Welcome to the most embarrassing unhinged moment of the week in politics -- well, almost, next to orange man's insane tiger videos.

2:14 left and I have panic. It's hard being an #isles fan

I mean, I guess. I'm told it's still 30 minutes to get out of Emerald after a typical game? I haven't had to deal with it yet, my family won't go to that lot. If they push me there I have to give up my seats. A monorail or Airtrain of some sort would have been immensely better.

I just heard about all that was going on with Citifield. It's insane. But it sounds like ultimately they'll have a garage that can accommodate folks? Whereas here, there seems to be no plan beyond pushing us all to Emerald. I would love the LIRR to be able to get us home. It can't. Not well, anyway.

I don't understand the lack of long term planning and I don't understand how anyone in ownership thinks it's ok to treat loyal customers this way. I really don't. I'm increasingly sour on Ledecky and Malkin and the increasing gaggle of owners.

I am sorry but they can't even sell me parking past February so I have a huge quibble with any future plans for this arena.

Also learning that the isles (and ubs I assume) just wholesale eliminated an ada row in the upper bowl -- to make a section for private events. Are they even ada compliant any more? Aren't their insanely priced suites for private events? #isles

It's honestly so crazy to me that we're facing a technological revolution that could displace millions of jobs in the middle of a housing affordability crisis and every day we talk about whether a trans woman is playing sports or if someone has a non-Anglo name.

When do you admit a wannabe dictator is a real dictator? When they lock you up? When they send you to a foreign concentration camp? When your “allies” have all turned against you? When you are sentenced to death for speaking the truth?

"By the end of 2030," reports NYT, the amount of energy used by data centers"is expected to quadruple, eclipsing the power used by all countries in South America and Africa combined." This is extinctionism.

One thing I'm noticing from a lot of people here, and the media reports surrounding the arrest of the Tates, is how many are using the term "child pornography" Children cannot consent and therefore it is not pornography It is Child Sexual Abuse Material or CSAM and it's vital to call it that

If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

Senator Lindsey Graham has died. His death was preceded by the death of his longtime friend and colleague John McCain in 2018, and by Graham's supposed principles shortly after. Known for saying "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed, and we will deserve it," then enthusiastically backing him.

Remember when Lindsey Graham and Donald Trump ran against each other and Trump publicly announced Graham's cellphone number? Remember when Graham tweeted: "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it"? Remember when Graham sucked up to the fascist criminal anyway?

I visited Detroit once for a long weekend in a pre-pandemic February. Got to The Joe before they tore it down (my #isles won, of course). I still dream of the dishes we had at Selden Standard during that trip - got me so hooked on brussel sprouts. It's just a phenomenal place.
