The wild thing is the point totals for seeds 5 6 7 8 go 5 3 6 4.
I understand why, but number 1 and 2 seeds Canada and US will likely play Czechia and Sweden, respectively, while number 3 seed Slovakia will probably get Germany...

Biden was the most economically progressive president since LBJ at least, he pursued a full-employment economy at huge political risk, it worked spectacularly.

And what happened is that the entire progressive universe decided that he must not have done any of it, or else he would have been popular
Are the progressive economic policies in the room with us right now?

In addition to Botstein giving a tour of Bard to two very young women in Epstein's entourage, Botstein's relationship with Epstein seems to have been instrumental in Epstein's recruitment of one of his victims. bsky.app/profile/moir...
A young violinist was nervous about meeting with Jeffrey Epstein due to his 2008 child sex abuse conviction. Epstein reassured her by noting his friendship with @bardcollege.bsky.social’s Leon Botstein, and set up a dinner between Botstein and the musician. She soon became one of Epstein’s victims.

It's also worth remembering that this narrative is Nazi in a way that actually pre-dates the Holocaust.

Hitler rose to power telling a story of a Germany shackled by guilt and shame (and of course the material concessions fallout) from WWI
This message from the US State Department about "not wanting allies to be shackled by guilt and shame" is a pretty direct call-out to the German far-right argument that Germany has spent too long feeling guilty about the Holocaust, and needs to move on and stop doing remembrance.

I expected Tom Wilson to embarrass Canada and he didn’t disappoint. Pathetic.
This is such a punk ass move by Tom Wilson, who got buried by Crinon before they were pulled apart by the refs, and then jumps Crinon for the second time WHILE CRINON HAS TWO REFS RESTRAINING HIM

That's some serious bullshit Wilson should be ashamed of
TOM WILSON GETS IN A FIGHT WITH PIERRE CRINON WHO HIT MACKINNON UP HIGH EARLIER IN THE PERIOD 😱🫨

No matter how racist you try to be Marco, they’ll never accept you as white.
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

Well, this headline and framing rather buries the lede. It's not that two Latvians in the stands held up the flag of Greenland at a US vs Denmark match, in an arena full of US flags. It's that security told them to quit it for "safety reasons, because there could be American aggressive people."
Fans who raised Greenland's flag at US-Denmark Olympic hockey game say it was a pro-European gesture
Two fans who raised a flag of Greenland as the United States played Denmark in men’s hockey at the Winter Olympics say they did so as a gesture of European support for the island and for Denmark.

Abbott is a malicious freak and psycho whose administration is getting kids killed. Making mid-2000s-era South Park jokes only gives him the moral high ground and makes it look like you have nothing substantive to mock him for.

“what cool shit can I do as Mayor? oh, I can marry people? awesome, let’s do it”

once again the constant theme of “New York is great, New Yorkers are great, isn’t this great?” comes through
Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies. 
 
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

One big problem with America is that I think the second message does matter more to a significant percentage of people.

I think long term it matters more to focus on the former but I get why politicians hit the latter.
hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:

- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9
Romance alert: Trump's reckless tariffs have Valentine’s Day costs up across the board:

Roses 🌹16.6%
Chocolates🍫 18.7%
Ribeye 🥩 25.4%
Restaurant meals 🍽️ 4.9%

Nice tribute to Chris Paul. Also glad he mentioned that in addition to his brilliance and commitment, in his youth he was an unreal athlete. I remember watching him at Wake and no one could stay in front of him. AI level unstoppable.

Can someone help me here—are there renegade GOP members who prevent them from exercising their power? Or is it Dems using the filibuster?
Note the framing here:

It’s “Democrats have refused to fund” DHS and not “Republicans refused to prohibit face masks” or “the two parties could not agree on how to reform the agency.”

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

So other than the fact that he’s American, how am I supposed to feel about Malinin shitting the bed there? It was painful to watch but is he a MAGA shithead or something so I don’t feel bad for him?

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

it’s kind of funny how in the past, there was a characterization of swing voters as intelligent, thoughtful people who carefully weighed the merits of each candidate and made a rational decision based on facts/evidence

and now we correctly have identified that, no, they’re barely sentient morons
American politics is a seesaw driven by the biggest dipshits you’ve ever met

I didn’t used to believe this but the past decade has convinced me. There is no distance the Democrats can move to the centre that will not result in GOP moving further right. “Obamacare” was Romney’s model! Carbon taxes were the conservative answer to climate change.
it's backwards. obama and biden conceded the republican framework of border obsession, sliding right and setting off a near-inevitable push to where we are today. once again the democrats triangulated themselves into becoming republicans, allowing republicans to publicly embrace explicit fascism.
