Me not good with numbers, is that a lot?

Yeah… superstar-itis is not our friend

NYR needs to think less about a superstar & more about how to get the best out of their players. And what useful players actually look like.

yes yes yes

9 days in, the most basic question about the Iran war remains unanswered In just over a week, Trump and top administration officials have given at least 17 different responses about why the war began

WE STILL DON'T HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER ON THE MOST BASIC QUESTION ABOUT THE IRAN WAR

WHY did the U.S. go to war?

A Popular Information review of public statements over the last 9 days found 17 DIFFERENT EXPLAINATIONS. Many of which contradict each other.

🧵

If this is actually the new set of strategic goals, the Trump administration is admitting that they have strategically failed and this has been a disaster.

To be left dead by attacks is the natural state of the Middle Easterner, while in the Western culture (also Israel somehow) being killed is a major taboo.

He's feeling that Guilfoyle energy.

A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“

A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

Don't think too hard. Schumer and people like him are not really opposed to attacking Iran.

And big Dems get $$ from people OK with attacking Iran & taking out its leadership.

So procedural critiques are all that's left.

Scoop: DNC officials working on secret report found Gaza stance cost Harris votes The DNC's research on what went wrong in 2024 has been under lock and key since party leaders decided to hide it from the public.

Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support bc of the Biden administration's instance on backing the genocide in Gaza, Axios has learned.

Not my man Dingus! NO!!!

Foreigner is some of the worst music ... yeesh

Dude, we want people who will fight against ICE occupations, favoring the rich, destroying our government, undoing climate policy, consolidation of media by a wealthy few, etc.

Palestine & trans are red herrings.

The compact cannot proceed until Dems win more state legislatures.

Again, it comes down to winning elections as they currently exist. And to getting Dems to do better.

That’s bad logic. On Election Day, the choice is a D or an R. Not voting or voting 3rd party doesn’t change that.

The rest of the time, yes, work to get us better choices. There are various ways to go about that.

But refusing to participate on Election Day doesn’t make the 2-party system go away.

That’s been around like 25 years or more. It’s a great idea, but unfortunately difficult to accomplish. We have to win in spite of the electoral college.

that's crazy talk!!

The billionaires' eugenics project: how Epstein infiltrated Harvard, muzzled the humanities and preached master-race science Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan.

This is hands-down the best thing I’ve read on Epstein‘s worldview and those of his fellow tech, finance, and academic elite. It’s a rough read, but at least every paragraph is a banger. 🔥🔥🔥😭

'A good way of dealing with overpopulation': Epstein files reveal how the rich fuel climate denialism Jeffrey Epstein and his vast network of elite figures routinely traded in myths that undermine climate progress. Experts say it's not an accident.

How could anyone use this stuff without checking?

Part of the job is to create engagement, which this post successfully did.

But it wasn’t super clear.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
