How rational.

My 4-year/old just learned about the concept of infinity and is now throwing a tantrum over it. “It’s weird! I don’t like it. I just want numbers to stop!”

Personally I would love to see Bluesky expand. It shouldn’t just be the app for leftists who can’t stand Matt Yglesias! It should also be the app for liberals who can’t stand Matt Yglesias. And apolitical folks who can’t stand Yglesias. And, yes, even conservatives who can’t stand Matt Yglesias!

Hurling F-bombs at an 85-year-old scientist who won’t fight back doesn’t make you tough. Staying silent after your own daughter accused Rep. Max Miller of holding a gun to her head, pushing her against a wall, and fracturing your granddaughter’s collarbone makes you a coward.

After a rash of firings two months ago, CBS News has announced two new correspondents and three new contributors as it races to reboot "60 Minutes," including New York Times opinion columnist Ross Douthat, who has been helming a weekly interview show for the past year. https://cnn.it/3Tl6iyJ

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

Well, I'm sure this Todd Blanche fellow, who was literally referred yesterday to his state bar for ethical violations by a federal judge wouldn't lie to a Senator, now would he?

Durbin came to talk to us after meeting w Todd Blanche - said Blanche said "I made a mistake" about the weaponization fund. Durbin asked for assurances that the admin won't interfere in the midterms — says Blanche said "we won't." Also seemed pretty sure that there aren't many swayable Republicans

There was a period of time when NBC would put out these miniseries based on public domain epics with the most stacked cast you’ve ever seen and then schools would show them to 7th graders for the next 20 years and it was kinda paradise

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

What was it like meeting Hakeem Jeffries?

Earlier the announcers called the weather "oppressive" when it's 89 degrees and 57% humidity and they're still complaining lol. It was 93 degrees and 88% humidity in Houston today while me and the wife walked around a shopping center and I thought to myself "not too bad with the breeze"

Alex Karp is having lunatic meltdowns every day on TV. Let's check in on another Palantir board member and see if they can talk some sense in him. He what? He said WHAT? Ah, well, nevertheless

this video from the bbc about texas bbq is frying me

do these geniuses ever wonder why or have any way to rationalize the fact that no one in the republican party says "we need a strong democratic party, it's not healthy to have just a dominant republican party" or do they just blank out like a westworld robot

Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · last mo.

Democrat Phil Weiser is the overwhelming favorite to be Colorado's next Governor. He says Colorado would be better served with a more competitive Republican party. "Competition makes us stronger," Weiser said. "It's not healthy for any state to have one party that's dominant."
