I'd say if you are handed an opponent who killed 400,000 people, stole classified documents, was a convicted felon, a rapist, and fomented a coup to overturn his previous loss, then can't beat him because of your own fucking disorganization, quit.

If you leave one magazine job and go write a book, apparently for a major publisher, and you deliver your manuscript and take another magazine job less than a year later, when did the exile part happen, exactly?

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

Had an affair with her source and all she got was a book deal, a cushy Vanity Fair editing gig and a year off. Real tough to be “exiled” these days

I cannot *personally* imagine this, but one of the things I love about baseball is that there are sickos who will do this.

He got hit by a pitch in 7.8% of his plate appearances that year.

The league average walk rate that season was 8.2%

Absolute mad man.

Sometimes I wonder at how many Republican assholes realize -not would be surprised- how many people will celebrate when it happens for them, simply because they made their goal in life to make things more difficult for people.

Justice Thomas has been the leading voice against substantive due process for decades. So I am just shocked - shocked! - to find him joining a statement where parents have fundamental rights over their kids' identity in disregard of various customs, traditions, and history.

Chris Geidner @chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 22h

NEW: The Supreme Court will not hear a case over a Colorado school district’s alleged actions discouraging disclosure of students’ gender identity to the students’ parents.

The case was a bad vehicle for considering the issue, even Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch note.

Same, but for Jed Hoyer.

Then today I read someone stupid enough to think the Cubs would sign Alex Bregman.

In any other profession a 10% or 20% success rate would end your career.

If you’re raising your kids out in the suburbs, one day they’re going to ask you while you’re out for a walk, why your neighbors all have empty, mildewed plastic boxes that say “The Washington Post” bolted to their mailbox posts.
