Listening to the Gutfeld-Marchese interview. Marchese dings him for calling rival commentators "fat"; Gutfeld claims these people have called him Hitler. But they're mostly arguing about the hosts of The View; there's no record of them saying that on-air. 1/

One inning, one hit, one out — I know Dave Steib, despite everything, can't help but smile right now.

No moment in sports history has more richly deserved being played into a pharmaceutical ad by Michael Jackson's"Thriller."

Seems to be some confusion about this: The use of political imagery and symbolism to legitimate abominable personal conduct is a central, central theme of "One Battle After Another." If you're not perceiving that, it might be about you.

Ta-Nehisi Coates is well and truly back to reclaim his reputation, in certain circles, as the American commentariat’s clearest-eyed observer. It’s a role he often seems not to want. Yet it sticks to him; the searing moral force of his work is a magnet and a glue.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause
By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

TIL that 8chan’s founder, Fredrick Brennan, develops digital typography as well as software and created a typeface designed to fill out The New York Times's lettering — The Times long had only the letters required to spell its name and commissioned Matthew Carter for a similar project.

It was evident last night: Few units in the history of the NFL stand to benefit from veteran presence quite as much as this Eagles defense. Roseman remains on the ball.

I might write about this at length later. But there’s this pervasive hostility towards African American women in certain spaces that’s almost impossible to describe with words, but that’s often so palpable it beggars belief that people don't complain about it more. It transcends political lines.

Getting hurt is bad and we pray healing and a speedy recovery upon the infirm. TPOTLBAWY ✌🏿.
Let's be clear: Certain players on the Indiana Fever elevated the WNBA's profile. And as a sport built by the thankless labor of Black women, it's understandable that people have reservations about that. But the Fever aren't super-relevant to the actual sport and I don't have opinions about them.

I hate to point this out, but the Constitution mandates neither congressional districts nor FPTP. One could hypothetically make a state law mandating everyone in the state run on the same ballot and simply seat the top vote-getters.

It's remarkable these kinds of screeds appear on government sites at all. You'd think that people would have seen this propaganda for what it was long before this page went live.
This webpage on the Louisiana Secretary of State's website features an astonishing, ahistorical description of the 1872 gubernatorial election:

The segment that just aired on Fox News is really something. It lays out the network’s priorities and mindset in detail. It should probably be analyzed in graduate journalism seminars.
I don't think I've ever seen such a clear distillation of a media outlet's ethos.

I don’t even think it’s possible for the democratic process to sensitize itself in any way to the particulars of a dispute involving this kind of money. Which is to say, this is a fight unfolding, effectively, beyond any kind of public discourse.

That *this* Justice Department would close the door on *that* investigation in a way that carries virtually no apparent political benefits is probably Bondi & Co.'s strongest case for why they're telling the truth.

This isn't just, like, me crying out in bewilderment. But I think people really are jarred by the sense that everything has gone somewhere way out of reach. And I think that’s a politically consequential feeling.
Where did all the money go? Colleges are raising tuition rates and shuttering, left and right. Performance venues are cutting corners. Hollywood stars are making tracks for Broadway, which also can’t turn a profit. White-collar companies aren’t hiring recent grads like they used to.

Wait wait wait I'm not done. Trump's "Crippled America" book repeated this phrase like an incantation: "No one is telling me to say these things." When he won, voters got the sense that he and the GOP meant what they said and didn't care if it was popular.
Mamdani is running against — and I know this is a reach but hear me out — two of the most scandal-plagued politicians alive. His dealbreaker stance is not much of a dealbreaker for voters. And some of his peers despise him. And his voters.
