Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Consistently wrong since 2002

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

    What ? A ? Save

    Indeed. The 2nd and 3rd saves were unbelievable. Yeah, so were the 4th and 5th.

    Christian Eriksen and his doctors face an important decision in the next few months: whether he can safely continue playing top-flight football. At 29 he would normally have most of a decade left, but a heart attack changes everything.

    OZ, this is in the NYT and I can’t copy the url

    Why Did the Cave Art Vanish? It Was Erased by This Furry Creature and Its Feces.

    Hunting scenes, geometric patterns, hand stencils and other works of prehistoric art can endure for tens of thousands of years on the walls of well-protected caves — but only if bats don’t hang out in the galleries.

    These flying mammals are simply looking for a safe place to roost, but they also become furry philistines that erase ancient paintings and other cave wall markings within a few decades because of the corrosive property of their feces, or guano, according to research by a team of geologists and archaeologists published in May in the journal Geomorphology.

    Hungary v France – The World Champions will mix things up a bit try out a few new things, display a bit of overly casual play that lets Hungary get up the pitch sometimes, but the world will turn and France will win and Kante will get MOTM. 0-3

    Portugal.v Germany – Much harder to call. Ronaldo has better players around him than 5 years ago and can score lots, while Germany look toothless up front but, as in the French game, have a drilled, organised relentlessness about them that can grind more stylish teams down and nick a result. 2-1

    Spain v Poland – The goalshy passing machine v the best striker in the world. All we know for sure is that Spain will hog possession, but can they do anything with it? Poland can guarantee Lewandowski will score, but can they get the ball to him? It’s a conundrum I may sleep through and miss a shock. 3-2

    The Scottish fans must be over the moon.

    There was a great story in the NY Times sports section about the Tartan Army, apparently well known in the footie community for being fiercely loyal, willing to throw a lot of money around in bars, easily identifiable by their plaids and kilts, and extremely well behaved.

    I think it’s clear by now that the French have pooled their pocket money to place a bet on them failing to convert the greatest number of clear chances in an international game since records began.

    I demand an investigation!

    Well, well, well. Hungary break down the French left and take the lead in first half injury time against the World Champions.

    Wow.

    I was barely over the shock of seeing my boy Lucas Digne actually on the field, when the supposedly invincible Pavard and Varane switch off and … you know the rest.

    You’d expect this half to feature the most relentless French campaign of aggression since Napoleon took the throne, but the Hungarians aren’t in the mood to play whipping boy.

    Good game!

    @Amir Khalid: jeff green killed my bucks in game 5 of nba second round with a graft coming off his ascending aorta.

    Germany 2-1 up while still being unable to score.

    God, clearly, doesn’t like Pepe much either. Or he’s on a retainer from Coca Cola.

    Now Germany have scored! 3-1, but Portugal have a free kick….

    …no, still 3-1

    4-1.
    Ronaldo is looking pissed. Portugal don’t seem to have much to offer, and if they don’t do something remarkable they’ll have to beat (or draw with) France to (probably) go through.

    oooh, 4-2. Jota the Slotter strikes, but is it offside? No it was not. And still 20+ minutes to go.

    That was nervewracking watching from Germany.  As in the first Euros I watched here 13 years ago, someone in hearing had a feed a couple of seconds faster, so I always knew when a goal was coming. :)
