It was collapsing after we dustbinned the UN 2001-03. It's full-on collapsed now.

These are terrible photographs. Pete Souza and Eric Draper spoiled us with their timeless photographs. These photos are garbage and I’d reject them if I was on the photo desk when they came thru. f8 and be there.

In this Ohio diner, Fordow is what you say when you get hit by your buddy’s pick-up truck. But they do know this: Trump’s decision to wait two weeks on Iran is the greatest military move since Hannibal brought elephants over the Alps

you know what, I’m impressed, we really did mostly do the right thing here and it doesn’t seem to have resulted in any sort of sustained harassment campaign because he just got blocked to oblivion great work, well done everyone

i really can't get over what rank choice voting does to the dynamic of campaigns and between candidates regardless of its merits (which seem very good), it's just a healthier political dynamic

musk is genuinely not very bright and it's never been subtle, which makes the 15+ year tech press effort to mythologize him all the more embarrassing

I think I opted in to like two block lists when I joined Bluesky and then forgot about them. But one blocked JD Vance so that’s my golden dome.

We rebranded “French Fries” into “Freedom Fries” because France didn’t want to join in immediately in attacking Iraq even though the people that attacked us were Saudi

I remain convinced this is happening at all because our forebears who faced fascism in the mid 20th C. had all but died off, and we celebrated their heroism and sacrifice without talking about why it was absolutely necessary.

The biggest disappointment in politics in a very long time.

Tucker Carlson's interview laid bare that Ted Cruz hasn't bothered to truly inform himself about Iran and that he's not someone whose opinion anyone should give any weight to. It's sad that it took someone as awful as Carlson, who is no journalist, to do what real journalists should've been doing.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Speaking at the annual convention of the Nat'l Assoc. of Shortwave Broadcasters today here in Cary, NC was obviously like preaching to the choir regarding HF radio’s value in reaching global audiences during times of crises as VOA did for 83 years until silenced by our own government two months ago.

The problem with trying to analyze this statement of Trump’s, as it’s the problem with ANYTHING Trump says, is twofold: He’s an idiot, and he’s a pathological liar. Which is why it’s pointless to analyze anything he says.👇

still astonishing to me that our country is purging & punishing the people who saved millions of lives just a few years ago while giving their power to the ones who killed millions.

Sports was one of America's most accessible forms of entertainment. Now it's paywalled, splintered and sold to the highest bidder. Fandom isn't being nurtured. It's being mined. For @nytopinion.nytimes.com on on the state of sports, and what it says about America: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/o...
