The key thing to remember is we are governed by vindictive morons.

Cool they studied it but this is my hood and pretty much anyone who lives here could have told them it was a squirrel and saved the effort.

Chuck Schumer should be focused on fighting Donald Trump and protecting healthcare for millions of Americans, not meddling in a Maine primary.

DC's choice has lost to Susan Collins five times in a row. We can't afford a sixth.

We maybe owe an apology to the musclehead who thought a week had 8 days in it.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

The best description of Chicago sports I ever heard was 'It's not 2025, it's the 480th month of 1985*."

Now I know how that fortysomething guy felt I told him last year: 'Beatles.. you know because 'beat' is a basic unit of music'

Oh I don't feel that old either. But realizing I've been watching baseball for 50 years really felt like a bit of a tap on the shoulder from the grim reaper.

Same. Even the 50 years (which hurts because when you type it out it's hard to ignore that you're that old).

Pretty sure not many people in the US are paying attention to CONCACAF qualifying because we‘re hosts but the three group leaders in the final round halfway thru are Suriname, Curaçao and Haiti.

It’s Joncacaf @jonarnoldfc.bsky.social · 2d

🇸🇷 Suriname had a rich soccer history cut short by tragedy & turmoil.

Now, Dutch-Surinamese players are looking to carry on the legacy of the players that came before them - becoming local heroes in the process.

My piece from Paramaribo for @espn.com: www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Dutch-born players are making Suriname's World Cup dreams a reality

Thanks to a recent change in FIFA rules, Suriname is drawing on its Dutch lineage to fuel a fight for a place in the 2026 World Cup.

I know it’s the most obvious thing in the world but it’s really sad that so many people have absolutely no desires or dreams in life except to accumulate money and our entire world is becoming a fucking pit because of it
