One positive thing that's happening is that the "let's meet in the middle" people are looking more and more unhinged in the eyes of regular people. My FedBook page which includes a lot of normies is on fire regularly. Folks are done.

if I was still teaching journalism, we'd be opening tomorrow's class with a dissection of how in the fuck they printed this in the first place
WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.”
It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.

It’s actually pathetic to apply to college, get accepted, pay to be there, and then try to stop your professor from teaching you because you’re such a huge fan of authoritarianism. Even more pathetic to record your professor to get them fired.

The country is so poorly run we can’t receive packages from overseas anymore, and I’m not sure it makes the top 10 of the administration’s dumbest, unforced errors

Today’s pupper moment of joy is Wally, exhausted after a long play date with his bestie at the parko. He stopped into my store with his mom and quickly fell asleep on her lap, ears and toe beans tucked.

If you're anti-vaccine, you're anti-science, and you're anti-life. GTF out of the way. You're taking away people's right to protect themselves from death, disease, and sequelae. Your voice has no place in public discourse.

I put this on every single elected official that continues to offer thoughts and prayers while human beings bleed to death from gunshot wounds in churches, schools, concerts, night clubs, community parades, and the list goes on.
It’s Republicans that blocked the laws. Don’t put this on Democrats.

In the abstract there's no inherent connection between crypto and being a malevolent, transgressive asshole. But the two things run together with remarkable consistency.
Sex toys are being hurled on the court at WNBA games. A cryptocurrency group says they're behind it – and planning for more.
The group says the acts are "pranks" intended to draw attention to their crypto meme coin and not meant to disrespect women athletes.

Crypto group claims responsibility for hurling sex toys at WNBA games
A spokesman for the cryptocurrency meme coin creators told USA TODAY Sports they launched sex toys as a lighthearted joke.

Taking a sub to the chest is nothing compared to catching a 60-pound deep dish pizza.
There's going to be a lot of feds with giant circles punched clean through their stomachs, standing there all confused like Wile E. Coyote.
