The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

The President is disgusting and a disgrace.

And he’s clearly rattled by yesterday’s turnout.

Keep speaking out. The power belongs to the people.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

The whole thing is delightful, as is, of course, Bill Nighy (or, as I first encountered him and still think of him, Slartibartfast.)

Well I was not expecting BILL NIGHY to be spitting facts today!

I have started dating a man who is very nice but does not share my politics. Any advice?
"You just have to get the fuck out of there. What are you thinking? He must be incredibly attractive-looking. I mean, what is it? Is he tall? Does he remind you of your father? There's only two kinds of politics these days, and you can't breathe the same air as the other kind."

Sabrina Carpenter's ascent singing about mediocre men is instructive of America culture. Women are increasingly going to college more than men and have more life experiences while men are going to college less. It would stand to reason Sabrina speaks the frustrations many women face finding a man.

For all the fans who have been on this road for a long, long time:

The Mariners are a win from the World Series. But really, so much more.

The Mariners are a win from the World Series. But really, so much more.

The Mariners are a win from reaching the World Series, and also a win from erasing decades of frustration. Here's what a win Sunday would really mean to Seattle.
