I know that when I want clear-headed analysis on epidemiological issues, I turn to a guy who was suspended for referring to Jessica Mendoza as Tits McGee when she became the first woman to call an MLB playoff game.
Patton mistreated Holocaust survivors so badly that Eisenhower relieved him of command. MacArthur tried to conduct his own foreign policy and ignored intel on Chinese intentions, leading to a massive retreat and his firing by Truman. But at least they both, you know, wore the uniform, Donnie.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · yesterdayStolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
Audience-Capture Miserabilism is the great enemy all of us on the liberal posting app must fight every day you can get so much engagement for saying obviously false things that resonate with people who are extremely sad
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · yesterdayFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
As someone who had to make it through long-haul flights in the Eighties with one bad movie on a far-away screen, scratchy headsets, and the cloud of a smoking section in the rear, I would dispute that air travel has gotten worse.

can imagine the personal relationship between Senators Slotkin and El-Sayed going anywhere from “buddy cop movie” to “literal homicide”
Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 2d agoSlotkin tells me on Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens, “the most important thing is putting a check and balance on Donald Trump, so I will support whoever wins.”
I hope that this is just a reflection of primary season and it won’t be true in the leadup to November but the more time Democrats spend fighting over an issue that divides us (I/P) as opposed to talking about what unites us (saving the Republic), the more MAGA wins.
Edward Luce@edwardluce.bsky.social · 2d ago“Any Democrat associated with Aipac — a dwindling band — has a vanishing chance of becoming their party’s 2028 nominee.” Me on how Israel is splitting Dems. www.ft.com/content/07ae...
You ever have one of those moments where you dislike someone's sports takes and then they open their mouth on politics and confirm everything you ever thought about them?
This repetitive shit is like the Braves’ promises to acquire a front-line starting pitcher. Endless words, no results.
Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com · 2d agoUS President Donald Trump is pushing Iran to reach a deal with Oman on the Strait of Hormuz as soon as Tuesday, or face devastating air strikes on the country.

Trump is notoriously disloyal to the people around him and he has burned his bridges with Europe in a host of ways, so best of luck to you, Gianni! nypost.com/2026/08/03/b...
Exclusive | Under-fire FIFA boss Gianni Infantino begs Trump White House to save his job, set for talks with Marco Rubio: sources
Two sources familiar with the matter said the under-fire Swiss-Italian sports suit will hold a call with Donald Trump’s top diplomat just after 9am Eastern Time.

Sitcom People@sitcompeople.bsky.social · 4d agoWalt Weiss lifted Perez after seven innings. He had a shutout going and had thrown 78 pitches.
Lindsay Crosby, big baseball guy@crosbybaseball.bsky.social · 4d agoMartín Pérez's start is over, and what a start it was: 7IP, 1H, 0ER, 2BB/6Ks on 78 pitches (49 strikes). ERA is now 3.24. Lost the no-no in the 7th 11 whiffs and a 32% XSW, with an avg EV of just 85.3 mph and five hard-hit balls on his 17 BBEs. No doubt Player of the Game
I saw someone say they should have cut off the interview but this rant with the chyron below is brutal for him

A very serious Rural Politico once told me "Dems have to go to farmer meetings! We gotta be where the people are!" I was in fact in a farmer meeting at that very moment! So I live-texted him the meeting. They were complaining that they want indentured workers that they don't have to pay or feed.
Lucas Tieman@lucastieman.bsky.social · 6d agoThere would be more pushback if folks left of center were more serious about outreach. But folks aren't despite the fact that our system does give disproportionate power to rural areas. But instead of taking that as the rules of the game as it exists, and actually organizing, we complain about it.

I can't wait for Infantino to wrap himself in the cloak of anti-colonialism because they Europeans are not letting him proceed with a private equity deal.

This might be Graham's funeral, but it's Trump's show. There's one aspect of Teddy Roosevelt that Trump truly does embody. As Alice Longsworth Roosevelt famously said: "My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."
As I gripe about the Braves’ inability to add the second starter that would make the team a genuine contender in October, I read Philly fans vent and am reminded of the Tolstoy quote “each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
Joe Kearns@joekearns.bsky.social · last wk.I said it back in April and still feel this way now. Dave Dombrowski is the biggest problem with this Phillies team. He built a team that’s completely dependent on its starting pitchers and closer, surrounded them with abysmal defense and never took the lineup seriously.
Three Iowa players compared to one from Michigan and one from USC? I knew this was a Scott Dochterman production before I scrolled down to the name.
