I hope smooth operations at the police academy’s gymnasium are able to recover from the scrambling imposed by the mayor playing basketball.

Went to the NYT homepage to see if they have anything on the new rape allegations leveled at Trump (they do not), saw this, and noped out.

Not sure what level of bleak we're at when shitty gig work companies are monopolizing, but it might be peak bleak.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Pathetic obsequiousness.

This took three people? Truly embarrassing shit.

It turns out punishing coup plotters actually is an effective deterrent!

I've already seen some effort to bury this as "there's not a lot new here." As if, "What's one more rape victim?" is sound editorial judgment. Republicans kept the Benghazi story going for years on nothing new, but that didn't stop to press from covering every nothing burger they served up.

Jay-Z Dick Cheney’d himself!!!!

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Honestly poetic. A franchise that has led the charge in taking position player pitching from quirky happenstance to roster strategy - just one of dozens of aesthetically perverting “innovations” in service of being cheap doing this as we barrel toward a lockout in service of owners being cheap.

The Brewers are on their way to being 10-1 this October.

Posts like this really grind my gears because it really takes a couple seconds to find out that PR has a vibrant immigrant community, which is who they're detaining in these videos. You're really just showing your ignorant ass with this type of stuff.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

corporate media routinely describes Tim Scott as a moderate and celebrates his "relentless optimism"

Not that long ago, three major lower-court rulings against the executive branch on three unrelated topics would’ve been a busy *month,* and outlets would’ve rushed to write up such a run of adverse rulings. Now, it doesn’t feel unusual when we get three on the same *day.* It’s all … exhausting.

This World Series needs more base-running outs.

Fucking weasels.

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Tbf he’s quoting all his rich Republican friends who are in or sometimes to have go to dc and they’re all gigantic pussies

Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal sound great. I can’t believe they’re in their mid to late 50s. ☠️

I dont know if it's because they love republicans and want them to win but holy crap is this an embarrassment. the equivalent of reckless disregard in terms of journalism fuck ups. Just the simplest damn googling.

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

Bumatay is 48 and I would very much like to know what the plan is to get him off the bench.

Sorry to the World Series but I’m watching the Rent livestream instead.

I truly do believe Brooklyn Law should revoke Rodneyse Bichotte’s spot on their board, if not her JD. Hard to see her ever getting admitted to the bar at this point. bsky.app/profile/newk...

You're not wrong about Trump's health. You're underestimating the quality of care the President of the United States can get from quite literally the nation's top doctors. That's how he survived COVID in October 2020.

The AirBnB people whining about the incredibly postmature rules changes are hilarious. Hey, here's an idea, if you don't want to pay someone to clean up after guests don't run a fucking lodging business!

🎶 You can't lie about thiiiiiiis 🎶

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

the Fascist Internationale once again getting Lucy-with-the-footballed due to the fact that the guy they made the keystone to their whole thing hates losers way more than he cares about them
