Yet another scandal unprecedented in American history.

Either Trump is senile and doesn’t recall issuing the pardon or a staffer issued it without Trump’s knowledge. Doesn’t matter which. Both are reason enough to remove him from office.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

I've been rewatching old network shows and you know what, i'm gonna say it, i miss 23 ep seasons. I do!! Let me sit with stuff, give me some filler eps, let me have eps that are just there to build character moments, i miss it!!

The Penguin is really good, I’m glad I watched it, but my god am I fucking over the eight episode miniseries format. Leads to writing problems and pacing problems every time.

$5M in Shein stock is crazy. to put it in perspective, a child would have to work three billion hours in a Shein factory to earn a 1/10000th of this

This is encouraging!

A vaccine given to breast cancer patients 20 y ago has kept them alive. The 5 yr relative survival rate of women w/ metastatic cancer is 32%.

This vaccine elicited long term immune responses.

It is too expensive to be antivax.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

WE MUST REDISTRIBUTE CAPITAL RESOURCES THROUGHOUT OUR SOCIETY.

urgently.

Sex, however, is not a resource, it’s an experience that people can choose to have with each other, if everybody involved consents.

Pete’s sake.

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more

that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Did you happen to leave your @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk purchases on the Metropolitan line yesterday?

Did one of your friends do this and send an anguished message to the group chat?

If so, Darren has just done you a very good turn. 👇

If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

This has been my thing for ages: Let's see these centrist thinktanks actually fucking WIN a purple or red race BEFORE we let them try to tell us how we need to win purple or red races. THEY DON'T! THEY ALWAYS LOSE THE EXACT TYPE OF RACES THEY TRY TO TELL US HOW TO WIN!

For my newsletter, I took a deeper look at the electoral record of WelcomePAC, a centrist group that produced that 352 page document advising Democrats to moderate once again.

Turns out the campaigns they work for aren't winning. www.burnsnotice.com/fire-the-con...

the thing about this offseason is that owners are gonna push a lot of narratives and propaganda to make it seem like "buying championships" is a bad thing when that's actually just y'know appropriate compensation for players. they have been on this for months already. media literacy is so important.

I have watched as so-called "compromise" positions on transgender people's rights have failed over and over--in statehouses, the Biden White House, and in liberal rhetoric. There is no middle ground acceptable to the politicians, activists, and billionaires obsessed with trans people and our lives.
