“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English”

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

My takeaway from this rant is even Trump didn’t watch that Kid Rock thing.

My goal as a parent was always to raise better men than me

I just received a video from one son of my other son juggling dildos outside the Whipple Building

There are many things I could have done better but I can't really argue with the results

I am in Milan. It’s work. I help with safety planning for big events.
My take from in the room. VP Vance was heckled by the crowd when he appeared on screen. But I want to point out that the same crowd was loud and supportive when Team USA came out. It was lovely to hear. And quite a juxtaposition.

There's a tendency online for people to black out the names and email addresses of people who send them notes like this but I'm all for making it public.
kind of amazing to think that there are people who wake up in the morning, get mad at a fox news post and then send this stuff

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

It’s precisely BECAUSE we cannot know what’s in another person’s heart that we cannot use that as the standard to judge their behavior.

Intent truly only matters if it’s the difference between “I didn’t mean to offend AND AM FIXING IT NOW because I did” and “I am indifferent at best to my offense.”
I think one thing white people tie ourselves in knots over about racism is what someone “feels in their heart” or whatever. And that just … doesn’t really matter? It’s the behavior that matters.

“.. Our BTC price target is 0.0. That’s not just for shock factor. It’s where the math takes us,” the strategist said, noting that Bitcoin has failed to function as a dollar hedge and instead operates as “a speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq.”

This is stupid in that it pisses away Dems only leverage. A shutdown that affects TSA/FEMA. Only defunding ICE allows them to just draw down OBBB money and continue doing what they're doing.
Sen. Slotkin raises idea of funding everything at DHS but ICE

“I would certainly be interested in separating ICE out from the rest. It’s a version of what we did last week, we isolated DHS ... Isolate ICE”

Whatever's in the whistleblower complaint Tulsi Gabbard's trying to bury, we know she's neck deep in efforts to help Trump gain control of ballots. Homing in on stuff like that might not poll as well as healthcare—but therein lies the problem with the Dem approach. www.offmessage.net/p/the-goal-m...

Let's speak plainly.

In a legitimate criminal cases, political appointees don't have to first hollow out U.S. Attorney offices of objecting career prosecutors with integrity; federal judges don't kill the cases at the cradle, and the government doesn't fight tooth and nail to revive them.
