A pre-dog-walk 🧵 on the pandemic. To me, the lesson of the pandemic is a very familiar one, although as far as I can tell, no one is talking about it or learning it (which is also familiar). It's about the contrast between America's two political parties.
Russia are such bloviating delusional morons. they cant even march on Luhansk
if that award was ever prestigious, it’s been ruined by venal assholes like Rush and Rudy receiving it.
none of the other Trumps have a shot. they’re drips and weirdos and wouldnt even be able to capture Donalds legions let alone grab flip flop voters.
Nate Silver, famously accurate about recent elections. 🙄 Bluesky is sooo unimportant, he’s tweeting about it.
Caught Stealing the film just came out and the book its based on (same title) by Charlie Huston is awesome. (its the first part of a trilogy, so I imagine the other books will be made into films too).
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
there’s a LOT going on there. what the fuck?
hopefully Van Hecke pised him off
could have three yellows (+ the gratuitous shove on Haaland) already and somehow has one? surely we can pound his side all game and have him sent off.
can only think he just mis-hit it? didnt see a slo mo replay but hoping he like kicked the ground slightly before hitting it. otherwise, totally lame.
this isnt going to endear him to the MV cocktail circuit is it?
Tong & McLean and pray for rain. Mets pitching a fucking shambles. scoring 19 yesterday cant hide their terrible staff. how does a team that gives up 27 in 3 games to a 4th place Marlins team expect to do anything in the playoffs. (if they even make the post season)
isnt culling the population a large part of fascism?
the streets wont forget Andrew Cuomo
Well done helping the rest of us appreciate why the decision to honor an insurrectionist is damaging both to our military and our society, @markhertling.bsky.social.
lol Hakeem dont like sticking his head out of the bunker. Greater chance of the sun rising in the west.
Man U are back! Amiron at the wheel. Spurs title hopes dashed 😂😂
I've read so many things that made me angry today but here's one that makes me happy: The 50th anniversary rerelease of Jaws is expected to gross about $10 million this weekend. Everybody go see Jaws! Bring the kids! (If they're, I dunno, 10 or older? I saw it when I was 11. It rocked my world.)
it's the constant gaslighting that gets me.
😂😂
😂😂
important stuff. thanks for covering so thoroughly. 🙄
oh damn, thanks! didnt realize. and now that I’ve read a great preview, I’m all in.
I feel left out with all the City fans talking about the women’s side because I dont think I get those matches on any one my channels here in the states. will be nice to read about them from a trusted source. 🙂
an ignorant white man with unearned confidence and prestige, suckered by a quack fad you say? He should start a podcast.
dude didn’t realize you write about MC women. this is fantastic. just followed your yardieball account. 👏👏
Jeanine Pirro is at the wheel. haha
Listening to a podcast where a well known tech world wannabe fascist calls journalism "nonconsensual invasion of privacy for profit" and thinks that's clever and my goodness does that reveal a lot of how completely brain wormed a bunch of these guys are once they faced a tiny bit of criticism.
looks pretty … robust. and KEV!! 🥲
lol. Did Peter Thiel wrote this?
With their gutting of the CDC and other agencies Canada should no longer accept any food imports from the 🇺🇲. It's a public health issue #BoycottUSA
Few doctors have wreaked as much medical havoc as Bill Cassidy, the senator who overcame his initial, well-founded concerns to pave the way for RFK’s HHS confirmation
😂😂
Haven’t been as excited to watch a Mets pitcher since early Matt Harvey. McLean’s fun to watch
Mets have a new folk hero. wow. scintillating performance from Nolan McLean. 8 innings 3 hits. 0 runs.
Hey SNY, love you, love how you cover the Mets but a big fuck you for running that DHS Kristi Noem bullshit during a Mets broadcast. A very big fuck you.
him or Rubio 🙂
also, Patterson was a sucky unelected governor.
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
exactly.
oh my and or lol
Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…
Autumn is a sad & melancholic yet beautiful season & does strange things to me.
this is such a perfect description of his “intellect.” I always throw my hands up and just call him a moron 😂. but this articulates what I hate about him very precisely.
Argentina? You dont say. 🤔
Mets are 2-0 since Bohm started crying about parabolic mics. 🙂
star of the series 😂😂
has a future in the booth for sure. has that laconic twang to his voice.
LFGM!!!
