Because of the tariffs on printer ink, @presssec.bsky.social couldn't afford to print a larger chart www.npr.org/2025/04/02/n...

Dear Congresspeople, I don't pay you to "shrug off" "fanciful" autocrats who threaten the Constitution. I pay you to condemn them and prevent them from succeeding. www.axios.com/2025/03/31/t...

We're at the evolutionary watershed moment of Riblets on Pancakes. See you on the other side. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

"Starting to notice". Because the mistakes thus far have been so subtle... www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

They're moving. No way in hell Haslam bought land in Brook Park without KNOWING they're moving. This is all just theater. Cleveland trying to save face. They blew it in the nineties even building the current stadium. It was already terrible when it opened. www.dawgsbynature.com/2025/3/19/24...

Do better, Reuters. Under the U.S. Constitution, federal judges are part of a separate branch of government EQUAL with the executive branch. Not "considered equal". It's a critical leg to the barstool our whole idea sits on. It is the essence of American democracy. www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

It's like she doesn't know about the Browns and their QBs www.brownsnation.com/kenny-picket...

Of course, once everything gets "fixed" (whatever that means), these tariffs will fall off and prices will go back down, right? Right? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Theaters should be required to disclose the movie start time, not the advertising start time. If I want to see trailers and ads, I can arrive early to optionally do that. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/m...

It's time to officially categorize the @thenba.space as entertainment. NBA has always been a narrative-driven league, but this trade proves it's no longer a sport. This trade alone should collapse sports book betting on the league. It hosts shows now, not games. www.theringer.com/2025/02/02/n...

Every once in a while I'm reminded that broadcast radio is somehow still a thing. It's mystifying to me. A) who's listening to this? B) who would actually buy a radio station at this point? www.wkyc.com/article/news...

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

Congrats @LakeErieFd & @OhioSeaGrant for “Ice”, first in the Lake Erie Video Series (www.youtube.com/watch?v=djUF...)! Lake Erie is an invaluable resource for @OHHeartofitAll and lakeshore communities. @ErieCCF is focused on safeguarding natural resources like Lake Erie and its waterways

Maybe, and I'm just spit balling here, but maybe stop thinking of it as "taking back power" and start thinking of it as "helping everyone who isn't a billionaire". I have a hunch that might resonate a little better. abcnews.go.com/Politics/dem...
