May he be replaced by someone both awake and with an aversion to AIPAC, the ADL, and dreams of "patching things up" with silicone valley oligarchs.

"Acts we once took for granted as virtuous, routine, and safe — telling the truth, representing those oppressed by the state, providing legal aid to the powerless, volunteering to work at a polling site, basic journalism — now carry some risk. They now require some courage."

This is what happens when someone regularly accused of covering up sex trafficking and child abuse gets to be in charge of the education system.

The reason billionaires like McMahon are obsessed with student debt is that creating financial precarity makes people more stressed about losing their job. If you’re worried about your job you’re less likely to quit and find work elsewhere. You’re less likely to ask for a raise. It’s pure class war.

Best American film of my lifetime (I was born after The Godfather) is Chinatown. Been reading about it, rewatching it. So many hidden corners of genius, I needed a repeat viewing after reading about them just to catch them all. More cruelly predictive than Taxi Driver or another Dunaway, Network.

It’s comforting to know what whatever chaos in roiling the globe, Pete Hegseth is somewhere drunk.

Damn I forgot how fun and how singular a Kawhi game can be.

It's so wild to believe that just nine months ago, this was the woman who nearly killed congestion pricing with an illegal executive fiat, and now she's grandstanding about defending it from Trump trying to kill congestion pricing with an illegal executive fiat.

The utter absurdity that the antisemitic right wing is leading a fight against antisemitism can only be understood by explaining the end-times romance between Zionism (Jewish variety) and Zionism (xtra Christian). Wish they’d all just leave us the hell alone.

JD Vance this month broke Ohio State’s trophy, made all of Greenland want to beat his ass, and killed the Pope. Frank Grimes is the VP.

Mad respect to Jorge last bar being losers ain’t nothing but heaux and tricks.

That Tari Eason block will be replayed for a good stretch of time.

Amennnnnnnnnnnnnn

Sorry for all the Curry-love but it’s wild that people will fight to the floor over who is the hoops GOAT but best shooter ever is just “Oh. It’s Steph.”

We take Curry’s driving layups high off the glass for granted. Those are incredible. Any other player it’s a top ten highlight of their year and he does them regularly.

If only the Warriors had a young, very athletic forward who could contest for some of these rebounds. But I guess when you have a Quentin Post, you just have to play Quentin Post.

Our fashionista Tony Snell.

Yes! I believe he is objectively and irredeemably stupid! They could do something or not do something but Hegseth will always be a dumbass.

Just….the stupidest people.

I admire @edgeofsports.bsky.social's ability to channel his anger about a part of our community that supports the undemocratic, anti-Jewish administration. It's worth a read today, the last day of Passover. 🔥 www.thenation.com/article/poli...

We are living in a golden age of hoops announcers and a dry gulch of color commentators. Not a Steve “Snapper” Jones or a Bill Walton among them. (I like some of the local guys for the unintended homerism comedy. Drew Gooden deserves a raise.)

Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?

I’ve been struggling to figure out who Coach David Adelman looks like. I think it’s the bald impractical joker with more strands of hair.

“Differing pictures.” Like one is brazenly fake.

just another day in the exoneration/no angels pits

This is a White House of arrogant sadists and apocalyptic dullards. No matter how often they lie about this man, it doesn’t cover up the fact that the real violent criminals are now running this country.

Wrote something about Steve Kerr's willingness to break through a grey cloud of political silence in the NBA and the catalytic effect it could have on the league and beyond. Thanks to @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

If Sen Murkowski is "afraid" of the base of her own party, then maybe she should leave that party? Frankly, wtf is the excuse for not leaving????
