Dem Rep. Donald Norcross, who just missed 2.5 months of work due to a serious health scare, likens the burgeoning movement to elect younger Democrats to ... Soylent Green. From Joey Fox at the @njglobe.bsky.social newjerseyglobe.com/congress/its...

The sunset of the politicians who idolize Kennedy, a womanizing playboy, is upon us. It is time for the rise of the politicians who idolize Obama. Instead of being sex pests, let them go forth and make lists of their favorite albums each year even though their kids tell them it is "so cringe."

RIP, Shitty Kroger.

Both sidesing sports is one of my political pet peeves. Because listen, I love the Dawgs, but if a candidate here in Georgia who went to Georgia Tech ain't hollerin' "The Hell with Georgia!" and "Piss on 'em!" then they won't be getting my vote.

2026: HAWKS

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

Brad Lander via @jfrejnyc.bsky.social on Insta: “I am proud as a Jewish New Yorker to be on that slate alongside a Muslim New Yorker. Jewish New Yorkers and Muslim New Yorkers are not going to be divided against each other. Our safety, our freedoms, our thriving are bound up together.”

The old white dudes pissing and moaning about how they don't watch the NBA because "nobody plays defense" are going to start watching now that an elite defensive team won the title, right? Because their disdain for the NBA is definitely about effective team defense and not about something else.

Myles Turner signs with the Atlanta Hawks when?

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

PSA for studio analysts: This is why you don't "just nut up and play" with a calf strain

Give him the Achilles of someone who doesn't matter, like one of those kids from Stranger Things. They're too old now!

“Non Contact”

Nooooooooooooooooo! This fucking sucks so fucking hard.

Hali is a menace.

In this moment, @ricksteves.bsky.social's 2009 episode on Iran might be the most enlightening and important thing you could watch. And the full episode is available for free on YouTube.

I really cannot stand these types of posts. First off, who is this even for? There's not some huge crowd of Trumpers on here. And second, "Donald Trump is a madman who is bad in a whole bunch of ways" was not some forbidden knowledge that people only understood because the Dem candidate said so

I want to watch NBA Finals coverage. But the possibility of Stephen A. Smith nonsense looming over every second of the broadcast is driving me away. Not saying anything that hasn't been a said 1,000,000 times, but ESPN's team is so, so much worse than the Inside The NBA squad.

You know how they treat women and gay people there right? That’s what this here bomb is going to solve.

“I did not have sex with a couch, I had sex with a couch’s cushions”

This is absolutely insane shit to write down and publish. The left scared her. This might beat allll the other NYT headlines. Truly spectacular. The GOP banned abortion, the GOP said they would prosecute doctors providing abortions, the 6 Republican appointed SCOTUS judges overturned Roe.

Oh no we toured those three Iranian nuclear facilities on our honeymoon so today is especially hard for us

When an SEC team goes 6-6.

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

If this kid needs me to introduce him to a bunch of progressive guys who love sports, wrestling, fishing, and eating garbage, just let me know. Because that's like the vast majority of the dudes who make up my family and friends.

it is funny how many people affiliated with the secret police have had to say "stop making fun of the secret police, the guy in the tac vest that covers him like a training bra is a hero, he tracked down and subdued two hospice orderlies using only the W-2 forms they file annually"

I worked with Stacy Funderburke to preserve Red's Farm as an urban farm preserve in Ormewood Park. The Conservation Fund was a great partner. So, I am not surprised he spearheaded what might be the most important American conservation effort of my lifetime. Thank you, Stacy.

Here's a fun stoner tune from Shel Silverstein for all the kids who remember their mom reading "Where The Sidewalk Ends" to them aloud. Happy Friday, y'all!

The Economist has a new state-by-state estimate of Trump’s approval out this week (built in small part on a MRP model I wrote while I worked there). Trump is underwater in 15 states he won in 2024, including: WI -8 MI -8 PA -7 NV -5 GA -4 NC -4 AZ -4 www.economist.com/interactive/...

Nonstop rain in Georgia has the Chanterelles going crazy.

The Joe Rogan discourse before Joe Rogan...

You can see the ICE agents in their minivans then the LAPD cars in the back appearing to block the Dodger Stadium parking lot entrance. When I asked an LAPD officer if they are blocking ICE from entering the parking lot she said “put it this way. The Dodgers don’t want them coming in.”

Trump officially issues another "What's a law, really?" TikTok executive order — ignoring the single-delay limit in the law, let alone the conditions required for that delay.

since younger people are asking how shockingly stupid things were in 2003, may I present to you this circa-03 sign that I bought from a local restaurant and their (unrelated) going out of business sale a few years later

The World Meteorological Organization went with "Erick?!?" Pathetic. My disdain for "Erik" knows no bounds, but at least a decision was made. "Erick" is the cowards way out. Would have preferred "Aerick" or "Erict" or some other abomination to this fucking garbage. Do better, meteorologists.
