This is someone that if he were to get sick or injured in a non-English speaking country and he weren't Vice President of the United States, would not be shy about wanting a doc that spoke English.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoJD Vance whines about translators in hospitals and says, "how about if everyone just spoke English?"
Paying for added attention: Something that people would accuse Texas of doing, when Texas and A&M fans alike know that Tech is gonna be all over that.

If you get “canceled countless times” and you’re appearing in New York Magazine, it kinda makes me wonder if you were actually cancelled. Or maybe you were canceled so hard that I never heard of you in the first place. Sorry that you’re still just a warm-up act.
New York Magazine@nymag.com · 4d agoI’ve been canceled countless times since I started doing comedy online as a teen, the actor and comedian Ivy Wolk writes. Changing minds is not my goal anymore.
This is one of the least shocking things I'll read today and it's only 9:25 in the morning here.
David at FOIAball@foiaball.com · 4d agoLast month, Kirk Herbstreit said he doesn't follow politics or pick sides. Which was nonsense. Just last week, Herbstreit quietly headlined a fundraising dinner for Alabama's second-biggest PAC. The very next day, the PAC sent $155,000 to Tommy Tuberville. www.foiaball.com/p/kirk-herbs...
In the words of Michael Bolton in Office Space, "Why should I change? He's the one that sucks."
Mina Kimes@minakimes.bsky.social · 4d agoIf you’re looking to enjoy *anything* where there are no abusers or men doing bad things, good luck finding it. The minority of bad actors won’t prevent me from working in a sport I love, or drawing attention to its problems.
I haven’t seen the wheels come off so completely as I just saw in that half inning.
I’m personally enjoying the final death of the Kennedys’ hold on American politics. Not that I think that I think that his dad and uncle were as great as their hagiography has made them out to be, but this fuckin’ guy will forever be the last memory of that family as icons of American politics.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 5d agoRFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.
Dan Mauler 🎃@meelar.bsky.social · 6d agoI just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.
Softer than Drake surrounded by a bunch of kittens on a feather bed.

Samantha Brennan@samanthabrennan.bsky.social · 6d agoA new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...
I’ve been enjoying a brief vacation with my wife the last few days, so other than seeing the original Obama clip, I’ve missed most of the Cheesecake Factory discourse. Anyone who wants to be offended by what he said has never actually set foot in one. The food is fine but man, is the decor tacky.
Europe. In my lifetime, the Iron Curtain has fallen, the Schengen Area and the Eurozone have been implemented, and most of the continent is more interconnected and interdependent than it’s ever been.
Michael Druker 🇨🇦@mdruker.app · last wk.Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?
ANCHOR: Mr Ossoff, are you planning to run for President in 2028? OSSOFF: Thank you for that question. I think the best way to answer would be to share a few facts about that goatfucking son of a bitch Mike Collins.
I’m almost tempted to give the WNBA/Dream credit here. That guy wanted to beclown himself on camera, and they avoided that while making him look like a schmuck for turning down their generous offer. Fuck him.

This was an inevitable result once the Whitecaps herped and derped against CF Montréal in the semis.

This is why I don't worry about whether ESPN gets the World Cup right back. The ESPN that had the World Cup for 20 years, that steadily improved the quality of their coverage over that time, and made it really great by the time they did their last one in 2014? That ESPN died a few years ago.

I look forward to two more years of seeing him look befuddled on the touchline for 90 minutes every game.

I don't know if this woman can do a tight five, but she's funnier than a lot of folks calling themselves stand-up comics.
