Are we going to bring back #Takesgiving over here? Where we live tweet the most ridiculous things our family members say over the course of the afternoon?
That was one of the funniest things to exist on Twitter and I wanna see it come back.

The Mamdani discourse is a lot, but it reflects a general lack of Democratic leadership elsewhere.
With an inspiring Democratic president, powerful leaders in the House and Senate and a charismatic DNC chair, there wouldn't be such focus on the New York City mayor. We don't have any of the former.

Re Mamdani discourse I know some folks will not like hearing this but feels like the convo is becoming way too saturated. I really appreciate this guy and am marveling his win. And, I love New York but the world doesn't revolve around it.

even wilder and probably not a great sign that this country has a severe mental health crisis and the solution most people turn to is youtubers and chat-gpt (because we also don’t fund or make healthcare available)

have someone in your life who loves you as much as the democratic party loves rural white voters who will never vote for them

Democrats plan a new investment in winning rural voters, who've fled the party
Democrats are announcing a new investment to win over voters in rural areas — where the party has suffered deep losses in recent elections — by leaning on an economic message.

there is zero chance the Yankees failed to turn a profit in any year, but especially in 2025 when they were coming off a World Series appearance. If an MLB owner says he lost money, that's like me saying I can fly. You should insist on proof.
(I can't fly, just so no one asks me to demonstrate.)

Would love to see him in Cleveland, but he probably expects to be paid so that won't happen #Guardians #Cheapskates
Imai Tatsuya, a posted MLB-ready pitcher, would like to take down a team like the Dodgers rather than join them. :eyes:

Journalists are supposed to care about facts. It's a fact that RFK Jr. believes vaccines cause autism, but it's also a fact that vaccines do not, in fact, cause autism, documented in plenty of studies. When you cast it as "scientists' opinions" vs. "RFK's opinions" you devalue factual evidence.

The performance of Myles Garrett and the #Browns defense makes it all the more infuriating that their offense looks like shit.
Myles Garrett keeps rewriting the record books! 😤 With his second sack of the day vs. the Raiders, he broke his own Browns single-season sack record (16) and is now on pace to challenge the NFL record (22.5).

The Scooby Doo Theory of Housing states that we can arrest housing price inflation if we only some clever kids are able to unmask the evil villain responsible for making rent go up.
I think this is mostly San Francisco finally shrugging off the pandemic, but it is *really* funny that rent prices in San Francisco shot up *immediately* after the city banned RealPage and other algorithmic price setting software.
My pre trends are incredible!

This really feels like a year we have two totally weird teams in the Super Bowl. Like two Wild Cards or something crazy like that. Nobody looks unbeatable. Hell, half the teams with winning records don't even look *good* #NFL

He's unfortunately not wrong. Never truly competitive, no real history of it either, near zero media coverage outside of their home city. The #BlueJackets have a loyal fanbase and tons of potential and they have absolutely nothing to show for it.
On a recent episode of "The Bill Simmons Podcast," sports media personality Bill Simmons called the Blue Jackets the most irrelevant pro sports team.

Watching people whine about the new Honda Prelude and thinking about how so many car bros have no concept of what "good" performance looks like.
"Underpowered and too expensive!" they complain, about a car with 76 more lb-ft of torque and a lower inflation-adjusted starting price than the old one.
