Thank you!

Jimmy Clausen for Heisman YouTube video by Jeremy Bronson

50 bucks to the Bowl is cool so I’ll allow Douglas to dunk on a shitty Michigan team. However, here’s a palette cleanse.

The reporting is still excellent, if pretty understaffed, but this is the kind of garbage that led me to kill my subscription after a dozen years.

Bezos is a worm.

*dork like me. Autocorrect didn’t like that word.

That and the global market for fuel means my friends at O’Hare are paying a ton to fuel up domestic flights compared to before Donald played general. Even a door like me could see this one coming.

You’re awesome. We Lions fans, who historically have zero luck, are fortunate to have your work on the regular to enjoy.

Serious question because I’m pure Midwest and know next to nothing about the festival: why would Coachella ban them? This is factual stuff.

There is the schadenfreude. Or is that just me?

If the dollar is replaced by the yuan as a transactional currency, it’s not a huge economic deal. BUT there goes our ability to use sanctions on nations as a lever (ie Russia, N. Korea).

I can do it within character limits: “All of them”

When he actually loses support of, say, 15% of evangelicals I’ll believe there’s a shift. In the meantime, all I hear is the usual, “Oh, he’s imperfect but he’s soooooo much better than the alternatives.” 🙄

You don’t give a shit, but I stopped watching 60 Minutes when Bari Weiss killed the CECOT piece. I forgot I was following this account and just killed that. I’ll consider coming back when I see a change of direction at the top, so likely never. See ya.

Agree. Bye Eric. I’m not gonna self-flagellate over this asshole. Now someone please get Rs to do the teeniest tiniest moral good. I’ll wait…

Barf. “Not really that big. Totally fits L’Enfant’s vision.” Compare this fascist friendly design with the war memorials around the reflecting pool, esp Vietnam. It’s tacky, Hitler design friendly, no correlation to American ideals (freedom, justice, self-sacrifice).

Syrian Billionaires Needed a Favor in Washington. They Invoked the Trump Name.

All the “Biden Crime Family” people need to be strapped in a chair Clockwork Orange style and forced to read articles on how Donald and the fam operate EVERY SINGLE DAY.

“Somebody shorted the oil markets today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement that everything was going to be great. And if you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that’s happened at least 3x… a pattern.”

The most corrupt regime ever.

Thanks for the gift! Of note: Stupid and the Gang have cost US >$4 bill in tourism and $300 mill in alcohol sales (so far). Further, being told I suck by a guy who lied about his VERY friendly relationship with a pedophile wouldn’t bother me that much.

Exactly. So if Donald and the gang had said, “we need to be more aggressive with finding and deporting people who have committed violent crimes”, I’d argue that was already happening but would understand it. Mass deportation is MASS deportation. Plus they never hid the racism. So, frustrating to me.

Sigh. They voted for this idiot in spite of THIS which makes them, well, idiots for now saying “oh, this isn’t what I voted for.

The FBI Director Is MIA Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

OMG

Kash Patel appears to be a drunken national security threat

"Meetings and briefings had to be rescheduled for later in the day as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights."

"A request for 'breaching equipment' ... was made last year because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors."

Old guy here. Pattern since at least 1980: something spooks the oil market, prices rocket up over the course of a few days, spooky issue solved, prices don’t drop back to start point for several months to a year.

Nope, no price gouging or windfalls, no siree.

Clarence Thomas Can’t Get American History Right In his recent broadside against the twentieth century, the justice is as ill informed as he is mean-spirited.

I enjoy studying history on a very amateur basis and even I look at Thomas’ arguments and say wtf. He lies rather than deal with inconvenient fact.

ICE Arrests 85-Year-Old French Widow Who Married Her G.I. Sweetheart

Again…if you thought “mass deportation now” meant only “the worst of the worst”, you’re an idiot.

My god. This was written by someone over age 10?

THAT is a deep dive.

Hear ya, but “Mary Magdalene was a hooker” is nowhere in the Gospels and was a misogynistic invention of the early church.

Franklin Graham is the poster child for Christian nationalism — and he’s a liar – Baptist News Global To understand the insidious nature of Christian nationalism, look no further than Franklin Graham’s appearance at the Republican National Convention last night.

My dog has more integrity than Franklin Graham.

"They are quality human beings ... there was no reason that was provided to us as to why they were removed" -- military officials acknowledge they have no idea why some of their colleagues were purged by the Trump administration

Good ol’ Costco has announced that they’re looking at ways to reimburse customers. Otherwise…
