New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.” If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.

Were there live odds while this was happening on whether Pat McAfee would survive?

I refused to learn this man’s name he’ll always be “Kirkland Brand Gus Johnson” to me. h/t @defector.com

there are some people I think would absolutely revel in this sort of mass rejection but Vivek does not strike me as one of them, therefore I am deciding this is hilarious to me.

this is so fucking bleak and I feel sorry for this 10-year-old.

Me: “Josh, do you know what Brad Lidge’s post-playing profession is?” J: “No.” Me: “I will give you a million dollars if you guess what it is and the outlet in which it was covered.”

This book by Julianna Glasse is so good!! www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

Funny how Oregon joined the Big Ten and then became a Big Ten Football Team™

This is why JR Moehringer’s profile of Alex Rodriguez is journalism canon to me. He got unfettered access to A-Rod but refused to quote him in any way because he was a known liar. I’ve always wished political journalists would apply this thinking but they would never. www.espn.com/espn/feature...

I actually legit lol’d at the height difference between The Miz and Ken.

the amount of anxiety and doom I would have felt in that last out if I were a brewers fan I would not be alive rn

This is nightmare stuff

I feel badly I told my kid I was worried the brewers would be rusty because they sat so long and he kept repeating that in the lead up to tonight’s game

Honestly I had no idea this shrill failkaren even had a job in the administration until video of her throwing a beer at a Wiz game circulated yesterday. An administration full of losers.

federal agents took a daycare teacher from a room of screaming toddlers in Chicago last fall during drop-off and it radicalized a bunch of yoga pants moms who started buying anti-ICE shirts.

NEWS: the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders have unionized and the Cowboys have agreed to recognize the union

I fucking hate it here.

In some ways, I agree with @brianstraw.bsky.social that it feels like 10 years. On the other hand, everything from one year ago—the constant alerts of the presence of federal agents, the abduction of our neighbors in broad daylight, the start of this case—feels so fresh.

SNCC photographer Danny Lyon is literally Jewish! He’s only 84 and still around

"when I did it, it was obviously illegal" is, uh, not something you want to have been recorded saying yikes

Vivek arrives at the pearly gates. "Mr. Washington, I think my life has pleased you. I have platformed the estranged mother of my political opponent, who was raped by said mother's second husband. And I have awkwardly attempted to rap bars of Eminem at political events."

Netflix's Mo was such a good and important show and in season 2, Mo travels to Palestine to his family's olive groves. Maybe this weekend would be a good weekend to watch if you haven't already!

here is a photo of John Lewis being beaten to the ground on the Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday I wonder how that image was captured? Look I know these shitposters are dumb but sometimes that dumb is actually too much to let lie.

this #SlatePitch is incredible.

Angel Reese... that wave at the end 😂

I hate seeing Kim Mulkey in every context

What The Actual Fuck

Baby Mangino can vote now.

I don’t know why I am always surprised that every normal person isn’t the exact amount of “2008 online” as me. I dropped “Baby Mangino” in conversation as if this were the most well known celebrity story of a generation.
