So I think I’ve talked myself into AOC over Newsom or anyone else just because I can’t take another cycle of an establishment candidate moving left, still not being trusted by the left, while taking positions too far left for the median voter. Let’s try something different.

Being a kid in the pre-internet early ‘90s, baseball had so much cultural clout — I spent a good portion of my time thinking about Ryne Sandberg, Ozzie Smith, Will Clark, Fred McGriff, Roger Clemens. Don’t think that was unusual either. Can’t imagine many kids are like that today.

Hackers have reportedly destroyed the entire IT infrastructure of Russia’s Aeroflot in a year-long cyber operation. All critical systems—from databases to internal mail and executive communications—were breached. Around 7,000 servers were wiped and over 20TB of data stolen.

It's pretty funny that Trump has engineered a geo-political game of chicken between two societies - the US and China - where the winner will be the society most willing to withstand economic pain and inconveience in furtherance of some future national collective goal. Not really a US strong suit!

"Tariffs are a great thing, just don't show them on your website to customers" is a flawless encapsulation of 2025 so far. No notes. 10/10. It's amazing how stupid these people think you are.

I am an urban gardener in a place with a 303 day growing season and pretty good at it. It is a wonderful hobby but if it was our primary source of produce we’d have scurvy inside of a year.

INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."
