Did anyone catch the brief music from “The Parallax View” in the latest “Ted Lasso”?

Remember: Trump did this-to all of us. "Diesel goes up, shipping costs go up.” A trucker laid it out plainly: filling a semi’s 220-gallon tank can cost $1,320. That cost does not vanish between the truck stop and the grocery shelf. Families end up paying for it in every delivery.

Seems like this could be a problem for ground-based astronomy. It's only a test, but...

Trump’s a known quantity. He will flounder, but eventually, if the evidence is found, he will fall. What about other rich or well financed pedos who are hiding in plain sight? What about them? Who are they? Where are they? Where are the victims?

@nbcnews.com Did I miss your coverage of VP Vance being booed at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies? Seems like relevant information about how some Europeans view the current administration.

Trump just stepped in his own shit, and now he’s trying to shake it off. Don’t let him.

@msnbc.com You do know that news happens on the weekends as well as during the weeks. Why are you showing a Nicolle Wallace clips show when there at least 5 major stories as of 4:00 pm on Sunday, September 28?

@msnbc.com Can somebody please convince Nicolle Wallace to get some help with all of the “um”’s she inserts into her non-scripted conversations she has with guests? The show is good, but the “um”’s are very distracting and irritating. Thank you.

Parents, be vigilant against PragerU instructional materials in your kids classrooms! It’s an extremist outfit masquerading as an educational nonprofit. It’s a far right wing response to PBS kid’s programming, it is propaganda designed to appeal to children and careless or bigoted educators. Beware!

Republicans want you to forget that most of the worst things in the BBB don’t happen until AFTER the Midterms and that their billionaire tax cuts are permanent! #MomSky #Pinks We must keep voters attention on this!

What aid is the U.S. government sending to Myanmar to help with the terrible earthquake they had? Is there any part of USAID still functioning that is doing something to help? What is our Secretary of State doing?

Have y'all seen this? "It's staggering hypocrisy," the career official was put on leave for sharing information that was not classified, "while political appointees leak classified war plans and face zero consequences. This isn’t just a double standard it’s reckless and dangerous." #ProudBlue

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports. A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Hey, faithful watcher of your 4:00 show. I strongly suggest you attempt to cut out the numerous “um” insertions in your speech. It is very annoying. Most of your guests use few or no “um”’s. Have a staffer count them and see.

@hughhowey.com Just finished the first book after watching both seasons on Apple+ TV. I liked the differences between the two. I was thinking of holding off reading the 2nd book until after the next season of Silo happens, but I don’t think I can wait that long!

FFS tell Nicolle Wallace to stop with the “um”’s. Put a bell behind her that rings every time she says “um”. I am about at the point of not watching MSNBC because of her.

2024 is almost over. The Biden administration is in its final weeks of fantastic economic leadership. But it looks like 2025-2029 will be even better! 🤦‍♂️

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Longtime watcher of your 4:00 pm show. But. You use the “um” sound in between statements way too often. Most of your guests hardly say “um” at all. You seriously need to lose this habit. It is not becoming.
