This is the tragedy of our age.

watched some reacher on the treadmill today and i do love that we have a whole franchise whose central premise is “what if a man were really big”

"But James Carville said ..."

I'd lay money this is Rivian.

genuine question, has anyone ever spent more money on something this dogshit before

Same energy as: "Back in '82 I used to be able to throw a pig skin a quarter mile."

It really is that simple

It’s crucial in this utterly lawless and corrupt administration that we recognize the people who acted with integrity and remember, forever, those who did not.

Emil Bove is Stringer Bell

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”

It is indeed fitting that the crypto administration is going after the CFPB. Make Ponzi Schemes Great Again!

I'm shocked Texas didn't get in on this action.

Good thing Elon's core business has pivoted to deconstructing democratic government.

Responsibility Don't fall for the lies. Regulations and rules usually exist for a reason. The only purpose for getting rid of them is so that CEOs and shareholders make more money and it's certainly not anyone's FAULT other than the people at the top making cuts.

Oof. Tell me you're a racist/sexist without calling yourself the same.

Please repost to join this apt apology to our neighbors.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

enough is enough. democratic leadership in congress needs to act now and text me saying they need five to ten dollars

Not the best word to use when talking about an unconstitutional funding freeze, but I'm not going to kink shame.

We have now reached the Caligula's horse stage. #RFKJr

@ocasio-cortez.house.gov

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

canceling the commissary — and i would assume, exchange — program is a one way ticket to getting a bonus army situation. for those unaware, the commissaries and exchanges are subsidized grocery and department stores for service members, veterans and their families.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

Talk about pulling up the ladder. www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

This was a point I made in our live chat earlier.

If you defend this you're owned. He's making you degrade yourself for less than nothing.

NEW: With a stroke of his pen, Donald Trump laid waste to the four-year effort to punish the peopel who stormed the Capitol in his name on Jan. 6, 2021. Among the 1,500 pardoned: People convicted of brutal assaults on police and seditious conspiracy. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

People calling this a "Roman salute" are clowns. That's like saying hey, why are you giving me grief over these swastikas? I'm not a Nazi. I'm just super into Vedic north Indian culture. Gimme a break.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

Strava, no amount of medals will get me to pay for you. A+ effort though.

They needed to ratchet up the tension a little. I guess attention spans are short enough now less than a weekend is sufficient.

I've got a habit of PRing both the half marathon and marathon distance at Chevron Houston Marathon and kept it up for the third year in a row!

It was just as cold for Obama's inauguration in 2009, fyi.

uh-oh

Chevron Houston Marathon tomorrow! LFG!

January 2025 as a meme

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

How do we go from the Saturn V, nearly fifty years ago, to subsidizing an asshole to blow up rockets?

I love how shooting sports can be a virtuous circle. You make a change to your equipment and get a better sight picture -- this calms your nerves and you execute your shot more confidently... which let's you maximize the benefit of your equipment tweak.

I too win all the arguments I have in my head. Too bad Merrick Garland kept this hypothetical.
