that said, them being fucking awful is way cooler than like 6-6
plug this in at 3. seems like him bsky.app/profile/jake...
Likelihood of announcements ranked 1) Chicago 2) Venezuela 3) some other city 4) mail in voting 5) he survived some operation and is stronger than ever Big gap 6) he has cancer or some other disease but is fighting on 7) the field 8) resignation
I don’t underestimate the possibility but I have to say it’d be so preposterous I have a hard time contemplating the aftermath. Feels like boots on the ground in Venezuela would be the most unpopular thing a president has done in generations.
thinking on the video again, the only health related thing I can possibly see (and I do not think it is this) is some sort of cancer announcement. just the "never give up" part at the end. but i dunno, I really doubt theyd announce that unless they absolutely had to
or in Chicago for that matter. like literally declaring war on pritzker
I know everyone wants to read this as some sort of life lesson upon retirement but it doesnt take much squinting to see this as a rally around the flag hype video to try and get people to run through a wall for him saying boots on the ground in Caracas bsky.app/profile/drew...
Congress is back in session tomorrow fwiw
Honestly the Venezuela thing isn’t a bad guess
This is a good note
Yes, I would like eat a hat. Another option is the big “crime fight” push, trying to use the bully pulpit to justify going into Chicago and leverage the media bsky.app/profile/rate...
It’s probably a big push on the voting EO or maybe a tariff announcement.
if it were to happen they would immediately lose discipline in congress. the only thing keeping the caucus from being at each other's throat is the big guy. there would be a bloody civil war with no winners but lots of losers
this is how he is going to make a play at overrunning the Fed. which... well, it sure is something
Billy B is an annoying shitbird but I kinda hope it works because I think itd be cool if another school really liked cfb
I just mean to say he usually relishes in people seeing him actually golf and that didnt happen this time
the biggest tell in the world is he didn't get filmed swinging a club.
man we are actually cooked aren't we
what the actual fuck
he's not necessarily in hospice care but something is clearly wrong and they're hiding it. I think every presidential administration would hide health issues. but that doesn't mean it isn't notable or worth asking about
thats not it at all. trump, who loves the sound of his own voice on the TV more than anything in the world other than defrauding contractors, hasn't spoken to the media in basically a week. he famously loves golfing in front of people and hasn't let the media film him golfing this week.
Awesome for Osaka but man that last game was indicative of how brutal it was to watch Gauff in that one
Think I saw someone else point out this about in the area of the residence.
100% low brass coded
You can say one thing in a vague way and do another when push comes to shove. That’s just politics. And I think doing our best to win elections is the best way to ensure we don’t repeat mistakes of the past
that said - Dems won on a shit ton of other COVID related and protest related things and we shouldn't be so damn scared to tap that well again
i dont think you should listen to red scare but I do think its fine to do politics in such a way where you aren't relitigating a losing issue.
though I completely understand the what Michael is saying here, I think the bigger point is that despite these facts, Dems completely lost this argument with the general public. Its done and dusted, we lost.
and you still have to listen to the news to get to them lol
the most popular segments at the local radio station i was at a decade ago are still birthdays/anniversaries and the twice weekly tradio segment
real classified are inevitably going to make a comeback at some point too imo. too much internet slop and even Facebook marketplace is losing its ground
it can be like a thrice weekly paper too. just throw it on every doorstep
also worth noting that the only off cycle election the GOP overperformed in in the Trump era was VA 21, the only time where the schooling impacts of covid was the top issue on most people's minds. by 22, abortion was on the ballot
this is the mechanism he'll use to try and wrestle interest rate control from the fed (it won't succeed) but actually, maybe we should use the army to build houses. the guard is already landscaping
this is how he's going to try to take over interest rates
so sorry bud
what the hell is he talking about re last last sentence I'll add that many kids become fans of teams *thru* players. a lot of those steph fans (not all, but a lot) will end up warriors fans long after he retires
at this point, occum's razor solution is he had a pretty serious stroke. it just is.
. @jaketapper.bsky.social hey bud time to do some investigating in real time instead of asking questions after the fact.
Yeah he clearly doesn't have the pure talent but he has old man QB brain and enough talent to back it up. different kind of dude but dude all the same. and a couple guns at WR. ND clearly did not expect to be eaten alive by Toney. I think you could say he won the game in the first half.
think the way you think about last night for ND relates to how you thought Miami looked. I thought this was the best looking team of the MC era. Not to say he won't fuck up, but they looked really good imo. NDs OL does have its work cut out for them this year
reminds me of when people say "why would this team overpay for player X like that" when the answer is usually simple - his teammates love him and agents remember the ways you do business.
Pope Leo XIV met with one of the most prominent advocates for greater LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Catholic Church. The Rev. James Martin said Leo told him that he intended to continue Pope Francis’ policy of LGBTQ+ acceptance in the church and encouraged him to keep up his advocacy.
Now, as we all know, you have to capture the audience first. and that lends itself to hot take analysis. the skill of actual on the ground reporting is a lower priority.
I think the attention economy has a lot to say for this too. People just used to turn on the TV and watch the news or get the paper at their door. It was just an automatic part of life, which meant you had a captured audience. it was just about how you presented it.
he also strikes me as the kind of person who would do what he wants and then make everyone make it work on the back end, which even the best doctor can only do so much for
This is actually fascinating. It appears to me that someone finally got to him on the lunacy of RFK Jr. This could be the beginning of an off-ramp.
