NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act.

The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

Fifteen years ago, I got my dream job writing for MLSsoccer. Last week, that came to an end.

I'm off on my own, and it's time to build something new – with a little help from all of you.

At what point do we start calling them the Trump files?

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.

Do the folks at Newsweek ever look at a headline like this and wonder where it all went wrong?

Chotiner shot that man right in the face with his own gun and he never heard the *click*.

Elon Musk owns a website that generates child porn and was an eager associate of Jeffrey Epstein long after it was known Epstein trafficked children for sex.

How is anyone continuing to be associated with any of his projects companies or operations

Once you start noticing it you can't stop: when the real Trump falters and is incapable of defending his administration (more and more frequent) the actual Trump is "subbed out" of news coverage for an invented, imaginary, often explicitly hypothetical version of Trump who is reasonable and cogent

OK, protip: If you need to set up safeguards to protect the integrity of MLS and Leagues Cup matches, IT IS NOT SAFE.

Newsflash: You do not need to have this partnership. The idea that you are creating a partnership between a league and an unregulated gambling site is INSANE.

A message from Greenland 🇬🇱

You know I always thought Orwell exaggerated a bit for literary effect.

If anything he undershot.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

There have been 283 instances where an NFL QB had 20+ pass attempts in a playoff game since 2013, per

Aaron Rodgers' game tonight against the Texans ranks 283rd in dropback success rate (21.2%) and EPA per dropback (-.76).

i want mamdanis in every city and the white house but it is wild (read: terrifying) that the ‘melting pot’ teaching i had throughout grade school is now explicitly progressive messaging

Miriam Webster word of the the year for me: Laughable

I’m trying to be optimistic but I’ve got a really dark sense of humor.

This is the move.

bad manners. When, as often happens, they break it defiantly in order to shock or embarrass others, they are not necessarily being unchaste, but they are being uncharitable: for it is uncharitable to take pleasure in making other people uncomfortable. I do not think that a very strict or fussy standard of propriety is any proof of chastity or any help to it, and I therefore regard the great relaxation and simplifying of the rule which has taken place in my own lifetime as a good thing. At its present stage, however, it has this inconvenience, that people of different ages and different types do not all acknowledge the same standard, and we hardly know where we are. While this confusion lasts I think that old, or old-fashioned, people should be very careful not to assume that young or ‘emancipated’ people are corrupt whenever they are (by the old standard) improper; and, in return, that young people should not call their elders prudes or puritans because they do not easily adopt the new standard. A real desire to believe all the good you can of others and to make others as comfortable as you can will solve most of the problems.

Let's move on with the rest of the passage.

Lewis recognizes that modesty raises thorny issues, but he sweeps them aside to focus on the more important spirit. I want to bring your attention to the last sentence here:

Hell, opening a watchmaking school would be a good business too. There are so few!

Hey, it’s not like you get to see one of the worst losses in your team’s history every day.. so there’s that.

You don't think there's a way in which your show also sits behind the Trump filter? It's as if you're saying it only works one way. Yeah, but there's a key difference here. I may think you're wrong; you might think I'm evil. The teasing and the ridicule is not "You're Hitler" or "You're a fascist." If I insult you over the top, it's obviously a joke. I don't put a target on your back. I think you're being a little disingenuous. Am I really? I read all your books. The most blatant counterexample to what you're talking about is, you literally use the phrase: "The left are dumb fascist mothereffers." What book was that? Your most recent one, "The King of Late Night." I'll have to look back at that. What was the context?

Life is short and days are precious, so I’m not going to *recommend* you listen to this interview with Greg Gutfield, but it really is fascinating. One of the best moments comes early:

I just can’t wrap my head around a move away from all the mass transit. Do they really think even 15k would be willing to drive to a mid-week game?

you think it's "gay" to be associated with anything left of center ...
