one thing that people didn't appreciate enough about mike tomlin is that aaron rodgers kept his dumb mouth shut all season last year but now that tomlin's gone, hoo boy here we go
It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better
"Did you make that ad for the military using that bad-ass Bible verse?" "The one from the book where a prophet warns that God is sending military defeat and warns against abusing the poor and powerless? Sure did, boss! Real fuckin' sexy, just like you wanted!"

whenever someone tells you that it's simply impossible for police to be charged with misconduct or criminal charges, you can tell they're wrong because some cops do get charged regularly — when they are whistleblowers or reformers prosecutors are actually extremely eager to help drum them out!

Trump 2 has shown that the bulk of federal, state, and local "law enforcement" don't perform any useful functions at all. If they did, it would not be so easy to re-task them to brainless gestapo work like rounding up whole neighborhoods and waiting outside public buildings.
Melissa Gira Grant@melissagiragrant.com · 6d agoI wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.
Once again asking where the advocacy groups and think tanks are on this because elected officials are not going to get there on their own.

if an elite lobbying effort can convince you that you have to ban trans people from sports to survive in politics you straightforwardly do not have it in you to pass electoral reform, or stand up to the fossil fuel lobby, or do any of the difficult things that have to be done

I'm not against poor people having better access to food, my only concern is that 5 city run grocery stores are going to put 5000 supermarkets and 10,000 bodegas out of business by selling discounted eggs
my feelings on this are pretty straightforward: if you have a problem with poor people having greater access to less expensive food then you’re a fucking psycho.
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · last wk.Weird how much discourse around the Mamdani grocery stores ignores the existence of the Green Cart intiative (launched under Bloomberg) that provides subsidized fruit and vegetable stands across the city under the exact same logic as the grocery stores
we should charge the C-suite with fraud and theft if they take a tax credit meant to keep people employed and then cut staff anyway.

if there’s any clear indication of elite impunity it’s the fact that the mainstream press has moved Ross Douthat toward increasingly visual formats
Oliver Darcy@oliverdarcy.bsky.social · last wk.Scoop: I’m told that Ross Douthat is exiting The NYT and is expected to take a role at “60 Minutes.” News expected to be announced soon.

Dean Obeidallah@deanobeidallah.bsky.social · last wk.Democratic National Committee is horribly struggling. Republican National Committee is sitting on nearly $130 million. While DNC is $2 million in debt. Bad management of DNC but also another sign that the energy in the Dem base is for change--not the establishment. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/26/u...
This post got a lot of traction on Twitter, and it's driving me nuts because this IS what "trans activists" have been saying for years and years. It's impossible to have a discussion on this topic when people refuse to acknowledge what one side is actually arguing.

Yes, the Problems are bad, but this is no time for radical things like Solutions
Blingee ruled because the joke was “look at this stupid piece of shit I took time and effort to make.” People using AI to make shit have taken away not only the punchline, but the effort. All that’s left is the shit.

probably a real market opportunity for someone to open up a retail store chain that operates as they did 20 years ago.
It's down on the list but this is another reason the electoral college needs to go, like "I'M PUNISHING THE BLUE STATE OF CALIFORNIA" makes no fucking sense
