@itsflixtalk @TMZ Yes! This is getting to a level she won't be able to come back from, I fear. Seen this too many times...

@TMZ A menagerie of every kind of white trash known to man. Hope NatGeo had a photographer there to document the surprising diversity. It's not all just trailer park meth heads anymore!

NBA champion coach Mike Brown played on Mesa Community College’s 1989-90 team that won 30 consecutive games with GCU President Brian Mueller as assistant coach.

“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.

the world needs the strait of hormuz reopened. should have happened months ago, but today’s outcome is the best option available.

having said that, iran war has been a disaster. no agreement on nukes, ballistic missiles, support for proxies…and one of the world’s most brutal regimes remains in place…and is getting paid off.

biggest foreign policy failure of trump administration by a long margin.

@PdotChan Glad you got it sorted out!

@Timodc What a massive fall from grace for Axios from the Swan days during Trump's 1st term to the admin mouthpieces running the beat today. It's a damn shame, too, because all the good info is locked up in the NYT machine again.

This is how the Japanese national team left its locker room after beating Germany in Qatar 2022 👏

In America, a warehouse store. A fully roasted chicken costs five dollars, the raw chicken beside it costs seven, and I stood between them like a man between two truths.

Golden. Hot. Seasoned. Spinning in glory under the lights, in a line of its brothers. Four dollars and ninety-nine cents.

I checked the raw birds. Seven dollars. Pale. Cold. You must do everything yourself.

This is not commerce. Commerce does not move backward. Somewhere in this building, mathematics lies defeated.

I asked the man at the counter. "How is the cooked bird cheaper than the raw bird?"

"Been five bucks forever. They keep it that way."

"But the store loses."

"Yep. On purpose."

On purpose. I held my receipt with both hands.

In my land, a lord who lowered the price of rice in a hard winter was remembered for generations. They built him a small shrine. This store does it every day, with chicken, and tells no one.

A woman behind me grew tired of my reverence. "It's just a chicken, sir."

It is not just a chicken. It is a wound the merchant takes on purpose, so that anyone, on any day, with five dollars, eats like a lord. The bird is the message. The price is the vow.

I will confess: I bought two. I did not need two. The second was not hunger. It was gratitude, and it was delicious.

Some prices are not prices. They are promises.

I return every week now. I take one bird. I bow toward the deli, briefly, so as not to alarm the staff. They have begun nodding back.

The vow holds. The bird turns. Five dollars.

Long may it spin.

@THR This show was tedious and forgettable. Great premise! Painfully slow and boring execution. I get that not everything needs to be thrilling, but there was no payoff for the investment. It inspires having a second screen available, which is bad for a mystery box show.

Susan Collins clearly has strong relationships with many prolific members of the mainstream press. Good for her! Yet none of these widely published hit pieces about Platner rise to the threat level of Collins' "concerned" enabling of Trump's mass-cruelty agenda.

[Joe Wrote @joewrote]

@AaronRegunberg People are missing the Times' admission that they read all her texts and messages from this time, and they found no corroboration. They even read her diary. Nothing. All they found was a text saying she wanted to campaign for Collins.

@MeghanMcCain I know you love Tulsi, but she absolutely was used as a patsy for Trump's election denying nonsense. Weird that you pretend she wasn't. These people aren't loyal to you ... Why debase yourself for them?

This song is one of my favorite poems … And You know what? I decided F it. Why not release this song just like it is? Solo acoustic from this session. No fancy production. Just raw. Tonight at midnight. Hope you enjoy.

@box5angel Yes! It's a Nebraska classic and it's super good. Great chili recipes include cinnamon, and cornbread is a common side everywhere else, so it's really not as weird as it sounds. Try it sometime!
