So the NYT is cutting more people and places out. Sadly this is going on more and more with their shift to the right.
My big news: I've left The Athletic because they wanted me to stop covering the Twins. I refused to give up my dream, so I'm betting on myself and returning to my independent roots. I need your support to make it work. Join me and let's do this together: www.aarongleeman.com/welcome-to-t...

There is absolutely no way anyone in the administration will understand a joke about the French and Indian War. That’s half the joke.🔥🔥🔥
King Charles at State Dinner: “You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French”

I completely agree with this - This is one reason why I don't like A.I. photos with articles - It can be hard to delete the A.I. image and keep that factual article.
Please, for the love of all things holy, if you ever learn that something you posted is fake, delete it. Do not counter with "but it feels true" or "it's an exaggeration but people will know that" or any other garbage. Delete fake images and articles. We need to be able to trust reality.
This is what I've always said. If the Candidates cannot or will not answer a direct question (other than 'Why did you kill your mother') then they should just be dropped. And if they didn't answer the first time then the question should be repeated until they do.
If they can't speak truths under oath at their confirmation hearings, how can they be trusted to administer them in court?
Yah, I just spent a bunch of money on a game I will probably never play, just because I really enjoyed the books... Just earned Bronze badge for the Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG + Unstoppable on @BackerKit! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...

For those who say "The Democrats are in the minority and can't do anything", obviously they can.
Breaking MS NOW: In a major defeat for Mike Johnson, 3 House Republicans bucked their leaders to block legislation that would have restricted Congress' ability to strike down Trump’s tariffs. The final tally was 214-217, with 3 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition.

As I've written before, people don’t trust institutions because institutions aren't doing the job. Democracy rests on three pillars: Verification, Deliberation, Accountability, which can be understood as being substantial, performative, and simulated. demos.co.uk/research/ver...

Europe won't back down over Greenland, if he wants Economic War, that's what he gets.
President Macron will ask the EU to activate its never used before Anti-coercion measure dubbed the "Trade-Bazooka".It's basically Economic Warfare on USA involving bans on US Goods and services, high counter tariffs, Digital market restrictions, sanctions and financial market limits This will hurt

One of @tomtomorrow.bsky.social's most famous strips is the one he did right after the mass shooting in Tucson in 2011, and Sparky makes the grim prediction that the price in human lives to protect limitless access to guns would be paid "over and over again." thismodernworld.com/archives/7617

Mamdani: "I asked Dems, who did you vote for any why? I heard from them again and again -- 'I voted for Trump bc I could afford things that are now out of my reach.' Ultimately when I asked them what it would take to bring them back to the D Party, they said a relentless focus on an economic agenda"
Great article on why I like Bluesky (not written by me) www.techdirt.com/2025/06/20/c...
Best to get this out again now!
If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

We are democratizing art. No longer will you have to pay someone who owns a data center just to generate pictures. With a pencil and notepad that costs less than a dollar, you too can create Artisanal Imagery.
The word around town is that the next big thing is Artisanal Imagery, hand-made visuals that you simply have to own if you don't want to be left behind
