I don't want to set your expectations too high, but I was second team all-league in 2008 robertjlphibbs.com

What's really grotesque about Trump v2 is that most people specialize in one thing. Take RFK. In another admin the antivax guy would just be the antivax guy, yet here he's antivax, racist, and ignorant of history all at once. Trump assembled a team of people extremely talented at hatred

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

You know things are great when one of the biggest companies in the world is basically at record stock prices and offers to lay off 25% of its workforce

This guy should be in jail at the very least for setting us baldies back years if not decades

Miller deserves everything that's coming. He's afraid of state prosecutors because a presidential pardon only covers federal offenses; and beyond prison, there's also future congressional investigations and civil lawsuits. www.rawstory.com/rs-exclusive...

Republicans once again the leaders in Big Loser Energy

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Breaking news: The Justice Department has moved to preemptively block certification of the results of Alaska’s Senate race if Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses his tight race against Democrat Mary Peltola next month.

They killed two of my neighbors and are protecting the murderers. Every Republican asking for my vote should be asked what they will do about this.

Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com

Minnesota law enforcement officials say the federal government is again refusing to share evidence from the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti during Operation Metro Surge.

I think a lot of it is the face. JD Vance looks like one of those Renaissance paintings of the little babies with an old man's face

Eli Friedmann @eligit.bsky.social

Peter Thiel can spend all the money he wants on Vance. 10s of millions. It will never make Vance cool in the way that trump was cool to republican voters. Some things money cannot buy.

Having kids is awesome because I started putting them to bed at 715 tonight and it's now 1035 and one of them is still resisting

College football is so weird now because you hear a guy has transferred 3 times and you expect him to be this grizzled journeyman and then you see his picture and he's still got pimples and a full hairline

Been trying to put my screaming infant to bed for over 2 hours while my Taco Bell grows colder than Arctic winter downstairs and it's still more enjoyable than watching this Seahawks game

This past week's episode of Case File is genuinely one of the sickest things I've ever heard, and that's saying something because I am a sicko for sick things

The toddler played the meanest trick on me by being sick overnight and making sure I never went back to sleep but now being his usual stick of dynamite self in the morning

The most desperate thing about modern apps and websites is the pop-up that only gives "yes!" and "maybe later" as the options. Buddy you can keep asking I guess but I'm smashing that fake no button every damn time

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

@loganjplant.bsky.social Listening to nvc and you couldn't have said better how I feel about fire emblem. I still love the tactical combat but so much of FW seems like a chore. Idk how I will do the other paths after i finish the first one just because it'll all be the same stuff again

Literally every mention of betting detracts from the broadcast. I'm trying to watch baseball. I don't care about kalshi predictions about how many minutes and hours the game will take.

Have we discussed the Astros winning their division at 81-81 and then having the unmitigated audacity to do a bullpen game in Game 1 of the postseason? That's disgusting. A bigger affront to baseball than the trash can thing

I'm sorry but I refuse to believe that a. this guy doesn't know his own zip code, b. that we can safely offload basic information about ourselves like this, or c. that this guy isn't the minor villain of a new Austin Powers movie

Matt Ford@mford.bsky.social

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

damn boxscore looks like he took his kid to work. here, son, just carry the ball into the end zone, these guys won’t touch you

Another funny AI thing tangential to the last post is that Google tied Gmail's promoted ads to its smart features which, are all AI based now so if you turn them off you don't get that annoying Promotions folder in your Gmail anymore. The unprofitable AI business is cannibalizing their main business

2026 is funny because my phone just hard reset because I accidentally activated one of the AI features that I don't want but can't uninstall and that froze the phone until it crashed. Great products we have here

Somewhere Susan Collins is sternly shaking her finger at... Susan Collins

Molly Redden@mtredden.bsky.social

Exclusive: In late 2024, FBI agents were looking at Sen. Susan Collins’ role in a massive illegal bribery scheme alleged by a former federal contractor. Then Trump gutted the FBI and DOJ, leaving no one to carry on the investigation – it’s dead. 🧵

Can't tell if he's too stupid to realize what he's saying or just hopes voters are too stupid to put two and together

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance: "The message is don't give power to the crazy people who started these problems in the first place. If you're frustrated about high prices, you have every reason to be."

It is reprehensible that pushing up on the volume on a muted video in just about every app suddenly turns on the volume of that video. How did we let this happen in modern app design?

Whenever Drew Lock throws I genuinely don't know how he gets it where he's trying to get it but I guess that's why I'm on the couch and he's throwing touchdowns

LLMs won't wipe out humanity by destroying the power grid or taking over the internet. They'll do it by giving us verifiably wrong information that still leads to WW3

public health guy@publichealthguy1.bsky.social

so we just nearly started a war with china (a nuclear state) because of genAI use

Now that the new Fire Emblem is out, one must ask himself: is it worth using his scant free time to chase his dreams or does he simply give himself up to the gods of tactical roleplaying combat?

If only there was a 3 point play in which the Packers could have scored earlier to keep it a one score game during this collapse. Something like a 'field kick' or an 'air goal'? Idk I'm sure they'll think of something
