This Knicks team overcame the festering stench of Donald Trump. I think that gives them legitimate claim to the title of the best team of all time. Long may they reign. KNICKS now KNICKS forever!

I wouldn't panic yet, but I definitely wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs win four in a row to take the championship after Turd Fingers Trump spewed his bad mojo all over MSG tonight.

Law & Order candidates are never focused on upholding the constitution, enforcing established law universally, or providing safety. It is always a guise to use the power of the state, army, and/or police to crush and destroy people and ideas they don't agree with or are in opposition to. Always.

The downballot has come to play. Virginia dems (and really all democrats in the nation) step up your game immediately. The future of the nation depends on it.

We don't ordinarily publish posts at [checks watch] 8:51 PM on a Friday night, but state constitutional law expert Quinn @yeargain.bsky.social has an outside-the-box idea for reversing the VA Supreme Court that is very much worth taking seriously: Dems can simply lower the retirement age.

Sadly this level of scientific loss will not only be felt by those who voted for this (or those that weakly refused to vote against it)...but for those two groups, I do hope that every preventable death from these losses lays like an anchor around your conscious.

This means that hundreds, if not thousands of labs all over the country will close. Tens of thousands of jobs will be lost. This is in defiance of Congress's will and in defiance of good stewardship of the US economy. This is entirely because Russ Vought hates science

Perhaps the biggest reason why dems are not respected/taken seriously/disliked...scared to do anything, even if its popular. If you won't stand up, defend, and support democracy and the country why would you expect people to stand up, defend, and support you? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social I ask you.

Going to try and take a break from the deluge of depression from around the world for the next couple of days and post my Best of 2025 for music. Ideally this would coincide with a lengthy post on substack, diving deeper into these choices, but I'll just be too exhausted to do that. Stay tuned.

This is the domestic terrorist from today's tragedy in Minnesota, not that woman who died. He will be the domestic terrorist tomorrow and the domestic terrorist at the end of the week because this country is run by domestic terrorists.

Five years ago today, one of the worst incidents in American history occurred. At the time I thought this was surely the bottom but I was wrong. It has only gotten worse with an insurrectionist in the white house and throngs on people who continue to support him, in spite of or because of this event
