How do so many professional opinion-havers not actually know anything?

I'm reading memos and letters to the university community from presidents who are implementing draconian budget cuts this year (for a project I'm working on) and good god the amount of obfuscatory and weasel-wordy business-speak in these things is making me grind my teeth into dust

Don't believe for a second that Nat-C wasn't intentional.

Been at the National Conservatism Conference for 30 minutes and already had to explain to someone who Sargon of Akkad (who's here!) is

What this whole episode has shown me is that there are too many people who make a living as "opinion havers" and who seem to think they MUST have an opinion and say something about everything. Punditification is the death of political journalism.

Ho-hum. A late entry into the genre. Biden has made his decision to stay in. Get behind him.

They want queer people to suffer and die. It's that simple.

Why is Morgan Chalfant? No, seriously. Why is this fuckwit part of anything?

Hey you guys wanna see the dumbest plan to replace Biden possible? www.semafor.com/article/07/0...

The Sulzbergers are such Good Germans.

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

The Times is going all in on the Volksreich.

This is some cracker-ass cracker shit here.

Am I cooler than the least cool thing imaginable? Yeah, probably.

Uruguay-Brazil. Should be a good nightcap.

OK. I like Memphis's old-school headband. Better than any haircut Griezman has had through his whole career.

HUP HOLLAND HUP!

I so fucking HATE all these worthless generational labels like Boomers, Xers, Millenials, Zoomers, whateverthefuckers. It's garbage. The whole thing. It was made up by mindless marketeers (redundant, I know).

"Look, we can't help it if this is the prevailing narrative," say the folks working at the country's largest narrative-creation factory.

an entire movement of wicked people who celebrate wickedness

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

I honestly have no idea what day it is.

one of the most dishonest things people in my profession do is pretend as if “the story” and “the narrative” isn’t something they have direct control over

The officiating at this Copa America has been atrocious.

OK, it's from the last World Cup, but I always enjoy this picture of Tako watching Ronaldo leave the pitch for the last time.

It's kind of amazing that Portugal doesn't have a world-class Olympic diving team.

There are no WATBs more whiny than rich men.

Anyway in case you've been wondering why the Times has it's knife into the Biden admin, here's why. They reduced access for the most access obsessed dipshits in America. Thats all it took. Well, that and Biden saying Sulz should pay higher taxes on his personal wealth

Allez Les Bleus! Make Ronaldo cry again.

The great thing about Extra Time is that it limits the between-match yapfest.

A second insurrection. Stop comparing these people to the founders. They are the Confederacy.

A second American Revolution, this one aimed at unwinding democracy in favor of a monarchy. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

He means queer people.

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech. "Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!" Video and story here: newrepublic.com/article/1834...

Who the f*ck cares who Ross Douthat and David French, both conservatives, think the Democratic nominee should be?

This Copa coverage is so annoying. "Look how hard they fight for Messi!" Has it occurred to the commentators that the players might also want to win for themselves?

This fucking guy is an enemy of the American democratic republic. It really is that simple.

Rich people are sooooooooooooo fucking needy, it's pathetic.

Step down for the birthday boys
