Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

Modern American conservatives believe in very little, but one of their ironclad core beliefs is that everyone else is as viscerally disgusted as they are whenever a woman — especially a woman of color — is even vaguely enjoying herself in public. Fashion is a sin to them.

I am genuinely not kidding when I say I will go ALL IN on a candidate who vows to massively increase the size of the federal government just to enforce laws that are already on the books against the rich.
Start a jobs program to put a federal monitor in every car dealership and fast food franchisee, and you'd have literally millions of Americans with more money in their wallets within weeks.

For those of you who have Apple+ and love seeing middle-aged guys wearily putting their boots on because they gotta go outside and do another goddamn thing, TLF is a masterwork.

Did ESPN just add the penalty flag directional indicators, or have I been missing them?

This was such a huge story that I genuinely thought it happened in Reno because that's where I lived at the time. I didn't realize it was somewhere else until like the 2010s.
And actually--Comet Pizza was a page out of a playbook that started with daycare decades before.
In 1983, a California mom accused her son's childcare provider of subjecting children to Satanic rituals--like flushing them down toilets into secret basements where they were then filmed for porn. 1/🧵

Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.

On the plus side, we have a new centrism red flag. Anyone who wants to “Actually, there might be fraud…” gets right in the bin.

Pretty good puzzle box story that leans a little too hard on hand-waving and doesn’t let its characters ask enough questions. But fun, and ably done. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
