And here I’d thought “Hegseth’s Retreat” was going to be a luxury intervention facility for recovering alcoholics…

I feel like WestWorld has to be the example that defines the category here, right? The first half of the first season was absolutely incredible. And just as quickly, I careened off the rails. I never even bothered to finish Season 2.

I’m know I’m just a crazed lib, but the president calling on Iran to “take out” major U.S. cities seems worse than the “deplorables” thing or whatever

See the thing is, the Constitution is pretty fucking clear on the “if those are your views” part of this statement.

Basically every “question” by every Senate Republican, in absolutely every hearing, is just angry shouting about some bizarre meme or niche conspiracy. They’re the majority in both houses of Congress!! It’s incredibly unserious! And the national press is just totally inured to it.

People are also upset about non-economic things that get expressed in economic terms, like the fact that everything seems wildly out of control and we have a maniac in charge of the country

USC has still never played a college football playoff game. And won’t again this year. Good night to be a Ducks fan. #GoDucks

That was a damned gritty win. Nobody would have judged Oregon for folding after losing Moore the way that they did. To get off the mat and win that game on the road against a top-12 team took real guts. Very proud of that effort. #GoDucks

This is such a profound, patriotic, and moving response. *This* is the answer to Trumpism and Stephen Miller. Let’s f’ing go.

Among other things, you would be hard pressed to find a less strategically useful position in the capital region for this purpose. It’s at the low point of the city, at the base of a hill, and it basically only has line of sight into the Kennedy Ctr, Lincoln Memorial, and a bunch of parks.

One thing that’s both remarkable and under remarked-upon is that, just by living in Washington D.C. you can often tell that something is up, hours before the news breaks. The clear increase in low-flying government helicopter traffic on an otherwise quiet Saturday night was a dead giveaway.

For what it’s worth, it looked like it actually says “DEMOLISHED”. He’s literally fantasizing about destroying the national memorial to an assassinated president. If you saw your teenager engaging in this kind of destructive ideation, you’d get them help.

He didn’t subsidize it. Congress did. He’a not a donor. He’s not its benefactor. Fixing it - faithfully executing a law passed by Congress - is literally the job.

What I find truly damning about this is that Dan Lanning hired both a new offensive coordinator and a defensive coordinator. The existence of these tells didn’t come up in those interviews? Did Dan interview them at all?? www.instagram.com/reel/DdWV1-l... #GoDucks

Worth emphasizing: The $257 million to renovate the Kennedy Center - the national memorial to an assassinated president - was appropriated by Congress. It’s not Donald Trump’s money and he’s not the donor. It’s yours, and you probably contributed more to this project than he did.

I don’t really like Newsom, and I have a ton of admiration for VP Harris. BUT… we shouldn’t clear the field for anyone. Every candidate should be tested, and we need the absolute strongest field we can muster.
