there might be feelings better than having your kid snuggle up asleep on you but there is no feeling like it. I am a simple ape and probably you are too

I am 100% in favor of people who don't want kids not having kids, but watching your kids play on the beach on a day where all your responsibilities are asleep is a peak human experience of a type you will struggle to get elsewhere.

It is not just that people need baseball, it is the type of baseball being played. The Brewers are making plans and executing them. They aren’t deterred by assaults or mistakes. They keep their eyes on the ball. They get in their opponents’ heads and make them crack. You might call it metaphor.

Sir, our democracy is under attack. Please focus. Thank you.

Don't tell me about the number of GOP politicians that denounce this. Because this is the same exact energy that he came into office on in 2016. Ride with your boy! Don't switch sides now! You loved this abuser energy when diesel was $2 a gallon and you could buy fertilizer.

Trump on what he told Vivek Ramaswamy about his vile ad: "I told him, Leave it up! And look upstairs and say, Thank you God very much, I appreciate it!"

Really hope someone asks David Brooks what he thinks about this ad

Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad. "This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

There are very few phrases than make me want to punch someone more than “heritage American”. It’s not only racist, it’s stolen valor.

In this vein I find it helpful to remember Elizabeth Anderson's argument that the point of education is not to reward merit, but to create it.

jamelle@jamellebouie.net

the other thing is that conservatives resolutely do not see the purpose of education as providing social mobility but as reifying and deepening existing inequalities of status. they are as hostile to low income students getting admission to elite institutions as they are black ones.

My God, he really is Milo Minderbinder, isn't he?

Elon Musk has said he will give every child in America a stake in SpaceX, his $2 trillion aerospace and artificial intelligence company, as tech firms face intensifying scrutiny over their impact on society. https://cnn.it/4yWTjTJ

It’s incredible what now happens in plain sight while the media fails to hold anyone accountable. We’ve reached the point where the satire is funny until you remember it’s describing reality.

I've been riding motorcycles since age 10 and it would take me a solid week to get thru this course on a bagger.

I know a lot of folks get on Bluesky to talk about the things that give them life and want to avoid politics. But, oh man, you folks got to watch this clip. I can't remember any politician giving an answer this good when faced with a disingenuous question like this.

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

Election interference is supposedly a crime.🤷🏿‍♂️ But in a racist enough country, no one even pretends that there's a real possibility that anyone will face any accountability for a conspiracy to intimidate Black voters in Detroit and steal their right to democracy.

Leaked audio of Mike Rogers calling on Republicans to use off-duty police officers to intimidate voters in Detroit in an attempt to manipulate the Michigan Senate race:

Apparently the hot new rationalization in pissy right-wing creator circles as to why they're not as financially or culturally successful as they ought to be is that their IQs are all 30 points too high for the normies to understand their creations, and, oh, honey, I assure you, that's so not it

once again, you're *supposed* to signal virtue, while also attempting to *possess* it.

Yes, of course McDonald’s posting about National Coming Out Day is “performative.” Nobody thinks Ronald McDonald threw the first brick at Stonewall. Nonetheless, the biggest and most influential institutions in American life performing affirmation of LGBT social and civil equality is a good thing.

one of my favorite things about tiny children is that it does not matter what their race, gender or culture is they all love Garbage Truck equally

I went to a two-year-old’s birthday party today and their parents booked an LA Waste Management trash truck to come park out front and the way these kids RAN to see this thing up close!!! The WM reps also had party favors and coloring books. Lowkey want to book it for my own birthday

When Dems talk about the Ilhan Omar situation, they need to stop using language that implies that Omar might have done anything wrong. Trump is not "investigating" Omar. They are trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting Congressmember by scrutinizing decades old paperwork from when she was a kid

things don’t have to make sense or be pragmatic when you have a wedge - the future is infinite, everything will be okay, after all: you drive a Lancia
