Do you guys remember the end of the old viral "double rainbow" video where the guy broke down and started shouting "what does it mean?!?" That's me right now.

I hate this so much.

Years later, I remain baffled by this DC/cable news version of Trump era progressivism that fetishizes the national security apparatus.

Sometimes Bluesky is funny. I dont know if I blocked, they blocked, or you did but this is how I experienced this and I feel ok about it.

I am not remotely pro Netanyahu and think AIPACs involvement in US politics is disturbing but I will say this quote from Bowman in particular felt really over the line to me.

Tonight's POLITICO nightly newsletter takes both sides false equivalency BS to a pretty spectacular level.

Ivan Raiklin, the architect of the J6 Pence pressure strategy, is very mad about my recent reporting. He is on X (of course) complaining. I appreciate him pointing out in detail how TPM was ahead of a few big outlets on this story. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/the-man...

I am just remembering that this isn't even the first time WaPo has done this on this very topic.

It's one thing to show up after a story began, but quite another to do that and suggest others weren't on it.

I just realized that the dog I met before leaving Tokyo this month is an internationally famous chihuahua fashion influencer.

I just randomly got this email from the site formerly known as Twitter. Not sure what's going on here. I have no interest in joining their monetized service. I have no interest in doing business with Elon Musk in any fashion since he is a radical far right political activist.

I am in Japan and there are some things here that I don't understand like this electrical outlet.

I agree with this completely - and can't think of anyone who has less right to say it.

In response to this story, Ivan Raiklin, who wrote the J6 "Pence Card" memo, apparently announced he has me "under investigation" on an "Alpha" podcast where they hawk gold, silver, and questionable medical information. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/the-man...

Here's a great example of how, when the media strains for some notion of fairness, conservatives will try to push them even further right. It requires an off the charts level of bullshittery to pretend major media was remotely on the side of protesters. And yet, here we are.

Part of the whole thing with the Knicks is memory holing the real Knicks legends whose relationship with the toxic owner is so bad that they don't show up and aren't part of this.

This is an actual Trump campaign press release and not a parody.

I just realized that Dominican bachata legend Anthony Santos has this picture with Bill de Blasio as his artist photo on Spotify and I needed to share this with all of you.

I have seen few things that sum up the state of the internet in 2024 better than this snapshot from a right wing RFK Jr Facebook group.

This is a rather unproductive and depressing side note, but I can help but wonder how much money Jeff Bezos has made off the Gaza protests.

Closing out the day with some important texts.

I haven't heard from them for a few minutes. I may have gone too far.
