This has long been one of my many favorite things about Discworld. It’s populated by normal people. One of the lines is something like small lives. I absolutely adore the ‘normalness‘ of the Discworld population.
Oh buddy! Tonight's game at Vault 202 is a biggin.

One big difference between US and Europe: EU actually does things that benefit people
I’m so used to money running roughshod in US affairs that I suffer whiplash when corporations here are made to behave
surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters
Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed.
Get big money out of politics.
Strengthen unions and boost wages.
Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more...
This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for.
It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.
this is why Dems need to go as hard as possible on reforms and actually fixing things rather than kick the can, because "people will remember how bad things were and not put these folks back in charge" is a demonstrably false statement
Got rid of the actual good stuff the league had for fans (Extratime podcast, for example) and turned it into TikTok Messi Cam . Com
The league wants a marketing website. Wouldn’t having top tier coverage of the league be a good way to get eyes?
Why doesn’t the extremely successful and self sufficient Extratime podcast not exist anymore? And remains without a replacement?
trying to double check official stats on MLSsoccer dot com is no longer reliable. Diego Luna scored last night. His profile page on the league site says he didn't.
It's such mind numbingly basic stuff. These mistakes are so small time.
What a game #RSL vs #SDFC. RSL being attacking, fun, and winning is so enjoyable to have again. Its been a long time since it seemed there was a coherent roster build and playstyle plan that was working.
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."
OOP
New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.
The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.
It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.
Mamdani is out here making career politicians look like booty crack. Soon, New Yorkers will have universal child care……….. Imagine people making decisions for their state instead of greedy boot-licking bastards making decisions for themselves and protecting the rich. He's been fun to watch. 👏🏾
I wrote the intro to this article in 2024- after watching Pablo chat with a barrista.
Months (years) of jotting notes, collecting tales, and a 1v1 later, I hope I did him justice.

bringing back shame and social sanction for being a bigoted asshole is good, actually
Dear Media:
Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass.
We don’t need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.
Love having this coverage on KSL again!

If there are any Democrats who are thinking of running for the presidency on 2028 on anything less than a clear agenda of widespread prosecution for this administration's corruption and fundamental structural changes to ensure it can't happen again, they should just stop right there.
Screenshot of a tweet by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) capturing a Senate exchange in which Elizabeth Warren challenges IRS Commissioner Bisignano over whether tax cuts for Meta were paid for by cutting healthcare coverage. When Bisignano says he doesn't see the two as correlated, Warren presses: "Did you not follow that?" The embedded video shows Warren in a blue blazer gesturing at a Senate hearing.
She's so good at this.

The MAGA GOP just voted to decimate Minnesota's vital tourism and recreation sector by opening up the pristine Boundary Waters to mining by a foreign billionaire.
MAGA Minions: Please explain how destroying American wetlands to give away US resources to foreign billionaires is "America First."
I think it is preferable to have politicians who have, at some point in their lives, lived like a normal person
except "be ready to" is understating it, like by a lot
“Why does [insert thing here] suck now” is reliably answered by a) private equity, b) AI, or c) both
this will last until the next time Zohran gets him in a room at which point Trump will start waving a DSA flag for fifteen minutes until Stephen Miller wrests it out of his hand
an underrated, unforgivable belief that remains prevalent among pols and normies is that a rising tide lifts all boats when it’s been clear forever that a rising tide simply drowns the people on low lying land
