I think a lot of people think the point of sports is that your team will win and then you will be happy. That is not the point of sports. The point of sports is to be sad in a group

What if we say go fuck yourselves how about that

To paraphrase the great Jennifer Tilly:

He's lucky he's an idiot.

"Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated which day the New York Mets suffered their 11th straight loss. It was on Sunday, not Monday. Even the Mets cannot lose on an off day."

Two copy editors high-fiving so hard right now

A young gay man looked at me very sincerely yesterday and said, with gleaming earnestness, "People your age still have so much to teach us," and I don't want to go into details, but if anyone has any experience with stuff like disposing of a body, please message me.

The obvious solution is a national law that mandates fair, objective redistricting everywhere, but *conservatives do not want that*. To be subject to the same rules as everyone else -- as all the lesser people -- is inherently offensive to them.

(All I ever do is restate Wilhoit.)

A lot of Dems in competitive races need to take a closer look at their districts. The prevailing wisdom among leadership & consultants is to avoid impeachment talk; that seems more likely to signal weakness and non-alignment with the majority than to actually pick up swing voters.

The Hormuz situation seems so so bad, like gonna-destabilize-half-the-globe-and-tank-the-economy bad, with no obvious resolution even plausible, and it’s still getting the “distant crisis mostly of interest to nerds that will work itself out” treatment in American press

dhuartson: Don't let anyone talk you out of spending $15 on a new hobby. That $50 will be the best $400 you ever spent.

This is not wrong.

i believe that's some good news that deserves the ole razzle dazzle

Baseball blooper videos and America's Funniest Home Videos were the equivalent of one pez tablet of internet dispersed at regular intervals, which is exactly as much as we need. society was getting somewhere.

remember when you'd wait in line at walgreens, and they'd have a 10-foot long table filled with $3.99 VHS tapes, and a quarter of them would be baseball blooper videos, remember that, remember how beautiful it was

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now

Listen, they are building concentration camps and threatening genocide against a country of 90 million people. There is not a single remotely legal tactic that is impermissible when it comes to stopping them.

Cleated Rivalry.

the fascists have been lying, cheating and changing the rules to their benefit for years. turnabout isn't just fair play, it's the only way to maintain some semblance of a civil society.

They think you're stupid.

You can’t do that to rural voters! What are they, black people? bsky.app/profile/coll...

We need Democrats to pledge that they will be every bit as ruthless as Republicans fear we will be.

This is the most corrupt, lawless administration in history. If we don't hold people accountable—with real, serious consequences—it will only be worse next time.

make sure you choose a password that contains capital letters, numbers, and special symbols so that someday the data broker who purchases your info can go "ooh good password" after your login details are inevitably leaked in a data breach you can do nothing to prevent

This is almost certainly 100% bullshit. This isn’t how “nuclear codes” work. Shit is bad enough without spreading fud designed to make people even more afraid.

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business.

He is.

It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag.

Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.
