Can we stop calling them "prediction markets" and call them what they are, which is betting/gambling platforms? My teeth itch every time someone says they're "trading" on one of those things. Betting. What you're doing is called betting or gambling, Kevin.

He's so close

Lord I see what Brazil and Serbia have and I want it for myself

I hope folks are marveling at the repairs to Tropicana Field and thinking “Kudos to the City of St. Pete for getting this done so quickly. This is why we need capable local budgets and why I’ll vote No on Amendment 3” www.wusf.org/sports/2025-...

Indy and I feel the same way about fascists. Get out and vote.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

More than 1,000 people have been killed or wounded in K-12 school shootings since January of Trump’s first term. There have been zero surgeries of any kind on children in a school building. You can’t give an aspirin to a child at school without parent’s consent.

Murderbot: Great, we're fully funded, now let me get back watching my shows

Your occasional reminder that polls don't mean shit, you have to show up and vote, preferably early and in person if you can

I would love, absolutely love, at least one prominent contender for the Dem POTUS nomination in 2028 to start threatening this now. "Trump is right that lying on immigration forms is a serious offense. Here are the people my DOJ will investigate on Day 1: Musk, Melania, etc." Put fear in them NOW.

When -- not if, when -- Republicans respond to their losses this fall by crying about "voter fraud" and demanding Congress or the courts review the results, we have good lawyers and elected officials ready to push back. But the rest of us need to take a page from 2000 and mock them as sore losers.

Prepare for the jump to hyperspace! The Kyberpunks' new 25-track album Take Flight blasts onto Bandcamp and all major streaming services Friday, October 23rd, but you can hear the lead single "Boska! Boska!" right now! Let's goooo!

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

I think it is crucial for the health of the Democratic party that the entire consultant class from previous administrations, including and especially Clinton, be told to go home and stop bothering people. They are wrong about everything and have been holding the party back for decades.

Everywhere Eric Schmitt looks, he should see people wearing Hawkeye merch.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Instead of saying "the Kennedy Center board decided to close" we should note that "a group of Trump appointees including Laura Ingraham and Dan Scavino decided to shut it down"

Here, let me help. The premise is: “Let them be Muppets and give them Muppets-level guests.”

REACHER: I need help with my iPhone SUPPORT: regular iPhone or duo? REACHER: how can I tell SUPPORT: if it folds it’s the duo *extremely loud crunching noise* REACHER: it’s the duo

How can anyone choose to get pregnant when there's a chance the embryo implants in the wrong spot--something you can't control, influence, or prevent--and then you get to die a horrible, miserable, inescapable death?

Half a century on, Jim Henson’s fuzzy felt friends are as influential as Monty Python and the Beatles. It’s been a wild journey of nightclubbing, light operas, duetting with Debbie Harry and tying John Cleese to a chair

“How will we ever replace them?” FUND. THE. ARTS.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

Okay. Here's the deal. We have lost... pretty much the unanimous moral foundation of our nation. The imperative now. The only way forward. Is to be the kind of person Dolly would have been proud of.

I wonder if there's ever been a political movement before that claimed that immigrants were all carriers of diseases and therefore needed to be removed from society? Eh, it was probably a really positive movement, not one associated with evil in any way

FLIP IN FLORIDA: The Democratic-backed slate has flipped the school board of Sarasota County. This is a county of 400K that went for Trump by 18%. It's also where Bridget Ziegler has been on the school board. Dem-backed candidates just flipped 2 seats, adding to the 2 they already had (out of 5).

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
