Forget AI. The innovation of the century is that someone finally invented a technology that could fact-check Donald Trump at scale: gas pumps.

What if Democrats let Elon Musk and the massive forces of capital buy this election?
It’s not victim-blaming to say that we must blame the villains if we want to make voters heroes.

Have we discussed the Astros winning their division at 81-81 and then having the unmitigated audacity to do a bullpen game in Game 1 of the postseason? That's disgusting. A bigger affront to baseball than the trash can thing

Ok so Trump is *promising* that he will pay every American adult $5,000 if Republicans win the House & Senate. And as I’m sure other astute observers are noting, that’s essentially a taxpayer-backed, congressionally unapproved $1.3 trillion bribe. He’s bribing the entire country—with our own money

Fort Worth Star-Telegram issues damning TCU report after having credentials revoked
On August 26, the Fort-Worth Star Telegram reported that TCU banned the paper from covering all Horned Frogs athletics. According to the Star-Telegram, TCU rescinded its credentials over its reporting on a locker room fight. TCU’s decision did not have the desired effect, as it did not intimidate the Star-Telegram out of reporting on the incident and its…

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

Garrett Mitchell gives classy tribute to Karl Ravech during on-field interview
The utility of the on-field interview during MLB games is questionable at best. First and foremost, these are professional athletes who are attempting to perform at the highest level while also bantering with whoever is on play-by-play. Beyond that obvious hiccup, conversations can be stilted and awkward, with the wind and weather making communication between…

understand that the wnba has been under siege because it’s a league of women, especially black women. the Right™️ thinks it’s sweet out here and ripe for rabble rousing, but —as is usually the case— the Right has underestimated black women.

It isn’t about being trans. It’s about silencing strong women — especially gay women and/or women who are not white. This should be obvious.

Let’s be honest. MAGA doesn’t want women to play in the WNBA or do anything that isn’t sex or child rearing. There aren’t any trans people in the WNBA so a big part of this is just to intimidate and harass women.
