Imagine being so racist that you’d rather go to work when it’s beautiful outside than have a holiday celebrating an ethnicity besides your own

Ok so thanks to @baumann.bsky.social I'm now a White Sox fan for the week. Tell me @jrfegan.soxmachine.com and @nickbpss.bsky.social who are some studly Sox players I can get irrationally attached to? And can I interest White Sox nation in trading for Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh?

The miasma theory is not "outdated," it's fucking nonsense. It thought people got chlamydia from rotten air. The "germ theory" isn't "widely accepted," it's proven scientific fact, and it's the only thing that allowed humanity to advance and cure diseases. Otherwise, great headline.

The most incredible part of the grift is coming to power when there is no chaos by campaigning on a platform of "I'm going to end the chaos," then overseeing an era of chaos he created and saying "See? We're ending the chaos."

Sat across an empty subway car in NYC with Michael C. Hall a long time ago. We did the head nod when I walked on then proceeded to say nothing for a few stops until he got off the train.

Yeah like to be perfectly clear what happened an unelected cabinet member was giving a press conference and her fucking Capitol Hill boss showed up and he was thrown on the ground and handcuffed

There are two ways to look at the situation. One is the actual situation, the other is the made-up rankings of a lunatic. Let’s examine both of them and give equal time to both of them and put both of them into the newspaper because they are both “things that have been said out loud.”

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

This is how white supremacist narratives work. This claim has been litigated repeatedly and proven to be NOT TRUE. But they “feel it.” You can’t disprove it. The Lost Cause. Reverse Discrimination. Welfare Queens. The whole thing survives on myths. www.yahoo.com/news/vice-pr...

The most antisemitic thing going is the White House's use of the term "antisemitic" to describe anyone who dares question their bullshit. They use it so much, for so many things that have literally nothing to do with Jewish people, that it's lost all meaning.

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

It's not that Biden's decline while in office, and the effort to hide it, isn't a story. It's just that the guy currently in office is also in serious decline, dangerously so, and was even before he was elected, and there oddly doesn't seem to be the same fervor to cover that story.

if my team won the Super Bowl because we were so good at running the most basic play possible that they had to ban it, I would not stop talking about it until the day I died. Congratulations to Eagles fans everywhere, your team defeated football

Runners and swimmers will always talk about hitting their personal best even if they don’t finish first in a race. Infuriating for journalists trying to cover a race, but truly a mindset everybody should have. (Especially weirdo politicians trying to bully kids instead of improving people’s lives!)

Can't wait until Trump sticks his new $400 million luxury plane in a harbor where it will become a National Park and serve as a beacon of hope for millions of immigrants who come to this country seeking a better life, which is I guess the plan, Ann, you disingenuous twit?

C3PO is so annoying someone tells him to shut up every 8 minutes across like 26 hours of cinema and R2D2 moves 1/3 of a MPH and 10 minutes after you meet him he is immobilized by a 2-foot tall child wielding a 5-volt taser

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the appearance of corruption promotes corruption.

What makes this especially galling from Lipton is every journalist knows we can’t accept gifts even if it doesn’t impact our coverage because of how shady it looks. Why are journalists held to higher ethical standards than the President of the United States?

Corruption does not, in fact, require an explicit quid pro quo. As a matter of law, certain gifts are illegal whether anything is delivered in return for them or not. Beyond the law, gifts can create an untoward relationship with a recipient that pays off later in diffuse ways.

the funniest thing about this stupid understanding of corruption is that it is also the definition demanded by the supreme court over the repeated objection of state and federal legislatures and the common sense of lower court judges

It isn’t corruption unless the giant fatcat has a top hat, a walrus mustache, and a sash reading “BOSS” and the tiny little politician is sitting in his lap
