The breakfast wanters...
coherence matters in policy, especially ones justified on moral grounds. if you're saying "we must defend Ukraine from aggression" while sending bombs to Israel to murder children and journalists you sound (and are) completely full of shit and it deflates the entire project
an immensely frustrating part of Biden's grotesque approach to Gaza was that it gravely discredited an otherwise a fairly solid foreign policy approach. arming Ukraine, ending the Afghan war, stopping a coup in Brazil, patching things up with the EU, etc, and then he impaled that for Bibi
A team with a 39-99 record trying to administer an “act like you’ve been here before” object lesson is absurd
how long till we find out that wasn't even the right boat
you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later
Ah, I see Nicole G . is at it yet again..
Gather round kids...
"Look over there, the space force is moving to alabama!" lmao LOSER shit
I do love that “only rich white people wanted COVID lockdowns” is still a thing among this set despite study after study showing the opposite is true
If “Blueskyism” is making fun of puds who act like the smartest boy in the room despite not knowing anything I’ll take it
TMW you have a physical in the morning..
The BLM protesters weren’t looking for CDC guidance before demonstrating against getting murdered by police, hope this helps
Worst of all worlds. We got an incompetent response to the initial outbreak, which then spiraled out and made the later responses less effective, and yet somehow also the saintly and benighted People have taken this to be what Democrats would have done and wanted to have done and that's a lie
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was Donald Trump actually handling the first nine months of COVID and somehow Joe Biden and Democrats got tarred for everything Donald Trump actually did, shittily
partly because the Fed gov't keeps passing these spending bills with no strings attached to the states so the latter had no obligation to actually get HVAC filters or better windows, etc.
This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.
The right is pushing this narrative because it’s the only place they can blame liberals — their actual goal — and gain purchase among elites. The *actual* mistakes during the pandemic all originate on the right: lax lockdowns, weak mitigations and low vaccine uptake
a shame that the highest profile reporter on online culture has been cooking in poster's madness for at least 5 years, almost certainly longer
I was doing something super heroic and cool before I got in a car accident, please do not look into this any further
lol, stop putting liars on TV!
New York’s hottest club is Blame Zohran Mamdani for Crimes Committed While Eric Adams Is Mayor Under Laws Signed by Andrew Cuomo. It’s got everything—corrections officers who aren’t registered to vote in New York City, etc etc etc
Devin Williams should be in the jail from FACE/OFF
His hand looks worse than Trump's
Thing I learned as years gone by working in the business is that former pro-athletes have the worst memories, it's not even close.
is it ok to admit I had one of these trash cans back in the late 90's?
I've watched this ten times already
Did you know Andrew Cuomo was given a nepotism cash-in influence peddling job as a young lawyer with a law firm which represented Donald Trump? But yeah let's go with the "Bronx Tale" origin story instead www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/n...
Another delightful, stress-free morning spent watching Manchester United Football Club
YOU THERE, BOY, WHAT DAY IS IT? why sir, it's 9/11 *rushingly putting on cap and overcoat* I HAVEN'T MISSED IT!
had the Secret Service detail look going..
me at 21

There's gonna be video of him golfing by 9am tomorrow, isn't there?
The Mets scored 19 runs, tied for the 2nd-most by a team whose SP was making his MLB debut since 1900 9/9/1921 Hod Fenner CHW: 20 Today Jonah Tong NYM: 19 8/12/2008 Charlie Zink BOS: 19 8/8/2001 Nate Cornejo DET: 19 9/13/1935 Earl Huckleberry PHA: 19 4/27/1900 Doc Newton CIN: 19 h/t @EliasSports
If we post hard enough we can get them to drag him out to prove he’s alive. I believe in us.
Court rules bank heist illegal, but allows robbers to keep cash for now.
have to reign in our consumption of beef for starters...
I'll do it..
Look at this Racket Hample asshole over here
Just a pure banger...
What people think they 80s were like versus what the 80s was actually like.
There is a non zero chance that a skilled prankster could convince Pete Hegseth to hang a portrait of Timothy mcveigh at DoD
the Dude abides..
Call me crazy but I don’t love the idea of them controlling ways to escape.
