"He" has done bad things.

Twenty seven bad things.

How bad were they?

They were so bad that they justified severing all ties with his country. And now, the airing of the grievances. #sschat

Thanks to my friend @capodice.bsky.social for the opportunity to contribute to this very fun episode on the grievances in the Declaration of Independence. This is one of my favorite exercises to go through with students every year and I loved getting the chance to do it for such a great podcast

Demanding that you respect and mourn a dead fascist who built his career on the graves of slain children, among other things, is just another grotesque demand of the numerically weak and unpopular authoritarians

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

No better evidence that "The Cathedral" is fake than allegedly liberal journalists tripping over their dicks to praise, as a champion of free discourse and expression, a guy who made one of his central accomplishments a blacklist of professors

I'm really having trouble processing the relative silence from Barack Obama about a colleague who he'd hosted at the White House, the Minnesota State House Speaker, being assassinated, but rushing to get out a weepy statement about Charlie fucking Kirk.

Once again: politics in this country is not a serious business. The idea that you can't have more than two parties when both of them are so manifestly unfit for purpose is pathetic. It is long past time for US citizens to find more respect for themselves and ditch this disgraceful duopoly

PES started to fall by the wayside after the release of FIFA World Cup 2008. The death knell was World Cup 2012

this is true of games for the most popular sport in the world too. The decline of PES remains a tragedy

the British Labour Party are about to decapitate their own leader less than a year after a crushing election victory because he's so intensely unlikeable yet the Democrats have had the exact same people in charge for decades now! This country is unserious about politics

there needs to be some kind of accounting for the fact that the *exact same Democratic Party leaders* who so badly weakened their ability to defeat Donald Trump *are still in power*

it would seem impossible to fathom how nobody at any point piped up to say that continuing to allow Joe Biden to run for President at his age and in his condition might be a bad idea until you remember we're dealing with the same party that thought it offensive to ask Ruth Bader Ginsburg to retire

The most frustrating thing about the conspiracy of lies we have all been subjected to about Joe Biden's fitness for office for two years now is that it was not in service of some great agenda. Their goal was to prove they could beat Trump by promising nothing and delivering less

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

Imagine if projector salespeople told you projectors were great in the classroom not because they let everybody see an image better but rather because now every course could be about projectors, because projectors are the future and the time to opt out of talking about projectors all day has passed.

@drhardesty.bsky.social in there twice 😭😭😭

please get a job Karen, you could get using your photoshop so much more productively

a northern state being attacked by the federal government for the crime of not apprehending a fugitive, cheered on by the very people who whine constantly about respecting "states' rights"? Where have I seen this one before?

in some ways, Trump has permitted these people to think their worldview is vindicated because since Trump doesn't believe in anything or have any values, they assume that is what his supporters also think. When in reality, what happens is those voters project their preexisting values onto Trump.

Stancil has shown has one redeemable quality in that he can barbeque MAGA trolls with the best of them, but he'll fundamentally always be a "people don't believe things or have values, they're told what to believe" late-stage Democratic nihilist at heart

only one interior DT is under contract beyond this year and that one player has an ACL injury. How was DT not a need?

hell yeah Ben, one of my favorites too. I'm a little out on Zabel in pass pro and I think the Lions will want more juice on the move than Tyler Booker offers
