Thank you Al Green for at least having some balls. Good for you

I only regret, that I had but one Washington Post subscription to cancel for my country.

At best Trump is going to treat any Dems present as stage props whom he can insult; at worst he's going to call them enemies of the people whose opposition to his approach is or ought to be illegal. Being called a traitor on national TV isn't going to make you look determined or dignified.

Sean McVay says, “been sleeping better these last couple days” after agreeing to terms with Matthew Stafford, in comments with local reporters this morning.

Just pulling the evidence up that Jeffries ain't got it

Kinda tacky to have to plug in your trophy, hope it's battery powered

Stoked to see Les Snead ranked so high. Dude went all in with Fuck Them Picks and won in 2021. And still they were able to reload the offense AND defense with no first day picks. He's always been smart about finding guys good at things that fit in with what the Rams do as opposed to combine studs

Darious Williams intercepts Brock Purdy with 5:14 to play, the Rams up 9-6. Ahkello Witherspoon had a significant PBU earlier in the series as well.

If the only good thing that comes of this election is the EC is abolished then color me absolutely and completely stunned (this is a ringing endorsement of EC abolition)

We're going to be so worse off in 4 years, it's going to be unimaginable Then we'll vote in a Dem to fix it, he'll (bc no woman will be nominated for a long time) take the blame for it not being turned around overnight and we'll probably elect Jr. or some other dumbass to fuck it up some more

Was that just a sloppy game or were the refs on one?

Now that's a way to finish LA!

KINCHENS!!!

Once again: DST doesn’t solve the problem of going to/from work in the dark. Instead, when days get shorter in the fall, we should just shorten the workday by an hour. Then in spring, when we start getting more daylight again, we can shorten the workday by another hour.

Yeah, do not get cocky, do not get complacent. Act like we’re down 5 and desperate to make up for lost ground.

"kamala harris will protect your right to disagree with her" is something i haven't really heard from another surrogate and i find it genuinely compelling?

My students always ask me what they can do as individuals for climate, and here’s what I tell them: 1. Vote for candidates that will do something about climate change 2. Ride a bike 3. Stop eating meat (or at least beef and dairy) 4. Fly less

1. Harris wins, it's not a blowout exactly but it's far enough away from a squeaker 2. This undercurrent of deep fascistic ideas smolders for a very long time in the GOP unless the Dems make some real pushes to radically improve people's everyday lives

in a matter of days we’re having an election where one of the candidates attempted a coup lol. i can’t get over how preposterous it is. failed state.

This truly is remarkable: “Scientists have concluded that widespread physical distancing and masking practiced during the early days of COVID-19 appear to have pushed B/Yamagata into oblivion… the first documented instance of a virus going extinct due to changes in human behavior”

When a supporter asked Trump a prescreened question about addressing inflation, he offered a lengthy answer. Since voters are so concerned about policy positions, I simply printed it in full. Hope it’s illuminating. Gift link: wapo.st/4eK0Zym

Make a movie better by adding lmao "God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Lmao."

Every single one of these losers talks a big game about how important it is to convey strength to foreign leaders and how Biden (or whoever) is unacceptably weak on this front, yet they won’t acknowledge this simple truth because they’re afraid of running afoul of Trump and the mob he’s whipped up.

I know it's pure pandering but the "no tax on tips" plan should not be adopted into any D platform. Forget the terrible backdoor implications of it, on its face it's saying two people earning the exact same salary should be taxed wildly different if one of them earns it through tips. Makes no sense

I swear Tim Walz is so good at this.

genuinely curious to know what mark robinson has said or done that is worse than what we already know. the dude fucking sucks!

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,676,731!

This is very cool. I'm a big fan of: Football Jiu jitsu Metal gear solid Cormac McCarthy Weight lifting The Revolutionary War Astronomy Trying to get quantum mechanics The Roman Empire The American Southwest Good movies

This is the shit we need said

Anyone know any #unionmade American Flag companies? I feel compelled to put one back up

Dog parks!?

Walz is proof that the pundits who demand that Dems “appeal to rural voters” don’t mean “explain progressive policy in a way that connects with rural voters” they mean “be conservative in a way that I, the pundit, personally agree with” fuck ‘em

Damn, I'm really bummed the Dems didn't take the Republicans sage advice on selecting the bottom of the ticket. Such a shame all that good insight was left on the table

I had to prove I owned livestock every time I needed to buy dewormer for my goats because the party that's currently big mad about being called weird little creeps decided to inject themselves with everything but the COVID vaccine.

If I had to guess why the "weird" discourse has taken hold so well is in its simplicity. The left has battled every culture war fire with reason™ & logic™ (at least tried to, sometimes) but no one wants to hear that. Calling the other side "weird" is concise, easily identifiable & most of all true!
