I need "Stats are down but he played great" to make it into the lexicon.
screenshot of a post from X by the Mirriam-Webster account. Their tweet says Words step up when numbers fail. They are retweeting a post from @david_arid that reads: There was a computer flitch at the end of tonight's Nuggets game that erased all the players' stats, which led to this fantastic screengrab from the post-game show. Then there is a blurry picture from a men's basketball game and the chyron says: Time Hardaway Jr. Stats are down but he played great."

For all the shit happening with the USG, I'm glad that none of it has touched the national treasure that is the CPSC social media team.

Remember when Obama saluted with a cup of coffee in his hand and it was a national outrage on Fox?

I'm glad to see that #Boulder city council is continuing to make it hard to do things. Way to go, team.

Literally the day after I get contested for suggesting that the release of the Epstein Files prior to the '24 election wouldn't have moved the needle at all, this gem comes out.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

The possibility of Mamdani winning the NYC Mayor race is really showing how terrified some people are that the status quo might change.

So, this is bad. Share this with your conservative friends and family, let them know this is what Dems are actually fighting against.

Lots of people up in arms about Maine's Senate race. I think the bigger question is "Why is it hard to find qualified (D) candidates for statewide races?" Is it infighting? Capture of the Prof/Mgr class who don't want to give up jobs? Structural pushback from the party? Like, why is this so hard?

This thread nails it.

I am again listening to Ezra like some sort of fringe Opus Dei zealot who believes mortification should be of the mind not the flesh.

He’s talking rural voters.

The guest (left) absolutely nails it and Ezra (right), of course, “finds it hard to believe,” then pivots to talking about his book.

And what scholars have found, who study very carefully public opinion on environmental issues and we do as well, there's not a big difference between rural and urban Americans in their view on environmental issues. And in fact, a lot of rural people care very deeply about the environment because the land is so important to them. And yet, they feel that the process is really problematic. There's a study that was about wind farms in Indiana, and to quote a person in that, they quoted, they said, it's not that I'm against wind energy, I'm against how it was done here. “I found this raised a lot of skepticism for me. I mean, first, I'm not against X, where X is clean energy, affordable housing, mass transit. I'm just against how it was done here is, I feel like the most common structure of I'm against X. But in abundance, as you know, I spent a lot of time talking about and researching and reporting on how clean energy projects in particular are cited in different parts of the country. Yeah. What I can say for sure is that red states cite all kinds of different forms of energy much more easily than blue states do because they have much less complex and deliberative procedures for citing them. If you want to build a wind farm in Texas, in rural Texas, it is just much easier than building it in rural California or rural New York.
