Genuinely don’t like the fact that one of the most sure fire ways to go viral or get validation in this modern era is to be cynical.

You give up the game before it even starts, you lose.

You don’t have to irrationally optimistic but “lol nothing matters” isn’t better.
Online comedians with the most followers are the most nihilistic people I’ve ever heard in my life

They sound like walking SI symptoms, and people love it — because they understand a similar misery

huge game for priors. not only are the eagles making the steelers look relatively good, their fans are making yinzers look almost rational. almost

All I’m saying, the Steelers only lost to Chicago by three.

Just once I want these idiot doomers to explain how the federal government can nationally cancel elections that they themselves dont run and they have basically no control over at the state level.

BIG WEEKEND: The Penguins have a chance to grab four big points as they take on two struggling teams this weekend. @hunterhodies.bsky.social has the day off, and I'm flying solo on Locked On Penguins.

Get ready for CBJ and Toronto with me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJwD...

trump is sloppier, slower, and more uninhibited this time around, and it's having and will continue to have political consequences for him within the party, he's an asshole and a loser losing his grip, and at least *some* republicans can smell it on him
h/t @adamwren.bsky.social

Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."

I mean we're replaying all the hits:

Trump 2028.

It's like all the shit he does when he's not happy with what's in the news.

Always important to bear in mind that Truth Social posts do not have the force of law and sometimes Trump just says he’s doing things and nothing actually happens.
Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.”

He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation.

(He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)

Just a couple days to go and I’m less than $300 away from my Movember goal of $1,500.

Bluesky pals, wanna help me out?

STEALING! How could you?! Haven’t you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church, Captain Whathisname?!

Whoa. Woke up to find Baltimore lost to Cincinnati by 18 at home on a Thursday?

Clearly the coach is just ok with the same results.

Really shows how Schottenheimer was able to reach him, imo.
Great effort by George on that interception.

Let’s all go around the table and say one word we’re thankful for.

This is particularly ridiculous when 1)as a prominent reporter/podcaster with the Times these were basically the only topics Astead covered in 2024 (as part of a major drumbeat of coverage) and 2)he "mysteriously" lost interest in the subjects of presidential age and popularity in January 2025
