Until they pay a political price……
The willful destruction of the organization, ugh.
These are the top ten numbers for hits in a baseball season. Note the dates, and who is there twice.
I try to be diligent about my feed, eliminating outrage merchants etc. but is difficult to avoid “everything is shit” overhang at times. A disconnect to the outside world indeed.
I’m very appreciative that DFL gubernatorial candidates went on to the primaries. We avoided absolute disaster in 2010
Did you hear about the executive who was embracing his peer until suddenly they were in the spotlight? Lots of awkward scrambling ensued and then the executive told his attorney general to release grand jury transcripts about the relationship.
He will bring MAGA to heel, they will stand down
I understand the frustration of the hedge but with this SCOTUS, leaving nothing to chance. Nothing

“I didn’t vote for this”
I feel like Musk could really blow MAGA's collective minds just by continuing to tweet out facts the rest of us have known for years but never penetrated their media bubble.
there are decades where no posting happens, there are weeks where years of posting happens
That’s where the $ is
What he’s been through, playing ball for life changing money is all good. No question about his competitiveness
I'm wondering what needs to happen for the political press to stop reflexively characterizing the GOP as the party of fiscal and economic responsibility. Because for most of my lifetime they have been the governmental equivalent of a cokehead who pays for everything with near-maxed credit cards.
Thank you for this opportunity

He has a broken roster. Won 50 games somehow
And privilege
The Party = the Individual. The rw media has nowhere to go
In February 2020, active news readers were aware of the coming pandemic but not the mass public. I’m getting the same sense of dread about how the trade wars are gonna hit the U.S. economy over the next few months unless Trump figures out an artful way to capitulate.
And the (right kind of) Elites!
Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.
I want to emphasize something. If you get the column you saw in detail, but it's worth repeating. Our economic and geopolitical relationships with Canada and Europe cannot be repaired. Destroying them forces our former partners into alternative plans that cannot be undone.
Arbitration Denialism
Twenty years ago, Mo Cheeks helped a 13-year-old girl through the National Anthem. The Blazers invited her back to perform it again tonight, with Cheeks in the house.
Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.
It’s weird everyone thinks tariffs are so terrible for the economy. If something can only be in effect 72 hours how bad can it be
A little short-term "disturbance" is a small price to pay for permanently higher prices, permanently reduced real wages, permanently impaired national productivity, permanent conflict with betrayed ex-allies, and permanent surrender of global influence to China.

Judges should immediately sanction attorneys who sign pleadings or make arguments in support the Birthright Citizenship executive order. State bars should consider disciplinary actions against them. Advocating for this is a stain on the profession. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
This might be the last MLK Day we have
The thing about the Trump strategy of "flooding the zone with shit" is Americans, media, and in particular social media users REALLY love eating shit.
Watching from a Vegas casino, pleasantly surprised by the blowout. Would have bet against but didn’t get to the window in time
Knicks downside #2, Thibs Magic, Cavs, Bucks
Radley’s series about George Floyd’s death and the people trying to misrepresent it, is absolutely essential. I will only comment that I’m not sure why some people are so obsessed with arguing that police didn’t kill Floyd when it’s so clear they’d be perfectly fine with it if they did.
All can be true: 1. Concerns about Biden age are legitimate - he'd be president at 86! Ds would go crazy in reverse situation. 2. But coverage is wildly disproportionate; both men are elderly & showing their age. 3. Most importantly, only one makes outlandish false statements & threatens democracy.
It's not "economic anxiety"; it is "status anxiety." It's not a fear of poverty or hunger; it's a fear of losing dominance demographically and culturally.
So, dog bites person. Was wondering if different or just a new crowd
Goodman aside, is the point valid? Can legitimate disagreement exist without getting personal or conspiratorial?
