The chassis is bent. Shoulda been totaled after the first crash.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social great job on NPR broadcast today; Nina Kim is very good, though, on behalf of the audience, it’d’ve been good to cut off that one guy much earlier and get a question-we’re here to listen to the guest/expert, first and foremost.

C’mon three!

“The Gelded Era,” soon, maybe?

fwiw @malika_andrews is a star at the desk on Wimbledon coverage. Excellent work with Andy Roddick

So @nbcnews.com your national newscast has devolved into the breathless replay of a scroll of titillating social media video? You spent 90 seconds on shock video of a wildfire in Utah yet gave zero details about where the fire was, or is headed, or the upcoming weather? Do better.

“MASSIVE Voter Turnout”

Hegseth is “a vacuous mishmash of hormones and neurotransmitters.”

“Well, if you don’t own a boat, man, I don’t know what to tell ya”

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

@schumer.senate.gov : The only place where running up an impeachment effort hinders the mid-terms is in your obsolete mental model of political strategy. Make Congress GOP vote & whip them with it. Americans are already there, pal. You gotta get onboard. Don’t reinforce your reputation as a fossil.

@emollick.bsky.social will Mythos (or later) be able to hack cryptocurrencies?

The authors of the Constitution wholly relied on the assumption of good-faith, rational actors in national office, especially POTUS, SCOTUS, and Congressional leadership. That assumption has now failed. No better argument for putting “originalism” on the ash-heap.

ToddlerDon play-acting at paying TSA:

“She said ‘I don't care what you do for a living.’ She said ‘I don't care what kind of car you drive.’ ‘All I want to know right now is what you believe in And what it means to you to be alive.’” -Don Henley

@crow.house.gov Rep. Jason Crow crushing it on air just now. Speaking truth, with knowledge and wisdom, to power lacking either. 🙏🏼 Kudos to @anacabrera.bsky.social for letting him off leash, less is almost always more. Well done.

“…a bulldozer for bigger interests.”

War, Inc. @johncusack.bsky.social

Stunningly incompetent, shockingly ignorant, staggeringly immoral, shamefully unethical, surprisingly transparent.

Re_the classic story: a young revolutionary politics scholar was sipping his cappuccino at a table on the promenade when suddenly throngs of people ran by down the street. He jumped up, his friend ask,s “where are you going?” He says, “to find out where they are going, so I can lead them!”

This is some high-caliber Potemkin security verisimilitude right here:

“Will the real Fat Shady please stand up, please stand up”

Name a film you would call PERFECT. Any genre. #filmsky

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Either djt goes down like a bag of corrupt shit or the country does.

Short, powerful observation: “plantation logic” ⬇️

Slightly diminish a band: Deep Mauve

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Over/under on when JB tells us that we’re required to “house soldiers in our private homes?” constitution.congress.gov/constitution...

Their only path forward (cough “Noem”) is to increase the violence (cough “Miller” cough) to prove their ‘righteousness’ (cough cough “Trump”)

One of two things must be true: Either Noem had, or had not, asked to see the video before unspooling her agitprop. Not sure which is worse, but doesn’t matter. Either is case-dispositive of her astonishing, willful evil.
