Godammit! I’ve been listening to This American Life for what, 20 years? Never knew what anybody on the show looked like. Just saw a short-form video with Ira Glass. And he looks just fine, handsome even, BUT NOTHING LIKE I PICTURED HIM FOR 20 YEARS!! Is there a German word this type of schaden?

Still pissed Markey decided he had to serve until he’s 86 years old so Pressley graciously stepped out of the way.

63 years since the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. We're still marching, advocating, & legislating to build a more just America. Reflecting on the 2020 march and the words of Coretta Scott King: "Freedom is never really won, you earn and win it in every generation."

Tulsi fucken Gabbard, the somewhat capable ice cream scoop in a drawer full of dull knives, had it right.

Who could have predicted that trying to do 'Venezuela' in Iran might end poorly? www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

A very common DC tourist reaction to the White House is "oh, it's smaller than I thought." And damn right it is, as it should be.

Honestly surprised it’s taken this long for ICE to come up against MLB. I’d wager there’s a bunch of sketchy immigration statuses due to overzealous scouts and greedy agents

Re: the Mr. Potato Head (MPH) discourse Does anyone else remember when MPH was a bring-your-own-potato thing? Like the “toy” was just a box of eyes, noses, arms, legs, etc and you were expected to rummage in your own cupboard for a suitable potato in which to stick those items Did I dream this?

How is Michigan and Wisconsin kicking our ass on having a stable of young progressives to vote for? It’s Massachusetts! We should be leading the way! (This is a rhetorical question. I’m well aware of machine politics and how we got here)

Young voters in Massachusetts are breaking for Markey 53-22 according to new @umassamherst.bsky.social poll out today. www.umass.edu/news/article...

The drama around which WNBA players have situationships (never mind full-on partnerships) with teammates/coaches/opposing players cannot be under-emphasized. If the male leagues want to keep up they should encourage this.

Given the church’s history of child abuse (sexual and otherwise), not sure a Catholic bishop should be admiring a tribe who “rip[s] a young person from the comfort of his home during the night”

FWIW “REACH18” was call sign used for the plane Trump was actually on.

Yeah, I’m curious about what verbal callsigns they used. But I don’t know how to access European ATC transmissions, and in any case most public databases usually delete after a week or so.

Wait ‘til she hears about the 6th largest power company in the US. With a service area that includes 7 providing electricity to 10 million people. It’s been around for almost 100 years and yet capitalism is also still here.

Stop minimizing the legitimate concerns of voters. The DSA wants gov’t owned energy & transportation & to destroy capitalism. When people tell you who they are believe them. It’s not just healthcare & science & unity. www.dsausa.org/about-us/wha...
