I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

I would like for Mike Johnson to have to say whether he thinks people arriving in ERs with heart attacks or massive trauma should be left to die if they don't have ID proving they're a citizen or else here legally.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

So the American taxpayer eats it twice, once on tariffs and again on a second farm bailout. I’m glad farmers are getting help, no one should lose their farm, but it’s remarkable how fast “socialism” stops being a dirty word when the checks clear in red counties.

Not even that, politicians have ZERO to do with the NFL and the Super Bowl, there is zero reason to ask their opinion on it.

I'm sorry, but stop fucking asking them questions about Bad Bunny, we already know they're gonna say more racist shit. The government is shut down and they're refusing to swear in someone who was just elected by voters and this guy is a big reason for it.

MeidasTouch @meidastouch.com · 2d

Mike Johnson isn't happy that Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl: It sounds like he's not someone who appeals to a broader audience. There's so many eyes on it. A lot of young, impressionable children. In my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not somebody like this.

Someone asked me for a list of pubs doing awesome work and one of the places I mentioned was Wired and they pointed out that they seem to be fluffing AI in between their excellent reporting on other stuff and I can't not see it now. Wired rules but they're definitely odd about AI.

“For decades, Silver has complained publicly about the W’s lack of popularity & profitability, all while doing very little to invest in its success. Usually, people who own businesses talk them up publicly…instead the NBA has… treated the league as a burden, essentially tanking its own asset.“

Engelbert deserves the criticism she is getting. But Adam Silver and the NBA are the biggest obstacle in WNBA labor fights. My latest for @cbssports.bsky.social:

Engelbert faces blazing criticism from WNBA players, but the NBA's ownership and influence remain the central challenge to the league's future.
