Dear #USPS , I'm no expert at logistics, but I am pretty sure this is not the most efficient route to sending a package to San Diego

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

Rarely watch baseball these days, but that Brewers catcher has made 2 amazing plays to end the last 2 innings #worldseries

This is a perfect answer, and nails one of the main reasons JD is a POS

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

When JD Vance says Abdul El-Sayed should express "gratitude" for what America has given him, Vance is really saying he's lower on the American hierarchy than "heritage Americans" are. I asked El-Sayed to respond to this point. Here's his answer: newrepublic.com/article/2169...

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Hmmm

BREAKING: CFTC staff have reportedly been told to retract their analysis of suspicious oil trades. They include well-timed bets on oil futures placed shortly before major Trump announcements on the Iran war.

CALIFORNIANS NEED TO SPREAD THIS FAR AND WIDE. Too many voters are low information and will vote yes on all three w/o realizing the latter cancels out the former

I am only ok with this if they are bringing back Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick), since she carried that show

IGN@ign.com

Finn Jones addresses his return as Danny Rand/Iron Fist in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3, calling a second chance with Marvel a "wonderful gift." For more info: https://bit.ly/4yaiVLC #NYCC

I don’t understand why every Dem is not on the TV talking about Guilfoyle this morning. This is the gift to get all of the Trump family grift out there

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Eric Deters: "Kimberly Guilfoyle is a grifter. Kimberly Guilfoyle I have no doubt has done this to more than me. She's doing it right now in Greece. I know Corey Lewandowski did this stuff. I know Kristi Noem did this stuff."

All of the LOLs

Mike Rogers is a corporate sellout who moves back to Michigan every few years to run for office to take another swing at the revolving door of corporate politics.

As a paid subscriber on @allmusic.com for a few years, I feel like they have been really falling off on the New Releases section of the site lately. Less coverage of newly released albums, all new releases list shrunk, Upcoming releases is like weeks behind.

I use the site almost daily, and it's a huge resource. But the main thing I use it for is staying on top of new releases. It used to be the best resource of seeing everything that is coming out. I hope they haven't pivoted away from new release tracking. Or worse, I hope it's not slowly dying.

While I have been a paid subscriber for a few years, I have used the site forever. I am a huge fan and don't want to see it go away.

What is happening in the skies over #SanDiego this am? Tons of military jet sounds… granted, I live a couple miles from Miramar, but it is a lot more than usual

I literally don't understand why they cancelled Blade. The character was once of the best parts of Deadpool vs Wolverine... they should've tried to capture that momentum

IGN@ign.com

Mahershala Ali has thanked Marvel for a year of free physical training, and said his prep time for the now-cancelled Blade helped pay for his new movie instead. https://t.co/69FZdpSZZq

No need for them to go on strike since there’s going to be no diesel fuel by Oct 1 anyway

Snopes@snopes.com

Posts claimed U.S. truck drivers had announced a plan to strike over high fuel costs starting Oct. 1, 2026. Is that true? We found no evidence: www.snopes.com/news/2026/09...

As a public service to the small amount of folks that follow me.... If you're not watching Adults on Hulu, what are you doing with your life? It's probably the funniest show since Veep or Party Down... so just f'n watch it

Yaaasss, so ready for this show to be back!

GUEST ALERT! Comedian and Host @jonlovett.bsky.social and Journalist @juliaioffe.bsky.social join the panel TOMORROW, 9/12 for the Season 5 Premiere of HIGNFY. Tune in Saturday, September 12th at 9pm ET on @cnn.com. Streams the next day on CNN.

This is actually pretty genius, and I hope other media groups take this direction as well. All of these AI images/vids have prompts behind them, and it would be very newsworthy to show what language is used creating them.

Project Salt Box@projectsaltbox.com

Today, we filed a FOIA request with DHS concerning an AI-generated image the @DHSgov X account posted this morning. The image depicts a Transformer facing a South Asian man, over a caption telling "Mr. Singh" to self-deport and get off American roads. We want the prompt.

Hey #tennis BlueSky peeps: I time shifted the Zverev #USOpen match tonight , but getting into 2nd set this match is boring AF. Does it get any better? Pls don’t spoil, a simple keep watching or bail will suffice Thx in advance! Tiafoe/Shelton is gonna be 🔥

This is a great answer. Hegseth should be the 1st to go… but def not the last

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Bash: "You've said Hegseth should be fired. If you are elected, would you support actually impeaching him?" Cait Conley: "Against Pete Hegseth for his failure to protect America? Yes."

In the category of “this cannot be real,” the Trump administration is flying five industrial factories to D.C. to plead for survival funding in an Apprentice knockoff judged by Nicki Minaj and hosted by Dean Cain.

House Republicans failed to muster the necessary votes to back a proposed constitutional amendment that would set membership of SCOTUS at nine, although they did remind everyone that the number of justices is not enshrined in the Constitution and can be amended at any time by statute.

I love that this is becoming the normie Dem position on SCOTUS… Reforming SCOTUS is my #1 issue, and you won’t get my vote/money without it

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Rep. James Clyburn says he supports expanding the Supreme Court: "13 is a pretty good number. A baker's dozen would be a good number to have on the Court."

Fucking fuck Google and their fucking Google Maps…. I’d rather use Mapquest than their bullshit, deleted!

I am convinced that 80%-ish of folks who buy 4-door short bed trucks would be better served by getting a minivan, but are afraid of being seen in a minivan
