I don’t hate the 4th down target to AJ in a vacuum. I hate that it was a deep ball. Slant to AJ Brown is virtually unguardable yet it feels like it’s called once every five games.

What exactly were Patullo and Sirianni doing during the bye week?
3rd-and-12 run in a scoreless game when you have AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith and are already in FG range is flat-out garbanzo beans.

One appeaser, Sen. Angus King, explained his decision with, “Standing up to Donald Trump didn’t work.”
Well sure, when you prematurely fold rather than see a fight through, you fail. And why should Trump opponents vote for anyone who thinks standing up to Trump isn’t worth doing?

Democrats Have to Get Out of a Normal Democracy Mindset
By folding in the government shutdown in exchange for virtually nothing, eight Democratic senators aid Trump's authoritarian takeover rather than oppose it

Finding out that it's just Twitter minus the people who are fine with Musk inciting civil war and spreading racist lies would be disappointing, and force them to re-evaluate what is an essentially commercial decision to stay there.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Blueskyism is actually a fantasy of Bluesky, formed by ignorance and reactionary hope (that this place is full of stereotypes that justify them hanging out with the less objectionable Nazis).

My deeply biased, incredibly unpopular opinion about the objectively terrible prequels is that the <only> redeeming quality was getting "everything is political economy" right about international (interstellar) relations.
It’s also funny because the prequels are actually about trade deficits? Like there’s obviously the top line plot but the secondary plot is about trade

Yeah this is it. Today in “neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party.”
I scribbled down all my shutdown-related intrusive thoughts and put them in a blog post.
