The two winningest teams of the 2020s are the Dodgers (651 wins) and Brewers (595 wins). One already has 3 titles in that span; now, the other gets their shot.

I mean, I went to Pitt for grad school and it's a good school, but I don't think it's an elite university.

Idk where Ingraham’s shopping, but it’s not where I shop. (She probably thought he said it’s a buck for a package of butter. Which makes more sense since butter isn’t sold by the stick. But it’s definitely not $4/stick.)

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

The problem has never really been that conservative voters are reluctant to criticize Trump. The problem is a relentless right-wing media apparatus that tells them Democrats are worse.

This is horrific. The needs to stop

That extra second in the Michigan - Western Michigan game was absolute bullshit

I don’t think anything posted by an account called Socialist Planning Beyond Capitalism is true

I revere Dolly Parton much as I do Fred Rogers. They’re people who made it their life goal just to be gentle and kind to everyone that they met. They are prime examples of how we all should behave and live our lives.

One quote that always makes me laugh: asked what her pet peeve in life was, she said, “Well, nobody realizes I got a great ass.”

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

In 2026, there is no longer any lab leak hypothesis you can state consistently with the available evidence. Despite this, it has been the dominant media narrative for six years. Read my new data-driven investigation: www.protagonist-science.com/p/biased-med...

IMAGINE HITTING A 449-FOOT HOME RUN ON THE VERY FIRST PITCH YOU FACED IN THE BIG LEAGUES

Popularism and populism both derive from the same essential impulse, which is to construct a synthetic version of The People that will cure democracy of the need to adjudicate between competing claims.

i'm finally going through the dissents in the birthright citizenship case, each of which grafts some extremely broad unspoken exception onto the plain language of the constitution, and every single dissent can be rebutted by asking "if that is what the drafters meant then why didn't they say it?"

obviously this is all nutpicking but we very much do restrict who gets to be a citizen, and the overwhelmingly most common reason you get to be a citizen is: you were born here

The Obamas just unveiled their first-ever commissioned portrait together which is located in the lobby of the new Obama Presidential Library. Beautiful.

A two-month period in the summer of 1946 birthed Trump, W., Clinton — and the baby boom itself. A look at how the boom shaped U.S. politics and how it didn't. Gift link: shorturl.at/ermkQ

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

There were some really cool skies tonight that I missed because I was inside 😤

My favorite mother’s day cartoon from the stupendous @rosemarymosco.com

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

Hillary was right about everything.

When a King and direct descendent of King George III has to remind the American government about the utmost importance of checks and balances, you know we're in deep trouble.

In case people didn’t know: This is the leading scholar behind the very first big legal challenge to Obamacare, and is now among the leading theorists supporting Donald Trump’s assault on birthright citizenship as spelled out in the 14th Amendment. There’s probably a throughline there.

There’s a slowly growing possibility they just outright collapse their own agricultural sector for no reason

It sure is

It’s absolutely wild that some conservative org is trying to convince Albertans to secede and join the US
