Jack Bryan on Threads talks about how Frank Sinatra saved Don Rickles's life. Rickles said, "Some goons were beating me up. Frank comes over and says, 'Okay, guys, that's enough.'"
Bryan says--with some truth--that he remembered that anecdote when Trump hogged the credit for ending the war in Gaza.

a friend and I have been debating whether the alleged Kirk shooter was either a "dirtbag left cumtown chapo stupidpol poster" or if he was an "irony poisoned, terminally online, neonazi groyper type" given the gun casings, which shows just how impenetrable this is going to be for MSM

@chrislhayes.bsky.social channeling the same level of anger I too feel about this absolute insanity, as well as every other case of the death of expertise on display in this regime. By platforming this crap, it seems Trump and the GOP are wilfully destroying our country.
