Importantly, pro-life groups and activists did not tell people not to vote for Republicans or hope that Democrats win in close races when Republicans hedged on abortion. They all played good foot soldiers and didn't claim they (or "dead babies") were being "thrown under the bus."

Not that it's the point of this to inform but none of these people really know how elections work

see also gavin, it really isn't going to happen

Kalshi has Lula at ~100%. The mad lad did it.

The World Series starts today. The AL's best team vs the NL's best team. Two fanbases that have never won before. The style of play everyone claims they are desperate to see. This is going to rock.

Genuinely struggling to comprehend this level of anti-social behavior

Like, I wish just once someone would spell out the mechanics of how this works. Are they hiding the surgical theaters in the teacher's lounge? Is the school nurse handing out hormone therapy to anyone that asks for it?

They shouldn’t release Discourse Movies in October, there’s just too much going on. If you’re a parent especially there’s no way to carve out 3 hours in a theater on short notice.

fuck i just realized my wife has never disavowed the muslim brotherhood

This is like more than wrong. Wrong is not strong enough. The wrongiest sports take you could possibly have. bsky.app/profile/aaro...

#1 seed 103 wins vs #1 seed 98 wins with a fanbase guaranteed their first ring ever baseball is, indeed, the best.

Extremely toxic when football media holds up guys playing through major injuries or illnesses as alpha warriors or whatever. I guess that's football though.

This version of the Cowboys feels like season eight of a show that should have ended after season five

It is an image from Twin Peaks the Return (legacy sequel series for Twin Peaks). The image is from an alternate reality/space in which some characters are different forms. I think this one is a character played by David Bowie (very briefly) that became a teapot.

The Trump Administration has stressed that she is only in the job on an interim basis, but I feel like Other Mommy From The Film "Other Mommy" has all the tools to become a very good White House Press Secretary.

Gonna stay up for the 9th, not often a team that hasn’t made it to the World Series since I was an infant has a chance of getting back there. Don’t let me down, Milwaukee!

How...uh...new to the planet do you have to be to think that books are harder to find than they used to be?

I have to say, I don't get Adam Sandler at all. I don't understand what makes him funny to people. I laugh very easily, but I don't laugh at him. (2001)

I just finished reading The Ox-Bow Incident, a short, extremely bleak western that won the fiction Pulitzer in 1940. If you are looking for a piece of work that shows how deep the roots of American mob mentality and our taste for authoritarianism go, I don't think you could do much better. >

Consumers are *really* bad at expressing their economic well-being, it's basically just whatever pump prices are. Which is why maximizing EV share of the vehicle fleet is so important for breaking the carbon political economy in the US. Any other solution is doomed.

NFC East winless in a week where two of its teams were playing each other

David Brooks is like Dead and Co. It's nice he's still doing it, and the stuff even sounds like it always did, but even his fans know he's irelevant.

I posted a joke the other day about how my kid wanted a Mickey song that didn't exist, and a bunch of people were like "just AI to make it." I understand needing to please a toddler, but man--that's just not how I want him to think about music at all. It's not a vending machine.

Two massive goal line stands by the Eagles today. Not sure what Liam Coen is thinking on 4th and Goal from the 5. With the Eagles unable to move the ball all in the second half, kick that.

He doesn't believe this nonsense. I said it on the show this week -- the less you consume ESPN poison in its many forms, the happier you will be. (I worked there 8 years, it is very different now.) You'll be amazed how much better your experience with sports is if you excise ESPN where you can.

Trump in the Oval, alone, seeing this quote. He rubs his forehead. He goes to the window, stares out over the great city. Has he, in fact, betrayed the legacy of his late friend? The thought is too horrible to contemplate. "Heavy is the head," he thinks, quoting Henry IV Part II, his favorite play.

You cannot possibly look at Sissy Spacek’s performance in Carrie and not be wowed by the ways in which that movie gets you to care about her, to root for her, and to imagine against all reason that it might work out for her. If you don’t get that, you have simply lost the plot.

The Cowboys traded Micah Parsons in August of 2025. In the 22 games they've played since, their defense ranks: 32nd in EPA per drive 32nd in success rate 32nd in explosive play rate allowed 31st in rushing success rate

Midterm elections demographic/geographic thoughts: -young/Hispanic voters swinging blue the most -Bush/McCain/Romney states swinging blue -Romney/Hillary places still trending blue -Dem trifecta states not swinging much, weighed down by unpopular incumbents/party brands

The Cowboys have basically had 20 years of excellent quarterback play from one guy who went undrafted and another who they took with a 4th rounder and in return they have FOUR playoff wins to show for it

The Bucs throwing a meaningless screen to Godwin on the final play of the first half two years after he suffered a season-ending ankle injury on targets in garbage time...

This is the thing. If AI is supposed to save you time for the things that Really Matter, and reading a book to your baby is not something that Really Matters, then what are you doing? These guys really just want AI to live their lives while they grind Kalshi and Polymarket all day every day.

not a comment on anyone's looks fwiw...a comment on somebody standing up like it is a new activity for them

you know the onion was funnier when they tried to be funny

I hate post-credits scenes. It's not Avengers Initiative o'clock anymore, and I'm not a little child who needs a happy meal toy about the next movie/season at the end of the credits. Put scenes in the goddam thing the scenes are supposed to be in

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them

We really need to stop treating Chait as serious. He's a lagger on 50% of what he writes. He's nuts on the other 50%.

Multiple plays in this game where the Rams bring a blitz, Jalen Hurts escapes it, and somehow no one is open for him to throw to ... leading to throwaways. How is no one open if the Rams are bringing extra defenders?
