Unemployment has run out, and we have yet to get another TV job (though we've come close!). We have savings, but if my work means anything to you, I would really, really, really appreciate you becoming a subscriber. And now you can make me watch your favorite crap!

I propose that we make Texas play Tennessee every week so that we can simply refer to "the UT game" without there being any ambiguity

the ESPN broadcast having sound issues immediately after informing everyone that the Secret Service had assured both teams that Trump's visit wouldn't interfere with anyone's radios is perfect, no notes

this thread, y'all.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

can't wait to get directed into the path of a landing 737 just because some AI air traffic controller didn't want to say no to my pilot when they asked to use the runway

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "This is the greatest equipment in the world that we're deploying, and it makes the job of the air traffic controller that much easier. We're gonna use AI tools."

it's nice that they got the astronauts those red welcome home balloons, makes the whole thing more festive

The #Artemis II crew capsule Integrity’s side hatch is open and recovery crew are going in to assess the astronauts and (hopefully soon) pull them out

I also sometimes think about doing things I shouldn't do

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Former Vice President Kamala Harris acknowledged on Friday that she was “thinking about” seeking the presidency again in 2028, offering some of her most detailed remarks to date about her future political ambitions. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/10/u...

Fox News doc on lower fertility rate: "The problem is teens and young adults, from ages 15-19 the fertility rate is down 7%, and it's down 70% over the last two decades, meaning we're telling people that are young not have babies, to wait until they're in a more stable life situation"

if they aren't spending the day making a second installment of the "You Don't Have To Follow Illegal Orders" video starring every elected Democrat in Congress, what are we even doing

what a rollercoaster to go from the national pride of a manned lunar flyby to the national shame of "a whole civilization will die tonight" in under 24 hours

we have always been at war with eastasia

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Emmer: "Epic Fury is a bold move by the president to end a conflict literally that's been going on for almost a half century, Maria. That's what people don't understand. This war has already been going for years. So kudos to the President Trump."

Best case here is that importers will get $200+ billion in tariff refunds from the Treasury. But we still paid $8 for eggs. That's not coming back to us. All Trump accomplished is chaos and a massive wealth transfer from consumers to corporations.

state of the union is going to be lit y'all

Craig Harrington@craigipedia.bsky.social

Donald Trump suggests the Supreme Court is a conspiracy of traitors: "They're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution. It's my opinion that the Court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think."

"warrants for arrests"?!? you literally could not set the bar any lower

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told: DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big) CBP stays at border warrants for arrests IDs, bodycams ICE out of churches, schools "That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2057...

this is obv beside the point but the sheer ham-handedness of DHS leaking a video to a right wing news site just so DHS could turn around and retweet it really is something to behold

even if you thought the criminal charges against Maduro are legit (they aren't) and justified the capture of a foreign head of state (they don't), what on Earth are the criminal charges against his wife that justify kidnapping her too?

I, for one, think the president should get to take as much aspirin as he damn well pleases, and in fact should be taking a lot more. Just go to town on the stuff

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)
