I'm an idiot. You can ask anybody.

Also a writer for @TheDailyGopher.

the fact he may carve out time to attend two basketball games merely weeks after saying he didn’t have time to attend his own son’s wedding is objectively hilarious 😂

This is an actual page on the White House web site. It reads like something written about a third world dictator. So embarrassing. I have not seen any branch of the federal government sink this low in my lifetime.

Not driving in Bazzana after that leadoff triple really hurts now. Especially because you had no outs and had Jose, DeLauter and Manzardo following.

“AI is not going anywhere” is a PR line from a gen AI company press release that’s trying to make their bad broken technology seem inevitable. It’s bullshit. Please stop repeating it.

At least 97 people Trump gave clemency for Jan. 6 have been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of crimes unrelated to Jan. 6 since that day five years ago.

Good piece on the reality that Trump actually sucks at negotiating and making deals. He said he would end the war between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours. How's that going? He's losing the war with Iran. The only thing he is good at is manipulating the media.

I do feel like they would quickly learn to do the readings if you started giving them failing grades for not doing the reading

Every day there’s something to remind us we live amongst millions of idiots. Went in that voting booth and chose “big dummy” on purpose

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

It seems there is an entirely different set of rules for Republicans and Democrats.

@lukebuer So this new era is a destruction of that perception.

College sports, football in particular, is driven more nakedly now by money and greed. And I think that turns people off.

[Blake Ruane @blakeruane]

@lukebuer I think people romanticized college athletics to a degree prior to NIL and the transfer portal. It was an amateur sport, driven less by money and more by "a love for the game." Was that perception reality, though? Probably not. But you could more easily convince yourself of it.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

The most darkly funny aspect of this video is that Ivanka Trump speaks as if she went on some profound, prolonged spiritual and philosophical journey to ascertain the meaning of life, and concluded that the most elevated human state is to live on a gigantic private island in the Mediterranean, in a sprawling mansion paid for with the billions of dollars given to her husband by the Saudis and Emiratis to ensure favorable treatment by him and by her dad in their exercise of the powers of the American Presidency. Real uplifting stuff. 🙏
