All you have to do is listen to the guy and a million red flags go up. There is zero concern for his daughter. Just tossing blame. A normal parent would be visibly upset and would stop at nothing to find out who hurt her.

NEWSMAX: Your daughter fractured her collarbone and there was a handprint on her upper chest, and it left a bruise. How did that happen? MAX MILLER: What I can tell you is I didn't do that. 9 of the 11 previous days was my ex-wife's care. What's so troubling about child protective services is ...

This is such an great feature (Rebecca is great!), and I've been thinking about it for a few days. IMO, "Influencer" in the ten-years-ago sense was really a LOT of jobs (spokesmodel/copywriter/etc.) but now it's morphing, at least in part, into "intentionally annoying person" which feels worse.

The Influencer Recession

Once upon a time, lifestyle influencers could post cute photos and make millions. Now they are forced to pivot.

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

god can you imagine telling a Youth about elder statesman of the Senate Ted Kennedy and how popular he was by the time he died and THEN telling them about Chappaquidick

RE: the last screenshot, on Doug Burgum: It's worth noting that Burgum ended up being the point man in Trump's war against wind power, and so had to get comfortable blatantly and publicly lying to do that. Once you start getting comfortable with it, future instances become easy.

It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

it’s more expensive to be poor than rich, thats all the theory is and its not complicated and its obviously true for example buy toilet paper in singles instead of bulk for a year and see how much money you waste

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

Literally a week after Barnes was fired the hours of the CARE team were expanded from 12:00 PM - 10:00 PM to 6:30 AM - 1:00 AM. Firing Barnes got results fast! www.instagram.com/p/DboFnMosVVJ/

Seattle's crisis response team leader Amy Barden hasn't met with Police Chief Shon Barnes since Bruce Harrell appointed him in 2024, despite the fact that the two departments are supposed to work together to decide which 911 calls require cops and which require a social work/mental health response.

Congratulations once again to the Seattle Times for bravely coming out against the library levy. Losing by 40-ish points is a good indicator of where y’all stand

More generally, there are no good-faith conservative arguments at all. Zero. None. They are never well-meaning but misguided, they are never bringing up legitimate concerns, they are never Just Asking Questions.

there is no good faith anti-trans sports lobby and never has been it’s been a cynical wedge issue from day one for a group of people looking to replace gay marriage as a cultural weapon none of them have ever cared about women, women’s sports, or even sports

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

It might surprise some critics, but Barnes suffered from a medical condition known as "chowder head", wherein the patient speaks and acts in an outwardly confident manner while in fact being a great big dummy

Maritza Rivera keeps quietly going "Mmm hmm" to Saka and Kettle's comments. Hmm, wonder what they'll do when CCTV camera surveillance fails to prevent or solve violent crime? (I don't actually wonder. They'll just say it shows they need more surveillance, and blame the mayor again.)

I bet there are some WNBA players who would enjoy playing with/against NBA men but in what world could folks be normal enough about it to make it worth the time?

it's interesting how many men get satisfaction out of knowing that other men can beat elite female athletes. like ok, maybe the best high school boys team in the country can beat a WNBA team, but YOU can't

“The inclusion of Elliot Page, a centerpoint of outrage from the Right, seems particularly notable given his casting as Sinon, who becomes an unwitting human sacrifice to enable Odysseus’s glory; out of all of America’s groups, none has been more overtly used as a decoy target than trans persons.”

Jeff Yang@originalsp.in · yesterday

“THE ODYSSEY was not a surprising choice…It’s a war chronicle, a superhero story, a revenge movie, a tale about an unreliable narrator (an amnesiac who’s unsure if he’s awake, dreaming, deluded or unhooked from the flow of time). It contains the seeds of every Nolan movie, everywhere, all at once.“

I wish people who aren't from DC would drop this messaging line that the National Guard are all standing around doing nothing playing on their phones weeding our flower beds. The National Guard presence is not benign and each Guard member is complicit at this point. 🧵

Like voter fraud, it should be easy for conservatives to put forth some actual case that proves their fears. Instead, it's all innuendo and nonsense. Shame on voters everywhere who fall for a bunch of nothing, and shame on everybody who can't muster a scrap of empathy
