It’s amazing how quickly this asshole will sell out allies, principles, and any sort of morality in a desperate attempt to maintain power. He’d burn down the country if he could keep all the ashes.

When you look up “aggressively stupid“ in the dictionary:

Well, this is going to piss off haters in both camps. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/s... Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark celebrate their ‘chemistry’ as USA advance to Fiba World Cup semis

Odd way to write "War Crimes." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s... ‘Guilt by association’: why seven international aid workers were killed in Israeli airstrike

Perhaps the least surprising headline ever. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... RFK Jr lied in Senate confirmation hearings, newly revealed documents indicate

Absolute ghouls. Stealing money from programs designed to help poor children to fund your party’s hateful agendas.

It’s almost as if electing a child rapist wasn’t the best choice.

What this jackass has done to the people’s house is criminal.

Great thread going through many of the problems with this hit piece in the Atlantic by Tyler Austin Harper (who has made something of a career writing pieces that as an academic he would most likely not give passing grades to).

Spelling bee is not happy with me.

“I loved Lindsey beyond words and if I do decide to run it will not be for self ambition it will be to carry on Lindsey’s legacy and to help the people of SC.” She can’t do both, so which is it? How a Grieving Trump Decided to Back Lindsey Graham’s Sister for Senate www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/u...

It’s somewhat amazing that the @washingtonpost.com would publish anything by clueless idiot Megan McArdle accusing someone else of cluelessness.

We live in the dumbest timeline.

So we have this important game in the World Cup and @foxsports.com.web.brid.gy decides to use two idiotic US announcers who are essentially ruining the experience.

@politico.com not really trying to be taken seriously, are you? apple.news/AsOIgCa9ASN6...

@washingtonpost.com do you want to know yet another reason you are shedding subscribers?

90 years ago Langston Hughes’s poem “Let America Be America Again” was published in the July 1936 issue of Esquire. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/147907...

Nasty hateful shit I'd expect more from the US than from the UK. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Found one of my old ticket stubs in a book I haven’t looked at in many years…

West Ham got jobbed today.

I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me if Bluesky has a way to filter batshit crazy conspiracy theorists because I don’t tolerate illogical assertions very well from either the left or the right.

www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-21... You have to wonder who these 35% of people are and what they could possibly be approving of.

At the College Language Association’s 84th annual conference in Jackson, MS, the Langston Hughes Society held a panel to celebrate Randal Jelks’s new book, My America: Langston Hughes on Democracy. Pictured: LHS founding member and past president Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper and Randal Jelks.

Never owned an album by Counting Crows, but when I hear “Mr Jones” I’m transported to my first year of grad school.

People losing jobs, Dow rises…all you really need to know about the ethics of finance capital.

How many times can the actual Speaker of the House, the third in the line of succession, claim he has no idea what’s happening in this country?

I’m no fan of Chelsea, but it’s interesting to see what Garnacho can do when he’s on a team that knows what it’s doing.

Admittedly, I didn’t pay much attention when past presidents were having the weekly televised adulation meetings, but were they always this sycophantic?

Michael Oliver finally pulled out a yellow card. I thought he’d left them at home.

No wonder China was so willing to agree on the TikTok sale…

Not excited by the Isak signing because I question the professionalism and commitment of a player who refuses to play when he’s unhappy.

The announcers on Peacock have been up Bruno Fernandes’s jock all game, excusing every foul and talking him up. Now that he actually made a penalty they’ll be insufferable

“Giants.” Someone needs to tell CBS it isn’t 2013 anymore.

Straight out of the terrorist playbook: bomb civilians and then bomb the first responders.

I know it’s early going, and I hope West Ham pull out of the bottom three, but the relegation field looks pretty sweet right now.

Here’s Trump explaining how he was manipulated by Putin. And he still doesn’t know he was bamboozled.

The “how” of this article should begin with the simple acknowledgement that one of these two is a blustery ignoramus sliding swiftly into dementia. www.ft.com/content/2866...

The whole goddamn world is enthralled by the nonsensical ramblings of an old paedophile with delusions of grandeur and blatant dementia. When the history books are written on this period, Christ it’ll be embarrassing to have lived through it, that’s if we live.

The District showing up.

Looking for all those “don’t tread on me” folks as Trump deploys the National Guard in DC and tries to take over DC MPD. Actually, I’m not looking for them; I know where those bootlickers are.

I spent the weekend in DC. It was so dangerous that people were taking shelter at sidewalk cafes ordering brunch. Safety in numbers, I suppose.

“The papers were bad reading. Everything was going very badly everywhere. I sat back in the corner with a heavy mug of dark beer and an opened glazed-paper package of pretzels and ate the pretzels for the salty flavor and the good way they made the beer taste and read about disaster.” -E. Hemingway

That Germany v Spain match left me thinking both Italy and England played better, more cohesively. England looking good to repeat. #Euro2025
