The nerds of North Campus have spoken with one voice.
University of Michigan voters have a 100% El-Sayed precinct right now.
If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE. If you arrived before the posted closing time, they are legally required to stay until EVERYONE has received a Hot ‘N Ready.
/Me, adjusting my fanciest Lawyer Hat Promises of large sums of money from shady organizations known for criminal levels of corruption and incompetence should typically be documented in writing.
The US host cities for the 2026 men's World Cup claim that they were *verbally* promised $1 million each by Gianni Infantino and that FIFA hasn't paid up. Truly incredible stuff. www.nytimes.com/athletic/749...
Absolutely. Because there is zero chance I would get the ball to begin with. Can’t fumble what you don’t have. So, actually, tackling me is a penalty. First Down, my team. I am a hero.
Do you think you take a hit from a NFL player and not fumble the ball at your age?
“I thought was Mariska Hargitay was appearing on my timeline but it turned out to be Michele Tafoya” has strong “I thought Under Pressure was coming on the radio but it turned out to be Ice Ice Baby” vibes.
Make that seven friendless bigots. Nice of Michele Tafoya to show up and thank every single one of her voters in person.
“This episode of Bluey is called World War One.” ~ My 4-year-old daughter, just now. I have never been more proud of my parenting.
It’s only a Pied-á-Terre Tax if it comes from the Pied-á-Terre region of Brooklyn. Otherwise it’s technically called Sparkling Eat-The-Rich.
Oh no, not your mom’s pied-a-terre!!!!!!!
I’ve been on a plane where one engine blew up while taxiing. A plane that nearly tipped over on approach. A plane where the flight attendants were yelling from the back of the plane reminding people where the air sickness bags were. A plane stuck on the tarmac for hours. No. THIS is my nightmare.
Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...
@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social As a follow-up to last week’s Country Singers With Two First Names conversation: is there a corollary for Local Businessman Under Federal Investigation? Because… Roy Dale.
Federal authorities investigating a Metro official are also looking into two Nashville businessmen, a source told the Banner. One of those men, Roy Dale, told the Banner he is “cooperating and providing whatever we need to provide.” ✍️ @stelliott.bsky.social
American society hasn’t been presented with a “this has to be a bit, right?” situation this confounding since Andy Kaufman died.
"Cool kids on the Internet. They're doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. But let's be real. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens

Have been a member of the @whca.bsky.social almost continuously since the 1990s. Our mission is to defend the First Amendment rights of White House correspondents to report on the president without fear or favor. Unfortunately last night did not advance that cause. Time to rethink the dinner.
Imagine struggling when the Trolley Problem is framed as “there’s no one on your current track, but if you flip the switch the trolley will run over a bunch of kids.”
Fuck you, Ian Bremmer, you abject ghoul.
Called my wife “quantum superpositioned” and tried to measure her reaction. She collapsed.
constantly, constantly, eternally saying this
Initial reaction is “oh fuck off.” Somewhat more nuanced reaction is “so, you’re gonna want to fuck ALL the way off, take a left at the light, fuck off for about another quarter mile or so, and then fuck off at the last house on the end of Fuckoff Lane.”
The vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.
JT Realmuto is like “oof buddy that was BAD bad.”
Rocco Rios Novo with the howler of all howlers MLS IS BACK FOLKS.
This, but the Fireworks Factory is a Luke Bryan* song. (Or Bryan Luke? Or Matt Luke? It’s impossible to say)

This episode is about four kinds of journeys - Spencer attempting for 35 minutes to tell us about some country song - Surber on the Tour de France - The Odyssey, a movie about constantly leaving the beach - Two hours of audio for you, the listener at home
Dave Brandon got fired for active incompetence. Warde Manuel got fired for passive incompetence. Genuinely not sure I have a preference. Active incompetence flames out. Passive incompetence festers and roots deeply into a culture.
I know there’s supposed to be something of a truce between balding men, but what the fuck is happening with Trump’s hair?
Argentina is gonna tie this up on the most astounding bullshit you’ve ever seen.
So Argentina is just a Will Muschamp team that happens to have Randy Moss lining up outside?
