Charles, who stripped his own brother of every title and honor, is now going to hang out with Epstein's bestie. All his life this man has had less dignity or sense than one of his mom's corgis

The point of epic, essential journalism is to put readers in the shoes and the actual locations of those written about. Bravo, @nickjudin.bsky.social, for doing it again with such an essential story for and about the people of Mississippi. This piece is a class in how to center people, not power.

... but do both defense ministers say so

The leader of the opposition party in the lower chamber promises to not even try to expel him from office

Hell yeah you love to see it!

So you’re telling me there’s a chance we get one last dance with infrastructure week? www.politico.com/live-updates...

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: The second movement (Andante) of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 10 in E♭ Major, (K. 365). It's written for two pianos, in this case performed by the sisters Katia and Marielle Labèque with the Berliner Philharmoniker. See you around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7I1Z...

BTW, ABC didn’t give any coverage to the Trumps’ calls to fire Kimmel; CBS mentioned it in passing and noted the “widow” line came along with jokes about Trump’s age/health; but NBC did a full 90-second report in which it falsely said Kimmel’s joke “made light of the president’s death.”

Wait, so the Trump White House is now accusing Dems of crossing this line, seriously?? Trump has provoked and encouraged political violence like no other, by an order of magnitude. I documented a ton of it here—and this is just since the start of his second term www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I support you being mean to the president. You are a patriot in my eyes

Certainly tracks and hey, by the way, what happened to all that "programs to help new mothers" shit Republicans said they were gonna pass when Roe got overturned?

This piece is so good although for some reason someone keeps cutting onions every time I get about halfway through.

Kimmel’s monologue has dropped youtu.be/zust6eID9mk?...

Is there an all-time ratio leaderboard?

Love that they named an episode of Maul: Shadow Lord “The Creeping Fear.”

Nothing like a good Hockey DB dot com session where you end up at the 1995 NHL draft for no apparent reason, but find it fascinating nonetheless

Bring on a minimum occupancy requirement and seize homes left unoccupied for…three months or more a year feels reasonable.

If only cable networks still offered this level of curation—or if streamers ever tried it—TV would be so much better off. If LPs, CDs and DVDs can make comebacks—and all have—I firmly believe curated TV can, too. youtu.be/zsPKBtSR8Hs?...

Wait we don’t even need to pass let alone enact a wealth tax to get rid of these parasites?

one weird trick to not being surprised by billing changes in AI is to never use AI in the first place because it's worthless and awful

I'm not in charge but if Neil the Seal is not on the next season of Australian traitors I will riot from half a world away (he's obviously a faithful)

what it's like hanging out with me

“Police shouldn’t pay income tax” is a third-tier Robocop subplot. It’s 2002 Giuliani cosplay.

Thinking again about how Mackenzie Scott has given away $19 billion of her $38b and still seen her net worth increase, these are some weird little pissbabies

Orlando-Detroit ? This is some Eastern Conference ass basketball. (Dealer’s choice where you place the hyphen. They both work)

Murc's Law never fails!

Important, devastating, story by @nickjudin.bsky.social

Jimmy Kimmel has defeated the president again

Something extremely rude just happened in Pistons-Magic #NBAsky

Why do they imagine anyone will care about 'assassination attempts' that barely interrupted their terrible parties for a half hour?

I just love it when Fizz T. Doge does her ~ most interesting dog in the world ~ pose

Some people in positions of power are profoundly malevolent. Some are deeply incompetent. A very few hit the jackpot.

i love it when i drink wine and do skeets and it pays off with content my much-beleaguered baseballman husband simply cannot possibly fault me for obtaining while he makes dinner and does all the chores

They're charging you too much for this ballroom, Mr. President. I'll build it for much less. I can start immediately. This is not a trap

I think the team I'm rooting for this NHL playoffs is whoever can embarrass Carter Hart

Tipsy has detected human-like typing and her ruling is NO

Billionaires who seek to avoid contributing to the common good are trash and this headline is also trash

I have to say, it was legitimately wild to rewatch Project Hail Mary and see Bruce Springsteen on tour over the same weekend as the White House press dinner, like the degree to which I actively sought out hope and was also served more fuckery at the same time is truly ... well, expected

I hope, somehow, they both lose

I forgot the actual anniversary a week or so ago but whatever my book came out 9 years ago and is maybe still mildly relevant

Truly grateful for people who engage with me on here! It's the biggest following I've ever had. For lil ole me.

I left out a paragraph of @todseelie.bsky.social's beautiful post tonight, it is my fault!!! The story is about his time working with the band Parts and Labor. Please come read the corrected version on @flaminghydra.com, while I attempt to persuade the earth to swallow me whole (apologies, Tod!!)

Google is failing me and I want to do a holler; IIRC there was a major and fairly reliable poll done in the last month (maybe even last two weeks) that showed non-voting but likely D voters sat out '24 because Harris was perceived as not left enough does anyone ... have that on hand

such a sucker for team accounts posting something like "business trip" when their players board a flight on their way to a 4–1 series loss

Suburban sprawl doesn't have to be like this!

