CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

This would be a good time to do a @60minutes.bsky.social report on the reflecting pool saga and the wrongful prosecution of David Hearn. The mid term elections would be over by the time you finish and nobody can accuse you of being political.

I’m happy to write this argument and standard op-ed form for any publication in Michigan.

As opposed to a GOP majority that is hostage to a corrupt narcissistic autocrat who is enriching himself and his family, systematically stripping Congress of its constitutional roles, and defying the courts? Yeah, I'll risk the DSA hostage takers, thanks.

Setting aside how much of his ass he's showing here, this same argument came up a few years ago, too. But the reason the far left didn't block legislation then is that, unlike the far right, the far left believes in governance.

I hope non-journalists can appreciate how embarrassing this is.

This is magnificent work by @martynziegler.bsky.social, which should disqualify Infantino from standing in the 2027 Fifa presidential election.

Hard to devise a better metaphor for the past decade and a half of Premier League football than Man City winning while playing with an extra man.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

Found this monarch butterfly in the pool. Fortunately it was able to recover after staying put and drying off for ~15 minutes

This is excellent. And much better for one of the city's most renowned avenues than simply offering multi-line through traffic.

Is “Sabotaged” the right word here, or is it another example of lazy editing at @nytimes.com ?

One of the most memorable pieces of writing on the grief we share.

Terms of service tend to shift over time, often with little awareness by users (fine print notice). Tech leadership has also revealed patterns of deference to authoritarian leaders over time.

Why can’t they get along and throw lies at each other?

Maybe it was time, but sad to see Gabriel Martinelli go, & I think he deserved better from certain people when it came to his departure. Fans connect with players who they can see love the club, and he was one of those from his very 1st appearance. He leaves as a champion, and he deserved that.

Is this the greatest nutmeg ever?? 🤯 🎥: @denversummitfc.bsky.social

dems would be well served by ditching the ambiguous "affordability" platitudes and just hammering these clowns on corruption, all day every day. That's what they did to Orban in Hungary

On 9/11, US airspace closed, Canada launched Operation Yellow Ribbon. Gander, a town of 10,000, received 38 airliners. Residents immediately sheltered, fed, clothed, and supported stranded passengers for days, providing this hospitality free of charge. interestingengineering.com/culture/oper...

This is the natural evolution of Zuckerberg’s first project, harassing college girls by putting their faces next to each other and having the campus rate who was hotter.

Reading @emptywheel.bsky.social before coffee: tl;dr? 1) Reading plain talk about a careful & meaningful legal document reminds me that knowing your rights could depend on adopting tl;ra: habits (ra=read anyway) in a dr world 2) reading closely & thinking clearly *are also* forms of resistance.

Part 2. Paul Krugman on "Curing U.S. Healthcare". "The second Trump administration and its allies in Congress have taken two actions that will, over time, almost completely undo the expansion of health insurance since the ACA was enacted... How can and should Democrats respond?" 👇👇👇 Stay tuned ...

Part 3. Paul Krugman on "Curing U.S. Healthcare". "[W]e are approaching a point at which ambitious healthcare reform, well beyond simply repairing the damage to Obamacare, will be possible. And Democrats should be prepared to rise to the occasion." It's a wrap! (... for this healthcare series) 👇👇👇

Hey #NY21 Anthony Constantino is using AI videos to show his opponent, Blake Gendebien, saying things HE NEVER SAID. If you cheat on the campaign you're going to grift in Congress.