Labour is actually doing the same thing with its majority that the GOP is doing here (creating policy that actively hurts the voters of their own majority and is increasingly unpopular) but from the other wing. it is kinda fascinating from a 10,000 foot view perspective
I would buy whatever the most outrageously garish automatic espresso machine out there is
not only does the format suck, but the issues are magnified by the consolidation of conferences. it makes the bad format even worse. if we were in the six "power" conference era with a couple really strong mid majors, some of the problems with the 12 team format disappear imo
its really gross. though I do think a 9-3 Ohio St team might actually not make it. that said, the fact its close is just shitty
most talented team they've had with MC imo. Much more margin for error that way. shouldnt be getting into dog fights with GT this year. if you are theres much more structural things happening
I would not be surprised to see them win the acc this year. they were my preseason favorite slightly over Clemson. they'll lose a dumb game but theyll be more talented than anyone they play except maybe Florida
as a nd fan there are definitely disappointing aspects to the game but more than anything I think this Miami team has juice
also they clearly didnt trust Carr the full way early, which is fine in a sense, but also a bummer. he also showed real "I'm young" energy in good and bad ways
Missed about 50% of the game because its the first night at home with two kids but my main impression is that ND isnt as good in the trenches this year and that Miami is actually probably gonna be a big time contender. they are talented af
ding ding ding i agree
Not a big fan of no handoffs in the first two plays
Dallas County lean compared to the state as a whole: 2000: +9.6 GOP 2004: +15.6 GOP 2008: +15.1 GOP 2012: +17.4 GOP 2016: +0.1 GOP 2020: +6.2 Dem 2024: +8.5 Dem crazy
irish
related - Dallas County, IA margin relative to the rest of the nation by year, with its population in parenthesis 2000: +9.8 GOP (41,446) 2004: +13.7 GOP (50,387) 2008: +12.8 GOP (62,144) 2012: +15.4 GOP (72,248) 2016: +11.6 GOP (84,278) 2020: +6.5 GOP (96,963) 2024: +3.2 GOP (115,343)
imo the real deciding axis of 2026 is probably the suburbs (because there is so much room to fall), followed by urban regression (because they are vote dense), followed by rural regression (lot of them but not vote dense but little margins add up in a lot places)
i've beat this drum repeatedly but republicans have an extremely nasty looking political geography and vote density problem. They had a path in 2024 where they could offset gains in the suburbs by drawing blood from a stone in the rurals and making gains with conservative minorities in cities BUT
they really need those black and Hispanic trends to stick. if they dont, boy oh boy.
yeah - it turns out they still had a little more room to max out the rurals. But if they are truly maxed now and 24 was a blip in the leftward suburban trend (my theory, at least in the latter)... its ominous af as you said
DSM is the fastest growing metro in the Midwest percentage wise. like, if they lose dallas county and/or ankeny, they'll lose state wide. the question of whether the Mississippi River communities ever come back is interesting. I dont think its impossible though
didnt she verbally say it aloud in court
what was the longest stretch of the biden presidency without any public on camera comment? I'd be shocked if it was more than four days outside of maybe the holiday season
and then this story www.hoosieragtoday.com/2025/07/15/f...
In the 60s and 70s, people just watched the news. thats what they did. So you could report the news (not saying they did it accurately, but they did it according to worldviews they ascribed to) Today, you need to get people to watch/read news. which means you have to report news that engages them
What a return man
if they ignored the order, what can the judge do as a recourse? Who can they put out a warrant for?
id say... 65%? I think he can walk. whether he should is another question. Its like a postpartum mom lifting 15 pounds I think not showing video of him swinging a club yesterday is very telling
my fucking 2 year old can count to 10 in Spanish because his daycare taught him already. how can someone like this have zero guilt or shame
Public school teachers would get sent to Valhalla for this!
100% this is what happened.
he's not dead as of six hours ago. I cant speak for the present moment
oh my god
cripes almighty
this is the world Arsenal will choose to live in this year. it may win them a couple trophies, who knows. but in the big games, it will be brilliance that determines 3 points, and brilliance is often times just randomness
thanks
they said pregnant women, infants, and breastfeeding women shouldnt drink the water and were not far away from saying no one should drink it. and this is a situation where a boil order wouldnt have worked, because its nitrates, not bacteria
the water quality thing is crazy. earlier this summer, the water utility that serves more than 20% of the state (in DM metro) told people they couldn't water their lawn because nitrates were too plentiful and the world's largest nitrate removal device couldn't keep up with the water usage
what's the location for these seats?
arsenal are going to win the title and set the sport back a decade in the process
City getting caught with their pants down in incredible fashion
to be fair, it takes less effort when the media is putting in the work of Hercules to ignore it.
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
K State is gonna survive against hockey Dakota
cripes almighty. shes always been a mess but this is a whole new level of horrid
Going for it on 4th and 2 from the 12 with 15 seconds left, you better be aiming for the end zone or at least near it. What’s the point if he gets tackled at the 7 yard line there? Insane decision
(its not quite horror obviously but its the template for what youre talking about i think)
sports horror has been done and its called Whiplash
Minnesota has the same record as Bama over the last 14 games.
I don’t necessarily wish the noles well but I admit this is a cool moment
That’s a great butterfly effect - who is the bama coach right now if they miss the playoff in ‘23
Such a good go call. missing means you give yourself the chance to have the ball last tied. getting it means more time off the clock and extending the chance to go up two scores
"the peace president"
oh noles. qué están haciendo?
