Thought the 2026 Mets craziness would subside once the trade deadline passed and 24 hours later we have a Kodai Senga closer arc

AIPAC sucks and as polling shows is not representative of American Jews, but a message that is pretty much “shut up and dribble” or else we will be forced to believe antiemetic conspiracy theories is gross. If one orgs behavior is getting you there, that is on you.

"In Michigan, AIPAC Is Playing With Fire" As an ostensible defender of Jewish rights, it is unwise to behave like the stuff of antisemitic conspiracy theories. Ryan Cooper for Zeteo:

Between this and the op-ed praising Texas's new book curriculum asking us to just wave past the mandatory religious thing, it was a banner day and both promoted in morning newsletter.

Shameful: The #BrokenTimes hands David Ellison op-ed space rather than challenging his bullshit pap and propaganda about journalism with the receipts he has already delivered at CBS. That would be journalism. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/o...

Well with the Mets season long over I really have been liking MLB having Big Inning on most nights.

It continues to fuck me up that we stay thinking about 9/11 but want to memory hole Covid so bad we're destroying the entire concept of public health in the US.

The Mets traded Minter and got Benny Agbayani's son back in trade? It's really the summer of "Who Let the Dogs Out"! If you know you know....... youtu.be/mUzjF0J-yPI?...

She lost to a guy AIPAC spent seven figures attacking and he proudly reveled in it. The one they backed came third. To call a Biss win "AIPAC bought" is grossly dishonest, and embracing it amounts to El-Sayed attacking an incoming Dem congressman who *agrees* with both of them about Israel & AIPAC.

AIPAC may have bought our election in Illinois, but we're not going to let that happen in Michigan. 5 days left to make them panic. Vote for Abdul on or before August 4th.

spain can build over 500 miles of high speed rail for the amount of money Trump wants to redesign an airport

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 7d ago

President Trump unveiled plans for a $22.5 billion redesign of Dulles International Airport on Wednesday, characterizing the reconstruction as part of his broader efforts to remake the Washington region.

Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...

Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"

I think Yglesias is basically right that audience capture is an exceptionally powerful force, far more than commonly acknowledged; the problem is that one of the best extent examples of this is Yglesias himself.

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.

This is right and a more modern Jewish voice said “Indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself” All appropriate for our current reality.

Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 2w ago

Part of an old Jewish (Hillel) saying goes, “If I am not for myself, who will be for me?” Last night, the most visible part of our national press corps showed they won’t stand up for each other. And they undermined not just themselves, but every local news reporter who must put up with far worse.
