@evanwch Covering for a prick. As long as he’s on your side politically all is good, right? Good for you!

@mikefoley @nicolas_pillet @NASASpaceflight Bondo will do the job

@aminJml @KaterynaLis I assume she'd say the same thing if Russia was attacking and trying to overpower Somalia.

@steve242448 @theactualgabyh1 @IndianaFever She missed four out of six. Clark missed 11 out of 17. I guess she misses almost every shot she took too.

[Todd Pedlar @tkped]

@steve242448 @amycas @IndianaFever She made 2/6, which is about the same percentage as Clark.

@shanevanderhart He owns a farm... but to be fair, he's not a farmer. (any more than Scott Bessent is)

@NSkjodt @KalshiPolitics Treating betting markets as serious measures of probability of outcomes is ignorant. You can't translate the amount of money bet on the Knicks to win the NBA Championship as any indication of what their probability of winning is. Same goes here (and it's far more problematic)

@TheLittleRedFez @jimgeraghty No, just a moderately well educated person.

@ravenn_sixx @ESPNFC @fifamedia Expect a game whose start time is stated as 8:00 to kick off at 9:27

[Todd Pedlar @tkped]

@NSkjodt @KalshiPolitics Maybe so - but in the case of prediction markets the stated probabilities are meaningless

@LDKid @thomaschattwill I’m not counting in the first part of the video. Look how many hops and steps he takes after he’s gathered the ball.

@gmarua0 @RpsAgainstTrump Never had that experience abroad anywhere during the Trump years - all I ever experience is sympathy.

@MallardBruce @RpsAgainstTrump That monstrosity is about as attractive as (and equivalent to) a broken-down 1977 AMC Gremlin sitting up on concrete blocks with long grass sticking up through the holes in the floorboards.

[Todd Pedlar @tkped]

@JellyKind @RpsAgainstTrump spray-painted plastic, you mean. I doubt seriously that there's actually any gold on the walls of the Oval Office.

[Todd Pedlar @tkped]

@gmarua0 @RpsAgainstTrump Um, yes. Plenty of Americans realize this. Many (not most) are in denial about it, though.

[Todd Pedlar @tkped]

@ArnoldAtonem @gmarua0 @RpsAgainstTrump "most americans" didn't elect him, though.

@AFP Your final negotiations have been going on for weeks, bozo.
