These guys:

Execrable baseball commentators A. J. Pierzynski, Adam Wainwright and the phenomenally horrible Adam Amin on the horrible Fox ALDS broadcast

Man, it’s a pretty low bar: live your life such that Jane Goodall doesn’t want to launch you into space.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The best, most succinct description of the genesis of this gathering: "It was a cheap imitation of Tony Soprano if the fictional New Jersey mob boss had been a complete idiot."

Charlotte Clymer @charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 10d

"That was the whole point of the event. It had nothing to do with improving our national security and military readiness. It was a role-play session for undeserving straight, white guys who could never hack it and resent those who could."

For the Smallest Men in the World

And a celebration of them.

Weak. Weird. Authoritarian. Creepy. Incompetent. Unconstitutional.

Yes please, more of this.

Weak. Call them weak, use that word specifically, name it for what it is

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

If you like infrastructure, the port of Cleveland and the nearby ports of Conneaut, Ashtabula, Lorain, Sandusky and Toledo have really cool maritime facilities as well as plenty of trains, cargo loading facilities, etc.

Judge Young writes at length about ICE agents wearing masks, for which the agency admitted at trial there's no policy—and a practice he finds "dishonorable."

He compares the practice to the masked terror of the Klu Klux Klan, which @sifill.bsky.social has written about.

Screenshot, which reads in part:

"To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police. Carrying on in this fashion, ICE brings indelible obloquy to this
administration and everyone who works in it."
