Whether it's Donald Trump attacking the Pope or Barack Obama asking for Dijon mustard on a hot dog, both men shattered Washington norms.

This is like having untrained Gravity Truthers fly a commercial airplane and then being shocked pikachu when the passengers don't like it

I know this isn't actually any weirder than any other thing? But I'm so very tired of it being expected that everyone's supposed to pretend that this is normal

Well, we keep trying "Republican murderers can never face consequences because they're special little boys who always get to do anything they want or else it'll tear the country apart" and we keep getting more evil Republican murderers murdering people, so maybe let's try something, anything else?

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

The problem was that the mine layer said, "I'll put this one here so I'll know for sure where it is later." One of the classic blunders, really.

This Easter weekend, many parents will be looking for a movie to keep their children under six amused and distracted. May I recommend the perfect film? It's even bunny-themed: WATERSHIP DOWN

Too much Billy, not enough Cloneasaurus

HA-SHAA!!!!

On this day 30 years ago, The Birdcage and Fargo opened in theaters. Crazy to think we were once handed straight up classics like that.

Oh, man. I used to run karaoke at a place in Tulsa that drew a nerd/queer/theater crowd. He came after a con once, and he was just the most gracious guy. Sat by himself at a table for 4-6 in the corner and happily let people rotate through and chat with him all night. Lots of joy that evening.

this is taking forever, just say "it's okay to put lies in the newspaper as long as they're right-wing propaganda" - no need for a long thread

Extra Points has become the de facto most important college sports business newsletter in the galaxy

John Yoo is one of the most objectively evil people in modern American history, and this absolutely absurd thread pretends he's just some normal lawyer? This is shameful.

I still think about the time in grad school that I presented at a conference at Oak Ridge National Lab where the coffee stations for attendees had a money jar next to them so that people could pay for it if their ethics rules prevented them from drinking free coffee at a meeting.

SIXTEEN WINDIANA! Hang that banner!

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

Watching 2019 LSU, getting a message from the future: "If you think this team looks inevitable, just wait for playoff-season 2025 Indiana" and immediately checking for a carbon monoxide leak

The quoted post is making me want to sort teams by which emoji best represents them and see which ones have the most schools...

Mine is "no slow motion frame-by-frame reviews." Whatever it looks like at game speed is what it is. Unfortunately this is like the one time where that isn't basically the same as the sick-ass grab rule

What will poor Eric Adams do for work?
That’s nbody’s business but the Turks!

Points scored in 2025 playoff games:

JMU 34
Ohio State 14

Time for a serious conversation about handing out these participation-trophy bids like candy. Bad TV. Safety issue. I just feel so bad for Ohio State. They should have their own junior tournament

Boycotting Constitution Hall because the DAR won’t let Marian Anderson sing has costs. It may end opera. Is that worth it? By Megan McArdle, 1939

A forlorn landscape of layered rocks in the foreground, with hills fading into the background haze. At upper top right, a small crescent moon, and a bright star.

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.

Like... how can you not be romantic about this? How can you say you like this sport, and also say you want less of this?

It's my last night home for the holidays, and I watched this game with my dad. At the end he said almost the same thing - can you believe some people want less of this? And I couldn't help but think of the epilogue scene in Moneyball in the film room.

👀👀👀👀

and there's so many, and maybe I want the translucent version, too...

The ziro colors are SO GOOD, though!!
