These are the stories that are going to start moving the needle. I'll offer that we must pitch them like Tim did here rather than "look at how evil they are". Show. Don't tell. They have to open their own eyes at some point. Lead a horse to water and whatnot...

Folks, I've come to a realization. The only social media network that brings me any kind of satisfaction anymore is Instagram. Any other is just doomscrolling for me. I don't need it in my life. I always take a break from SM for Lent, so I'm gonna stay on BlueSky and Threads until then.

GOP nominee for March 11 special election is an #ialegis clerk who just finished college. In a fundraising email, House Dem Leader @konfrst.bsky.social described him as a “bought and paid for GOP pawn” who “will do whatever they want, no questions asked.” www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/02/15/t...

Mark Grace and Shawon Dunston showed up to Cubs camp today, joining Fergie Jenkins, Rick Sutcliffe and Ryne Sandberg for a lively chat on the agility field. Surcliffe pulled Matt Shaw over to meet the group. And Craig Counsell stopped by to join the convo for a bit.

Keep it up, fam. We're down but not out...not yet anyway! www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

My hot take is that #Severence is #Lost for a new generation.

I don't know if Mark would do it, but here's your 2024 nominee.

UPDATE: Judge CHUTKAN has called a 4pm hearing on the lawsuit over Elon Musk's authority to run DOGE.

Every few years, an article gets written about the men's basketball program at @grinnellcollege.bsky.social. It's always worth your time to read. www.nytimes.com/athletic/611...

Thanks to the snow I was at home today and then my internet went out so I didn't even get to see all this chaos LIVE.

because, and here's the important part, Taylor Swift does not need her boyfriend to stand up and defend her every single time someone does something mean. So, if you are expecting Travis Kelce to stand up and say something just because he has a podcast? That's on you. Not him.

I love ICE cold drinks in the summer as well as immigrants. Just saying both those things in one post for no particular reason whatsoever.

AOC: The House is governed by a Republican majority. The Senate is governed by a Republican majority, and The White House has a Republican president. And if they want to pass their agenda, Republicans need to conjure up the votes to pass their own bills.

Life isn't this simple all the time, but all I'll add to this wonderful post is this. If we were all more like Ted Lasso and strived for curiosity rather than judgement, the world would be much better off.

go cubs, actually

my man, POLITICS are over politicized right now.

I cannot believe I am doing this, but actually, the Nazis persecuted Jewish scientists and rejected their discoveries as "Jüdische Physik" in contradistinction to proper "Deutsche Physik," and this did in fact hobble Nazi science. Even the history here is bunk! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsch...

Glad you're here, Pete.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue. TWENTY. As in, they call that getting slammed. So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind. TWENTY is a lot.

Just a reminder that it wasn’t a fair catch.
