The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

So maybe the forecast of rain and thunderstorms for tomorrow morning is accurate. 10:50 tee time is “questionable.”

That is popular because it has four vowels, but D and U aren’t all that frequent. You got me thinking, so here is the frequency. My educated guess was better than I had imagined.
Ed Butt (@edb1947.bsky.social) reply parent
I doubt that ATONE will be the word, but it has the three most likely vowels and two common consonants.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

There’s basically one Republican seriously raising a red flag about RFK Jr.’s dangerous insanity, and it’s a Republican who was dumb enough - or weak enough, or both - to vote for the nutter in the first place.

On Aug 23, 1945, weather forecasts, which had been banned during the war, reappeared in Japan's newspapers. That same day, the Asahi Shimbun published an editorial titled A Reflection on Our Own Guilt A short 🧵 on journalism and fascism (for our friends at the NYT) in the wake of Japan's defeat

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?
