"Love's the only thing that ever saved my life" -Sturgill Simpson

Apparently there was a brawl at the ATL airport today, and I didn't find out from @edsbs.bsky.social or @jasonkirk.fyi.

A huge missed opportunity to go with: "It wasn’t until much later when, at 35, I entered a nu phase in my life."

The bad news keeps piling up.

What a wonderful day for Canada and, therefore of course, the world.

Reskeet = endorsement

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

The pants are actually normal length, but he saw a particularly comely couch off to his right

This framing of Kash Patel's confirmation is appalling. He's going to ignore all of the heinous crimes committed against the republic by Republicans and use state force to persecute their enemies.

Stacy's mom's medicare is gone

So Trump officially has his Himmler. God help us.

These men are cowards. Enabling the man who's normalized political violence will only make it worse. If Tillis ever steps out of line, he will no doubt be the subject of Kash Patel's secret police if he votes to confirm him, which he will.

Come ON

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Did DOGE admit to murdering Jimmy Carter?

These are bad academics, using their positions and a willingness to misrepresent both the state of scholarly literature and the evidence to work toward a transparently evil end, and their university colleagues who rushed to defend them are also bad.

Why does the American media keep importing incompetent (or corrupt in the case of William Lewis) British journalists? There are countless competent Brits in journalism who'd do a much better job.

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

One of the major sticks Vladimir Putin used to bring the oligarchs to heel was using tax records and financial transactions to coerce and punish oligarchs. All of this information will no doubt be used by Trump and Musk against any opponents. Of course they'll fabricate things to justify arrests too

A Luka-Zion dynasty: Two Tons of Fun.

I've never had worse fries at a fast food place than In-N-Out.

I've never seen a man so committed to being wrong about everything as Shadi Hamid. Incredible scam to get paid for it though. Respect.

Shadi, you’re wrong all the time, literally constantly fucking up on matters of basic common sense, but you refuse to shut up and learn from your persistent mistakes, ever. Now you want people who are right to shut up because that’s unproductive? Go walk into the sea.

Hopefully @donoteat.bsky.social or @liamfromwtyp.bsky.social know who this guy is. Meeting your true love on a trash truck while celebrating your team's title is something I could only dream of.

Is there another player who loves falling over more than James Maddison?

Democrats need to tell the stories of thes victims of Trump's and Musk's purge. If some are willing to be in front of cameras, hold a press conference where they can tell the American people how Trump upended their work for this country and their lives. They're real people not abstract "bureaucrats"

Instead of the WHCA following around Trump and kowtowing to his demands to call it the "Gulf of America", they should be reporting on all the the lives Trump and Musk are destroying across America.

What's galling is that America didn't fall into dictatorship suddenly without warning. After January 6th, numerous people had the chance to stop the man who tried to overthrow the Constitution. McConnell & Senate Republicans failed. Senate Democrats failed so they could go home for Valentine's Day
