MLB players are so selfish for joining the Dodgers. Why would you want to join a team that 1) pays you the most money and 2) has the best chance of winning each year?

Every nazi movement needs a youth wing.
Happening now: Texas leaders announcing a rollout of a statewide program to put TPUSA chapters in high schools and colleges across the state. Gov. Abbott adds that schools that stand in the way should be reported to the Texas Education Agency.

A leaked DOJ memo obtained by @kenklippenstein.bsky.social reveals an effort to build a list of supposedly "anti-American" groups and individuals, an escalation of the administration's crackdown on dissent. The list targets "not just the left" but "anyone who isn't a Trump supporter," he says.

Not just Biden. Merrick Garland was a shitty choice for AG who failrd miserably. But then, he would also have made a shitty SCOTUS judge, and that goes back to Obama trying to make a choice that would appease Republicans, and then not fighting like hell for him when he did.

This fall, Hawaii's supreme court rejected an argument that recording interrogations is burdensome for police: “If children can record everyday events with ease, law enforcement cannot claim hardship to record perhaps its most consequential investigative act.”
Hawaii Supreme Court Expands Rights of Defendants, and Once Again Rebukes SCOTUS
The justices ruled that Hawaii’s constitution requires police to record interrogations. And they vowed to protect due process for Hawaii residents—unlike, they said, the Roberts Court.

Crumb has always been that most boomer of creatures, a "haha look at me tweak the squares" edgelord who goes into absolute "boo hoo i'm being cancelled" meltdown when the squares are tweaked
Bob Crumb coming out of retirement just to say "RFK Jr. is right about vaccines and my ex-wife should've taken more advice from me" is such a fitting end to Boomer Americana and everything the "alt-comix" movement claimed to stand for

The last is a feature not a bug. If you want to converge American and Chinese wages, removing the remaining health care safety net is a major step "forward."
Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.
