I feel like I am and have been for a while pretty cynical about the Supreme Court but I’m still pretty stupefied that they just let some guy and his subordinates (other random guys) come in and arbitrarily destroy a bunch of decades old congressionally-mandated agencies and programs
One of my greatest achievements in life was when as a child I convinced my parents that Age of Empires (I think AoE2 at that point) was educational and thus exempt from my fairly strict screen time restrictions
The fact that Trump had appointed a totally unqualified donor to be Secretary of the Navy leading into what turned into the biggest crisis for the US Navy since World War 2 could be covered like the media covered Michael "Brownie" Brown during Hurricane Katrina.
They choose not to do this!
He has it backward, you reach out to Musk to get someone who has produced pedophilic/child torture content BACK on twitter
“Everyone’s 12” theory undefeated
I bravely think stealing priceless historic objects from a public museum and selling them on the black market to Russian billionaires was bad
Chat is it good for your purported World Series contending team if your two best offensive players have a combined like .315 slugging percentage and .620 OPS 1/5 of the way through the season
Raleigh and Julio have combined for five home runs in 25 games and 216 total plate appearances, which isn’t ideal
getting increasingly annoyed by people pretending not to understand things
Silver knows full well that the “cheap” criticism is in the context of running the team and has absolutely nothing to do with the fucking purchase price.
Indeed, paying more for the team might lead him to be cheaper
THAT is how they’re treating the governor of the state in which she was born and raised????
this is before jaws heard about the "lifeless eyes" slur
they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement
The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!

Hegseth has, uh, not been a defense secretary who has been overly concerned with the “freedoms” of service members in any other context — gender, religion, political expression, even just, like, facial hair
This is crazier than anything any other president has ever said and won’t even make the news
How fascinating that after the right screams for half a century about the“victim mentality” of genuinely oppressed minorities they immediately embrace that mentality — often by name! — for largely fake oppression of white men
I know it’s a totally different pollster and methodology but I simply will not believe a positive Iowa poll after Seltzer’s like 20 point miss in 2024
Absolutely the funniest possible time period in which to set a minions movie. It should get a best adapted screenplay nomination next year just for that
ANCIENT GREEK PRO WRESTLING PROMOTER: ok so you're going to be what's known as a "heel"
ACHILLES: fuck you
until and unless we get some sort of good federal anti-SLAPP law democrats need to start filing these let’s-not-publicly-admit-they’re-frivolous defamation lawsuits against conservative media. The more the better.
“Feud with the Pope” is BACK as a likely Wikipedia section heading after a 400-year gap.
What do you mean it’s not legally mandated for public companies to release a memo detailing how personally evil their c-suite is. Why did we do it then.
Buttigieg’s strategy of never running for any other political office after mayor of south Bend — despite moving to a swing state! — is very odd imo
A non-negligible chance Ossoff is the next president which would have been laughable to imagine in 2017
bulk of the book is preparations for a huge preliminary injunction evidentiary hearing against [big business x]; the conservative judge seems hostile at the hearing but releases a blistering, deeply detailed opinion granting the injunction.
SCOTUS sets it aside with no explanation two days later
A partisan legislature that acts in secret.
How will they upend settled law and negatively impact millions of lives next? Will it be next Wednesday? Who knows!
The world’s dumbest podcast host and a senate-confirmed lunatic whose brain got eaten by a worm clapping like seals at an elderly man’s ability to sign his own name
Just as the founders intended
This is almost every happy couple I know
The singular way to read this is that they gave Trump what they'd give to any Republican President who had the courage to ask directly but not the handful of things that only a moron would even ask for.
