Reminder Ken Paxton who is running for Senate in Texas pardoned his friend who was in jail for raping a boy for years. Oh well, let's move on.

CW: extreme police violence. A trans masc attorney in Oklahoma was arrested while in court for "contempt of court." The police kicked him and put him in a chokehold while he screamed that he couldn't breathe.

It’s not pointless nostalgia. There is strong scientific evidence that learning to write by hand brings significant cognitive benefits.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark sent a tip to the FBI accusing Trump of authorizing his murder: “I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Present Trump authorized is murder.“

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Intentional walks are part of the game, because it’s a *team* game. If a team doesn’t have other players who can drive in an intentionally walked player, that’s their problem.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

If you can ignore the red state fanbase, Oklahoma has a chance to be pretty good this year. Last year we were subpar at QB and virtually all the receivers got hurt. New OC, top transfer QB w/ receivers, and potentially badass defense, but the schedule will be brutal.

When you have a strong emotional response to something online, your first reaction should not be to share that content. Rather, your first reaction should be to pause and ask yourself, “who is benefiting from making me feel this way and what are they trying to get me to do?”
