Guys they are really, really not winning
It sucks what they’re doing to our country, and my city especially
God only knows how much damage they’ll do before they’re stopped, much of it irreversible
But they are very much not winning
ICE agent wearing skull mask that is usually associated with the neo Nazi atomwaffen group
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets
I’m so sad about Ivey, man
We're going to be featuring a lot of Dan's work the rest of this week, but this is one I especially enjoyed and which no one else could have written. He had a lot of those. defector.com/one-last-tri...
Oh no, I’m so sorry for your loss. That’s horrible news. May his memory be a blessing
Rest in peace to one of the great bloggers and the de facto mayor of Philadelphia. It was my honor and pleasure to work with him. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...
You are so worthless it’s unreal. Dear god please resign and let someone who is up to the task take over
They probably do that to people who have premium and cancel, just to punish you, and make you want to re-order, lol. How old are the kids? My brother has 2 year old twins and he and his wife got violently sick and just out on Ms Rachel for 10 hours, lol.
I know it’s not an excuse for the many instances where he himself committed acts of violence, but he always seemed like such a troubled soul. I don’t know. Its sad
I remember reading a story about how some reporters asks him about his name like “boy, your Mom must have loved board games!” And he explained that his dad- Milton Sr., was an abusive addict who signed the birth certificate while his Mom was unconscious and then left.
Cool tidbit from Elias Sports Bureau: Since saves became an official stat in 1969, no team has ever opened a season with 3 pitchers on its roster that had 20+ saves the previous year. Tigers currently have 3 with Will Vest (23 saves in 2025), Kyle Finnegan (24) and Kenley Jansen (29).
Asked Tigers GM Jeff Greenberg if there's anything to read into Skubal's trip to Detroit over the weekend:
"No, I think he just wanted to catch the Detroit sports scene. He's obviously a huge sports fan, means so much to the community. It was cool to see just the images of him. He caught a bunch."
One of the most blatantly authoritarian threats in a Trump term full of them
it is essential that every unionized newsroom gets a ban on this kind of insidious bullshit written into their contract
I bought dry ice from this dude and he immediately started saying a bunch of batshit Trump shit to me. I was like “why are you telling me this? I’m buying dry ice from you. This should be a short transaction”
Yeah it was great. What was Bowie like? That’s like what, Tin Machine era? Were you aware that Soupy Sales’ sons are musicians and are a rhythm section and they backed Bowie during the early 90’s? Did you meet those guys? They play on Lust for Life, too.
Unrelated but I saw the Linguini Incident and it is wonderful. It’s just great. It’s funny, Bowie isn’t a good actor in the sense that he can’t play characters but he’s so magnetic and watchable. It works perfectly. Just a really enjoyable movie. Great stuff
Senate Republicans are going after basic vehicle-safety mandates, like automatic brakes and child safety alarms.
They claim that these safety protocols are the real reason for the car affordability crisis.
The solution they're proposing instead is autonomous vehicles.
Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?
I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.
it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet
Lol
Maybe you should lecture the fools who caved?
NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:
