This was such a good job by the NYT's Shawn McCreesh.
He asked a very pointed and direct question to Trump about the school bombing, leading the president to corner himself (was he claiming the US sold Iran Tomahawks???) before admitting he doesn't "know enough" and will abide by the final report.
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
This is true of 99% of ttrpg creators as well, btw.
what even is the fucking point
This @halfpasttwoska.bsky.social cover pulled me forward in my chair. “Lookers” was already a great song, but having a woman singer explodes the possible meanings—is it still about an old flame, or a lost friend, an idol, a crush, a rival? Plus, killer organs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESIS...
He did this, unmasked, in full view of multiple cameras and onlookers. If you saw this kind of assault happen on the street you'd call the police.
EMF’s “Unbelievable” is an all-time great.
That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.
Everyone needs to go out and buy the Spencer Ackerman (@attackerman.bsky.social) Iron Man issues on digital and in trade because I need @marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social to put him back on that book.
I cannot believe they made a The Long Walk movie.
It was excruciating to read. I cannot even imagine watching it.
But I am *very* glad they are releasing it now, in Trump's USA.
Because it will show us the bullet in the head that's coming for us if Republicans continue to rule.
Thanks, man!

Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
They saw that like 20% of millennials are on track with retirement savings and decided to take decisive policy action to make sure that number never gets that high again
I did not have a crush on the girl from that cartoon. Nope. I am a normal human.

I missed the news of Ruth Buzzi's death. Laugh-In's 25th anniversary tributes rolled out when I was in high school and I became an instant fan. She seemed like a neat lady. RIP.
The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid.
“It’s really the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable…who need technologies to live.”
Non-standard colors on team hats has gone too far. Pink hats were marketing genius. Black hats, sure. But yesterday I saw a dude who’d capped off his fit with an Orioles hat in Phillies brick red.
No, sir. There is a line. We don’t play that here.
A funny thing my wife does is listen to podcasts about the activity she is doing—organizing podcasts when she's decluttering, cooking podcasts when she's cooking, etc. It's as predictable as clockwork.
A HILARIOUS thing my wife does is deny that she does this.
Me to my 20 mo.-old son: "I'm getting my laptop. I'll be right back. 🎼After these messages / we'll be riiight back🎶"
This poor child is being raised on the interstitial station ID jingles from '90s children's programming blocks he will never watch.

Government outsources major projects, outsources the oversight of those projects, and then is surprised when the projects don't go well. Here we see the MTA would rather spend $186M than simply hire a handful of MTA employees to provide actual oversight.
This will go badly.
TFW you used to go to alumni happy hours with one of the guys in the Waltz/Hegseth chain.
As an American I stand with Greenland!
Ditto. (I'm in the one on the left.)
Wait—NONE of you nerds were going to tell me I got mentioned on the Cerebro podcast?
Also—they used my email on the Cerebro podcast. Neat!

a dark day for ska
I'm utterly delighted to find out that an NPC I dreamed up is out there spreading the love. Check out these downloadable Valentines and watch for out for NPC Core next month!
Chris Murphy seems to be one of the only Dems who really gets the urgency of what is happening now.
