I just watched Eddie Rosario challenge a strike call right down the middle in the 4th inning lmao He was called out when strike 3 was confirmed and now the Dodgers have lost a challenge. Gonna be hilarious to see which players hog the challenges and how managers handle that.

This onion cuts deep for those who insist that a jobs guarantee must accompany basic income. It exposes the contradiction of offering security while still demanding justification for one’s right to it.

this kind of shit made sense back when musk was still widely admired and seen as non-political but the most recent polling shows he's hilariously unpopular, like 10-15 points lower than Trump's own low approval ratings. People hate this motherfucker! You don't need to clear your throat first

This is the right message. What we're witnessing is a socioeconomic sickness. Megalomania brought on by severe concentration of wealth. It will destroy everything if it's not addressed

This guy would’ve found a way to rationalize the layoffs as being necessary and good if he hadn’t been personally let go. This kind of person is incapable of having any empathy or understanding until it affects them.

Congressional Democrats approval at 21%, Trump at 45%, and DEI policies at 53% sure doesn’t fit the theory that the culture writ large has shifted, most Americans are right-wing culture warriors now, and appealing to that is what Democrats need to do to get support.

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

I went slumming on X for a bit. There’s group with accounting expertise that are investigating DOGE’s fraud claims. Misrepresentation of ‘fraud’ findings. More than once the statement was made that DOGE,rather than finding fraud,is committing it.

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. I hope it reaches some people who aren't already on our side. Gift link: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

Lots of talk about investing in “infrastructure” these days. Good infrastructure is good! But lots of progressive institutions engage in deliberate tent-shrinking or promote misinformation about public opinion. That’s bad! www.slowboring.com/p/democrats-...

Like its antithesis on the left, the “woke right” places identity grievance, ethnic consciousness, and tribal striving at the center of its behavior and thought. It eschews principle for expediency and brute force, seeking not to convince but to punish its perceived enemies 1/
