The team later announced that X-rays on his shoulder came back negative and that he would not return to the game.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

If you put hot dogs and pickles against an AM radio tower, they act as speakers. Also, don't do that

In my first magazine story for @motherjones.bsky.social, I wrote about attacks on disinformation researchers, and the ways they echo attacks on climate scientists in the '90s. One person compared it to the Red Scare: “How do we not see the historical parallels?” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

For The Reveal I wrote about one of my favorite supporting characters in any movie: VERTIGO's Midge, whose crucial role in the film isn't always noticed (kind of like Midge):
Marjorie Also Known as Midge
In ‘Vertigo,’ Barbara Bel Geddes plays a lovesick sidekick. What could have been a thankless part becomes as rich and moving as any role in the film.

i don’t think it’s sinking in for some white liberals that your neighbor putting up a trump/vance sign is the equivalent of supporting the KKK. it is an act of aggression. i really don’t care if they’ve been nice to you—they are objectively hateful people with whom you should not associate.
