Opinion | I was in the House for many government funding fights. Chuck Schumer did the right thing.

Schumer understood things could get much worse for federal employees and congressional Democrats during a shutdown.

These guys are so bad at this. It’s past time for new leadership. If you don’t want to fight @schumer.senate.gov, get out of the way.

It's hilarious to me that dumb investors think that Tesla's collapsing stock is due to a *lack of attention* from the CEO. You mean the same CEO that has had eight other jobs, spent hours shitposting on Xitter, and allegedly does hardcore gaming? All of this was before the fake government job.

If you think your job is pointless, just remember that someone is spending hours putting together informational reels targeting Trump voters telling them that what he is doing is bad.

I guess it’s time to do a clean break from the past era. Tough.

Breaking: Seattle is sending WR DK Metcalf to the Steelers, sources tell Adam Schefter. Seattle is receiving a second round pick and flipping picks in the sixth and seventh rounds.

Others: Certainly people can discern complex matters in politics, navigate nuanced situations, and not just spend an entire lifetime reflexively reacting to every dumb thing with their lizard brain. Me: You sure about that? www.oregonlive.com/trending/202...

There are lots of things to get outraged about these days but children dying of an easily preventable disease because of vaccine misinformation AND the fact that a prominent anti-vaxxer is now head of U.S. HHS infuriates me. What. The. Fuck. apnews.com/article/meas...

An unvaccinated child has died in the Texas measles outbreak

A child who was not vaccinated has died from measles in West Texas. It's the first death in an outbreak that began late last month and the first from measles in the U.S. since 2015.

I've done very well betting against Izzo in March since 2021. His teams are playing too close against sub-par competition and that's not a good sign for avoiding an early tourney bounce.

Wow, look at all the concessions Trump got from Canada. Wait, the date of this release was last year. How can that be? www.canada.ca/en/public-sa...

Eff me #RCTID

I can't believe news organizations are fact-checking Trump on his statements about Ukraine starting the war with Russia. It happened three years ago and it is a basic fact that Russia rolled in with tanks. What else do we need the NYT to fact-check? The Earth's shape? 1+1=2?

Imposter syndrome is far too self-aware for what I have. I'm just going to call it Bon Jovi-ing, which is just me livin' on a prayer when I do any piece of work ever.

“I thought they were going to hurt others, not me” is such a depressingly common and stupid view that won't be disappearing anytime soon. When choose a candidate based on who they hate, you should expect it

All these leagues have to stop screwing with the All Star Games. Just do an exhibition game. No stakes, whoever is selected and wants to play, let’s do it. It was fun to watch people who didn’t play with one another play together. Stop trying to make it into a real game.
