Being a cop has never sucked more and never mattered more. Most of the job is dealing with problems they can't solve or fix and shouldn’t have to. The last 1% is @#$! terrifying. That makes coppers hang together, and that causes trouble because they can’t belong to one another—but they inevitably do

This is one of the most shocking interviews with @ichotiner.bsky.social I have read in a while. How can Biden's head of communications be so bad at... communicating? Forming a clear and coherent argument?
Fun drinking game, but for every time you visibly cringe reading this @newyorker.com piece.

Humans have walked the earth for 300,000 years and we get to live in the one where Shohei hits three home runs and gives up just two hits on 10Ks in 6 shutout innings. In the playoffs.
Is this the greatest game ever played? Did we just watch that?

The UN Security Council is broken. Countries in it are not aligned while countries that should be (India, Japan, Germany) are not allowed in.
What's not broken? The UN is a reminder of the things the US used to stand up for after WWII, things that we aren't so sure we are standing up for anymore.

Great sentiment.
Here’s the thing—they could be so much more.
When marketers think about building a great brand or product, they start with a statement of what that *thing* is trying to do. It's a singular idea that shapes culture, tone, and every decision that follows.

This was a bitterly disappointing Twins season, but it’s still sad to say goodbye to the ballpark for another year. In my personal paradise it’s always baseball season.
See you next spring, Target Field ⚾️✌️

Look I want to be honest -- but also careful, because I know everyone’s got a take on this, and the last thing I’m trying to do is offend anyone, seem overly emotional, or act like my view is the only one that matters. Basically, I’ve gone deep & really tried to look at this from all angles...

We completed a lap, and it's time for that time-honored annual reminder that we can all love and celebrate our country even if we disagree with the mendacious @#$! that run it. Patriotism is always distinct from nationalism.

A positive note for those who care about the war in Ukraine.
Russia's national foreign wealth fund has been depleted by roughly 75%. Inflation is at 9.9%, federal interest rates are at 20% and real wages are increasing by 19% to keep up.
Not an economics expert, but that's bad, comrade.

I love Dennis, but $15M a year is insane from a Kings franchise that often makes the Pels look like braniacs. Instantly becomes a nearly untradable contract.
• Pick up Keon’s option instead of figuring out long term extension ❌
• Lose LaRavia to the Lakers ❌
• Focus all FA energy on Dennis Schroder and Russell Westbook ❌
• Maybe going to send out Monk as part of Schroder/Westbrook acquisition ❌
• Trade Jonas for Saric ❌
