capitalism is so efficient at distributing resources
This year, universities are giving $228 million to football coaches who failed at coaching football so that they won't coach football anymore.

I think it’s fair to say there have been more overt attacks on and threats to freedom of expression in the US since January than in our entire history. And recently they are accelerating and getting more brazen.

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

Seems like a good time to point out that grocery prices are increasing and unemployment is up and, unless you’re a billionaire or a person with a mass-deportation kink, no normal American’s life has improved in any way since Trump took office. I have a column on this posting in the morning.

Trump's #BigUglyBill would cost 11.8 MILLION Americans their healthcare coverage. It would close rural hospitals across the country. And it would add to the national debt. This is a terrible plan and we’re fighting like hell to stop it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/u...

Reds have only one hit but are up 5-0 after three innings vs. PIT. Last two runs scored on a wild pitch/E2... De La Cruz scored from 2B while Steer came home all the way from 1B. Not sure I've seen an E2 become a three-base error/run scored before.

In the Nuremberg judges trial, the judges who helped grease the wheels of Nazi atrocities argued that they were just applying the horrific law, and should not be held accountable.
Roberts, Gorsuch, Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas don’t even have that excuse. They’re making up their own horrific law.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

The Brits in particular, who lost hundreds of soldiers supporting the failed US missions in both Iraq and Afghanistan, seem like they would be pretty sensitive about being called freeloading cowards by the Americans!
The US national security clusterfuck is leading the BBC News in the UK.
Anchor Clive Myrie doesn’t know whether to laugh or just stare down the camera lens and scream, “WTF?!”
Vance & Hegseth trash-talking Europe is picked up strongly.
Trump’s US is a global laughing stock.
