Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

MAGA is a death cult

His immigration message isn't getting lost. It became crystal clear to a wider audience

A view of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, from the Guthrie Theater.

From the Guthrie:

Those were excellent, clear and convincing—and they really stressed me out! I often think of the % of nations that proceed into authoritarianism after certain gates are breached. I had a slim hope after 2021, but the data was right. Now we have to hope to get out of it more quickly than the norm.

Bright red northern lights

Red, green and white aurora

Green aurora around a red center with a red pillar to the ground, looks like a space laser

Drove west of the Twin Cities metro and caught the best of the northern lights tonight!

A ton of faves on here, but I give the edge to Let Me Blow Ya Mind, a song I get stuck in my head weirdly often. It still rules.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Became a subscriber to support you and Katey, honestly no other reason, and stuck it out even after they fumbled and lost her. Now I’ll let it go. I can’t wait to see you thrive elsewhere.

one of the single best deals in streaming. i've been paying for PBS Passport for years. it rules

this is like in a fantasy novel when the heroes are fighting off a hideous bus-sized worm monster but then a chitinous mutant bear-thing shows up and they start fighting each other

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

Best sales pitch yet! I’ve watched very little Marvel since Endgame and Spider-Man (whatever the last one was called), and the amount of material that has built up, and my zero interest in slogging through it, has made it easier to just say No Thanks to it all.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Dear god let this man cook.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

This is my lucky beer at Target Center, so I’m bestowing that luck onto you tonight! Sad I can’t join (was supposed to be out of town; got sick instead 🤧)—have a blast and Go Wolves! 🐺🐺

When you leave, please don’t forget about us and our hunger to always be highly ranked on lists!!!

if you replaced these guys' inboxes with a woman sportswriter's, they'd commit suicide by lunchtime

It is truly fucking wild how the introductory thesis of this argument is, "As we all know, men will find any loophole they can to be sex criminals and degenerates. My primary source on this is me, a degenerate."

We have a puppet of Russia as President. What an utterly disgraceful, shaming, abhorrent moment for this country.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If you are in the mood for a similar tense vibe (but less funny, unfortunately), and you have the right streaming services for it, Line of Duty is one of my faves. It’s British police internal affairs department investigating cases, with larger conspiracies going All. The Way. To The TOP!!!

We’ve used Fox Tax for 15 years now I think. They’ve saved us so much over the years! Good people, good at their jobs.

10 years ago a single bathroom bill passed in north carolina received so much pushback from all angles that the fucking NBA boycotted the state btw. that’s where we were then versus now. cool cool cool
