The millionaire CEO who stole a hat from a child at the US Open is, ultimately, indicative of the whole ruling class. This is what we’re up against, a small number of people and a system that will gladly and unapologetically steal from children and from all of us. www.jphilll.com/p/who-steals...
if you present them with evidence that women with college degrees have MORE kids and are more likely to get married (which is true) you'll be stunned to know that their views don't change
Holy crap, NYT let Charles Munger Jr. write an op-ed opposing the California redistricting without disclosing that he's FUNDING the opposition to the California redistricting. I have 4 mailers he paid for in my house right now and that's just the beginning. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/o...
These people are just so so SO STUPID.
How to report on Nazis. And it's real, I checked thenightly.com.au/editions
In @theatlantic.com the former First Lady advocating healthy lunches is just like the hhs head being an anti vaccine quack killing people. Stop the planet I want to get off.
This is insanely ahistorical. The Department of Defense was an all new creation in 1947, specially to bring together the disparate armed services. The “Department of War” was really just the army. I hate how stupid Trump’s most performative actions are.
180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments. The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.
When did Austin Butler change careers?
One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.
I love when that happens.
Ego can be a really terrible thing. Except mine, mine is the best
THESE BOXES DOUBLED AS MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS ONCE THEY WERE EMPTY
Y'ALL WASN'T OUTSIDE!!!
The bank app is telling me to "tap & pay like a boss😏" and "rally my crew". I am 37 years old and you are the bank. Don't talk to me this way.
Plus a stand-up Inside the Park HR yesterday.
The Reds walk off the Jays in the bottom of the 9th
Nice call Pete. I was with Will thinking double, but I’m glad you were the right one.
I don’t think Bello has it today.
At least it’s a day game.
Ah, the “To the Pain” theory from The Princess Bride. I endorse this.
I grew up LOVING the Iceman.
The man is a machine. I don’t know how long he will do this, but I can easily see him in his early 40s still hitting 98+.
I am quite happy to belong to a site/app that is primarily text-based. I’m an old, and I don’t have to worry about the volume of a video disturbing my family while I scroll. I’d much rather read anyway.
So I've decided to do a subscription sale for the home stretch, with 25% off the annual price. I'm calling it the "Home Stretch 25% off Subscription Sale." My refusal to read even a single marketing book saves you money!!! www.cupofcoffeenews.com/the-home-str...
MLB will schedule ten day games on Labor Day to take advantage of people who are off work but they won't do a special hat or even acknowledge Labor Day as an actual holiday.
That first paragraph tells me there’s something significant about that damsel in distress story, and it’s probably not true.
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
Especially the parts where the stats are wrong. Randy Johnson has more Ks than Roger and 5 Cy Young awards, which is only two fewer than Roger.
Mina all the way.
I lose my remote control at least twice a day only to find it right next to me minutes later
(Person drives like an asshole, cuts me off, and flips me off after I give them a thumbs up) (I notice they have a giant Punisher logo and a Thin Blue Line flag on the back of their truck): Yeah, that checks out.
They’re so stupid. I’m sorry, but there’s no other way to say it. Just fucking idiots.
Same…
But if there is a school shooting, we should not seek to change things one bit b/c that would be politicizing a tragedy.
She is a worthy successor to Chuck Todd.
Those willing, by contrast, to trade away the rights and dignity of transgender people or the poor cannot be considered friends of democracy any more than those who were willing to countenance second-class status for blacks and Jews.
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa

Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀
These are my patients. Kids dying of brain cancer. Kids and families desperate for treatment and hoping to find a cure through experimental therapies. Trump is dismantling science and children with brain tumor are the victims. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
My name is Illy L and I'm here to say
Introducing my daughter to Who Framed Roger Rabbit tonight. Proud dad here!
8 August's #EyedentityGame eyes (I do this as a daily game). I can't do the kind of robust tracking I normally do for who gets it in 2 places, & this 1 has been answered there, but feel free to guess & discuss! I plan to reveal the answer tomorrow
I can
You all can watch your college football. I’m watching Looney Tunes on Tubi.
Guy who wrote a book saying his mom is a junkie slag and his people are lazy trash thinks that everyone else should be more grateful
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
Live your life so that millions of people don’t spend a whole evening hoping you’ve died.
