Connecticut transplant. Referee To The Stars. Former games journalist. Somehow has a 2-1 record in elections. Virginian pizza is a war crime.
I question the “we can do better” part. It’s demonstrably false at this point.
The fate of the free world rests on someone who requires weekly MRI tests to monitor his advancing dementia.

We can do better.

Jewish colleagues I speak with regularly cite Jonathan Greenblatt as one of the most serious threats they face. They're convinced that he is committed to silencing or destroying any Jew who openly criticizes or challenges Benjamin Netanyahu and his war making. And they're correct.

All I gotta say is that ol’ Futon Fucker must be packing a damned firehose.

It’s almost like taking a blowtorch to the entire federal workforce doesn’t go over well in Virginia.
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Burn in hell, you motherfucker. Say hi to Rummy for us while you’re down there. And may the thousands of dead Iraqis hit you with their sandals forever.

My bigger fear:

Both Republicans and establishment Democrats now see that they’re cut.

Now the knives are really gonna come out.
really important element of this basically total victory is that it puts the fear of god in republican incumbents and may bring the redistricting push to a total halt

Trump is sending a very clear message: kill or attempt to kill his enemies and you will never see repercussions.
Breaking on MSNBC:

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

I will say “will thos’t debateth me!?”, the usual cry from the incel crowd, sounds really weird coming from Aryan Barbie.

We’re going to get our revenge eventually.
A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

Yankee fans still won’t shut the fuck up about Reggie’s three homers before I was born, and Reggie didn’t throw ten strikeouts while touching 100MPH.

Oh my God. The Mariners are one win away from the Series.

I’m forty five. Been a fan since 1990. It’s been so lonely on the east coast.

I’m just… I don’t know what to do.

When I was in the Navy, I was ordered to turn fire hoses on Greenpeace protestors while in the Med. This was after the Cole bombing, so some concern was justified.

But I shudder at how fun I thought it was, at 20, to basically play a carnival game with humans standing up for their beliefs.
Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

I want to go back to Diehard GameFAN-era me, just to show him the news out of Electronic Arts today, since I know I was probably writing some kind of “EA can’t possibly get worse” article.

Giving free money to Argentina in 2025? That’s pretty on the fucking nose.

I can’t get over the internal feeling that thinking “after 2 1/2 years, I despise living in Northern Virginia more than ever” is somehow a character flaw.

What the fuck
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Charlie Kirk “connected with many young Americans, particularly young men, who feel invisible in our politics,” John Della Volpe writes. “Democrats right now have a rare opportunity to reach these voters — if they can learn what Mr. Kirk understood about connection.”

Funny. This is pretty much how I’ve felt about them for a decade.

“No words to be said”. Yeah, after they tried to take the fucking Capitol, I’d say that’s true.
These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?
September 11, 2025 at 12:15 PM
GTFOH. We have video of the incident itself, and no one saw someone with a fucking sniper rifle?

If I were more conspiracy aligned, I’d be asking about a setup right now.
Hopes for the fast capture of the person who fatally shot the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk evaporated on Wednesday when Kash Patel, the FBI director, announced that the authorities had released a man he had described as a central subject of a multiagency manhunt.

Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director, said that the agency’s investigation was continuing, reversing his earlier announcement that someone had been apprehended.

“Oh no, now that Charlie Kirk is dead, the right wingers are gonna be extra-fashy!”

They were gonna do it anyway. Grow up.

I swear, we treat these people like an alcoholic father coming home with his belt off, with largely the same results.
