Reports say the NYT doesn't know what happened & is confused. Which is why I'm calling for them to step down & hand the reins over to the Daily News as the new paper of record.

Giving into the blood that they are screaming for now will not stop them, it will only reinforce their narrative & encourage them to go deeper. They will immediately turn on Harris and implicate her in a “coverup” of Biden’s health, wholly of their own design.

Does it have Drums > Space in the middle of it?* *still no.

Can't decide if this is a terrible pitch or an okay pitch for my favorite single podcast episode ever: Would you be willing to listen to a three-hour podcast about one Grateful Dead song if it explained the 1000 true fans thing, the Dead’s popularity, and why Silicon Valley has gone so far right?

Lol… France have 1 goal from open play and it was scored by Belgium.

Rolling into the oval office at 11, zoning out for the intelligence briefing, whining until they let him wander away and watch fox. That was Trump every damn day

Should I be mildly annoyed they’re getting to 130?

Almost literally Krusty as he pulled the lever to vote for Sideshow Bob.

Mitch McConnell offers an object lesson for all the Republicans who think they can tame this tiger -- even if you do everything in your power to advance Trump's agenda and sabotage two different impeachment trials that would remove him, the Felon Messiah King will still demand your head.

The model to contemplate is Putin’s Russia. Trump aspires to it and SCOTUS just gave him the ok. Putin is the richest person in the world. He has oligarchs who do well as long as they stay loyal. And the nation suffers terribly. Sham elections. Detained/murdered opposition. State media.

Big week for bunting.

Just un-fucking-believable how the same guy completes a 99-yard Hail Mary with 1 second on the clock game after game after game after game after… etc.

Corky was always nice to me. Although I quickly learned to never talk story ideas with him. He was at the daily; I was at a weekly. And more than once he pilfered something I said and beat me to print with it. www.austinchronicle.com/daily/music/...

I mean the funniest part of it is that they light the Constitution on fire then just go on vacation. Like ‘Republican presidents are now kings. Got a plane to catch.’

Wait did the guy calling the game for RTVE just scream ‘Goal for Liverpool’? I mean I know that’s Gakpo’s club but uh…

Judge Orders Biden Administration to Resume Permits for Gas Exportswww.nytimes.com President Biden had paused new natural gas export terminals to assess their effects on the climate, economy and national security. A federal judge disagreed.

like under this decision, Biden would be entirely justified both morally and legally (again, by their own logic) in arresting every Republican justice and throwing them in Gitmo indefinitely bsky.app/profile/davi...

This is the climate policy we get with a court system invested in a dictatorship of Republicans: the President has total immunity and absolute power...unless he's a Democrat & does something good for the country. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/01/c...

Fuck this guy.

Really neat that our democracy worked to prevent dictators up until we came into contact with one.

Might get to see my country destroyed twice in one day.