Broken clock is right twice a day I guess.
It’s was a discussion I had with you at the old place that got me to start viewing him differently, and it wasn’t long after that when I stopped watching. So thanks.
Indeed. I can’t believe I stuck with Maher as long as I did.
It’s great on the PlayStation Portal too.
Just started Sword of the Sea on PS5. Incredibly beautiful and relaxing game. A worthy successor to Journey. If you have the console, I highly advise checking it out, and it’s on PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium.
We need Ben Affleck to rip him a new one again.
Did Payton Tolle compose this post?
That whole cast was too damn old to play high schoolers.
Joe Biden’s no longer president so the media has moved on from caring about such things Much like inflation and budget deficits
Trump needs to post an unhinged, hateful all caps screed as proof of life
Zohran Mamdani is the happiest politician in America, his whole campaign is about how New York is awesome and can be even awesomer. Meanwhile, there has never been a politician in history who talked as much about what a shithole he thinks America is as Donald Trump does.
Some enterprising journalist should maybe ask Gavin Newsom how he intends to be a champion for liberal values while simultaneously forcibly ejecting unhoused people from state property. Because it doesn’t compute. These are people you should be helping, if you’re a champion for liberal values.
All I ask for is an end that is deeply humiliating, entirely self-inflicted and completely in public so the MAGA conspiracy theories will be at a minimum.
The Greg Oden of baseball.
First batter. First K.
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
Icon.
One of the world’s foremost experts? Get the fuck out of here, Doogie Himmler.
“You have to let us break the law or we will be embarrassed” is not a good legal argument
I want a politics that widens the circle to include everyone, not one that shrinks the circle by throwing *undesirables* under the bus. I think this is basic. I am interested in a politics that is rooted at the sources of people's suffering. I am interested in a politics that attends to basic needs.
On the other corner of 14th and U.
Tomorrow morning, New Edition will get a street dedicated to them in the heart of Boston and I will be there front & center… Here’s the Boston Magazine article written by G. Valentino Ball back in August 2018 that quoted me which began this whole process: www.bostonmagazine.com/arts-enterta...
I started 2025 with the goal of getting 3K subscribers to the Celtics Chronicle newsletter. Not getting there. And that's totally fine, you set high goals, and adjust if you don't reach them. With 4 months left, I'm still aiming for 2K subscribers. celticschronicle.com

Who's cutting onions in here?
Especially the latter.
The Boston branch of the Black Panther Party was woman led, created allegiances with several grassroots organizations, progressive & radical entities plus churches, colleges & universities. The leadership moved to Oakland & remained there. It’s a unique story that not enough people know about…
I like long farts on the beach. The sea breeze takes out over the water and I'm in the clear
she looks nothing like him
Oh yeah, I remember that one. That show is easy to enjoy without being “dumb”.
Vaccines have been the foremost breakthrough in medical history Not of this year Not this decade Not this century Vaccines are the foremost medical breakthrough in history
Eh, not my money. He was worth a flyer, and ultimately, if the Sox make the playoffs, it really didn’t hurt. I’ll put Crochet, Bello, and Gio up against most teams’ top 3, which is really all you can ask for in today’s game.
Ah, the Verdant era of Arrow.
I catch King of Queens on COZI most weeknights before bed. Still funny, especially on the gummies. Agree on Danny/Spence, especially when they lived together.
I'm rebooting "When Harry Met Sally" but with bacon and a cheeseburger
Payton Tolle is a big leaguer!
“A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group”
following today's update 2025 is, for the first time, on track to be the most deadly year on record. this is all still happening. (numbers tracked through 8/11)
Hell yeah!
Absolutely.
Dan will be cursing Schilling all the way to his deathbed. One of the few areas we can always agree with Dan on.
Remember "facts don't care about your feelings"?
The original Cracker speaks.
Oh man, I am going to have to delve into that. Thank you!
AI art does not exist. It is an oxymoron.
I took this picture myself at the CDC protest today. These are among the hundreds of bullet holes in CDC headquarters windows, visible from the street. I heard today that the admin has no urgent plan to fix these windows. Imagine being a CDC employee going to work under these conditions
Well done. And true.
