@ifbookspod.bsky.social Any chance for a bonus ep on Scott Galloway's new Boy's Panic book? Is it just Reeves: Part Deux? He's also part of the "Raging Moderates" pod with Tarkov, the punching bag of Fox 5, which could also lead to a dissection of the Lincoln Project and the effin' Bulwark folk. 🫶🏼

Quintessential Josh Marshall:

I would love for a single democrat to reckon with the fact that conservatives are not in fact motivated by reasonable concerns. They are — just as they were with ‘concerns’ over blacks and gays and numerous other minorities over the last five decades — motivated by bigotry.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women.

The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

These people have smarted themselves into the dumbest fucking arguments.

Determining whether someone is "doing politics the right way" depends almost entirely on the content of their speech! If someone lies constantly and endorses authoritarians that's not practicing good politics.

Always happy to see a new @ifbookspod.bsky.social locked and loaded in my podcast list! Any chance you're working on an "Abundance" takedown? Or is it up to us Better than Ezra & Derek types to re-educate them? Let us know, fellas!

Hey! How many times you gotta blow a guy to get a Signal group invite?!?

@tampabaytre.bsky.social On behalf of Raider fans on BlueSky (which is likely just me...): Dude. Tyler Warren? For a team that has virtually nobody on the back seven, and who could also use a blue-chip player at literally any position? Ouch, man. p.s. love NFLSE and Bootleg!

shouting police are agents of capital as an officer beats the hell out of me in a qualifiedly immune manner

This is merely a thought experiment, but what if Tom Homan's genitals were gently removed from his body, but then reunited with the rest of him in the Netherlands? Hypothetically, would I ever have to think about him again? I know Sam Harris wonders about this, maybe...🤔

I know this isn't his strength, but someone with more followers than me should tell Pete Hegseth that it is long past time to pull out.

So I guess all those obese, caucasian diversity hires are set to lose their jobs, yeah? How about customers? Will they attempt to deny service to the same demographic, which makes up a large (no pun intended) percentage of their customer base?

When Training Day came out, it amazed me how people were surprised by Denzel's performance. In retrospect, maybe I was just a bit older. But if you want to see a righteously angry version of Alonzo, just watch Glory (filter out the white guilt, as needed).

Send Biden to the Hague, too.

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it.

It’s weak even by normal left-punching standards. Zero evidence more Liz Cheney would have won this. The opposite, actually.

What's up, Sky People. I'm a politics, sports, and music junkie who mostly exists in replies. United Statesian by berf, damn near 日本人 if you only count years of adulthood and not pigmentation. Failed community organizer, sufferer of acute academentia. Shall we FAFO?

Let's get real-esque, please. Unless Thune bends over for Trump's recess-appointment demands, Gaetz, Hegseth, and Gabbard will not be confirmed. Therefore, what is hiding behind Door #2?
