Thanks. Talarico has a legit shot at winning, but what do I know!

It is. Won't re-litigate Kamala not going on it but I'm glad Talarico went and more Democrats should too, with the same messaging. Democrats fight for the little guy.

Jen Psaki went over this on her show the other day. Obama didn't freeze Fox out of the White House briefings. A clerical error was corrected as soon as it was discovered and Fox was re-instated. For a defense department presser, not the White House. Typical bullshit from Big Media.

David Cay Johnston wrote about this in his book "Perfectly Legal" which he wrote years ago. He may not have cited specific instances. Rather, he looked at the laws. ProPublica has the receipts.

For people watching TV football, that commercial where the Kelce family is freaking out because they might not be the perfect host? That one's gotta go.

It's that old 82/18 rule! 18% of the voting population gets 82% of "the narrative" from the media 😀 (I'm aware of the 80/20 rule, just saying) bsky.app/profile/adam...

I often dread opening Bluesky for the very thing you document: Relentless lack of joy. I know things are bad. I don't need to be clubbed over the head with that reality because of some offhand remark. Should be renamed Darksky. Waiting for someone to scold me for saying that.

Why haven't they always put quotation marks around "One big, beautiful bill"? Rhetorical question.

The guy that The Big Short (book, movie) was about said the current strategy of the AI overloads is to GET regulated so that regulatory capture can be executed. That's the long view, according to him.

Snark aside, the ineptitude of his offense is staggering. Herbert has been awful and the turnovers are killing what little momentum they build. Their season is already over.

Same old same old for USC. No defense. Once again, they're not a playoff team.

Maybe the rest of the world (you know who) is paying attention to this. There could be a major, non-military disruption in our future?

The Giants beat the Rams? Controversial! as Merv Griffin used to say. That's why they play the game!

As a Clipper fan, good riddance to Kahwi. Great but often unavailable, either b/c of injury or some backroom maneuvers (see Pablo Torre for this aspect). Ballmer gives a non-apology apology and gets draft picks and two current NBA players.

Ossoff is following Peter Magyar's lead in continuously calling out the corruption of the GOP and of the "ruling elite" in general. He wouldn't be the worst candidate in 2028.

Pro tennis continues to step on a rake with how they schedule matches. Its best product (eg Alcaraz vs Shelton) is televised when most of the country is sleeping. It's like having the Super Bowl on at 2am.
