Walter Cronkite is rolling in his grave.

Guarantee that no matter how many times it's explained that the NG reports to governors, Trump hears the word "National" and thinks that means they're his personal property.
Ah yes, that famously celebrated demographic of trans women. Nobody has any public issues with them. Another genius take from Musk. No notes. 🤦♂️
Anti-vaxxers: durh, she said summer and the clip is from March which we all know is either the end of winter or the beginning of spring. Typical corporate media lying as usual.
Kind of beside the point, but it's pretty funny how Trump decided to phrase things as if he came up with the name Rocket City for Huntsville. The Angels' AA team has been the Rocket City Trash Pandas for years.
Radcliffe gets paid regardless. Hard to call it very good spite with that in mind.
Drop an old person you're going to turn into in the future.
Yeesh.
Suarez? Spitting on someone? If he'd done that before, I think I would have hard about it.
Embraced at the Kremlin too.
And the whiteness of the American South is kinda the worst one… you really were in a bad place.

If only we lived in a world where the consequences of one's stupidity only fell on the person being stupid and not on everyone around them.
Screaming into the void, but there are also tens of millions of people of faith who believe in prayer but also that we're called to do the work that serves the flourishing of our world and our communities. It's a gigantic cop-out anyway to say "I prayed and that's all I'm called to do."
Remember when your conservative friends hadn't yet gone full-maga but were endorsing things like the book "The Benedict Option"?
You're not wrong, but the cringe level of a lot of episodes of The Office is much higher to me.
If you're a maga or rfk-type grifter and the @nytimes.com hasn't yet profiled you, stay in line. Profiles are still being written. You haven't missed your shot.
You know it is.
I have audibly and inappropriately scoffed in people's faces when they've been that hyperbolic about people far less odious than Trump. If I was in that room, he'd probably write an EO to put me in Guantanamo for laughing at them.
Mater Dei and similar schools broke high school sports around here and lead to league realignment for every sport. Just saw that my old school is in different leagues for different sports & the boys and girls cross-country teams are in different leagues.
What these losers don't get about America, what they hate about America, is that our strength is in our ability to make a country and society that is chosen and is not about genetics, race, or where your great grandpa lived.
Old Elected Dems: Cozying up to Netanyahu or Putin, the military occupation of DC, and the dismantling of every federal agency are distractions. Meanwhile, the actual distractions are these culture war grievances.
This is actually hilarious. James Gunn did some classic comic story retconning and this guy is calling it colonialism.
How much is he getting in NIL money? Ohio doesn't allow it for high schoolers, but California does. MD was always at the forefront of recruiting so I'm not surprised they'd turbocharge it in the NIL age.
This looks like video of an old dad trying to keep up with the kids he had with his much younger third wife.
And my strength is that, despite my capability to manage travel documents and arrangements as evidenced by my solo work trips, I know that Kim will not relax if she's not holding the tickets and hasn't fully vetted the housing situation so I stay out of the way.
Every Star Wars writer except "Andor" creator Tony Gilroy:
Gen, most of the time I don't even know where we're staying. I drive and I lift bags.
You haven't already voted for him 3 times? Clearly you're a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Guys who want to carry a gun and have the chance to shoot someone but aren't fit for military duty have way too many opportunities to find themselves in law-enforcement jobs with union and legal protections.
Pretty instructive to see the reaction to Dobson's death and how directly he is tied to the pain of so many. I may have been raised in a Southern Baptist church with conservative parents, but they were skeptical of the right-wing economy of fear so Dobson & his ilk were mere abstractions to me.
While Newsom is out there trolling Trump, Prtizker and Bashear seem to be getting things done. I'm fine with needling Trump, but let's actually govern.
Hilarious to claim you were embarrassed by the situation in a book where you're using it as an example of how to act.
One of the big differences between the SBC/non-denominational churches I attended for 35+ years and the UCC church I'm at now is the marked lack of personal stories in every sermon. You don't get a bunch of made-up nonsense if the preacher doesn't have to have a weekly anecdote for every sermon.
These lines from Vance and Trump show that they're both a deadly combo of evil and dumb. They believe the lying war criminal more than honest people because they want the authoritarian to be the good guy and they're too dense to realize they're incapable of being him.
Good people: we should address supply and build more housing to lower housing costs Evil people: we should reduce demand and kick out immigrants to lower housing costs stupid people: we already have enough housing the problem is vacant units
Not sure about the entirety of that party, but racists who pretend they're not racist like Miller definitely do that all the time.
Need to fire up MST3K again sometime soon.
To paraphrase an old tweet, I bet this junk hits so hard if you're stupid.
Now that Stephen Miller has cast himself as a defender of black people against [checks notes] old, white hippies, I'd like a full list of his ranking of how much he hates every demographic because I could have sworn he was blaming black people for crime in DC just before he was claiming them.
Would love someone to paraphrase this and ask him his thoughts to see how quickly he denounced the questioner as evil. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is a gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast."
And now I realize why there are 10+ Batman movies.
"These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is a gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast." Etc.
This isn't an "outing." Their engagement last year was reported in People magazine. people.com/sean-hannity...
Can't think about Switchfoot without thinking about how they went from "band that the intern from my church's hs ministry told us about bc he knew the singer back in Virginia Beach" to "multiplatinum-selling rock band known by everyone's mom" in about 2 years.
Works for the original Mike Stanton and Giancarlo "Mike" Stanton.
Absolutely perfect photo choice for that stupid quote.
Thousands of people shyly passing intricately folded notes to ICE agents that say "My friend likes you. Do you like them? Check yes or no."
Gonna be weird when my car gets tickted for only having one license plate because I had to take the other one off to enter my looking place.
Using "allergic reaction" to defend a guy who hates actual medical science, rejects germ theory in favor of miasma theory, and has no medical training whatsoever is 🤌
She's halfway to living the @dril.bsky.social tweet.
I imagine a bunch of maga dorks reading this and thinking it's "kinda gay" to inject Spartan warriors because so many ancient Greeks were not heterosexual.
Prove it. Get Russia to concede something important and see if democrats or the media complain.
före och efter.
Actual response to a post someone made complaining that chat gpt kept insisting to a user that Biden was still in office. Why not just use a search engine instead? 🫠
And then one of his compatriots just unleashes a Nelson on you.

