Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

We still have time to mess this up!

How stupid are these people?

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

People are weird.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Everybody saw this coming.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

    AL, I appreciate you putting these up but I’m not sure what the point is? I went to the thread at game time and there was no one there.

    The USWNT Olympic squad (18 players & 4 alternates) will be announced today on Good Morning America, probably between 7 & 8 am ET.

    OT, so will put it here…woke up to see Eric Adams is 9 points ahead of Maya Wiley, with Garcia (my number 1) a couple points behind. Unless Garcia converts virtually all of Yang’s votes to her as #2, this is a done deal…which kind of sucks. I can’t imagine Adams to be worse than de Blasio – that’s hard to do – but he’s a machine guy through and through, and much of his career suggests he will simply do what is best for him.

    NYC – great job throwing out mediocre candidates for mayor yet again. Sheesh…

    I have nothing to add about sports, but I have been to Allianz Arena, which has that super-cool PTFE facade, and it is really rad to see it all lit up like that.

    Well, once I started, I might as well go through the whole tourney, right?

    I can’t pretend to understand the sport, I can’t be available to post when the games are played (assuming I could figure out the schedule).  But at least this way, footie fans have a place to blow off steam after the previous day’s events!

    UEFA had a choice between affirming its own professed values and appeasing homophobia. UEFA called it wrong. Very obviously wrong.

    Harry Kane does not look like Harry Kane right now. Looks ground down after a long season. Thought Grealish and Saka added a little life to the attack, but Southgate has England playing very conservatively and there’s little flow to the game. I don’t think that’s going to get it done in the knockout rounds. (and it’ll get worse if he reverts to Foden & Mount, but COVID protocols might stop him there)

    @Amir Khalid:

    Munich City Council should line every access route to the stadium with rainbow bunting and hand out free Pride banners to everyone who wants one. Fuck UEFA and their cowardice. There’s nothing political about equality.

    @PsiFighter37: between yang losing & an increasingly likely loss for nina turner, my prediction for how #ourrevolution will treat the neoliberal korporacrat biden-harris regime is… pain.

    @Anne Laurie: THANK you for posting these.  I really appreciate it–I often can’t check in at the time they’re posted (or when the games are played), but I nearly always read them, even if sometimes a day late.  (Spending time with my grandchildren this month means not much free daytime, especially with the two early risers who are up between 5:30-6:30 every. single. morning…for the last 8 1/2 and 5 years.)

    Admittedly, I’d stretch to see/read on time if it were the women playing, but the men I’m fine with reading whenever this shows up.

    Thank you!

    @Anne Laurie:  I thought there was a function to set a post time? I’m not giving you a hard time but it it were to go up closer to noon we might have a shot at participation.

    No idea why the penalty on Semedo is remotely controversial. He hip-checked Mbappe to the ground, it was clearly inside the area, and if he hadn’t Mbappe would have been in alone waiting for Pogba’s perfectly weighted chip to come down for the easiest of finishes.

    @JML:

    I would suggest that it’s time to give DCL some run, but my Everton fandom makes me non-objective on the subject.

    I want to express my appreciation to Anne Laurie for posting this, especially because it’s done for people like me (former player, amateur, far from glory days) to enjoy. Thank you!
