On Civil War and the outlandish hyperbole at its center that is just exhaustingly real now

Marvel’s Civil War at 20 Month-by-Month: July 2006 Month 3 of Civil War solidifies there is only one right side in the war between Iron Man and Captain America.

Btw Abdul El Sayed is another victory for the Ms. Rachel endorsement. Perhaps the most powerful endorsement in politics??

I'm listening to Jon Stewart's interview with John Fetterman, and this guy is straight up lying. He is claiming he has never betrayed a promise to be "pro immigrant," and then immediately starts spouting Republican talking points about "deporting all the criminals".

Lots of great Quality of Life improvements in today's Pokopia update. Some very small annoyances revised and other big frustrations addressed. www.ign.com/articles/pok...

Thanks for letting me know it was hot, Peco. I really appreciate it, I hadn't noticed. tuxedo_mask_my_work_here_is_done.jpg

"That is not our country" is such a simple statement of fact about the weird relationship our politicians have to Israel and literally no other foreign nation. I am also glad that Stewart didn't just push back on Fetterman's childish claim that Israel is the same as "The Jewish people" but scoffed

This went a little different than his nightly interviews with Sean Hannity.

Well they are also cheaters who put half their pitchers on the IL with phantom injuries so they're rested for October and can have a completely different bullpen in the playoffs

The Dodgers are without question the most talented team and most likely to win the World Series Also, over last 30 days, they have 5th-worst bullpen ERA (5.16), are 20th in runs scored, & have maybe the weakest right-now C situation Both things are true, it's why baseball rules

I endorse this podcast!

I will still be posting episodes of my podcast, the schedule is sporadic but I love doing it so this will continue semi-regularly. bestissueever.podbean.com

The Republican party line is that they stand with sexually and physically abusive pedophiles.

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

the Michigan primary was close enough that you can pretty plausibly say it was the weird voice that lost it for Haley Stevens

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

Listen, I don't know the facts but I suspect Gritty might be involved

When you are rich you can just say things and people feel the need to put it on the news.

My God someone is framing the Phillie Phanatic's best friend for sabotaging the Phillies bats and making them lose games. The Phillie Phanatic would NEVER how could anyone even entertain this absurd accusation

Last week Luke and I started reading theee junior chapter books called “Ballpark Mysteries” where a couple kids solve silly little mysteries at real MLB ballparks and Luke is loving them. We were at a community fair today and he won a prize from the library booth… the Citizens Bank Park book!

Listen I have no problem paying local taxes for my community. I am simply asking that you make it clear how to file and document those payments so that you’re not reaching out to me 3 years later demanding late payment on taxes I paid

Outspent by a huge margin, but only won by a healthy margin. You need that huge margin of victory. Don't you know, nothing's ever good enough

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

Forgot what happened the last time Phillies faced Tarik Skubal and I now believe they will win the World Series

honestly, the fact that we have made it through the atomic age *without* another use of nuclear weapons since 1945 is a miracle we don't fully appreciate

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

This story will freak you out. So it seems like a good day to read it I guess if you haven’t

Mark Russell@manruss.bsky.social · 19h ago

Literary fun fact: the Ray Bradbury short story There Will Come Soft Rains was set on August 4th, 2026.

Score one point for being mean to a weird off putting lady on da internet

Weird to see people talking about the Michigan Senate primary ending tonight. It will never end

Not being able to score when Bohm singles and Stott doubles is a problem

hahahahaha "The judge hearing the antitrust case seeking to block the Paramount–Warner Bros. merger has scheduled the trial for March 2027. The scheduling matters a lot to Paramount, which will begin paying Warner Bros. shareholders $7 million a day on Sept. 30 until the deal is complete."

Ok gotta give it up to Trea Turner that was a hell of a play

Kyle Schwarber is so lousy right now they’d actually be better off with him sitting out for a few games to recover from whatever is bothering him
