Again. The least progressive/left thing about me is we gotta go back to telling idiots they’re idiots. Especially anti-vaxx people. No, you don’t have a point. No, you aren’t just a concerned parent. You’re a threat to health and safety and you deserved to be mocked and shunned from polite society

yeah what this actually is is not “lol the DCCC is broke” it’s “we think we can win way more districts than we originally thought, please give us some more money so we can run up the score” this is good and we want them to succeed

I’m gonna keep the powder dry for now, it’s been 5 games, but we’re getting really close to needing to have a conversation about Rust and Rakell.

Murashov might be the real deal. Deserves to give the entire roster one hard punch to the jaw.

Muse should put Silovs in for the shootout. For legal reasons this is sarcasm.

Give Sergei Murashov a gun. He’s earned it.

Somehow they get a point. Why not steal the second?

Same story as against Washington. Waited until the second half of the game to wake up.

They give up a goal on this PK…Muse has either gotta peel a strip off then or shorten the bench in a real way. Can’t keep playing with fire this way.

Patrick Damp @synonymforwet.bsky.social · 9h
What is genuinely so confounding about this team so far is they have just zero cohesiveness. Can’t complete passes, out of position, and baffling decision-making. They’re not bad, per se, but just wholly disorganized.

Well, another game with a not-so-great start, but it’s in reach. They just have to find some flow. Incredibly sloppy play.

If you’re gonna bury Robertson for one (1) turnover that led to a goal, one of Rust or Rakell should get the same treatment for chasing the puck completely out of position and leaving Severson wide open at the back door.

Way too much puck-chasing. Could feel that goal coming a mile away.

Malkin-Novak-Chinakhov remains the Pens’ best line. That’s an energy shift.

Good: A shoot-first mentality on the power play. Bad: Not picking your head up and hitting shin pads and sticks because of it.

It’s game five of the season, and he very well may turn out to be A Guy, but the coaching staff’s sudden dislike of Robertson and fascination with Lapierre is uh…something.

Man that's so unfortunate. I understand the urge to punch Matthew Tkachuk in the face, though. Who among us.

I think it's very funny when people try to bring up Bill Clinton when doing "parties are the same" stuff, a guy who's presidency was so far in the past that Nirvana was still releasing albums, Doom was a brand new game, and the most recent Star Trek movie still had the original cast

i take issue with the idea that dems play a central role in executions. at the federal level, no dem president has overseen an execution since JFK. at the state level, there are more than i would like, but they’re typically states with purple or red legislatures.
One more thing about the death penalty before going offline. As disgusted as we should be by Trump's bloodlust, we should NOT lose sight of the CENTRAL role of Democrats in upholding, expanding, and enabling this system that seems to horrify so many people right now. It really cannot be said enough

As I often have said, one of Donald Trump's secret ingredients is the fact that a lot of people simply cannot and/or will not believe that the rich man on TV could really be this stupid

I really hate this sort of take. someone saying "we're better than this" is speaking aspirationally! you are not clever for insisting we aren't, you are giving people an excuse not to try to be.

The man has few beliefs in life but one them is the power of positive thinking from Norman Vincent Peale. His bluster isn’t him gaslighting or trying to speak alternative facts. He truly believes if he says it enough and believes it enough, it will happen.

Maybe it’s the human condition, maybe it’s something else, but it continues to be fascinating that ten years into him being a politician and in the public eye for decades, people can’t accept he’s just a dumb guy who thinks nothing bad can happen to him.

RIP Mike Ditka. Your strategy of getting the ball to the Italians made the Tigers champions.
