I like sports, computer nerd stuff and doing the opposite of what people tell me. Go Tigers. Go Golden Grizzlies. Go Broncos. Go Lions. Go PIstons.

JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

Talarico: "I oppose trans athletes playing in girls' sports if it endangers safety or fairness"

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

Protester: This is nuts. What the fuck is going on, dude? This is insane. They tell you it's immigrants, only immigrants. It's fucking anybody. I have friends that got detained and all they were doing was fucking driving home from work. What the fuck?

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

How about a press conference made up of Democratic leadership near the White House with the demolished East Wing in the background, talking about the government shutdown and Trump's warped priorities and demolition of public goods, including not just the East Wing but health care and so much else?

The stoked Tigers dugout juxtaposed with absolute stunned shock among Mariners fans. Postseason baseball at its best.

Kerry Carpenter, who has a career .335 slug vs. lefties, just hit the go-ahead homer off Gabe Speier

like, i don't really know how to adequately express the anger that i feel watching this video. not showing your face, lazily teargassing random people on a neighborhood street without getting out of your car - the image says more about these goons than i could articulate bsky.app/profile/clan...

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

meanwhile costco was all “DEI is good and we’re keeping it, fuck you” and they’re now basically printing money

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

Every single word spent dishonestly attacking Zohran is a word not spent attacking Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, which Republicans are trying to pass as we speak. Jeffries is failing to meet the moment.

The US government officially stopped bothering to avoid civilian casualties earlier this month:

Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social

This jibes with contemporary reporting that the raids hit several residential buildings, in each case killing about 15 people and wounding more. Maybe a little more of the conversation should be about how cavalier we apparently are about bombing civilian homes? www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/...

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

If every Senate Democrat said, "we won't let Musk and Trump do what they're doing to famers, to social security, to cancer research and to every American's health without a hell of a fight" and just repeated that, they'd be shocked by how much of America would be on their side.

“.. We’re just in such a state of shock. We just don’t really even know how to respond,” Gilkerson said. “Everyone thinks all farmers voted for this, but we did not vote for this.” @nbcnews.com 🚜 www.nbcnews.com/politics/eco...

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants." In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

Slotkin has been a HUGE disappointment

Bullshit answer: This one. Good answer: "Federal government employment was already at its lowest level in years." Better answer: "Because we're not fucking insane." Best answer: "Fuck off with that bullshit question."

Welker to Slotkin: "Democrats were in charge for four years. You were in Congress at the time. Why didn't Democrats do more to cut government spending when they were in charge?"
