imo, to @minakimes.bsky.social’s point about the laughter in the room being the most jarring part, the issue is those people are adults who are colleagues of Holly Rowe. They absolutely should know better. This is the downstream effect of misogyny being emboldened and celebrated in American culture.
@minakimes.bsky.social is actually in house for this @pablo.show as they get into Aaron Rodgers. Holly Rowe/Arch/Texas "Hate"/A.I and the L.A. Rams? Free flowing episode youtu.be/kkLxhtPfZ2o?...
Ukraine watchers have long known this guy is an unqualified and ignorant clown who sucks shit, but it’s still jarring to see it all laid out from early 2025 to now. kyivindependent.com/exclusive-uk...
Witkoff and Kushner are unqualified, unaccountable, and corrupt clowns. It is pathetic that Witkoff is scared. Ukrainian children have more courage and backbone than this absolute loser.
🇺🇸‼️🇺🇦 Witkoff and Kushner's visit to Kyiv is in question as Witkoff "began to fear" for his safety, - Kyiv Independent. The plans of the US presidential envoys to visit the Ukrainian capital on September 5-6 may change; alternative plans are currently being discussed.

yeah this and also Labor Day is in September in the United States intentionally because Congress & President Taft were attempting to sever the United States labor movement from the global workers movement that celebrates May Day
Coming up on Labor Day, the thing they don't tell you because they don't want you to know, is that all the mattresses are always on sale. Those aren't real special prices. Even if the price is different in a month, tell them you want the old price and they'll still give it to you. You can haggle.
Personally, if I was potus with absolutely horrific approval numbers heading into the midterms, I would not find the one domestic issue that has unified opposition amongst the broad public and come out directly and aggressively supportive of it.
Make no mistake—this is Mike Rogers' position on data centers. He's got up to $2.6 million invested in companies cashing in on the data center boom, all while Michiganders watch their utility bills soar.

I flew to Washington to meet Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s former defense minister, who is in an international tour after being sacked by President Zelenskyy in July. Interview below.

This is objectively true despite what the worst of the right wing slop media would have you believe. It is one of the, increasingly few, unifying policy positions in the United States.
And, Ratcliffe himself has been reported to be pro-Ukraine. Look, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. UKRAINE HAS BROAD SUPPORT in the United States. Regardless of what Trump does, from the general population, they don’t like Russia, they support Ukraine. Democrats & Republicans.
Maximum cynic interpretation: “Please stop helping Iran and in exchange we will ignore it if a Shahed or glide bomb accidentally hits Tallin, Vilnius, or Chișinău.”
When I saw the aircraft this morning, I assumed the US and Russia were exchanging prisoners again. But there's no reason to send the head of the CIA in person for that. Now that we know it's him, I'm out of ideas. Do you have any?

Replying to @mtsw.bsky.social
why did the mainstream media cover the deliberate abandonment of obsolete and decommissioned equipment during the Afghanistan withdrawal as a scandal for the Biden administration yet they do not cover the total destruction of US bases in the gulf by Iran as a scandal for the Trump administration?
Lara Korte, who was just fired from Stars & Stripes, has been covering the relocation of personnel from Bahrain for months and did a great piece today on 1,300 Navy family members displaced from Bahrain who are stuck in limbo given the damage to the Bahrain base. www.stripes.com/branches/nav...
With peace, love, and all due respect to the very good reporter @chrismedlandf1.bsky.social, who you should all follow and read like I do, I do not believe this! racer.com/2026/08/20/t...
Has anyone in the motorsports media written about how the new ownership group of Andretti is actively selling the Los Angeles Lakers while under a serious federal investigation? Delaware Life has been a livery sponsor as recently as this year, seems like a good story for @marshallpruett.bsky.social
