When Pilsner Urkel isn’t quite cutting it
I think he played for both teams about the same number of seasons but I knew Carlton Fisk as the white Sox catcher and had no idea he hit like a top three most famous HR in baseball history with a different team
Hartford Whaler Gordie Howe
I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”
3/4 of the time I’m on there I’m like man I didn’t even know this was a thing a person could care about!
Brother that is universal (and accurate!) pessimism
Younger cohorts are much more pessimistic
Channeling my inner @nytpitchbot.bsky.social here: Whether it’s Trump holding a decadent “Roarin’ Twenties” party as SNAP benefits expire or Dems saying “motherfucker,” both parties have trouble relating to the flyover states.
THIS MOTHERFUCKER HELD A GREAT GATSBY PARTY WHILE 43 MILLION PEOPLE GO HUNGRY AND HEALTHCARE COSTS KEEP RISING.
LinkedIn remains the absolute worst place on the internet lmao what the fuck is this
I think this legit happens in hockey
There should be a guy one each team whose only job is to fight. Like when the queen chooses a knight to fight in her name.
Gatsby, a story that famously ends well
In the midst of a government shutdown, as masked ICE agents roam America’s cities with impunity, with lines at food banks across the country growing, and farmers at risk as America bails out Argentina instead…

Donald Trump threw a Roaring 20s/Great Gatsby themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago.
Not the point here but literally every person who publicly advocates for ChatGPT ALWAYS adds “but I heavily edited” bc they inherently know they are embarrassing people doing an embarrassing thing
Please kill me
Facebook did this shit with Groups and made the site unusable.
This is great but why does every video now look like ai? Like the visual itself is weird.
I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.
Someone on here - can’t remember who but prob lots of folks tbh- always note the only thing these people actually care about is amassing and then using power.
1. A watershed moment.

The President of the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action, Kevin Roberts , has announced that the organization is standing by Tucker Carlson in the aftermath of Tucker’s interview with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.

This isn’t Kevin bending his knee to Trump…this is something new
Surprised to learn these unprincipled maniacs are unprincipled.
All the pundits and news outlets that bought into these schmucks’ transparent nonsense about antisemitism at the Ivies should reflect for a few minutes on how badly and easily they were played.

I know this reinforces a narrative about condescending leftists calling all conservatives bigots but I'm sorry, every form of data — anecdotes, polling and public statements by conservatives — indicate that these are the main drivers.

It's a doomed quest to keep looking for good underneath evil.
Worth noting Rep Clay Higgins continues to get paid during the shutdown
Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

Bro who’s gonna deliver Christmas presents
is this good
Bernie is great but posts like he’s the town crier
15 Republican senators have now joined all 47 members of the Democratic caucus on legislation to extend SNAP benefits during the shutdown.

In all, 62 senators are on this bill.

I say to Majority Leader Thune: Don't let kids go hungry in America. Call a vote on this bill NOW!
Sometimes you need the heavens to show you the way brother
Not signing up for the free trial to read this bullshit but like what are you doing here
