UPDATE: I was able to reach @robertearlkeen1.bsky.social's folks. And thankfully, Robert granted us permission to use the song in question.

It will be featured in tomorrow's episode — which is one of the most important shows we've done. Hope you can watch/listen.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...
Speaking to WaPo employees, editor Matt Murray says cuts are about “positioning ourselves to become more essential to people's lives, and what is becoming a more crowded, competitive and complicated media landscape, and after some years when, candidly, the Post has had struggles to do that."

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

I stayed up for this?

We look tired (and after Saturday, we should I guess). Refs rolling with prison rules not helping either.

The extent to which all of this is about one guy's psychological inability to admit he lost a contest will never stop breaking my brain. Perhaps a good lesson is that it's important to teach your kids how to lose—maybe even giving awards just for playing to show that not losing isn't everything.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

What white people did to the word “woke” is honestly insane. To assert that it is trendy to have human empathy and for there to be consequences for bad behavior and actions is honestly crazy

This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.

the reason I'm so heated right now is Ilhan Omar has been thrown to the wolves so many times by the Democratic establishment for saying the things the Dems are finally, YEARS LATER starting to say.

They've let Rep Omar take a lot of heat and have not used their voices enough to defend her

She moved TOWARD him. Went right at him.

She’s braver and stronger than every single MFer in power right now. Every single MFer playing dress-up in an ICE costume. Every single MFer who would call her less than or inferior.

We are in the biggest Throw The Bums Out moment I can remember in my lifetime, and that means ALL of the bums
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.
