Aston Villa FC + Penn State. Father of 2. Tragically unfunny. I once won a national championship in baseball (it's cooler if you don't ask for details).

Just looking at the DNC webpage for no particular reason, and they can't even spell their National Chair's name correctly. That...uhhhh...doesn't give me a ton of confidence.

Just so you can't say I didn't call it...

When we talk about "taxing rich people" there's folks who think we're talking about Aunt Edna who has the second summer home. The astronomical levels of "rich" that now exist are almost unfathomable to people. It's the stuff of vast empirical dynasties. We're talking about taxing emperors.
The ultra-wealthy will often take whole fleets of cars with them when they travel, loading vehicles, along with motorbikes and other toys, onto chartered cargo aircraft that follow their private jets. This is how they do it: cnn.it/3X8V14a

If Ds aren't willing to say "this is a big deal" loudly and consistently, then why on earth would the electorate think it is a big deal?

In the 1990s, lots of right-wing Christian men told me presidents who lie about sex should go to jail :)

this guy is an extreme racist who stated repeatedly before the killing his hatred for Black people and his desire to kill them, and now Texas is going to give him his firearms back

Tom Hanks war auch wieder im Villa Park. Da hat er er einen spektakulären Tag erwischt. Ich kann es kaum fassen was da alles nicht rein ging. Auf beiden Seiten. Aston Villa 3:3 Liverpool #AVFC #AVLLIV

Pretty sure the xg on Carlos' miss was .99. Record signing forgets how soccer works in the final third. Still only down one goal. UTFV.

Inmates do billions of dollars of work for companies and governments each year. A landmark trafficking lawsuit alleges many are being kept in prison because the business is just too good. The suit says it seeks “to abolish a modern-day form of slavery.” www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Just organized a “group ride” with my two kids to do errands, get lunch, and have some fun. Thanks @tomflood.bsky.social for reminding us that it’s ok to demand better than what we’ve got.

I haven’t said much about the protests because I’ve nothing original to say. (I know, innovative approach.) But as a nervous-to-paranoid American Jew, I’m a lot more worried about the guys in the background than the woman in the foreground.

Is what’s happening in Gaza terrible, and should we be trying to use every opportunity to stop it? Absolutely. But let’s worry about the fire trying to burn our own house down more because we’re not going to be of much help if we make the arsonist the fire chief

As someone who studies government, I want to say as clearly as possible that Trump 2.0 will not be the disorganized shitshow that the first term was. They have a credible plan to govern in an explicitly authoritarian model.
