I am very excited for this #nba

Sam Kamin @sjkamin.bsky.social · 1h

If you’re a negroni / amaro / bitter flavors fan (I am!) it might be enjoyable (it is!)

I’ve seen it a little more widely available outside of Maine since bougie retro soda became a “thing”

Trying to court martial Kelly would put Hegseth way out over his skis

Sam Kamin @sjkamin.bsky.social · 1h

The word comes from the soda (not the other way around) - it takes moxie to drink Moxie

Mostly because it tastes like a mix of Dr. Pepper and cough syrup

I'm just going to start using "BUT WITH THAT FRESH LOBSTER SANDWICH" anytime anyone says anything EVER

BREAKING: Comey case dismissed without prejudice. Halligan invalidly appointed, judge rules. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Oooh had either forgotten or didn’t know that about Arike. Good point!

Either way - lots of great options for the Lynx, and hoping ownership gets their shit together enough to start the season on time. Pay ‘em!!!

Sam Kamin @sjkamin.bsky.social · 20h

Yeah, more that there’s no space for her in the backcourt there with Paige and Arike.

But CLEARLY talented enough for first overall for sure. This NCAAW season will probably lead to some shuffling in the mock drafts, etc.

Sam Kamin @sjkamin.bsky.social · 20h

No disrespect to Azzi (as I’m a huge fan and would want the Lynx to take her first) but if the Wings take her you have to think it would be for personal and not professional reasons…and that would be WILD.

In 7th gr, a friend was so excited to have successfully completed his Comma Rules presentation that he jumped in the air to celebrate. But on the way down, alas, he brushed his elbow against the whiteboard and erased a crucial punctuation mark.

Teacher failed him.

A Gramatical error indeed.

Fun fact: LaGrange Park, IL - McCarthy’s hometown - is only a 3 hour drive from Lambeau.

Minneapolis is over 4 hours.

Just sayin’

I know it’s only one state over, but it’s gonna be a long trip home for JJ McCarthy

comedy is all we’ve got at this point

Sam Kamin @sjkamin.bsky.social · 1d

Good punt Ryan but we’re gonna need you to doink it right off the returner’s head next time

“Support Our Troops” crowd is awfully silent about Trump placing soldiers in this position

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 1d

Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.*

The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so:

AOC fan *because* of her pragmatism checking in

(Point still stands though)

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 1d

Also, it goes to my longstanding point I have learned covering her: AOC is far more pragmatic than her detractors and her fans think because she is interested in advancing policy outcomes.

AOC built her own political machine. Now she’s deciding her next move.

Seven years after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leapt onto the national stage as an outsider, she’s learned an inside game and is considering a run for Senate or president.

Sam Kamin @sjkamin.bsky.social · 1d

Broadly agree, but I also think it’s fair to expect a modicum of research before tossing out a “this you” - the source was a reply to TK, but was someone’s literal first skeet ever.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

Max Berger @maxberger.bsky.social · 1d

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Sam Kamin @sjkamin.bsky.social · 2d

But they only got one point towards point differential so is it really even a W?
