I understood the Nats offseason choices at the time, so I can’t complain too much. But if this team had just spent a little on pitching then this season looks so different

A really good piece about anger and politics. It made me think how the elite successful politicians also tend to be happy warriors. People want fighters! But fighting FOR something and not just from rage can clarify choices. Plus you just win people over. There’s a reason Reagan won in a landslide

Everyone's angry all the time now, we spend out time on machines that are designed to make us mad. What's that doing to our judgment?

You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well-known is this: 'Never park the bus in the knockout rounds’

I’m cool with Matt Vasgersian, he’s not bad But small part of me does wish MLB & Netflix got Chris Berman back back back backback backbackback on the mic for the Derby for old times sake

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's your #LastFourWatched? This week I had a weak summer slasher, a solid 4th of July slasher*, a compelling love story, and the best darn sheep sleuths in the world *We as a country need more 4th of July themed horror!

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? I observed a zombified party time for my July 3rd tradition before heading to Amity for my annual July 4th viewing of my fave film, questioned the safety practices of some knuckleheads, and spied on a steamy surveillance thriller. #Letterboxd

this is absolutely wild. where does roberts think these agencies come from?!? who invested them with authority to act? whose mandate are they designed to execute? the president is the chief EXECUTive. his job is executing the will of Congress as it spells out in its duly-passed laws!

Yes, Congress should be able to do these things. A court this contemptuous of Congress deserves to be packed by Congress, not only to correct these disastrous precedents but also because Congress needs to show both Article II and Article III who’s boss.

“On her view, Congress could commandeer the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Ser-vices, most (if not all) of the Department of Justice, and a number of other agencies besides. Indeed, if Slaughter were correct, then it is not clear why Congress would need to allow the President any say in firings at all”

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's your #LastFourWatched? My week included: • A terrible 50s B movie • Bava’s classic first solo feature • A big dumb movie that was an absolute blast • And a Chuck Jones masterpiece

A screenshot of my last four films watched on Letterboxd. It show posters for: Space Master X-7 (1958), Black Sunday (1960), Deathstalker (2025), and Duck Amuck (1953)

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? Bruce Campbell's birthday week? Groovy. I tensed up from a botched heist, went over the moon as Bruce & Walter Koenig fought cyborgs, struck it rich w/ Alyssa Milano, & hit the road w/ Herbie the Love Bug. Hail to the King, baby. #Letterboxd
