i think you can just embrace this one. it's not a gateway drug to something darker. what else are they hiding from you? nothing. and who is they? "they" is, I don't know, sportswriters.

i like the "wilt didn't actually score 100" conspiracy because it's a rare conspiracy that does not inevitably spiral into antisemitism

AI fakes spread disinformation. Is the distrust they create even worse? Manipulated images undermine our shared realityβ€”and the democracy built upon it.

I'm going to share this story one more time, because I think the problem it describes -- being unable to determine what is true online or in the news, and just giving up entirely on trying -- is going to get more and more common. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Mike Johnson refuses to condemn anti-Muslim comments by Republican lawmakers Andy Ogles said Muslims do not belong in the US and Randy Fine made a comparison of Muslims to dogs

i understand why Mike Johnson does whatever Trump wants. it's incredible to get dog-walked by *this*. Arguably one of the weakest men ever to hold a constitutional office in this country. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

what's striking about Andy Ogles is less that someone like him exists, but that he can elicit this absolutely pathetic kind of comment from the speaker of the house: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

How taxpayers are still getting screwed on Kristi Noem's Big Beautiful Jet The infamous 737 is connected to a DHS contractor who received β€œan appearance of favoritism.”

the DHS jet should be raffled off to one lucky American every day, like the old Sweden twitter account www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ex-DOJ prosecutor who proclaimed β€˜this job sucks’ will run for Congress Julie T. Le made headlines during DHS’s surge in Minneapolis and will launch a campaign to challenge Rep. Ilhan Omar for her seat.

Got some rough news for her about being a member of Congress.

was there a better approach than putting Andrew Giuliani and Kristi Noem in charge? we'll never know

Boston's World Cup Stakeholders Are Squabbling Over Money | Defector A little over three months from today, on June 13, the Boston metropolitan area is set to host the first of its seven 2026 World Cup matches, a group-stage clash between Scotland and Haiti. Despite ki...

kind of funny that ostensibly the whole purpose of Gianni Infantino becoming Trump's one true friend was that it would make the World Cup run smoothly, and Foxborough can't even get appropriated DHS funds defector.com/bostons-worl...

there's a class at yale law where they teach you how to make *that exact face* while making shit up

being out of a job is really something less the bare minimum consequence for a Defense secretary who cheered the end of rules of engagement after blowing up a school. certainly a place to start tho.

captures a very in-plain-sight difference between 2017 and now: people mostly aren't really doing Cletus Safaris anymore. to understand Trump 2.0 they're going to places that offer caviar bumps.

How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran’s Response to War

"Mr. Trump has displayed growing frustration over how the war is disrupting the oil supply, telling Fox News that oil tanker crews should 'show some guts' and sail through the Strait of Hormuz." He's got to tie himself to the mast. Leaders lead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

it is our destiny to finish second in every group, and Iran could reasonably finish ahead of new zealand and egypt

Trump Told Me Iran Is Welcome at World Cup, FIFA Chief Says

Trump Told Me Iran Is Welcome at World Cup, FIFA Chief Says

looking back on the 2022 world cup when the US played Iran and, while the situation in Iran was terrible then, it was just good competition and sportsmanship on the field. lasting image of Antonee Robinson with his arm around an Iranian player afterwards. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/w...

generally i think people in congress should avoid doing things that further the impression that congress is fake
