Trump campaigns for Ken Paxton in Texas: "He can be a pain in the ass sometimes, I'll be honest. Is he here, by the way? Oh, there he is. I didn't even know if he was here! I don't care."

Delightful also to hear real eagle noises. In movies eagles are always dubbed with hawks, since hawks found fierce and eagles sound like adorable squeakers.

🧵Lauren Boebert had sex with three of her staffers. Two of them were women. Her sex partners were Clarisse Navarro, Jeffrey Small and Raven Finnegan. Navarro's husband Jace Ratzlaff: "I assumed this would eventually surface. I’ll have no further comment on this topic.”

I really enjoy football but it's increasingly tied almost exclusively to betting, which is so off-putting. I get the idea of spreads and odds as a way of quantifying matchups but the Byzantine and bizarre ways in which it's metastasized is frankly gross.

a lot of people want to believe that right-wing beliefs are rooted in some legitimate material grievance. that makes it easier to imagine that if we simply solved the material problem, they’d deradicalize. but they won’t, because they aren’t disillusioned, they’re just morons.

A few years ago I went to a pig sanctuary and most of the pigs were stoned from eating green acorns. This one, Wilbur, couldn’t stand up and was too big to lift, so the staff had to leave him in this bush and wait for him to sober up.
Wilbur, a stoned pig lying in the dirt and unable to stand at Pigs in the Wood sanctuary, Huddersfield. I later adopted him.

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

“Canadians are nice!” Sometimes, sure. but our internal cultural unifiers are pettiness, smugness, and nuclear-grade passive aggression. All this is to say: this is going to do permanent damage, and the Canadian response will largely be a long grudge punctuated by the occasional “I told you so”

incredible stuff here: The Atlantic tracked down Arday’s book proposal, which had stories wildly inconsistent with the final book. his proposal mentions surviving testicular cancer, but in the book he changes it to brain tumors. his proposal describes a 3 month coma that his book never mentions.

We rewatched A League of Their Own with the kids very recently and while I still really enjoyed it the "no crying in baseball" that everyone quotes now felt a bit... uncomfortable?

I think the things that make baseball one of the most charming and romantic sports is a double sided coin that also makes it one of the most resistant to major changes.
