I am again reminding sports media companies that I will pay them 💵💵💵to give me the video stream from your broadcast and the choice of audio stream. Fans want THEIR favorite broadcasters instead of the national feed. This is triply true for college football.

MAGA Christianity:
1. Calling Zohran Mamdani a "terrorist" bc he's Muslim.
2. Cheer when Trump buries his face in the laps of actual Muslim terrorists.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.

If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

Hypothesis: it’s not just the Epstein files keeping the House adjourned. There are quite a few risks: Epstein Files, budget/shutdown, Impeachment, simple majority to remove the Speaker.

Am I close on this?

Anyone else have an iOS bug with @bsky.app and video playback? If I focus a video, I can’t go back to its post or my timeline without quitting and restarting.

At this point, every single journalist needs to have a simple one-sheet of the major news events that Mike Johnson and his toadies claim to have not seen, or know nothing about.

Like, hand it to them. "Okay, here. Take your time. I can wait." Call their bluff, ffs. This is absurd.

This is quite a story: the US employed every strongarm tactic available, including personal threats against delegates and their families, to derail an agreement on reducing shipping emissions that was almost finalized. on.ft.com/47lq3dZ

We should be able to vote on the postseason broadcast teams, just like All-Stars and umpires.

I gave up on Game 3 in the middle of the 15th. Fell asleep and dreamed that they decided to finish by drawing cards, Cards Against Humanity-style.

LA sends out Ohtani. Blue Jays make a call to the crowd and Michelle Yeoh comes ikon to the field in a cream, beaded gown.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

If your company is a heavy Python user and has surplus budget to assign before EOY, now’s a great time for an unrestricted donation…

Unlike Trump, I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care.

I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.
