I write about stuff. History, politics, sports, and whatever else crosses my mind. Some of it’s insightful. Some of it’s insufferable. None of it is solicited.

a graphic of text that says '"Survival Tip #1: Rehearse the violence you're capable of. You hesitate because you've never imagined doing harm. He doesn't hesitate because he's already done it.

The interactive story pilot was simple but incredibly unique and a fun experience. Plus, how cool that readers get to make decisions that will determine the entire plot?!

Huge thanks to Canada for not tolerating Uncle Sam’s weirdo behavior.

Living in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, this trade war with our neighbors just north is equal parts annoying and hilarious. I’m good—I planned for this. But the MAGA crowd? They're CRASHING tf out. And I’m enjoying every second.

“If you don’t like it, then move!”

I used to laugh.

But now it sounds less like an argument, and more like an offer.

Some people have this idea in their head that strict voting laws are to maintain electoral integrity, which couldn't be further from the truth.

As someone who also watches First Take religiously, I can’t say that he’s the way back to the White House… but I CAN say, he might ACTUALLY be what the Deme need. He’d do what Newsom THINKS he’s doing.

He’s got my vote, idc, the bar is through the floor.

@aoc.bsky.social Michigans 1st district held a town hall WITHOUT Bergman (who is in district today but is not meeting voters). @maddow.msnbc.com showed a clip of the town hall in Escanaba MI last night. We’d love to have you here.

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social I thought you may find this interesting.

Jack Bergman from Michigan's 1st district hasn't had a town hall since 2017 so the people in that district are organizing a town hall on their own.

This has got to be one of the funniest things that I've accidentally stumbled on
Screenshot of the 'Our Values' section on Eagle Mine's website, displaying icons and text for Safety, Respect, Integrity, and Excellence set against a backdrop of grey rocks. Each value is represented by a symbol: a safety helmet for Safety, a handshake for Respect, a shield for Integrity, and a star for Excellence. The colors used are blue and white. Screenshot of the 'Our Leadership' section on Eagle Mine's website, showing portraits of four male leaders. From left to right, the first wears a dark suit with a light blue shirt, the second a dark suit with a blue shirt, the third a light blue shirt and dark suit, and the fourth a grey suit with a white shirt. Screenshot showing additional leadership team members from Eagle Mine's website. It includes portraits of four individuals: a woman wearing a black blouse and two men in dark suits, one with a light blue shirt and the other with a white shirt, followed by a man in a black suit with a striped shirt
