Taylor I. Now

ESPN app won’t let you opt out of sports betting notifications, so I opted out of the ESPN app.

Gary Tyler, a quilt artist who spent decades on death row for a crime he didn’t commit, now has his first solo exhibit at the Grand Rapids Art Museum

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception. They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas. Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media. Politics is broken.

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

CBS is MAGA propaganda. The dear leader of MAGA roots for Alabama. That’s a much simpler explanation of why Georgia isn’t ranked #1 than this excuse. www.cbssports.com/college-foot...

I’m genuinely curious if the MAGA elite really believe the bull shit they spew?

Republicans Don’t Know Ball Update: A hockey blogger asked the two Michigan Senate candidates for statements on the Red Wings. Rogers: blah blah Michigan loves the Red Wings El-Sayed: angry rant about how the cheap owners MUST pay Detroit’s young star defenseman octopusthrower.com/what-each-mi...

Being a Falcons fan is hard. The anxiety of being ahead and winning was really unnerving the last few weeks. The anxiety of being ahead and watching it slip from our fingers this week feels more familiar. Less scary yet far worse.

Our Democracy Book Club choice for October, On Tyranny, outlines 20 lessons from the twentieth century on how to spot and combat authoritarianism. Which one most resonates with you? #booksky

This small act is intentional. Normalizing the image of military at ballot boxes.

I note how Christian Nationalists, who think the public execution of Jesus was the most horrific thing humans ever did, are giddy at the prospect of getting to watch a public execution on live streaming—being so “pro-life” and all . . .

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

Can you imagine any other...ah, nevermind. Should be leading news for a week, a month, a day? But, nah, nothing. The President of the United States openly talking about taking out major American cities and the millions that live in them.

You'll NEVER convince me he isnt a foreign asset hellbent on destroying America, enriching himself first.

Are the Atlanta Falcons good? Or did they beat two bad teams?

Atlanta Falcons are having fun tonight.

An important Bijan Robinson fact is that I asked him at his draft what show he was binge watching and he said THE MARVELOUS MS MAISEL. I think of this often.

I love this idea! On Tyranny is such a good, clear, short book to begin with.

I’ve resisted rewatching my old favorites, as too many have been ruined with 2026 glasses. 10 Things I Hate About You holds up. Just as good as it ever was. And I think I created my entire adult persona on Kat.

Thank you. That very much felt like two people who were told what they could and couldn’t say. They knew they were 💯 in the wrong with every word. But like 95% of men, they went along with it anyways.

Bush v Gore was the only decision Justice Sandra Day O’Connor ever regretted. It was the match strike. Citizens United was the fuse. Explosion is imminent.

🧑‍🌾 🐄 “Life on the farm is stressful… the help situation isn’t getting better… why should we keep going?” A dairy farmer who voted for anti-immigrant Trump complains she can’t find workers — then lashes out when the internet calls her out for voting against her own interests.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

Williams out with torn Achilles. Madden curse strikes again.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a "free market" only exists when corporations get to "self-regulate" and do whatever they want. And don't be led to think that the government is "intruding" into the market when it crafts laws to protect the public. The real issue is power — and who has it.

Mike Johnson can't even self-police and self-regulate his masturbating to porn. He needs his son to police him.

If a news organization does not cover this as a clear case of: “president Trump tells story of 9/11 that glorifies himself but has no basis in fact” they are not worth listening to. Yes, I’m talking about you, @nytimes.com

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.

RIP 💕

My household makes decent money. Part way through the year we get another $500/paycheck bump when we stop paying social security. As nice as that is, I do not understand how we get a break whereas people making less money don’t.

Every time a non-white woman in Dem politics delivers a less-than-pitch-perfect line—if they even briefly hesitate while speaking off-the-cuff about a nuanced issue—it becomes a major story about their intelligence, and meanwhile every single Trump appointee talks like this all day long.

Ships traveling between the upper Great Lakes and the Atlantic must pass through Canada’s Welland Canal. The 27-mile canal and all eight of its locks are entirely in Ontario, meaning a strategically important portion of U.S. Great Lakes maritime trade depends on Canadian-controlled infrastructure.

Tim Curry was not the 80-year-old Home Alone 2 cast member we were asking for.

Judge strikes down Texas ban on drag shows, tells people offended by them ‘just don’t go’

While I like the thought behind this, do we really think anyone believes Paxton isn’t a criminal?
