I assumed it was a joke written retroactively to sound as bad as possible
If the Washington Post's new opinion editor is "Advocating for free markets and personal liberties", will it include scrutiny of Amazon's monopoly + data surveillance of customers? Probably not, because they're not free market, and they don't care about personal liberty. Orwellian corporate-think.
"But it’s actually about the policy issue I’ve probably spent more time writing on than any other in my career in journalism: the two-tiered system of justice and accountability in America, and the impunity we afford the nation’s elites." prospect.org/justice/2025...
Galas are gateways to crackhouses
Grok is still calling itself Hitler as of today. Maybe it's time for Democrats and progressive organizations to leave. grok.com/share/bGVnYW...
I'm sure if this was a white military historian making a similar point about the kamikaze pilots, these guys would make the same misreading, right
The point of politics is not to chase opinion, it’s to shape it, and then do something with it
About that record-high share of Americans saying immigration is good for the country: The surge is primarily driven by *Republicans* changing their tune. Rs have become much more positive on immigration than they had been before Trump took office.
Every single humouring of Elon musk, every single time he has been gladhandled, every single time his horrible actions have been explained away as the result of being a "troubled genius" have led us here: a crazed billionaire with a Large Hitler Model deployed to hundreds of millions of people
I cracked up when the cameraman zoomed back in on the butt for a third time
In my opinion, the real problem is that no one has even really tried to organize a boycott of X. Certainly, no organizations, coalitions, or national leaders have attempted to lead a boycott. From where I sit, it feels like a failure of the progressive movement across the board.
honestly if there is any single idea i could get people to understand it is this one. or to put it differently, the same features of the american party system that allows a mamdani to win a prize like the NYC mayoral primary also makes any top down control or disciplining very difficult
it's a testament to how american political parties are less some set of structures and institutions than they are the totality of public perception, media coverage and casual impressions
The New York times is in the same business as Chris Rufo
It sounds like Japan raised the motion to amend the agenda? I bet “went unprepared, fought and lost” works better domestically than “backed out from the fight”.
“Product of white flight suburbs”
I miss NBCSN 😭
NYT’s standard of news judgment has been compromised. As a consumer, you deserve to subscribe to better.
If your supplier stops agreeing with you on what is and isn’t worthy, you need to find a new supplier.
