I should probably be more worried about feeling notifications in my pocket since my phone is still charging in the other room.

Me and my twin brother, oh the pranks we pulled on our grade school teachers. Ha! They still haven't found Mrs. Grady. And they never will.

Never friend your current coworkers; it allows them to see how cool you are and then they want to hang out with you.

Pat McAfee shouldn't be on tv every day. He should be the guy from college you assume is dead now when in actuality he just works for his dad and was ordered by a judge to delete his Instagram.

it feels like its kinda being ignored but outside a couple outliers the only thing republicans are running on in the midterms is that theyre white and democrats arent

dude, you got yourself kicked out of two boarding schools, your Harvard application is rumored to have consisted of two words - "Harvard" and "Kennedy" -, your peers there say you were a dealer in college, your roommate reportedly wrote your senior thesis for you, and you failed the NY bar twice

The citizen who yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" is, in this hard time, a patriot. Honestly, what is left to say about this level of misrule? What careful critique hasn't been already offered? What reasoned response to this full-on run at fascism and kleptocracy remained unspoken?

Whether it’s Republicans openly demanding bribes or Democrats investigating the payment of bribes, both parties have created a tense and politicized environment for CEOs.

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

Yeah, what the well-heeled pundits are missing — which is wild, because it's been a decade! — is that the kitschiness is the point. Fascists LOVE kitsch. I wrote about this in 2019. Bad, corny taste is how they reassure themselves they are the herrenvolk. www.salon.com/2019/12/25/h...

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.
