I'm pretty irritated at Mike Judge. Idiocracy made me believe it would take 500 years for our society to devolve to this state, not 20.
Just talked to @jeffwarren.bsky.social about Sean Mannion interviewing with Philly last night! I suspect he's as shocked as I am that Mannion got the job...

Okay @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, have you added "impeach and remove Pam Bondi" to the to-do list yet?
BREAKING: Trump's Justice Department has determined there will be no civil rights investigation into the death of Alex Pretti, and that the CBP office will investigate whether its own officers followed agency policy and DHS will investigate Pretti.
UNBELIEVABLE.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

I am watching protestors disarm smoke bombs by deploying a lead person to place a neon cone over the gas, another person to run over and pour in a liquid, and a last person to cap the hole in the cone, which diffuses the gas immediately.

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.

I appreciate Pete Dougherty taking a calm, measured approach in response to @jumosq.bsky.social's piece.
Still, I remain unconvinced. Pete's argument boils down to "it would be weird for the Packers to skimp on coaches."
Yes! It would be weird! But that argument is not evidence in and of itself

Do the Packers have coaching staff issues because they're cheap? The argument doesn't hold up.
