I was kidding
American men responding well to being chased by people who have secretly spent too much time and money analyzing their every move and utterance is not always a lock
😂 Hey I'm not an expert but maybe start with the basics before you blow $20 mil. • "He's Just Not That Into You" by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo (paperback) — $15 • "Sex and the City" tv series (Max subscription) — $20
A lot of pundits are in the career stage known as “flailing to retain relevance”.
I hope this wasn't the case with most of your likes...?
Uhhhm I'm seeing a pink heart at the bottom of this post indicating that at some point I liked it and consciously chose to alert the wider community about that but there's no way
Schumer lost the country at "guac."
At least now I have a fail proof line to end my holiday newsletter this year
Why only one exclamation point this time???
i can't wait to laugh to myself about this all day. everyone will think i got laid!
Wait I just thought of something else they like. Guns!
Most accurate take. God bless you
We needed another strong RB
I was thinking a running back or edge but I'll give Coach Johnson until October before I start to question him, and no yelling until November

I've never liked a cat post before.
I don't know what kind of social circles Mike Johnson travels in, that he knows of enough 30 y/o able-bodied people on Medicaid who do not have jobs and play video games all day—but he must know a significant number, since he repeatedly describes them in detail as the poster child of Medicaid Waste.
Yes they need a de-programming program
Live Laugh Lo — what now?
of whom I'm sure I would like and respect in real life —but then I thought, I want people to know about this! Also I hit a snapping point. I suppose it's hypocritical of me to wish you well. But thank you for reaching out. I hope my better angels take over again soon!
on social media with zero chance he would ever read it or listen, that he should not spend his time and political capital on protecting farmers from the predictable consequence of their majority's choice. I'm not proud of it. I immediately thought of the real people I was advocating against —most 6/
But here's a harder, non-rhetorical question: Did they vote this way expecting to be exempted from any adverse effects? In any case, I know not all farmers voted for this. But right now, my give a damn's busted. And that is why I gave in to my vindictive desires and told the senator in a reply 5/
result in losing market share to Brazil...on a permanent basis? Did they not result in a bailout from the federal government (the amount of which basically erased any U.S. profit)? Did Donald Trump campaign on enacting tariffs again? Yes. Did farmers overwhelmingly vote for him again? Yes. 4/
Because based on experience and some recent reading, I'm starting to suspect that the vast majority of farmers do not base their vote on policies that will benefit them. Correct me if I'm wrong but were farmers not amongst the most affected by Trump's first-term China tariffs? Did they not 3/
Democratic party apparatus, so I'm not the best person to talk to about messaging to rural Americans — that actually sounds like a fitting task for you and the senator! But tell me, in your heart, do you really think there's *anything* Democrats can say to make farmers as a group vote for them? 2/
Technically I said "most," but I take your point...It's small-minded, mean-spirited, and vindictive of me to encourage the senator to refuse aid to a group of people that expect and need it to survive. In fact I'd never done so before this month. I'm not an elected official or part of the 1/
WHAT omg omg
Who is turning down a literal invitation to The Inn of the Mountain Gods?
I've seen clips of you speaking on the House floor, you seem cool. I'm in IL but just fyi.

"to every card there is a season"
Hahaha Days of the Week underwear but with the political crises of any given week in this administration
thanks for the birthday wishes
wait, is this like the feeling of getting prize tickets from ski-ball?
🧐 i know this sounds crazy but...i'm starting to suspect my society's leaders in academia and the press and the government are not, like, as advertised
Hey CBS. Just spitballing here but what if you acted like a free, fair, un-cowed press is actually a pillar of the democratic system and therefore, capitulating --to a president who uses his power to punish said press when he doesn't like what it says-- ISN'T JUST ABOUT YOU or your bottom line.
🙄
in conclusion, LIKE FOLLOW RE-POST 😂
Days of the Week underwear but with the political crises of any given week in this administration

They all shake their heads disapprovingly
The play was literally drawn up to give Vance an easy but key touch and he fumbled it. Sad
Fumbling what should have been an easy play is the hallmark of this administration
You're talking about sex right
It's all Shelby Foote
Like if you're watching Ken Burns' The Civil War rn
no thank YOU. so jealous of your name
I posted this yesterday because I thought it was Easter. Does this seem weird bc I professed to know a good amount about Jesus yet clearly do not go to church or have the ability to read a calendar? Yes.
Good night ladies
I don't know why this made me laugh
hey! it's rigorous science! there will be a graph
Dear Ayy, Thank you for sharing this fascinating raw data! Our best people are currently conducting sophisticated experiments related to the phenomenon you so kindly brought to our attention. *BURRRPPP* Regardly, Science
Miss Marple Meets Chicago pls
I mean I guess he was not my hero until i just realized it now
i hate myself for liking this, thanks
Happy Easter to those who celebrate Happy Easter to those of any faith or nonfaith that know Jesus was a historical figure who preached radical love acceptance compassion and challenged the hypocrisy of leaders and the status quo He's still my hero
I just don't comprehend the widespread, majority view that Donald Trump is a victim of the FBI, the DOJ, and most news outlets in America. Of Chris Krebs. Of military generals. Of law firms.
I have nothing to give but my word, my respect, admiration. It's a really good article. I pray you can keep doing it
Hey. The first thing I read that you wrote was just a few days ago, and I know it won't be the last. I read so so many WSJ, WaPo, NYT, Substack articles everyday. And I'm not technically qualified nor a subject matter expert, but — your article was a bit of an anchor for me. Substantive & articulate
i'm cool
er just quoting captain obvious
Why does this sound familiar but with different verbs
@deeks549.bsky.social the past day makes sense now
🫡
All the replies made me laugh too
Hard pass
I get that. 💔
It's aggressive at this point
Idk, it sounds banal enough to be true. I bet Trump mumbled something
Yeah...my main impression of Maher's account was surprise that *he* was surprised that Donald Trump could be personable at a private dinner amongst his friends.
This is a casual statement made in earnest
@adamkinzinger.bsky.social Have you ever met this guy? (Harry; Prince Harry; Duke of Sussex; maybe Harry Windsor?) From my point of view, you have a few things in common

I'm literally behind on manufactured interesting things, aka tv shows
Someone needs to threaten to behead one of the new direwolf puppies unless GRRM finishes the series.
Too. Many. Cats.
Start with asking the US Representatives in Illinois why they voted that way. They represent the farmers. Why did Miller, Lahood, and Bost vote against our farmers? And if those same farmers voted for trumps tariffs, why are we denying them what they wanted?
Perfect response
Why? Most farmers voted for Trump's tariffs.
Ummm "we" already did our part by voting for you. It's your turn. See how that works?

Social media team 💯
They were covered by BBC World. That's something.
That's where people have to use their brains
Your Comms team is nailing it, sir
I want this to be on the BBC World.
Who says hours of scrolling won't be worth it? This is a testament to perseverance
I paused the tariff but I did not pause it equally
Dude they voted for this. Let them eat pork.
Totally agree. Have you considered writing to your senator about it?
He should bring the tariffs back again now for a laugh
How live news hosts don't just burst out laughing I'll never know
