So CBS and others invested in a pro trump audience that won’t arrive, alienating their actual audience, and trump propagandists are losing audience bc people are souring on Trump. Also helps explain the increased racist shrieking as they try to farm engagement www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

Thanks to @tonyreast.bsky.social's thorough off-season reports, I already knew these 2 items were simple formalities and won't be a hindrance to any of the Pacers potential plans for the off-season.

The Indiana Pacers plan to exercise the $2.80 million team option on Micah Potter, which is fully non-guaranteed for the 2026-27 season and have extended a two-way qualifying offer to Jalen Slawson, league sources told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social.

This is a blatant lie from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Avila Chevalier's 13th district is one of poorest in NY, with median income of $52,401, lower than the median income in Jeffries' own district and 2nd to poorest in whole NY www.congress.gov/crs-product/...

Hakeem Jeffries downplays significance of the New York elections, saying they were "higher income" districts that had "outsized focus on issues connected to the Middle East."

Hold on, I could've sworn that draft's top 3 picks went Shaq, Laettner, Zo. I feel like my life has been a lie.

I missed the story about how our necrotic, rapidly decomposing husk of a president rode his fucking limo into the reflecting pool so he could "inspect" it from the back seat.

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

Random question. If you could reset an athlete back to their prime to compete in their sport now, who would you choose? Reviving athletes who have died is on the table too.

The insurrectionist pedophile in question is Andrew Paul Johnson and it is public record that he tried to silence his victim(s) with promises of Trump millions for J6.

npr.orgA Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuseSince receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

VAN HOLLEN: An individual who was pardoned by Trump went on to molest 2 children, & he tried to buy their silence by saying he would give them funds from your slush fund. Can you commit to not making that person eligible for a payout? BLANCHE: You're obviously lying V: I am reporting what he said

This is simply bonkers. The White House is in active discussions with DOJ about settling Trump's lawsuit against the IRS in his favor, *precisely because* a judge might soon throw it out. WH apparently wants DOJ to agree to "settle" the lawsuit *before* that happens. Utter insanity.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Is it legal for Trump to order a government agency to hand him a huge pile of taxpayer money? Note that the White House is directly discussing this with DOJ!

A look at the future and the Lakers "building" around Luka...

The Athletic@theathletic.com

According to team and league sources, the Lakers running it back with a mostly similar roster isn’t a palatable option. They must build around Luka Dončić. So what does that mean for LeBron James and Austin Reaves? Free to read: www.nytimes.com/athletic/727...

... Which will inevitably lead to Luka requesting a trade where he will land with another team who won't win because he's a spoiled man child who refuses to play defense.

History teaches us one constant truth about institutional racism and voter suppression in the former confederacy: The only way to defeat it is by force, and as soon as that force is withdrawn or allowed to dissipate they'll bring it right back.

That's playoff basketball baby!

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

“Fully complied with 25%” or, in other words, “didn’t comply with 75%.” Imagine if you tried to tell a judge that you “fully paid 25% of your taxes.”
