He lapped the field today, including a dominant performance against Magnus. What an exciting young talent alongside the others in his age range!

Tariffs are inflationary.

Energy crises are inflationary.

Central banks arbitrarily dropping rates is inflationary.

Everything Trump wants is inflationary.

And with high inflation, the people who win are those who own assets.

Are you starting to understand yet?

Brave Wrexham performance that will be remembered as a marker of so much of what could be πŸ‘

Fearless Wrexham pushed Chelsea into making 6 substitutions to come back from behind β€” twice β€” and survive a magical, valiant night at the STok Cae Ras 🐲

A taste of things to come? πŸ‘€

This is an irresponsible, misleading post that misrepresents what Leavitt said. There's enough awful stuff happening. Don't confuse people.

It's the era of the white swan, the shocks to our system were very foreseeable
-Global flu pandemic
-Climate change increasing instability
-Extreme concentration of wealth perverting politics
-Strongman taking advantage of US's ossified system
-War with Iran provoking an energy crisis

Anti-Semites have agency so I don't want to let them off the hook but at the same time the groups that were supposed to enforce the cordon sanitaire blew their credibility on attacking a guy who went to more bar mitzvahs than most of us as an anti-Semite.

Here's what you've got to understand about Republican congressmen - they're all Jerry Lundegaard.

The brain is an organ. Mental illnesses are
illnesses of that organ. Brain scans show
that there is a physical difference between
a healthy brain and a sick brain. Telling
someone "You're not really sick. It's all in your
head." is like telling someone with asthma "It's
not real, it's all in your lungs." The brain is an
organ that can malfunction as much as any
other organ.

Mental Health is important, and mental illness is no joke.

Too many people are too dismissive about this entire topic.

Educate yourself, and don't be a dick. There are people hurting and suffering, in a society that barely cares about physical healthcare, let alone mental healthcare.

Be kind.

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Abdusattorov Wins His 2nd Prague Masters GM Nodirbek Abdusattorov has won the 2026 Prague Chess Festival Masters by a full point after making an effortless draw against GM Hans Niemann in the final round.

Nodirbek Abdusattorov's run of success continues as he becomes the only player to win the Prague Masters twice!

As for who gets appointed to Mullin's seat, Mike Gundy needs a job and has been watching OANN 20 hours a day to get up to speed on things

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Prague Masters 2026 Round 8: Abdusattorov Leapfrogs Van Foreest To Lead Hans Niemann's first win of what he called "probably the worst tournament of my life" looked like being the highlight of the penultimate round of the Prague Masters until some shocking late drama.

Abdusattorov leads another super tournament going into the final round after a dramatic end to Round 8 in Prague!

The sparrows in our yard never wait their turn, even with blue jays and cardinals around. A little black crowned sparrow is the master of the birdfeeder. He chases away the juncos too. Bit of a so-and-so to be honest, but cute!
