It's a golf course. That's it. I'm a golfer, but I'm not distressed by whether or not a golf course is going to be de-treed, especially one I'll likely never play. The FUCKING ISSUE here is that this orange motherfucker thinks he is bound by ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for ANY WHIM that tickles his fancy.

"So who gives a shit about a golf course? Trump does — enough to lie to a federal judge about it, then call her insane when she noticed. The rest of us should care at least that much." — @lizdye.bsky.social

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

If you're not disgusted by this, you don't actually like college sports. You like pro sports.

So much work by my colleagues went into this. (To be clear I did absolutely none of that work, but saying "so much work by my colleagues went into this" is an old trick that makes people think you must have been really helpful. Keep that one in mind for when you need it)

Pretty much republican economics IYAM

Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.

And thus is the hurdle being faced: I generally agree with the author. The intended audience's general response? "Just put the fries in the bag."

Lots of us are hashing out new plagiarism/AI statements to share with our students. Here’s a draft of the last part of my very earnest one.

Trump: "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body."

it’s kind of ironic that the French government better understands and captures the true aesthetics and ideals of America than the groyper weirdos at the White House posting cringe anti-American MAGAslop

Soccer officiating is more fucking arbitrary than the bullshit we get in basketball these days. It's unbelievable a ref can just get reduce a team's number of players on the field over something so fucking subjective it's impossible to prove it's not corrupt.

Both these headlines are from Texas this month. Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

There's other ways to break his power. They're just taboo to say bluntly.

Elon Musk's incitement of pogroms in Belfast reveals he'll use his immense wealth and influence to foment untold fascist violence in the future. Only a global movement can break his power. New piece from @polphilpod.bsky.social and me. Threading highlights below. 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2119...

Donald Trump inheriting a situation that was suboptimal but honestly fine, deciding to personally intervene, and making everything significantly worse at great taxpayer expense is a perfect synopsis of every single thing he has done as president both times.

Nothing says ‘freedom’ like burning taxpayer money on dirt bikes at the White House for a billionaire’s birthday party. Bread’s expensive, rent’s worse, but sure, let’s fund a midlife crisis with fireworks and motocross. Peak empire decay. America is not a serious country.

Dilemma: new office is much further from the bathroom Dilemma2: I am 56 Proposal: those big plastic bottles Dilemma3: door and side panel in new office are clear glass Proposal2: move plant in front of glass side panel to block Dilemma4: plant is wilted as result of neglect, insufficient coverage
