Few clips capture the vacuous nature of Neera Tanden's political analysis like this one. Lots of words, no substance, but buzz phrases like "big tent," "moderate candidates," and the banger of a line, "Zohran Mamdani is a mayor in New York City who is very popular."
The Diamondbacks just won on a walkoff in the 10th and this is how these two Arizona fans decided to experience that moment. My dudes, you are *behind home plate.* Just take it in with your own eyes! The game is on video, swear! Why do people do this?
Just snapped a photo of these *very noisy* Cooper’s hawks above my backyard. (Bonus Anna’s hummingbird)
"Cuba's assault on the United States" is one of the most ludicrous phrases imaginable.
The Rubio-led State Department is just itching for the U.S. to invade Cuba.
This is insane. The State Department links Cuba to BLM protests, pro-Palestine demonstrations, and Antifa. www.state.gov/wp-content/u...
Lying for Trump every night for 18 months has apparently aged Jesse Watters 25 years.
Pete Hegseth goes into the blue again and asks, "Well, how did I get here?"
Name sounded familiar and then I remembered he’s the one who monitors his son’s erections. Mentally ill indeed.
It is not possible for me to receive a push notification that I care less about than this one.
This is so weak. The Trump administration worried that Israel would kill Iranian negotiators, but instead of telling Netanyahu, "Don't do it, or else," U.S. officials told other countries to warn Iran that Israel might try to assassinate them. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/u...
According to Grok, Willson Contreras is still on the Cardinals (he's not), whose manager is Chad Tracy (he's not). Also, somehow the Cardinals, Red Sox, and Nationals all played in this game. I can't handle all this innovation.
When Dan Goldman got elected in 2022, I thought the only way he'd leave office is through his own volition or death. Four years later, he gets absolutely smoked in the primary. Incredible.
[Me, childless, opening Gmail] Maury Povich: You ARE the father!
Wanna read a dumb sentence? Like, really dumb? Oh you think you're ready? Buddy, you are not even close to ready. “Nerdrotic and The Critical Drinker give their take on Polymarket odds of whether the US will confirm aliens exist.”
I need someone to reanimate the corpse of this man so I can hear his take on Scott Pelley's firing.
Assistant: Sir, Raymond Berry has died. Shall I issue a statement for you? Robert Kraft: Yes, and be sure to include a completely irrelevant reference to Israel.
There's almost no scenario in which Democrats take the Senate without Graham Platner defeating Susan Collins. I suspect this will begin to weigh on left-of-center people who are anti-Platner the closer we get to November.
Why are people posting about BlueSky when they could be posting pets wearing aviators?
There isn't a more Dylan Byers paragraph than this paragraph by Dylan Byers.