I do not understand how you tell this story without saying anything that isn’t already said in rocky deadline.com/2025/08/anth...
tyvm
ty!
gotta look for that one
Oh I'm sorry Mr. Fox, please , after you.. #ashburypark #newjersey #fox #boardwalk
Never forgot reading how the head of the first response at Sandy Hook made sure to pick medics who had war experience to bring into the school to process the scene and said this is gonna be the worst day of your life..
No words
Me in 2001
Gonna have to ride the knee injury for one more "perk", re: physical inactivity..
And if a few people die agonizing, unnecessary deaths because of something you wrote, so what? It's like Harry Lime on the ferris wheel to them
Not even my favorite McArdle take - the one where she was like "uh have we considered that Covid is spreading faster in NYC because new yorkers shout all the time?" a brilliant mind.
And she's still employed by the Washington Post even as they've been pushing out or offering buyouts to most of their black opinion writers
Two months ago we had five million people show up to protests then everyone went home and no one has mentioned them since
What’s happening is jurors are recognizing the lawlessness of the government and acknowledging the need for resistance
Gotta be kidding me...
Was a strange time for sure.
this stuff is such a disgrace. a free citizen of a free country should be ashamed to engage in it.
To be in a roomful of Chiefs fans who are mad about this would be pure bliss
Has anyone asked Roger Maris Jr. what he thinks of Cal Raleigh's season?
Certainly doesn’t hurt my theory that there’s a bipartisan belief that the George Floyd protests were the worst things that ever happened and we haven’t been punished enough for them
Probably shouldn’t have let an insane right-wing congressman from the Gingrich era become a major journalist I guess. Pobody’s nerfect!
We're not here to start no trouble..
How is it possible that London coined a name for these a-holes before New York City? (Obviously, the name sucks but an effort was made.)
Me after I send one email at work
I was wondering why TL was showing up on the ole' time line and LOL
This morning we gathered on McGuinness Blvd. After a beloved Greenpoint teacher was killed in a crash, the local community thought they had won a transformative redesign of this dangerous road — then the work was halted by City Hall corruption. As Mayor, I’ll finish the job.
Trump and Musk are the most powerful enemies of our freedom of speech rights in our country's history. That was obvious during 2024, but much of the media reported on the subject as if Trump was the one who supported freedom of speech. Why would they lie like that?
Again, carefully hiding the back of the right hand.
Today at The Bandwagon, I wrote about Anthony Volpe and the beat writers who showed more urgency than Aaron Boone. bandwagon.substack.com/p/63-beat-wr...
i think it's basically telling that the Mamdani campaign is basically the economic focused campaign that pollsters say voters want, but it doesn't code that way because his proposals are well to the left of the status quo
id be slightly less angry at dem leadership saying theyre only interested in throwing political punches on “kitchen table issues” if they were currently out there landing punches on “kitchen table issues”
The news from the past few days is a stunning example of what happens when the state decides it wants to crush just one guy
defund the police *and* great scavenger hunts? 😍
You’re at the ballpark. Your team is up by 10 runs. You have a metric ton of popcorn. You’re not forced to go to school for another 2 years. Life will never be better than this
I have very tiny pockets of nostalgia for parts of the 80s absolutely drowned out by rampant bullying, parental neglect, homophobia, AIDs jokes, (manufactured) fear of gangs. I mean yeah, the Nintendo was kinda cool.

It’s very clear that what Cuomo took from his primary loss was basically, “Oh, Democrats don’t fall at my feet, after all that I’ve done for them? Then fuck ‘em. I’ll show those ungrateful bastards.”
lol
If the recommendation to Democrats was to speak plainly, casually, like a normal person having a real conversation rather than like a politician stumbling through jargon, they’d be gushing about Mamdani and telling Dems to be more like him. But they’re not, because they really mean something else.
you’ll notice that Third Way isn’t concerned about management speak as much as they want Dems to use *their* management speak.
"We don't have kings in America. We don't have generalissimos in America. The military isn't his plaything to distract from his horrendous policies or his private army to crush dissent."
"He's occupying American cities with our soldiers. He's the kind of tyrant the Founders warned against." Say shit like a normal person!
"We should continue to support local law enforcement". But why?
Eh, why would you be so certain of this?
This whole thread is excellent and should be used to tell people like Tom Nichols and every other white man on here pissing their pants about words that are too “woke” to shut up.
It’s true, dead people don’t need healthcare.
