Just a reminder that Kash raised money for January 6 rioters, including co-producing a benefit single in which incarcerated rioters sing the national anthem while Trump recites the pledge of allegiance.

Letting the days go by…

I have no concrete timeline, nor a map of pins and string to connect dots… but just my gut and a hunch. The remainder of June 2025 is going to be uniquely awful. Future historians will argue over the root causes and the movements and the flashpoints…

Someone is trying to start a fight.

Hear me out: El Grande Americano wins the Money in the Bank — but Chad Gable isn’t allowed to cash it in. Now he’s got to maintain two different identities, and watch as PERFECT cash-in moments fade away before him while he’s trying to find the damned mask and briefcase. Comedy gold.

The guy singing the anthem for #MoneyInTheBank needs to come back for Hell In A Cell. (He’s got several keys to spare.)

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

At lunch today, I saw a man wearing a retro Reagan/Bush ‘84 T-shirt. I think it’s safe to say at this point that anyone wearing that is *not* MAGA — the MAGA-activated only buy MAGAwear, and find so much of the Reagan/Bush platform too unpalatable.

"Prisons all over the United States are withholding books from prisoners, but not because they contain contraband. Books are becoming harder to receive based on their content."

It’s okay. It didn’t burn any gas and was all computer

POPCORN SHORTAGE

It was wide.

Prediction: Tonight’s “A Closer Look” on @latenightseth.bsky.social is gonna be epic.

@sickoscommittee.org I borrowed your graphic and mashed it up for a worthy cause.

This would have been a great viral marketing stunt for a science-fiction movie. “Let’s open it and see what’s inside!”

Does anyone have any good plant documentaries I haven't seen yet? 🌱 Watched Green Planet and the one on trees talking to each other... I dont have Prime, just Max, Paramount, Peacock and Netflix (just fyi)

No it doesn't.

“Preparation starts with the individual.” Also, “We are cutting back on weather forecasts and are denying the existence of hurricane season.”

Dismissed by DEI: Trump’s Purge Made Black Women With Stable Federal Jobs an “Easy Target”

A great post that I missed at first from @faineg.bsky.social, about the triumph of logistics

heads up If you are using this moderator account it is intentionally adding people like myself and other journalists and academics to it claiming they are mis/disinformation in an attempt to manipulate the platform. It would be great if @bsky.app would take action against those labelers.

I heard someone refer to the Pacers as “the Indiana Fever’s boys’ team” and that’s how they shall be known to me henceforth.

Never before in the history of humanity has anyone turned a fifth place tie in a college swim meet into such a lucrative grift.

Thinking about how Michael Dukakis was an actual Army veteran and yet his appearing in a tank that one time became synonymous with loser LARP cosplay for 30 years instead of this bullshit.

Pride is not my month - I'll leave the real speaking about it to those whom it affects more, but I will say this: My community is an LGBTQIA+ friendly place. I fight to make it as safe as I can for everyone to chill, hang, and enjoy. If you need a supportive dad, congrats: you've got one here :)
