The qualifications for this desiccated piece of yak scrotum is that he was a rich crackhead.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Ok, I was today years old when I learned that Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase was actually famed UCLA walk-on Natalie Nakase!!! sports.yahoo.com/articles/nat...

sports.yahoo.comNatalie Nakase's unlikely journey: a 5-foot-2 walk-on, coach in Japan, and now in the WNBA FinalsEvery step of her basketball journey, there was a logical reason why Natalie Nakase was unlikely to get a shot. At 5-foot-2, she didn't have the profile (even as a walk-on) to play at UCLA. She played...

Yesterday I watched an old man in Dunkin say the following into his phone: Hey Google, give me the price of the FASTEST Cybertruck, including tax. In Connecticut.

One thing about the Lakers is they are WAY faster than last year. I think they should call Luka/Reaves/Kessler fast breaks "blizzards."

All Republicans should be assumed to be pedophiles until proven otherwise. There's just too much evidence at this point.

As Ramaswamy doubles down on his new ad featuring a woman who chose her pedophile rapist husband over her own daughter, his victim, let me remind you that this story happened literally one week ago. They really, really, really want to lock up the pedophile vote.

"Sure. Do you disavow Donald Trump?"

jamelle@jamellebouie.net

Remember this the next time you're thinking of bitching about the Dems' "messaging."

David Roberts@volts.wtf

Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.

"Deal with it" is insane here. The President of the United States called in a Code Red on someone in congress! There were Dem politicians murdered by a Republican! This is like saying "yeah, Trump is murdering people on boats in military strikes, but people die on boats all the time."

Look, I'm not trying to be unsympathetic to the politicians in the article. But non-pols get these threats daily. Woman got doxxed and their kids threatened for disclosing they were harassed by a serial predator. I got an artisanal hand-written death threat mailed to my apartment. Deal with it.

Hey, here's something no Democrat would ever do!

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance on H-1B recipients: "It's one thing if you were to bring in a person like Elon Musk. I think 99% of American citizens look at somebody like Elon Musk and say, 'if that person wants to come in and build something great in the US, we support that.' But if you're bringing in an accountant... "

One of the worst thing to happen in the last few decades politically (besides the obvious) is Bernie Sanders convincing a large subset of young white Americans that Clinton and Obama were worse than the Bushes and Reagan. And I'm not sure we'll ever really recover from it.
