What’s the best episode of television you’ve ever seen?

This is a sign that they're not even interested in basic journalistic standards. They're just interested in chumming the waters and selling more clicks. This should have been caught even before an editor saw it. They've completely abandoned even the pretense of the pursuit of truth.

Yup. WaPo issued a correction and seems like that's exactly what happened.

I think this is the best argument I've seen Switching now is far more risky and far more complicated. It's also not necessary now. Should it become necessary after Jan 2025, we can go down that route then when the path does have a consequence approaching infinite.

No, but that’s not the issue before us, and we have a generally easier process to switch to Harris after the election than we do now.

I finally got to try Duke's mayonnaise. It's fine. Not terribly different than Hellman's, Duke's has a fattier mouthfeel. I'm not sure it deserves the hype.

I know this is probably a hot take, but Grand Funk's Loco Motion is my favorite version.

Other than Hurt by Johnny Cash and any version of The Sound of Silence, what are your favorite cover versions of famous songs?

Kinda hope he does ask Zelensky that so he can (correctly) say "those dollars are in the bank accounts of US businesses and the US pension funds that own their shares"

Ok UK election understanders, I have a question: weren't the Conservatives forecasted to take a bigger beating than this? I thought the polling trends showed Reform getting a higher number of seats than the Tories.

Congratulations to the UK on finally getting around to installing that Tory delete mod

If Joe Biden wanted to go out with a bang, I'd suggest cleaning house

ICE created a fake university in order to defraud, rob, and deport students. The depths of depravity there know no bounds. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Students at fake university in Michigan created by ICE can sue US, court ruleswww.freep.com An appeals court ruled in favor of students who said they were tricked by ICE into enrolling at a fake university in metro Detroit.

I think this is probably right His interview is going to be scrutinized and the slightest slip is going to be snowballed into something much worse than it deserves (especially given the free pass his opponent has been given by the media)

Showing up in an ABC interview tomorrow night isn't going to fix it. He can come off absolutely perfect and it's not going to turn the tide of the current media narrative. It just won't. And again, this might not be fair to him, to his supporters, or to the country.

Really nice to see Mark Cavendish get the stage win today. Wasn't sure he had it in him this year but really happy for him.

This makes sense given the geography. And probably why midwesterners are so fixated on the weather.

How accurate is the weather forecast in your city? Niko Kommenda and I learned that NWS just began doing gridded assessments of forecast accuracy. We got the data and mapped of how many days into the future they get within 3°F of the observed high temp. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

it is fucking boggling to me that this is not an exaggeration. there is quite literally no other idea more central to the country. this is the distilled essence of the entire founding. the soul of the revolutionary war. they wiped their asses with it three days before independence day.

/8 At any rate, congratulations to the Federalist Society for an achievement beyond the reach of the British, outside the grasp of bloody civil war, impossible to Nazis and Soviets and terrorists: defeating the American idea.

I saw a post earlier where someone mentioned the evidence exclusion. I honestly don't really believe it so I didn't really dwell on it. But goddamn is that bad news for democracy. They may have killed executive privilege for some stuff but they just unleashed the Robot Nixon version of it. Bleak

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

I've been away from socials for some time but things seem so absolutely bleak right now that I need a platform to scream things into the void. For at least the next five minutes.

Man, Barrett came so close to getting it. From SCOTUSBlog: "Barrett agrees with the majority on the 'core constitutional powers' immunity but would take a different approach to other official acts..."

i have so much boundless contempt for these pathetic white men, who were blessed enough to be born in one of the few attempts at multiracial democracy in the world, and who panic at being no more valued than anyone else to the extent that they'd blow it all up and go back to divine right of kings

Roberts has some real fuckin balls: "As for the dissents, they strike a tone of chilling doom that is wholly disproportionate to what the Court actually does today--conclude that immunity extends to official discussions between the President and his Attorney General..."
