That we would end up following the fate of Athens and Rome was the single most obsessive fear of America's founders.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

I know this guy has the brain of a not-real-bright dog - say, an aging beagle that is no longer food motivated enough to trick into getting off the couch - but to throw in *the Irish* as part of America's "origin" is...yeah man we get it, just say White.
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.
You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

I just saw this video of a curling competition from 1972 and the guy throwing the rock has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Unreal.

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:

- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9
Romance alert: Trump's reckless tariffs have Valentine’s Day costs up across the board:

Roses 🌹16.6%
Chocolates🍫 18.7%
Ribeye 🥩 25.4%
Restaurant meals 🍽️ 4.9%

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

One takeaway from the big WSJ Noem/Lewandowski/DHS piece is how all the Trump satellites think they can be heir apparent when in reality they are like 45 seconds from the 11 am block on NewsNation

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

“Truck magnate Matthew Moroun’s family runs the Ambassador Bridge—which will face competition from the Gordie Howe project—and has fought the latter for years.”

Oh please let that guy’s last name be pronounced MORON. (I would also accept MAROON.)
Remarkable: Trump's deranged threat to block the bridge connecting Detroit to Canada is backfiring, giving Dems a big issue in 2026 races in Michigan, which could help decide control of Congress.

Michigan Dems tell me they'll use this against Republicans big time:

His corrupt threat to block the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge is about to become a big albatross around the necks of GOP candidates in pivotal Michigan.

To explain: When you come in from out of state to represent someone, you have to get a local counsel to sponsor you in "Pro Hac Vice." That's what Abbe Lowell et al are doing for Don Lemon.

The guy who is sponsoring them in is the lead prosecutor who quit bc Pam Bondi is so corrupt.
Look at who is PHVing Abbe Lowell and team into MN to represent Don Lemon.

There are psychologically broken people. The culture they stew in turns them rotten, and then their control of the state enables them to weaponize that lack of emotional and psychological well-being against the rest of us on a mass scale.
