I am heartbroken that it is the case, but the 80% is not far off at all.

Probably about 40% of the men in my COUNSELING PSYCHOLOGY graduate program would let these words slip. And maybe 20% of the women. Not a stretch to imagine that rate’s about double in the general population.

The lead prosecutor on the Adams investigation - Hagan Scotten - resigns from SDNY.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion [to dismiss Adams charges]. But it was never going to me.”

On April 16, 1968, Angel Hermoso and Ralph Garr came to bat in the first inning for the Shreveport Braves, ending one of Baseball's most enduring Color Barriers. Though the Braves were a brand new team, segregated minor league baseball in Shreveport dated all the way back to 1895. #BlackHistoryMonth

maybe he could try not having his team be down 41-17 after the first quarter. At home.

PSA: Check your voter registrations. I was deregistered from my affiliated party and marked as unaffiliated.

This is the first time it has happened to me in North Carolina; it happened once before in New Jersey in 2012.

Phone call to elections office sorted things out.

No one has a holy mission to humiliate Stancil.

Being the most public voice of “actually the economy is good and you’re wrong, look at my chart” is humiliating enough. Now that the numbers he relied upon are shown to be misleading, he’s lashing out. Not once could he imagine admitting he was wrong.
They lack the epistemological insight to realize that the source of each of these false claims is the other false claim, and the result has been that I've had to waste two years of my life fighting with these hyper-aggressive meatheads with a holy mission to just humiliate me personally. It sucks!

Can We Predict the Private Voters for the 2025 Hall of Fame Election?
Predicting the Hall’s stingiest voters can be tricky, but maybe there’s a way to predict when they’ll coalesce around a candidate.

I'm here at the Blinken press briefing, and Max Blumenthal just disrupted with questions about Blinken's role in the genocide. Will post video shortly.

(He will probably also post video, he was filming as well.)

He ended with, "You too, Matt, you smirked through a genocide."

You can be driven into homelessness by someone like Brian Thompson, then legally murdered by someone like Daniel Penny, while the money that could have saved you is spent on
murdering children in Gaza.

This is called the rule of law.
