It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

I'm not sure I'd have Abdul cook my hamburger. Because he burned this guy pretty bad.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

There are new and specific numbers in this story, so it’s worth reading. I continue to resent the lack of credit to Nick Schwellenbach at @pogo.org, Dan Friedman at @motherjones.com, and me, who have previously reported every other aspect of this story, including that the sale prices were very high.

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.

We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.

In so many ways, this Red Sox season has been a reminder of Morgan Magic - and one of the most beloved managers in Red Sox history. What an extraordinary baseball life he lived. May his memory be a blessing. Some of his former players on his passing:

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.

I know they're all gaslighting liars, but it's remarkable how thoroughly the "cancel culture" myth redefined "censorship" to mean "someone using their free speech to criticize me." Meanwhile, actual censorship is just fine for all these people.

I wonder why 90 days. Couldn’t be because the midterms are in… 74 days, right? Right? Apparently communist price controls are fine when you’re trying to get votes. Who knew?

Company: We want team players! Also Company at end of the year: Please tell us every little thing you did to improve the team so we know your value. Team players don't keep score of who does what man.

The president is refusing to spend taxpayer money assisting Americans suffering from natural disasters solely because their states didn't vote for him. I know there are a thousand scandals at the moment, but this one deserves some more oxygen at every level.

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

Is this just business as usual in politics? No. Approval rates of federal disaster aid requests were about the same regardless of the state and did not vary much with the party of the President. This graph powerfully conveys the scale of the partisan discrimination now.
