Brooklyn-born transplant to San Francisco. Not clever enough to be a shitposter, not smart enough to be an expert on anything, not funny enough to be a comedian. Basically mid. Pro-Bay Area sportsball. Anti-GOP, Trump, Nazis. No DMs. Slava Ukraini!

UPS had seven months of warning about the de minimis change, but is still taking packages w/o getting required customs info & is making tariff charge errors.
Nice use of passive voice though!

i apologize using a passive voice. i was not born in london to a wealthy bank executive, sent to an exclusive private prep school in new hampshire, and then studied at harvard before larping as a champion of the people. you have to work with my low upbringing.

The original Grand Teton

TIL Christopher Columbus didn’t think the world was round, he thought it was a ball with one part rising to Christian Heaven, “like a woman’s nipple”

www2.latech.edu/~bmagee/212/...

Columbus speculated that the earth had a bulge, having the form of a pear (de la forma de una pera) or of a ball with a bulge like a woman's nipple (una teta de muger alli puesta; Textos 215). The world's
"nipple (peçón) was in the East, where he thought he was, along the equator (215). Because of its height, it was the part of the world closest to heaven.

I mean, he's not wrong about Schumer. Republicans are in the majority in both houses. They can end the shutdown today.

Not gonna link the troll but Bari Weiss clearly represents “thought police” more than 100,000 Bluesky leftists scolding you for writing a defense of Weiss ever will, and ignoring that reality is clearly designed to curry the favor of thought police. You’re not a free thinker, you’re the boot licker.

Also George should have mentioned that the reason the government is shut down is that the Speaker refuses to call the House into session.

Republicans control the government. Blaming Democrats for the shutdown is not just wrong, it’s stupid.

A nice, measured take. No notes.

You should have quit after the Lance Armstrong debacle.

Commentary: Armstrong biographer still doesn't get it

Sally Jenkins says Lance Armstrong and other riders popped for doping should be treated leniently, but to Fred Dreier, that's a garbage take.

Hey, don’t knock it, it made Bari rich.

Ed "Big Bones" Costanza @gojira65.bsky.social · 17h

LOL bari Weiss IS the thought police. Flanagan is a shitty, right-wing-fellating writer and always has been. If you really feel like it’s a “badge of honor” to be told your take sucks, maybe you need to find another line of work.

That screams for so much follow-up about why, then, they aren't leaving the status quo in place in these cases.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Why the “even as overdose deaths continue to climb”? Are national guard troops going to arrest all the drugs?

Are you fucking kidding me with this take? I’m amazed at how dumb it is. Have you been asleep in a cave for the past ten years?

Ed "Big Bones" Costanza @gojira65.bsky.social · 19h

Calling someone “communist” is probably the lamest insult you could hurl at someone in 2025. Republicans have been calling everyone and everything to the left of the 1956 GOP platform “communist” for the past 65 years.

Twice in that interview Vance uses the words “violate(d) a crime.” Is English his second language?

Politician and media challenge: please stop using the word “headwinds.” It makes it sound as though there’s some vague natural causes for these problems, rather than from choices made by our leaders. “Headwinds” are for planes, not politics.
