Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

So rare, so terrific. Good for him.
Mike Finger@mikefinger.bsky.social · last wk.Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company. “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”
Not sure I totally get the joke, but love the daring way they've refreshed Bazooka Joe.
Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.
And, in "It never gets old" territory, this from tenured pundit:
To follow up here, Coach *actually uttered* the words shown below in the Capitol yesterday. I do not know of a STUPIDER thing ever uttered in the Capitol before. More biased or wrong-headed, sure. But as moronic? I'm not aware of any. (Unlike Coach, I know the aviation world. This is absurd.)

Powerful piece. Downstream of Trump and Hegseth is a lot of toxic waste.
Annalinda Stewart@anna-linda.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhat is Mr. Trump really costing us? A lot. Not the least of which, our daughters. The consequences of his influence are real, tragic and will endure for generations to come. The end of my family's American story is now part of his legacy, and his alone. annalinda2.substack.com/p/narrative-...

It's pretty damn impressive how much ground Mayor Mamdani has been able to cover after only nine months in office on a wide range of basic quality-of-life issues in NYC. I was reading through the numbers this morning, and they're kinda astonishing. (thread)
