My kids drink 480 ounces of water a day and are still thirsty all the time. Every six months they demand the latest water bottle. when I mention water fountains it’s like grandpa talking about how actors used to have real class

MSNBC has zero moral authority to talk about cowardice of Disney, ABC, or Republicans for bending the knee to MAGA when they did exact thing in their termination of me and others. They are doing the exact thing they complain about others doing.

The US military will likely find that Charlie Kirk fans wanted to say bigoted things and maybe become podcasters, not sacrifice and put themselves at risk for national service.

There was a period when Schilling came across as quite reasonable!

No magic cures but if you can take a couple long walks in the woods they can’t hurt. And remember that moods/feelings pass and imagine yourself on the other side. It’s an act of faith, I know. Hang in there!

Ya. In general I am sure just asking people if they know who someone is will have more people saying they knew when they didn’t than the reverse (which would be weird). Even just people who mix up names. When nyt does photos quiz (definitely not the same but adjacent) always lower than you’d think

I agree they wanted to cancel for bottom line reasons but think the added benefit they saw was from kowtowing to Trump, they knew it wouldn’t look good but maybe not *how* bad. I doubt they thought it would look virtuous
volcanicsand.bsky.social (@volcanicsand.bsky.social) reply parent
for me "eh whatever" is a decent response to things like celebrating Charlie Kirk. Obviously it's absurd but just gray rock this shit

Kimmel’s bland normie views are worthless
volcanicsand.bsky.social (@volcanicsand.bsky.social) reply parent
The crucial thing, according to the President of Barnard, is expanding the spectrum and logically the only way to do that is to prioritize the outré. The fact that a view might be incoherent and held by 3 people on Earth actually works in its favor—these views tend to be spectrum-expanding
volcanicsand.bsky.social (@volcanicsand.bsky.social) reply parent
The President of Barnard believes in having the widest possible spectrum of views. Kimmel doesn’t really add to that. It works like this: you invite a speaker who thinks Hitler was too soft on Jews. Then you invite another speaker who thinks the prior speaker was too soft on Jews. Ad infinitum.

It pains me a little as a Pats fan but Peyton and Eli are so much better at the commentary. Belichick is good at the commentary! Brady is not.

You never know but I would be surprised if he turned out to be good at coaching. My guess is he would spend all his time yelling about everyone's work ethic and being mad they are not Tom Brady.

The thing about Ezra--and I don't mean this as a moral judgment or even an attack, just an observation--is that if you actually pay attention to what he says he doesn't seem very bright. He sort of has the trappings of a clever person but...isn't, really.

previously reported on a number of quotes attributed to Kirk, including that he once said some prominent Black women didn't have "brain processing power" to be taken seriously, that he claimed Jewish money was ruining U.S. culture and that he called passing the Civil Rights Act a "huge mistake."
