Hi, everyone!
I look forward to connecting, and reconnecting, with people here.
A place where fans of the rule of law, democracy, pets, sports, food, children, music, and many other wholesome things can engage in good faith? Yes, please.

Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.
WELKER: Mr. Secretary, are you running Venezuela right now?
MARCO RUBIO: Yeah. People are fixating on that. Here's the bottom line -- we expect to see changes in Venezuela

BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power?

What really upsets me about this tonight is that this admin couldn’t find the money to extend health care subsidies for the American people —
but somehow can find the money to now run another country?

Upon further reflection, CBS Evening News' decision to shift away from interviewing experts and towards highlighting what regular people are saying is smart because the experts would just be screaming profanities tonight.

Circling back here—Seattle didn’t play a single snap in base. All nickel/dime vs SF’s 21 personnel, and they held CMC to under 3 yds a pop.
Just a perfectly built defense for modern football.

Kyle Shanahan vs Mike Macdonald is a fantastic schematic chess match—loved nerding out about it with @jourdanrodrigue.bsky.social

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something."
They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable.
These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

Here’s a dirty little secret of 2025 that’s not as depressing as it seems:
Losing faith in institutions wasn’t nihilism. It was discernment - an informed adult response to watching dudebro arsonists assume control of the fire department.

Remember a few years back when Will Ferrell was going to star as Ronald Reagan in a movie set during his 2nd term when he was cognitively failing?
And a bunch of ppl lost their shit and said YOU CAN'T MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THAT!
Might have been a good cautionary tale.
