I can't get over the absurdity of this entire thing: the quickness with which this was shown and taken down; the refusal to show it again so Smith could (you know) actually read it; the refusal to acknowledge that there may be more than one person in the world named Jack...

And here’s where I don’t get it: the bar used to requires masks seven days a week. With this one change, they now require masks SIX days a week. I don’t understand how that equates to an attempted genocide of immunocompromised people.

I finally read the article about the bar in Greenfield, Mass. and I’m not sure anyone will ever be able to convince me this isn’t some long-term, method-acting parody.

All this shit that’s happened in Missouri with the electoral maps is a perfect example of how far MAGA judges and politicians are willing to go to win. Even SCOTUS was like “Yeah, it sucks your primary and November maps are different, but that’s your own fault, as we’ve told you TWICE already.”

I just left the Apple Store, where somebody kept trying to haggle for a discount on an iPhone. Like, aside from working for actual Apple, did they really think they could just get a discount?

Man, the NYT is bending over backwards to avoid saying Trump is lying. -We control 60 percent of oil? Exaggerated! It’s only 22. -Ended the War in Gaza in just a few weeks? Exaggerated! Its been going on almost two years since he took office. -Eliminated 97 percent of drugs? No evidence!

And the thing is: the voters that this *would* appeal to are never going to vote for a Democrat. Look at Texas, where people are actually saying “Yeah, Ken Paxton may be a criminal and an awful person, but I’m still voting for him over a Democrat!”

I say this with all due respect for Dick Durbin and his political career… Fuck Dick Durbin. Stop with this “We have to be better than them” act. Worry about that once you’ve unfucked everything they’ve done and put systems in place so it can’t be re-fucked again.

Me: Oh good for Karl Rove. He finally recognizes that Ken Paxton’s adultery, corruption, and general incompetence are a bridge too far. (Opens article) Oh nevermind. He’s making a statement by not voting for the GOP candidate for (checks notes) Texas Railroad Commission.

First, welcome to the resistance Ron White. Second, this perfectly encapsulates the fraud that is Joe Rogan: he has no issue being confidently wrong on so many topics. But when a guest pushes back with facts, suddenly he’s like “I’m just a dumb fucking idiot and don’t know enough on this topic.”

One of the maddening things right now is how the MAGAsphere refuses to acknowledge that multiple things can be true. For example, it can be true that 9/11 was horrific *and* it can be true that America’s actions in the aftermath of 9/11 are also bad!

Hey @nytimes.com I’m confused on this clue. The answer to this seems right, but then the other words don’t make sense.
A screenshot of a crossword puzzle app on a smartphone. The timer at the top reads 5:45. Most of the crossword grid is filled in, with answers including MAGI, LIST, OXEN, NASKS, CENSORSHIP, LETLCE, ADERBS, IMAGE, BEET, TOURS, ELLE, ENDAT, ALMA, MAIM, and MAAM. Several squares near the lower-right are circled. A vertical entry near the center is highlighted in blue, with its first square highlighted yellow. At the bottom, the displayed clue is “Threesome.”

Though Ballmer is basically a heel to 95% of sports fandom, the heel turn will become officially official when he makes a big donation to one of Trump’s operations so they’ll drop this.

Was listening to @pablo.show and @lebatardshow.bsky.social discuss Van Natta’s response, and it hit me: DVN moved the goalposts. He reported NBA found no evidence. He’s now pointing to no *direct* evidence. Sure, but there was more than enough *indirect* evidence for a finding he did it.
A bullet point stating that the NBA found no direct evidence that Steve Ballmer funneled money through Aspiration to Kawhi Leonard, noting that the allegation was not a central focus of the report.

I’m not trying to make a joke when I say the stroke really messed him up. Even if you get past his apparent 180 on…well, everything…just listen to him. It sounds like he struggling to string a coherent thought together.

But also, RSN certainly reminded people why they’re widely hated in this. The post itself wasn’t the worst transgression - it was largely worded with the nuance it should have been. But Carrier basically taking a victory lap today is a reminder of what a POS he is.

So now that it’s sadly been confirmed, there’s a conversation about reporting news that should be had at some point (as is the case every time a breaking news event happens), but that’s for another day. Even though I didn’t follow his career closely, Andy Williams was fascinating and cool to me.

Took the Williams post down, because people are illiterate. I say “this is an early report” and “IF it’s true…” and people are getting hung up on the RN link. The fact their owner is a shitty aggregator and human doesn’t change the fact the *original* source appears to be acting in good faith.

On a lighter note: first off, good for all of them. Second, the fact this still happens is wild. It feels like in MLB, 90 percent of umpires are like how Joey Crawford was in basketball: picking fights, making themselves the center of attention.

But also, ESPN is looking *really* bad for trying to carry the Clippers’ water a few weeks ago with the “they found nothing” story.

You gotta feel for the Clippers here. They’re getting hit pretty hard here for something they said was “probably false” when @pablo.show first broke the story. I also look forward to Pablo doing a six-month victory tour on this sports. At least, that’s what I would do

@mlblockout2027.bsky.social when replying to the player rep at the beginning of the game, is there any possible custom reply that they’ll take favorably? I’ve had them praise my opening statement only to bash me the next day. And no matter how I reply they complain I’m withholding details.

I’ve decided to start adding weird clauses into the CBA on @mlblockout2027.bsky.social The first one requires @katienolan.bsky.social to call one game for each team while high and a playoff game called by Dan Soder as MAGA Andre the Giant. The players will warm up to the idea.
