Oprah started bringing him on her show because he was a trial consultant when she got sued by Texas cattle people. It had nothing to do with his abilities as a psychiatrist.

Rankings Week continues. I have a time machine and you don't so we're going to go where I want to go (where I want to go is 1992 to watch George H.W. Bush puke on the Japanese Prime Minister live) channel-6.ghost.io/rankings-wee...

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

So many of our loudest First Amendment enthusiasts have no idea that freedom of assembly is right there in it, on equal footing with freedom of the press or freedom of religion

The pride flags are up at Wrigley Field 🌈⚾

ICE agents are heavily-armed fierce warriors acting with ruthless abandon but please don’t make any noises near them because that’s super scary

It's easy to pick on Apple. I certainly do. But it'll be very funny if their slowness in getting a compelling AI story at a strategic level pays off in a year or 2 when the world realizes AI is useless.

A person on the street show where Eva Longoria shows a world map to people, ask them to find Spain, and if they get it right, go to a bonus round really they have to identify a province or major city on a more detailed map of Spain.

This was always clearly the objective and many in the media also insisted on treating anyone who said so clearly like they were some kind of lunatic bsky.app/profile/carn...

Holy cats, Denzel Clarke.

Sort of like how Los Angeles was the only city to ever really pull off the Olympics, I feel like we’re uniquely suited as a city to host Siege Week. Keep sending troops! The place will still be ungovernable.

Thank you @phillies.com and Phillies fans!!! #EndALS

Oh…

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

Go Racers!

You can see why MARINES are necessary.

“Social media is helping spread information about the protests, and highlighting neighborly favors. Organizers said they are seeing more family and friends offering to run errands for those staying home out of fear of ICE raids.”

It's not me who's wrong, it's the voters

I know Mexican flags at protests aren’t a sign of a foreign invasion, and you know Mexican flags at protests aren’t a sign of a foreign invasion so maybe the problem with Mexican flags at protests is the reaction rather than the reality. Instead of attacking the protesters, try attacking the spin.

EXTEND KYLE TUCKER OR GO TO HELL

You can’t make me choose. I love them both.

This did not go unnoticed by @joshtpm.bsky.social!

One of the biggest drivers in American culture right now and for the last 25 years is the notion that you should never have to expect consequences for being an asshole

My other contribution to the "optics" debate is that if optics really meant a goddamn thing we wouldn't be in this fucking mess in the first place

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

Cotton-candy-looking-ass caps

Basically since the moment I first heard about it, I had been ambivalent to the Club World Cup. But the closer we get to it actually happening, the more and more I am becoming an active hater about it. I want it to be such a catastrophic failure that it sets FIFA back two decades.

Also, apropos of nothing in particular, if anyone tries to tell you that the protests in LA are a distraction from the budget bill, kindly remind them that the bill will MASSIVELY expand ICE’s budget, so the two things are very much related.

Also, this is the *stated goal* of this government! It's incredibly easy to make this link in the press and media!

TEN-TO-ONE

every single person in law I know locally was vocal about this election and all the networking worked lololololol

It may be the worst car ever made, all in all

Wish Scotland had scored a half-dozen more on Liechtenstein after they played my least favorite song of all time right before the second half.

Think of the how dumb the average person is and then remember half the population is dumber than them.

It’s just like with elections. You have to win over the electorate you have, not a more engaged, better-informed electorate you wish you had. That electorate has increasingly become a pipe dream since Reagan’s election.
