when critics of bari weiss say that she is not a journalist, we mean that literally. she does not respect or even appear to understand the values of the profession. everything for her is propaganda. www.semafor.com/article/10/1...

Relatedly: in retrospect one of the dumber bits of political ZIRP that shows how unserious all the discourse was during Obama and Trump 1 was people sneering at the army, cops, CIA, etc making generic “love is love, diversity is good” type statements because they were ‘inauthentic’ or some shit.

Eh I think it’s a pretty accurate mirror for how much of society thinks about violence and SA against women

I wonder why country fans are largely afraid of cultures that don't look or sound like they do...

I PRed my mile a week and a half ago, and by PRed I mean "I ran the fastest mile of my entire life." the trick of adult athleticism is to have been an unathletic child and teen.

Unpopular opinion: When someone is factually wrong about something important—eg vaccination—telling them that they’re wrong is treating them with respect. The condescending thing to do is indulge them, act like they have a point, as if the thing you know to be wrong might be at least somewhat right.

Hey, fellas, before you write that white hot take about how rape is such a tricky thing and, I mean, who can really say what happened and, you know, maybe we should not be too judgmental, I'd like to remind you that instead you can simply shut the fuck up.

let this be a lesson to deal with your feelings of gender anxiety and masculine inadequacy with a hobby or therapy or something and not a high stakes senate election

Reminder that "real Maine guy" was recruited by two consultants who were not from Maine

unfuckingreal

Cabo Verde! Never say die!

I want a Tshirt of that Cabo Verde flag and refuse to lose slogan What an inspiring performance they've given this world cup

Your two options in American politics are the "let's raise taxes and give rural America subsidies" party and the "let's cut taxes and give it all to billionaires" party. I think it would be neat if there were a "raise taxes and invest in urban areas" option!

TL,DR: Not good that only 5 justices thought Trump’s EO facially unconstitutional. Here as in so many other places, Trump has moved the Overton window.

this is such a weird thing to describe as the American Dream especially in the age of the HOA

Franz is out. Can duren also be out. He's probably more of a benefit to Orlando than Franz #pistons

Hope pistons keeps Levert out there, he's been solid the last few minutes

Atlanta says No Kings! Look at the size of this March in a 2024 Red State

What an ending in this Michigan vs Wisconsin game

U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops files a SCOTUS amicus against Trump's bid to end birthright citizenship They call Trump's order "immoral" and urge the justices to "protect God-given human dignity" by finding it unconstitutional 👀

Maybe pundits should spend more time in densely packed, left leaning urban areas where the "real Americans" live

The print version of @theonion.com is worth every dime.

Thousands of people at Atlanta No Kings rally. 🇺🇸

"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life," Pope Leo said. "And someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

% of US men under 30 who say legal sports betting is a *bad thing* for society 22% in 2022 47% in 2025 No other demographic group has seen a bigger increase.

Taunting is such a silly penalty to call in professional sports

I interrupt your Micah Parsons discussions for this Great Moment in NFL Pettiness. In Week 15 of 1989, the Bengals tried an onside kick while leading the Houston Oilers 61-7 with 21 seconds left. Sam Wyche did not like Jerry Glanville. This has been Great Moments in NFL Pettiness.

Teslaa looks like a tight ends out there

As I detailed in WHITE FLIGHT, segregationists in Atlanta absolutely loved public services -- buses and trolleys, parks and pools, golf courses and tennis courts, etc. -- right until they were forced to desegregate and "stolen" from them. They abandoned them and built up private alternatives.

The fact people care about a "client list" from Jeffrey Epstein rather than restitution for his victims shows conspiracy theorists never about justice for these girls. They cared about weaponizing his horrific actions to "expose" their enemies.

If you’re spending one fucking second wringing your hands about Joe Biden’s age while a new set of arsonists are burning the entire nation down, please go touch all the grass

A literal miracle - saving this beautiful baby's life with a miraculous procedure built on decades of federal investments in scientific research. Think of how many more we could save. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/h...

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

Good morning! I am in an office tower in midtown Atlanta where the marta board and senior leadership is having a "retreat". They will be discussing the draft operating and capital budgets for the first time, and also receive briefings on federal grants. Follow me and @thexylom.com for more updates:

@dataandpolitics.net I just read this article you wrote and thank you for writing in such heartfelt ways about the way the city I moved to almost a decade ago is changing. I also wanted to say just how sorry I am for your loss www.dataandpolitics.net/the-high-cos...

Harris got hit in the face and started taking over #nbasky

The Brunson flop show started early

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism. From Around the Horn:

Don’t torch Teslas, don’t yell at officials in unofficial places (restaurants, airports, homes, etc), be civil — any stance along those lines is an appeal to democracy and rule of law. That social contract is broken. No one’s immune from the consequences. Not an endorsement. A what-did-you-expect.

Housing really is a ‘decide if you want to win’ issue for the Democratic Party.

This is our country now. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

The US greatly outpaced the world economy under Biden and is lagging the world economy under Trump. The media lied to voters and told them that the opposite was true and would be true if they elected Trump. Trump crash economy, hail to the thief.

Tanking a 10+ year gaining economy in only 6 weeks has to be a record for any President

Exactly. Voters and media typically give presidents too much credit/blame for the economy. A lot is out of their control. But this time the economic problems are clearly related to choices the president made: attacking rule of law, undercutting confidence, and most directly, tariffs on allies.
