We are about to go through some VERY intense heat, and the gas price roller coaster is stressing people the hell out. If you cant make the case for clean, reliable, safe energy now you are a coward and a loser.

Best thing about Mamdani is that he's one of the only Democrats who understands you can just do things

When James Dolan cancels the watch party outside MSG, we bring the watch party to you. Thanks to the @nba.com, Knicks Game 4 is now playing on dozens of LinkNYC screens across our city. LGK.

From me: The return of the New World screwworm to America for the first time since 1966 is a reminder that government actually does important things, no matter how much its functions are demonized by know-nothings. prospect.org/2026/06/09/w...

prospect.orgWhy That Next Hamburger Is Going to Cost You - The American ProspectThe domestic return of the New World screwworm, a parasite that can devastate cattle herds, happened while the Trump administration was focused on dismantling government.

RAJU: But what evidence is there to prove the California election is rigged? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.

We know how, morons!

Idaho health officials are investigating how nearly 60 people got sick after drinking raw milk in the past two weeks. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare says they didn't name two dairies potentially linked to the outbreak “because this is a potential risk for any raw milk producer.”

I swear, we are having to let people relearn lessons already paid for in oceans of blood and sewage

Economic reporting is horrible, which is why I have been trashing it for three decades. That has to do with who owns the media. That should be a huge issue, but for some reason few people can be bothered to think about it.

Daniel Smith@danielsomers.bsky.social

Well. Do they do enough to counter the impression that it is? not something paid attention to but my guess would be no. ???

The Mando and Grogu was fun, btw. But the fandom is rending its garments again because we have what we wanted: unlimited content. And it turns out nothing is as fun as your bunkbed Falcon and a wrapping paper tube. #starwars

At the same two more people were grabbed in front of the Giant. All of these goons serve Constitution-shredding criminals.

As the ebola and hantavirus outbreaks continue to spread, the Trump Administration is responding by ordering US scientists NOT to cooperate or even communicate with international health agencies. If either outbreak spreads to the USA, Trump is making certain that we will be completely unprepared.

MacFarlane: I'm filling a notebook with misinformation spreading about January 6th today. The idea that these cases were wrongful, no case was overturned, not a one on appeal. And lots of people appealed. They had a 100% success rate for juries at trial.

Everything feels like a grift or scam these days because our economy offers more monetary incentives to grifters and scammers than to honest businesses or creators. Nothing is going to feel better or improve until this changes.

i think it is a solid sign of how fundamentally checked out bezos is from the actual state of american politics that he is mouthing the cliches of 20 years ago as if they are novel insights

This is absolute nonsense *BEZOS: US DOESN'T HAVE A REVENUE PROBLEM, IT HAS A SPENDING ONE

We also had to watch this in school (for which I am grateful) in the panhandle of Texas in the 80s/90s.

For you to understand how much the world has changed, in the 1970s as a second grader we were REQUIRED to watch the TV show adaptation of ROOTS. REQUIRED. www.knoxnews.com/story/news/e...

I gotta tell you, the thing I find least interesting is a video about reviews of movies the content maker has not seen themselves. These "The Mandalorian and Grogu reviews are in" videos are really insufferable. Go see the movie then review it.

yes. the clearest path to deal with the SCVA ruling is just to say that it wasn’t a constitutionally valid exercise of judicial review. because it wasn’t!

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li@sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com

again, this is literally black-letter constitutional text in virginia. this is an inalienable power that supercedes any formal amendment process. the court went beyond its jurisdiction when it attempted to overturn the referendum.

This is really horrible. FIFA is horrible. The World Cup cannot leave Dallas soon enough.

Well. you can't say FIFA doesn't know how to Dallas properly. They came to town and immediately destroyed a beloved downtown mural painted in 1999 by a revered artist. www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comm...

Elon Musk is crashing out over the casting of a Black woman as Helen of Troy because I guess Helen, who canonically was hatched out of an egg after her mother fucked a god-goose, was "really white"? I guess???

They are 100% gonna try to do Jim Crow and segregation again. If they succeed, they'll start testing the possibility of reinstituting actual slavery.
