Terrible. Feeling lucky I was able to photograph this statue when it was in NYC.

Pro tip: call the Project 2025 1-800 number and complain about it to them. The people answering the phones don’t seem to know what the plan even is.

I didn’t know until tonight that Sanchez, who’s pitching for the Phillies and is a rookie, was in the minors for 11 years. I mean it’s not Crash Davis or anything, but what a cool thing to see him doing well.

One thing I love is how every single person on Twitter thinks Harris could improve her polls by “actually campaigning” without realizing that Biden is in fact actually campaigning. The problem is you’re in a media bubble that ignores him in favor of a narrative, and it’ll probably ignore her too

WBD's stock price has tanked ~78% since David Zaslav was announced as CEO— $32.68 on 05/19/21 to $7.32, today— to say nothing of the brand loyalty, goodwill, & creative talent he's destroyed. It is amazing & genuinely horrifying that anyone could fail this badly, & remain in a position of authority

A self-reinforcing cycle. We saw this in 2016 with Hillary's emails. It's now been thirteen days of this, and I think we can all agree the GOP is loving this, right? We can all keep an eye on what's happening, but focus on the work. It needs all of us right now.

Periodic reminder: Everyone's going to have a hot take. Including George Clooney. Instead of debating the merits, we should be focusing on: 1. Are you registered to vote? 2. Have you checked your registration? 3. Have you told 5 people about Project 2025? 4. Have you called your Senators?

Texas is subsidizing $10 billion worth of new fossil fuel plants, citing new demand caused by climate change and population growth.

But in reality, much of the new demand is coming from supercomputers for AI and crypto.

Guess where the new plants will be placed:

Yeah. A somewhat underdiscussed thing about TV now is that if I have to rewatch the previous season of a show because I completely fucking forgot it & I’m much less than invested in the characters & story because three fucking years have passed, maybe, just maybe, that’s a little bit of a problem? 😬