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
this dumb shit right here is why nominal democrats like me hate the Democratic party. this is why Mamdani is crushing all comers here in NYC. its the wishy washy cowardice.
hah. I know.
His handlers at RT told this piece of garbage to say this.
If she’s hoping our compromised, partisan, illegitimate, alt-right SCOTUS will save her, I have some bad news. (yea, this will go to the Supreme Court)
do you know anyone in, um, government who might do something active to stop him and not just write concerning posts?
Nobel aint going to someone who kidnaps his own citizens
exactly like this.
lol. answer is no. AI can mimic suffering. it cant suffer. realize this is rage bait, but c’mon.
omg, dont make me side with google.
Most countries on the planet have stopped allowing their postal services to ship items to the United States, and services like DHL have done the same, because our government can't even tell them what the import duties would be. Mainstream press isn't reporting this and innumerable other shitshows.
he’s traumatized by his years at Man City where they NEVER had an actual left back 😂
😂😂
Fuckin A right.
This constant drama with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the utter refusal by the Regime to just admit they fucked up and leave him alone is a perfect distillation of how incompetent and cruel they are.
I can't believe people are comparing Netanyahu to Satan. Yes, he's evil, but he's certainly not as evil as Netanyahu.
our SCOTUS is hyper-partisan, alt-right, activist and illegitimate.
would like confirmation on this. 😂😂
😂😂👏👏
“They claim to read the same books” is such a multilayered burn, I LOVE it
oh my god yes. also, they could do both, they’re not mutually exclusive. They can hammer kitchen table/affordability issues while also bull-horning the fascism problem.
😂😂
The Enshitification of America continues apace. Thanks Trump voters.
I’m a NYer and Hakeem embarrasses me so much. he’s useless. would love for Ms. Crockett to be Dem house leader.
I know! it was literally about 99% of his campaign.
“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
this is a first cousin to “you gotta hand it to him.” No, you never have to hand it to him and you never have to agree that “he has a point.” these milquetoast center right assholes, man.
I’m also trying to imagine someone running for mayor of Paris or Berlin or Amsterdam or Toronto or Montreal on a platform of being scared of the subway, utter loser behavior
the bizarre idea that she’s a scapegoat and not a full-fledged co-conspirator is insane.
Agree about Marmoush. he had 2 or 3 chances in the first half. was surprised to see him come off. He wasnt great, everyone was kind of bad, though he and Bobb were the best of a bad bunch.
tbf, I heard whispers of a parade last week from our fans and an honest to god shout for Reijnders’ eventual Balon d’Or win on a podcast 🙂
very smart. when I first heard about the chips & bribes thing, you just knew it was going to be a Mamdani ad.
Mayor Adams is so underwater, and his clown campaign is so incompetent that every new allegation is laugh-out-loud comedy-fucking-gold. I mean, a bribe in a bag of Herrs? good god, who’s scripting this?
one of those IYKYK things. when i first scrolled it didnt have sound & I saw the chips & laughed. I assumed the spot was about the Adams corrupt bribe thing. but when I realized he was just eating the chips, it was even funnier. (I am sure its the same brand chips, too. his campaign is thorough!)
on their phones no doubt?
yes. so aggravating. Trafford didnt do a lot to improve his chances to be No 1. looked very shaky coming out and with the ball.
Thomas Frank’s Spurs aint Wolves. Playing Wolves first week flattered us. we still obviously have lots of issues.
Thomas Frank’s Spurs aint Wolves. Spurs are always a Bogey team for us, home and away, and Frank is going to make that even worse.
hate it when keepers try to stuff that pass right up a clogged middle. just fucking Route 1 it, ffs. or put it to one of the other two defenders off to each side. its the ugly, infuriating side of Pep ball.
Thomas Frank’s Spurs aint Wolves y’all
Haaland, Bobb, Cherki, Marmoush and Reijnders all starting? damn. 🙂 🙂👏👏
fucking thugs.
can someone smarter than me define “US” in this instance. like, how does that work? where does that 10% stake go, assuming Intel will be profitable going forward? how can we as citizens track that
define “America”. like, who is “America”? am I as a citizen going to get dividends? kidding, obvs Trump extorted the money and its going to him, via a crypto account.
its funny too because bald eagles hate Trump
lol. Did Fascism write that?
Sounds good … for Putin.
