J.D. Vance has been a breathless supporter of Neo-Nazis at home and abroad, promoting their fascist ideas and ideology to a jaw-dropping degree. But he has the fucking nerve to say someone tied to *socialists* doesn't belong in America. *You* are the un-American ideologue, you goose-stepping dork.

Your annual reminder of what REALLY happened: Donald Trump went on WWOR Radio on 9/11/01--yes, that very day--to say that with the collapse of the Twin Towers, he now had the tallest building in New York. Which was a good preview of things to come, in that it was both disgusting and a lie.

It's been fascinating to see some of the sucker behavior from Pablo Torre's "peers" in journalism who clearly have not listened to a single episode of his show. At the end of each episode of Pablo Torre finds out, he shouts out the staff who helped put it together.
Tweet 1 from Paul McLeod: All kudos to Pablo Torre who deserves his victory lap but the one issue I have with him is he clearly has a staff of talented people working on these stories and he rarely seems to acknowledge them or push back against the perception he is doing this all himself.

Tweet 2: It took a few minutes to even find some names but anyway here is a list from the Peabody awards. Congrats to them too.

Tweet 3: I bet everybody is loving my nuanced take on sharing credit among researchers and reporters. Time to take a swig of coffee, log back into twitter and check my mentions

It's what happens when the sources are all team executives blowing smoke up the reporters' asses and they have no critical mind to understand that the league office not leaking or cooperating with their reporting does not equal a weak case. They should burn their sources for burning them.

Obviously shout out @pablo.show and his entire team for their incredible investigative, Pulitzer Prize-winning work over the past year covering this Clippers story, but man what the hell was this ESPN report from 2 weeks ago?
Sources: NBA has no evidence
Ballmer funneled money to Leonard via sponsors
Don Van Natta Jr., Baxter Holmes, Ramona Shelburne
Aug 17, 2026, 11:23 AM ET

The NBA has found no evidence showing LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer funneled money through team sponsors to pay Kawhi Leonard in order to circumvent the salary cap, according to three people with knowledge of discussions between the two sides in recent days.
Instead, the NBA is focused on whether the team's introduction of Leonard to team sponsors constitutes a violation of the league's rules prohibiting salary cap circumvention, two of the sources said. The league is examining whether the Clippers are guilty of "failure to supervise" employees, though it's unclear what specific rule the team would have violated or what the penalties would be, two of the sources said.

The new “Stan” remix stinks
Dear Mr. President,
I'm sorry. I thought I was the only one left behind last night, and had no idea Margo's car was also pulled over, and sent back to the Airport. Since I was alone in the van outside Customs without my passport, I panicked, and should have just called Secret Service instead of you. I also am sorry if I was an embarrassment walking the course in Scotland. The first day I was told there were no carts, and people walked, which is why I walked. The second day, 1 was specifically asked by, I forget who his name was, but one of the main people who worked there, if I could continue walking, and tell any other girls who would head out there to do the same to spare the Course any more Carts. If there is anything else I have done to cause you trouble, please forgive me. I know that some people have said I haven't been texting them back, and there have been some International cell issues (John was having technical issues on the Plane too, so asked me to help him out).
I want things to always be right between us. I also know I've been distracted all week (forgetting to eat throughout the days, and even forgetting to sleep, and only catching a couple hours at a time. I haven't been myself, dwelling on the Past, and the pain of losing my Dad, and I started letting the remarks of people who haven't bothered me before, get to me—not because I care what others think, but because I see myself being lowered in your eyes and good opinion. That is the fear you see, because I never want to bring you anything but joy. I'm sorry I lost my focus. You are all that matters to me. I don't want to ever let you down. Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this Life-That's what I wanted to use this card for, when you saw me at the Cash Register, and once again did what you didn't have to do, and gifted me with Mementos of this Trip of a Lifetime, a Coming of Age. I will return a better person. I have to sign off now, as the cars are leaving.
See you soon.Dear Mr. President,
Now this is the Note I wanted to write (But the apology needed to come first.)
I have learned so much about myself on this Trip-I always knew coming home to my roots would be enlightening, but I had no idea how much. For the first time, in I don't know how long, you forced me to "unplug." We could be out on the Course, with no machines, and even forget what time it was! I didn't have to be "Human Printer." I could take time to enjoy good conversation, and still get all my work done at the end of the day. In fact, I even had time to take long morning and evening walks to enjoy each Sunrise and Sunset (though I did forget to eat and sleep!). With so much thinking time, I confess it did have a slightly negative effect at times, that I know you picked up on, but the end result, I believe, will be worth it. I had no idea how rapidly I was approaching burnout, and starting to envy those whose only "job" seems to be to talk with you, and look pretty. I want that job!! So many times, I'm just trying to stay afloat with all that's coming in for you, I look like a hunchback who didn't have time to freshen up (at least you know what I should look like)! Plus, I miss the days when you used to call, during my Talkshow days, and we'd talk about everything and nothing. I want to get back to that synergy. We shouldn't have to talk about work all the time!! I've always felt like an in-betweener, somewhere between Staff and those you enjoy talking to on the Plane or at Dinner, because that's who I used to be to you when I was a "Talkshow Host" (as much as I hated that actual job!). I wish I could hear every conversation, because that's when you're having a good time, getting away from it all, at least for a few moments.
But after going through all this self-analysis, my conclusion? I need to reunite my past self with my current into a better version who will make you proud. And please, when I fail, will you tell me? You have the absolute right to cuss me out, if n…