Putin with a real shit-eating grin as he knows exactly what a publicity coup this is for him.
Right. They explicitly said "we're counting all of these people to decide representation even though we also refuse to make them citizens or give them rights." It was the whole point of negotiating a fraction.
Same energy.
The first time I saw it I was buzzing for hours afterward. My roommate snuck me into a film class where they watched movies in a theater on campus. It was not released yet and I didn't know what was showing when he invited me.

Oh look, a guy gave himself a psychological disorder by entirely replacing table salt (NaCl, a thing that is required to conduct nerve impulses, contract muscles, etc.) with sodium bromide (used to disinfect pools, banned from medicines in 1975 for toxicity) bc AI told him it was fine.
I don't want to slander the military, but I've heard multiple veterans joke about how often military regulations and procedures contradict common sense.
Do I have to have seen 'Marty' (1955) before I watch the trailer for 'Marty Supreme' or do they do a good job catching everyone up?
@allgoodthingsmd.bsky.social this might be in your wheelhouse.
There's a whole string of "just paper over the problems. It'll be fine – trust me" quotes from Trump today. It's a miracle any of his properties can withstand a mild breeze given how shoddily he wants to rebuild our infrastructure.
First learned about the Dred Scott decision in 5th grade when I picked Missouri for my state report and for 30 years now I get sad & angry every time I think about it. The Roberts court and current Republicans are fast-tracking the kinds of policies that make a Dred Scott-type decision inevitable.
Even considering this agreement is the kind of thing is insane. Israel is starving Palestine *right now* and that's the model they want for Ukraine?!
Trump on Russia invading Ukraine: "Why did they Ukraine start this?" Trump on Russia hacking the US: "What are you gonna do? They like to hack."
You're only human. Of course it bothers you. Don't let the fact that it bothers you bother you though. Then those people win.
That really sucks. It's nuts that people have convinced themselves that vaccines are worse than what address and maddening how little people care for others.
Agree we will need a strong leadership that cares for principle over power, but wasn't Reconstruction as Lincoln intended more of a middle way between the desire for punishment by Union stalwarts and the racists' desire to go right back to black disenfranchisement? It basically died with Lincoln.
Ippei got away with a lot because Balelo didn't bother to hire an independent translator and relied on Ippei as the sole go-between with Ohtani. Balelo seems incompetent and/or shady.
It's deeply un-Christian to promote your own "freedom" to risk the lives of your kids & neighbors and it's extremely stupid to reject reams of medical data showing the efficacy of vaccines.
In my church we know that getting vaccinated is both smart for the person getting vaccinated *&* a small act of caring for our community. Absolutely insane how these people have substituted western individualism in the plane of self-sacrifice, especially when it's not even really a sacrifice.
For anyone who needs to know, we were all taught wrongly that you have to stay up if you might have a concussion. bsky.app/profile/allg...
I live in the city that has had the lowest per capita crime rate of any city in the US over 250k people for 20 straight years and every time there's a single crime people online react as if we live in the Gangs of New York version of the 5 Points neighborhood.
Good questioning by @bryancurtis.bsky.social here. Pitaro gave a weak answer that didn't really say anything. McAfee could have said what he said without waiting months, talking to the family, or doing the "as a relative of a female" cop-out.
I think that probably happened a lot. Probably easier for the closeted guys to hide in a culture that reinforced conservative (and often extreme) gender roles than to be in more permissive spaces.
A plurality of votes went to Trump, but he and his allies act as though it was an overwhelming majority. It wasn't even a majority of votes cast. Unfortunately much of the media encourages this.
A relatedly weird thing is that the Catfish TV show had 99 episodes in the 8th season and that season lasted from January 2020 to May 2024 even though season 9 started in April 2024.
My extremely anecdotal evidence of this phenomenon is the number of closeted guys who were in my Christian fraternity and/or Campus Crusade at a large, secular private university 20 years ago.
Honestly surprised they aren't doing the story of an Iraq or Afghanistan veteran who comes home suffering from PTSD and becomes an anti-immigration vigilante. Seems like Stallone would love that awful story.
They're saying a Monday has never been so Monday.
This is insane. Shallow-water blackout is a real risk here. A senior on the swim team my freshman year of high school died doing underwater laps after practice. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow...
And she had the gall to get a restraining order against him. Can't a guy get a break? Last time I saw him play was in 2002 and a guy spent the entire game trying to get the section to keep booing Justice for being abusive.
Happy anniversary to this quote from an Irish swimmer who had never done the open water distance who decided to jump into the race after his pool event was over.
Sotomayor, hoping to quiet the people who think she's not as full of herself as RBG was, claims that even amending the constitution wouldn't be a constitutional justification for term limits for Supreme Court justices. 🤦♂️
Official policy of the Trump administration and RFK in particular is just this gif.
Trump and Vance are both using the government to find their leisure activities. The difference is that Vance is a dork with no imagination who is checking off a list of stereotypical vacations and Trump only goes to his own properties because he hates the world & takes every opportunity to grift.
"Compete with Chicago"? When the Erie Canal was completed, NYC was about 26x bigger than Chicago. It wasn't even an official town yet.
For reference, these are the 2 people mentioned in that alert. One is perhaps the largest baseball player ever and the other is generously listed at 5'6".
