Stay safe out there, LA folks

being a conservative columnist at a major newspaper must rock so hard. an explicit mandate never to learn anything. approach every new day as though you just fired a roman candle directly up your own nose. that's the life

really need to make @GuysWhoDontGetBornInTheUSA

This is a known and long-standing feeling of authoritarian States. People are incentivized to report falsehoods, for various reasons, and therefore leadership doesn't have accurate information to plan against or act on. Baghdad Bob wasn't an accident or a new phenomenon

A very good tifo from LAFC supporters at their match against Sporting KC today.

Our Flag Means Death (Series, 2022 - )

The press should have learned in 2020 that just by the nature of being press, they are *bigger targets* for asshole cops. There is PRECEDENCE.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Does a Waymo talk because nothing will be funnier to me than someone setting it on fire and it driving off while saying “let’s go!” in a ball of flames

the issue is not just ICE. we can live free and safe. or we can have police like we have right now. we cannot do both

So fucking obvious it’s even more shocking than expected.

Is this the “ideological diversity” we’re supposed to want here, @mcuban.bsky.social? This bullshit from Yarvin? Is this what we’re supposed to embrace wholeheartedly??? Hard pass if that is the case.

Hey, everybody who got all hyped up about tracking down the skateboard kid? Here’s somebody it might be a lot more useful to identify

“Immigants! I knew it was them. Even when it was the bears, I knew it was them!” — Moe Syzlak, White House adviser

They are not doing this because they need to. They are doing this because they want to. They manufactured a (pretty pathetic) excuse to do this, but deep down they are doing this because they relish treating blue states and cosmopolitan cities as conquered territories.

the NBA wishes it could have the aura of the Southland Conference

Forty years ago today: Tears for Fears hits #1 with “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”. “I didn't really think anything of it, to be honest with you,” Roland Orzabal said of the arpeggiated guitar riff that opens the song. “But my wife at the time liked it. So I thought, Okay, maybe I'm wrong.”

Would have better to done nothing at all.

Megan McCardle is a black hole that swallows intelligent thought. I actually think she’s worse than the guy who was at the trib forever and wrote the same column 300x about The Machine and Mike Madigan who thought he was Royko and was really just a joke to anyone with half a brain

Love how the referee, being surrounded and mobbed by 20 angry Spanish and Portugal players, has the “Be a referee!” text on his shirt somehow clearly visible.

When I ask my kid to stop screaming…not to stop running around and playing and being crazy but to simply stop screaming…his reaction:

From your keyboard…

Were I the primary owner of a company that exists to service in large part the US federal government’s space program I would not make an explicit threat to strand American astronauts in space if I wanted to continues running and owning my company that exists to service the US space program.

This photo makes him look like a stand up comic who just bombed lmao

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

Comerica PA playing "Hot blooded" during a fight with the ump is pretty funny

The vast majority of servicemen and women will not follow an unlawful order. However, I trained and served active duty. And, I can tell you one thing for sure: there is a cohort who will.

If you’re ever looking for an ump to pull the “Let me be the first to say ‘Farewell!’” bit off, it’s probably going to be this guy.

Asking for consent? See Cristiano it's not that hard

Charmin soft

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

Seeing the term “less lethal” is going to make me go on a Sideshow Bob-level “attempted chemistry” rant.

on the one hand, lol. on the other hand, lmao.

All of the talk about "peaceful protest" makes me think of all the times I have been part of a protest where the police cracked someone over the head and then charged that person with assault. They will call you violent. You can't control that or other people.
