Bars in Washington, DC had been struggling since Covid. So why are the city’s Democrats so eager to get rid of Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, and Jeanine Pirro?

i know cheating on your marriage is very common i dont by any means think it should bar you from public life or anything — grace is the miracle that powers the universe — but i do think it‘s a dealbreaker for leadership. a willingness to betray your partner is a red flag you just can’t get around.

The only reason BlueSky even exists is that it's essentially Twitter methadone.

Today's City Cast Denver episode is chaotic in a good way. A perfect Friday vibe.

The reason people accuse Trump of creating distractions is because that does kind of look like what he's doing, but that's a misdiagnosis of the data. Trump isn't cultivating a distracted media environment; he's a victim of one. He doesn't cause distractions; he's just the most distracted man alive.

It is so discouraging to see a few usually not political Denver mega-churches very recently hosting events for Victor Marx.

The "surprise job loss" headlines reminds me of when movies for underserserved, segmented audiences (women, minorities, people of faith) "over perform" at the box office. The punditry ignored the obvious that didn't effect them.

I walked into a different theater while CinemaScore polling and suddenly came across the bar scene in SCREAM 7. What's wild was just enough children went into that auditorium that I thought it was HOPPERS.

TIRED: “four weeks”

WIRED: “forever.”

If Trump really wants to destroy Iran he should go be its president for a few months.

I hope you're right

A self-proclaimed Christian nationalist preaching at the Pentagon. Honestly, that was not on my bingo card.

Great writing from @wordandway.bsky.social!

Talarico Derangement Syndrome is a real condition among conservative/right wing pastors on X/Twitter.

It was sad to attend a Super Bowl party with people from my church and watch two halftime shows in separate rooms, which felt like cultural symbolism. This was rooted in discomfort with an artist singing in Spanish. This fragmentation feels unsustainable as ideology outranks fellowship for tribalism

Cultural moments stopped being shared experiences and instead became ideological tests, where preferences are moral or political virtue signaling. I’ve had many challenging conversations this past year even earlier today with fellow Christians I love and disagree with, because my faith matters to me

A lot of this resonates with me, and to preface, the Trump years created a permission structure that accelerated the politicization of everything by default. The Super Bowl is the last thing that is monoculture, and we couldn't have that.

The current Plugged In writer goes to a lot of press screenings in Denver. Nice guys!

These Super Bowl commercials are recession indicators

I need journalists to ask Hollywood actors why they’re in pro-AI commercials.

AI has fried the brains of a lot of marketers.

CNN: Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost assaulted at Sundance Film Festival event, police say By Aleena Fayaz Updated Jan 24, 2026

NBC News: Man lunges at Ilhan Omar during town hall and tries to spray her with unknown substance January 27, 2026

Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

Why are videos uploading with no sound on Bluesky in 2026? I looked for answers online with no luck.

Texas solar power surpassed coal in 2025 for the first year ever. Here's why. In 2025 — for the first year ever — solar arrays provided more electricity to Texas’ main power grid than coal-fired power plants.

This is a watershed moment for Texas - for the first time ever, solar supplied more electricity than coal in 2025.

I will say it again: At this rate, TX will likely decarbonize its electricity sector faster than CA.

TX clean electricity is growing at 13%,m more than twice that of CA's at 6%.

This is such a white-centered headline. Like Black Churches and Black Masjids have never existed for 400 years?

I didn't work for the first time on a Saturday since early November and I don't know what to do with myself. What do people do on weekends? And before then it was Labor Day weekend. This is a weird feeling.

‘Viceroy of Venezuela’ Rubio Cornered Over Whether He’s De Facto Ruler “Obviously I’m very involved in this,” the secretary of state admitted after being asked for the third time about his “running” of Venezuela.

Marco Rubio's arc from prez candidate to Trump's Sec of State meant squandering whatever small dignity, principle, and self-respect he once possessed. He did it all for this moment: to start an unconstitutional war, repeating the same mistakes as Iraq, and potentially destabilizing South America.
