Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 01/10/2026My dad spent 20 years operating a nuclear reactor underwater. Applying Trump logic, I'm figure I am pretty much going to become Godzilla at any moment. Prepare your cities accordingly. 010
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Legendary. I hope this is a future Omnibus topic. 011
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 16/09/2026My favorite ever along these lines is Tyler Rogers striking out Graham Pauley on a pitch that hit Pauley in the face. 000
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Mitch McConnell didn’t show up for work today. Does that count as a no call, no show? 000
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Lexus scrapped the touchpad a few years back. My RX has a widescreen touchscreen. 000
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Paging @hodgman.bsky.social we appear to have a possible confirmed sighting of an actual hotdog sandwich. 000
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 24/08/2026So, SCOTUS says courts can’t do anything because no one is harmed by a threat to end democracy. They have to wait until Trump ends democracy, at which point it will be too late for SCOTUS to do anything about it. What a bunch of complicit fucking cowards. 111112
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Remember when McConnell said right after Obama was elected that their only job was to make sure he was a one term President? The North Remembers. 000
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Every kid tries it, thinking they’ve outsmarted the rule book. And every kid gets immediately rung up. 🤣 1390
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 30/07/2026It screams insecurity. Trump is the most insecure person in the world. He doesn’t think his presence is enough to impress anyone, so he overcompensates by adding “opulence” to his office. 010
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 30/07/2026This isn’t unusual, in and of itself, though. SpaceX has a near monopoly on national security launches. They are far far cheaper than ULA (who is the only other provider with national security launch certification). Musk is a chud, but SpaceX is nearly indispensable now. 130
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I'm one of his constituents and I am getting fed up. He's term limited, so the ONLY conceivable reason he's not doing anything is to keep a low profile for a Presidential run... but willingness to fight when required is going to be a huge part of my decisison on who to support. Time to get busy. 000
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Kavanaugh: "Originalism isn't a thing when it conflicts with my desired result. How could ANYONE anticipate an undocumented immigrant?!" Thomas: "Domicile is what matters. Domicile means intent to remain permanently. *hand waives* Undocumented immigrants are a problem for another day."" 262
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Kavanaugh's dissent on the Constitutional issue in which he explicitly rejects Originalism to arrive at his preferred interpretation of the 14th Amdmnt is amazing in its shamelessness. He argues that "things are different" now because the Framers could not have anticipated undocumented immigrants. 🤨 040
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Contempt of court finding and jail until compliance is the typical reaction in non-Trump cases. Would love to see the same here. Start throwing assholes in jail until you have their attention. 2170
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Fox News is a cable channel and not subject to the FCC though. www.npr.org/2023/03/16/1...npr.orgThe truth is there's little the government can do about lies on cableTucker Carlson trying to rewrite history on the Jan. 6 riots is exposing the government's limited ability to regulate distortions on cable news. 130

Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I check. Recheck. Check again. Then make my wife check me. Then we check together. Then I book I once actually booked a hotel room for the right days but the wrong month when I was taking the bar exam. Ever since then, I’ve never trusted myself. 010
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 12/05/2026They are redefining reality. Clyburn is a HOUSE MEMBER. He doesn't have to represent the "rest of South Carolina". He has a responsibility to represent HIS DISTRICT that was 47% African America. 000
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 12/05/2026I'm 100% positive that was something Gilbert came up with. 000
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Yep. I only subscribe now to read Grant Brisbee and Baggs for Giants coverage. If they go, so do I. 020
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 30/04/2026We need to get batter at taking people at face value. If they tell you they are terrible, BELIEVE THEM. 000
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Welp. Looks like California has some more redistricting work to do... 010
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 29/04/2026That sad ass onion will definitely make you cry. 010
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 29/04/2026The picture of the US Attorney in the bio page you linked to is hilarious. He is clearly trying AS HARD AS HE CAN to mimic Trump's "serious scowl" and not remotely pulling it off. 021
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 25/04/2026@jessethorn.bsky.social @jordanmorris.bsky.social @jordanjessego.bsky.social Imagine my chagrin when I listened to an entire baseball/Star Wars names quiz on JJGo and there was NARY A MENTION of the ultimate crossover: Lars Nootbaar. 100
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 21/04/2026My dad spent 20 years in the Navy and gets every vaccine offered and sometimes forgets he got them a few months back and goes and gets them again. That's how ingrained it is in the military's culture. Hegseth is once again showing he doesn't understand a thing about the military. 030
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I am curious to hear why you believe that. I've been very impressed with it. What out there is better from a streaming standpoint? 100
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 21/04/2026The Atlantic should find a way to counterclaim. Avoid that voluntary dismissal that will inevitably happen once the attorneys explain to Kash what he's going to have to divulge. 010

Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 20/04/2026The most egregious can be, but under a “notice pleading” standard, even sloppy cases often get allowed to proceed temporarily. Outright dismissal is rare. Summary judgment after discovery is far more common. 021
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Which is why the Atlantic should find grounds to counterclaim to prevent unliteral dismissal. 010
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 20/04/2026It's called Rule 11. It requires that representations made to the court during litigation be supported by facts and accurate, to the best of your belief, and that they be supported by a nonfrivolous interpretation of the law. There is usually a lot of leeway given, however, before fines are imposed. 110
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Agreed. I’m all for not prematurely jumping on every accusation that gets made, but when contemporaneous receipts are provided, the assumptions shift. 000

Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Orbital mechanics are weird to wrap your head around at first. You go up a bit, but to get into orbit, you need to go sideways really fast so that you continually miss the Earth as you fall. 000

Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 09/03/2026I’d be happy with any of the maybes, but Beshear is my choice currently. Having voted for him multiple times here in Kentucky, his ability to govern in a principled way while still getting shit done is a pretty strong combination. 010
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 05/03/2026That’s what people are missing. His post was an invitation for each candidate to begin their bidding. Dude is fully corrupt. 0200
Matt Arend @matthewarend.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Stitt: “They’ve lived here for 15 years. Attend our churches. Are like family to us. But I’m not saying we should give them citizenship.” Why not, governor? What else are you looking for? What disqualifying factor might they have? I have suspicions. 140
