I love so much about the way this guy's brain works, and even though this isn't exactly his usual type of video it's maybe the most strenuously I've ever agreed with him. Although as I post this I'm only about halfway through, so I'll let you know if it turns out there's a heel turn coming!

Biggest news of the spring here. Long overdue!

What I fear is going to happen is that Trump will be unpopular, we’ll get some sort of weird capital controlled stasis, and what we have lost in the past month plus will never get rebuilt. Just like a new normal of austerity and hollowed state capacity. It’s imperative to deliver a real defeat.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

I have been so excited since I found out this would be announced today! RIP any ability for me to concentrate: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...

weird, they get mad at you? usually when i tell jokes people laugh. skill issue i guess

Beans in chili are woke. What a great bit

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

Crazy for them to think this after MLB has spent 30 years telling them this is the case despite all evidence to the contrary. We’re never going to fix what Bud Selig broke, and it sucks.

Still blows my mind that we even have to say this

There's a trend on TikTok right now where park rangers specifically are posting videos about all of the things they did at their job and they pretty much all make me want to cry. It feels like the world is just falling apart more and more every day.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

P4A PASSED $3 MILLION!🥳

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

P4A PASSED $1 MILLION!!🥳

My grand unifying theorem of "what type of response you'll get if you ask a question on these websites"

Schedule your vaccinations now. Like now now. Don’t put it off

"As a knight," the king said, "it is your duty to kill dragons." "Very well, my liege," the knight said. "Um. May I ask why?" "Because they hoard wealth without sharing, and people live in fear of their capricious moods." "Very well, my liege," the knight said and drew his sword. #CrossRepost

@joeposnanski.bsky.social is there anything you can do to enable RSS for your new site?

have said it before and will say it again: Bluesky Chat/DMs are not E2EE. don't put anything sensitive in there you wouldn't want rando law enforcement to pore over. use it to exchange Signal contact info. consider "disappearing messages". do it by habit, get your friends+fam to also.

Just heard someone at work use the phrase "tummy butterflies" and immediately thought that should've been a candidate for the McElroys name of the year

Always a good day when Julia posts, there’s very few people out there that I’ve heard with her combination of technical skill and tastefulness on the bass. https://youtube.com/watch?v=wg5VXR5A03Y&si=UMGVhPwN6sxccgyl

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

I realize this is like the 800th most important takeaway here, but... what on earth is "equitableness"

the whole "ban on words" thing is awful and dystopian but I also cannot get over how stupid it is, I'm sorry you can't say "privilege escalation" in the fucking NSA because it would hurt Trump's feelings? are you serious? any self-respecting writer would reject this for being too ham-handed

I was looking forward to finding out how exactly the halftime show was satanic, but this is way funnier

Halftime show so good Bluesky traffic spiked by 45% for 10 minutes after the show ended.

they picked the correct halftime show for a game that's an obvious, brutal one-sided stomp

TurboTax ad might as well have been wearing a hot dog suit

Your annual reminder that Intuit/TurboTax have spent 20 years using their lobbying power to prevent the federal government from offering you free and functional electronic tax filing. DirectFile finally delivers that, but they haven't stopped trying to kill it. www.opensecrets.org/news/2024/02...
