Republicans voting for whatevs Mango Mussolini wants...
"Tired & crabby" with a big grin is my go to. Just enough cognitive dissonance to stymie further chitchat.
And their constant doubling down on the stupid.
They know they’re breaking the law. They also know the courts will be slow to call them out on it. Meanwhile they get to do their damage and get the military used to domestic incursions. This ruling should halt any plans they have to invade Chicago. It won’t.
Just the intentionally dumbest people....
Again???
Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Pretty small
Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.
Trust me, the HOAs are glad to be rid of them….
Who sez no??
What will be the deranged reason given for this idiotic move? That they might recommend vaccine research or something? RFK Jr. must be removed from office. It’s him or us.
What's your poison of choice this evening?
BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)
True statement. #ChefJoseAndres had better get the #NobelPeacePrize before the other guy....
Pretty neatly sums up the 21st Century US... brilliantmaps.com/prisons-jail...
I would like every Democratic office holder to learn to use these words: "Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired."
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Reading an article titled "Why didn't Brazilian democracy die?" and a key part of the story is a Supreme Court that actually did its job

Your daily reminder that Republican Senators can stop this any time they want. They’re choosing not to. They prefer this. And they prefer what’s coming next.
Really curious what #LawSky professionals think about this. Might be an interesting tool to hold back AI theft... www.nature.com/articles/d41...

we need to accept that (a) reality is now completely negotiable and you can choose which ones you want to live in; and (b) the reality that the people broadly enjoying power in the country at this moment is, by design, almost 100% opposite of the one you occupied or still occupy
Ohhhhhh. Here I was blaming some of the other vet QBs they brought in for not being better mentors, but it was instead baked into the velvet glove coaching!
Wow...
NEW: Hundreds of current and former HHS workers have sent a letter to Robert Kennedy Jr. responding to the CDC shooting. The letter asks that he stop spreading misinformation that endangers their lives. It also asks NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya to stop undermining mRNA vaccine technology.
One of the biggest cultural issues we have is that no major media or journalistic institutions have been reinforcing norms of what things *should* look like. That corruption isn’t normal, that cronyism isn’t normal, that lies and scandals should be punished, that incompetence is disqualifying.
Really interesting thought... #LessIsMore ~~> www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
We estimate that his approval is net negative in 36 states plus DC
oooooooooohh... The Peanut Bar.....
Are the mRNA vaccines incredible? YES! Are the mRNA vaccines perfect? No. Have the mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives? YES! Can we make the mRNA vaccines even better? YES! Can we use mRNA vaccine technology to prevent and treat many other diseases? YES! Fund mRNA research!
Nice use of #GenomeSequencing to suss out the microbes responsible for yumminess... #Science ~~> www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Exactly as it was designed.....
Hey, guys. Guess what we’re not talking about any more.
God save the Brits…

After the EVEN STEVEN Kickstarter ended, I left LATE PLEDGES open. So people who were just a little late could still order the book. But LATE PLEDGES go away at midnight PDT Aug 14!

The Truth About Washington DC
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Why are people like this being taken seriously? Just the stupidest timeline...

Washington DC has 702,000 people, is 45% Black and has 0 senators Wyoming has 590,000 people, is 86% white and has 2 senators DC needs a state with proper representation, not a military takeover
It was so good, then just disappeared!
#ChinaCrisis is the draw for me. Almost drove 6hrs to see this in Cleveland. Saw some clips on YouTube from the NYC show. Looked like a fun time!
Great answer!

Trump is thinking of “taking over” DC. And all I really was thinking is
Science is effectively dead in the US for at least the next 3½ years, and will then take another several years to even get started again. Canceled research doesn’t just uncancel itself, and scientists who find opportunity elsewhere won’t just come flocking back. The damage is generational.
Micah Beckwith holds government office, yet doesn’t understand the constitution. What an embarrassment.
Comment is dead on -- "I hope Jim Irsay has taken up spectral residence in Ryan Grigson’s closet and haunts him until the end of days with never ending renditions of Yellow Submarine." #RIPJimIrsay

Wow — REPUBLICAN Rep. Thomas Massie points out the hypocrisy of Republicans crying foul about Texas Dems leaving to stop Trump from stealing 5 seats in Congress as Speaker Johnson and the GOP flee Washington to help Trump cover up the Epstein files.
I'm really not even against hunters, I know there are people that eat what they kill and are respectful of nature. But the wealthy going off hunting in Africa? Fuck em. Every last one could be eaten by lions, I don't care. Unless that would make the lions sick that is

Still got a ways to go to add the DAVID AJA pin-up to the EVEN STEVEN book. Still got a few days to do it. Can't do it without YOU. Support the book. Make a difference. Make #EvenStevenEvenBetter www.kickstarter.com/projects/122...
Long overdue! @conroyroth.bsky.social took as much joy in pointing out #Superman movie scenes were shot in #Cleveland as I did seeing this honor.... www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/a...
Hey Nate, tons of (deserved) focus on QB this camp, but the Ahmed injury yesterday was the first I'd heard much about the running game. How is that looking? Is the unit melding into road graders like in the past??
I for one do not believe that Sydney Sweeney appears in the Epstein files, but there’s really only one way to be certain.
Yeah, that's been a complaint since the very first event there. Hopefully as they build up the area around it they can sneak in another exit or three....
No one should get a quarterly bonus for denying folks needed healthcare....
Adult kiddos really enjoyed it! They are #IndyFuel ticket holders & said it was by far the most crowded they have ever seen the venue

It took me way longer than it should have (15 years!) to see that Howard Beale was not a hero in NETWORK. I wouldn't call him a villain, but he was a madman left unchecked on purpose so his handlers could profit from his lunacy. We have several of those today. Some are villains; none are heroes.
