Be happy and a reason will come along. My goal is to spread at least one positive thought a day on here.

I feel bad for the younger generations who never watched Brady play.

Tom Brady’s super powers aren’t going to be flashy on 30 second clips. He didn’t out run guys or throw 60 yard passes on the run. All plays that make great highlights.

What he was best at was objectively boring; pocket presence, taking what the defense gave him, pre snap adjustments, accuracy. Death by 1000 cuts

But these are all the qualities that made him better than any other QB in NFL history and it’s something that is impossible to convey in today’s short form media

when you're so embarrassed by your own team that you have to pretend it's the other team

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

This is fascinating to me, because beyond the surface level it illuminates why conservatives are often so full of shit.

The baseline here is that there's a heatwave, and Mamdani asked New Yorkers to adjust their thermostats to help the grid. This is regular practice in red and blue areas of the country. Daniel posts a defiant "I'm not gonna do what mommy tells me!" style post. He surely thinks he's a very clever boy here.

Now if the message is "This is a free country, and I love my AC, and by god it's my house and no government bureaucrat can force me to change", then fine. Sure. But there is no law being proposed here. No police are bursting down your door demanding to check your thermostat. It's a request from a community leader, a polite ask that you engage in a very small pro-social sacrifice.

You would think conservatives would understand the idea that local communities should pull together in times of need. For the 'common good', perhaps. You'd think. And that they'd be happy if no government force was involved, if they could act merely because they had strong moral character and believed in private charitable action.

"Nobody should ever ask anyone to sacrifice for the common good, even if it's just a polite request" is just dipshit nihilism.

But I suspect Daniel doesn't actually believe in those conservative ideas. Or if he does, they're a distant second to the true guiding star of conservative thought: owning the libs. Given the chance to help people or own the libs, conservatives will always own the libs. Given the chance to demonstrate strong principles or own the libs, they'll always abandon the principle to own the libs. The actual philosophy of the right is merely "We hate the left". And it's sad.

Name a better take than this on the Iran war, I’ll wait.

["Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @BretDevereaux]

I honestly wonder who thought it was a good idea, on the anniversary of D-Day, to have a speech in which the Secretary's own ideology is set in metaphorical parallel to the Nazis opposing the beaches being stormed on D-Day.

2 Democratic States have redrawn, both with a mandate from the people.

5 Republicans States (soon to be 6) have redrawn without a single person getting a vote.

Both sides are not the same.

Pretty crazy draft night. Didn’t see this coming, thank you.

Mamdani: if you have a house in NYC that you don’t live in that is worth over $5 million, you have to pay an extra tax on it

First Republicans tried to violently overthrow the government in order to win an election. Then they ordered states to redistrict in the middle of the decade. So Democrats said OK let’s redistrict. Now Republicans are pissed. It must really suck to be a Nazi and have your victims actually fight back.

“you raise your voice, i erase your voice” is about as succinct of a description of a fascist government as i could possibly write, and i’m a professional writer

This is a terrible look for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. No other way to say it.

You can tell these people aren’t actually religious because if they were they’d actually be worried about going to hell

Executed by the U.S. government

[Dan Kanninen @dkanninen]

I warn folks here not to watch if you aren’t prepared.

But the second video really does show how this really played out. He was filming. They pepper sprayed him without cause, tackled him, and then executed him.

Then they lied about it and confiscated witness phones to try to cover this up.

There is no other way to see this.

[Nobel Peace Center @NobelPeaceOslo]

The #NobelPeacePrize medal.

It measures 6.6 cm in diameter, weighs 196 grams and is struck in gold. On its face, a portrait of Alfred Nobel and on its reverse, three naked men holding around each other’s shoulders as a sign of brotherhood. A design unchanged for 120 years.

Did you know that some Nobel Peace Prize medals have been passed on after the award was given? A well‑known case is Dmitry Muratov’s medal, which was auctioned for over USD 100 million to support refugees from the war in Ukraine.

And the medal displayed at the Nobel Peace Center is actually on loan and originally belonged to Christian Lous Lange, Norway’s first Peace Prize laureate.

But one truth remains. As the Norwegian Nobel Committee states: “Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time.”

A medal can change owners, but the title of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate cannot.

Jon Stewart just hit it out of the park with the Trump’s administration’s blatant hypocrisy… makes you wonder why they want us so heated and fighting… 🤔