Clay Travis tells Jesse Watters on Fox News that if the Dems win the midterms, Hakeem Jeffries will be the Speaker and third in the line of succession, and thus the Dems will try and kill both Trump and JD (yes, he said this, almost verbatim): "We have to prepare for everything."

it's giving "i can't be a misogynist, my mother was a woman" but like somehow much, much worse

I already have my joker origin story but if I didn't already, Jeffries positing that "driving down the cost of living" and impeaching Trump are goals fundamentally at odds with each other would probably do it

If you’re eating yard bird meat the BEST scenario for your goofy MAHA guts is salmonella

Leopards eating faces are strong with this one, the people who voted for a border wall probably deserve to get got.

have I had a decade or more to create a macro that converts "abortoin" to "abortion"? Have I done so? NO

I don't think anyone here needs reminding of this, but living in a state where existing LEOs/state gubmint are working with ICE to target immigrants is fucking awful. There are great resistance movements doing all they can to combat this shit, and yet: these fuckers

so old I remember when ball room was more of a vice presidential issue

People actually worked to get this person elected to Congress.

I got to make the illustration for tomorrow's @theflytrapmedia.com post from @katelynburns.com on a subject that is as close as possible to my own cat-loving heart and I can't wait for it to land in y'all's inboxes (subscribe if you don't already, it's a free post!)

Americans: I can't afford groceries or gas Republicans: Say no more

In which a U.S. Senator from South Carolina — where more Revolutionary War battles were fought than in any other state — suggests the President build a ballroom at least partly to welcome the King of England in 2026, the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Any Philly fans wanna fill me in on why Michkov is a healthy scratch tonight?

Really interesting WSJ story with great data viz www.wsj.com/finance/larr...

NEW: Fingers obtained the email RNDC's CEO sent to employees Monday laying out plans to break up the mega-distributor with sales to Columbia, Martignetti, and an unnamed third buyer.

Cool cool because what chemical companies need is more liability shields to protect them from being sued by the people they poison.

Also, this guy is calling *Julie K. Brown* a fraud. I pointed out on his home turf that he always has the option, on his own volition, to stop. But he's gotta go live with Matt Taibbi later, so I guess that takes precedent.

I'm so tired of these selfish, greedy assholes

Bumpin' that (apologies for the @daveweigel.bsky.social copyright infringement) youtu.be/6eoAwXkI3RA?...

there’s a lot of ham handed poetry in trump beginning by promising to build a wall and make mexico pay for it and ending by demanding taxpayers pay for a giant ballroom in his honor that no one needs or asked for.

this seems to me like the sensible response and one that takes seriously the idea that he’s lost the country irrevocably and they don’t need to pretend anymore that 2024 was some epochal and permanent shift in electoral politics.

NEW: The Briefly Introspective President After another brush with a gunman, Trump seemed to take stock of his own mortality and even praise the press But of course that didn't last www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

are we sure “no taxes on cops” isn’t a VEEP joke that got cut in editing?

"So it's one of those" lol

Have you heard the good news, friend?

this muggy weather can really eat shit, this is not what central texas is supposed to feel like

realtor who insists on referring to pigeons as "rock doves"

Oh, to be an empty Bota Box on the floor of that dream team's war room.

Asked yesterday on Fox when he last spoke to Putin, Trump said, “Well, I don’t want to reveal that.” He’s been offering similar answers to the same question for about a decade now, and the White House has never explained why. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

"If I served under Joe Biden, I’d probably be worried every minute of every day that he was going to croak and that I’d have to become president. Like I’d never be able to sleep. I’d always have my cellphone as loud as possible.”-- JD Vance to Sean Hannity, last year youtu.be/oPn9CYENbsE?...

Wrote up a quick analysis on the latest shudders in RNDC's interminable collapse for @vinepair.com (see "VP Pro Take"):

"But He Could Rescue Others" is up there with "I Can Change Him"

Spirit is getting a bailout and other budget airlines are asking for more, mainly due to soaring jet fuel costs. Taking a government stake to share in the upside is reasonable, but Trump's version is laced with corruption, Bob Kuttner writes. prospect.org/2026/04/27/s...

Just a reminder: Late-night comics used to make jokes about Joe Biden being close to death because he (like Trump) was old, and nobody batted an eyelash. Trump + Melania can lie and suggest Kimmel's joke is about someone shooting Trump; it was clearly about his age. youtu.be/4Srd8oC7M90?...

MXD is actually a brewed base so it would be "Multiple Malt Liquors Macaw" but yeah the overall point here absolutely stands lol

Heat's Tyler Herro to have surgery on right foot; Riley offers thoughts on Adebayo, Powell, Wiggins, Rozier. www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/04/27/h... Riley also addresses where things stand with Herro.

The Trump administration will pay more energy firms to cancel offshore wind projects: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/c...

Trump admin informed Congress last week that it would use money originally appropriated for global health to deal with the costs of shutting down USAID, including paying off contractors who were screwed by the DOGE rampage and are now suing. Congress, reasonably, is calling this "impoundment."

turn down that rhetoric!

My guess is the fear of facing the wrath of angry Boston sports fans and local talk radio. Just an extra, almost ambient type of motivation.

Guessing that doesn't extend to Trump's World Liberty Financial lessening its dependence on Binance?
