any democrat that (justifiably) castigates members of the republican party for years of dis- and misinformation and refuses to do the same in this instance is a hypocrite. vilifying the “opposition” and not doing the same for your own is the height of fallacy and self deception.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib *still* doesn’t believe that Israel didn’t bomb the hospital in Gaza — doubling down on her misinformation in interview today.

stunning that congresspeople, regardless of party, immediately repost unverified propaganda/cast blame in world affairs. this isn’t a game - these are *lives*: if someone with federal powers can’t wait for the barest verification they’re objectively incapable of holding office.

29 years is an amazing run and @RealSportsHBO has consistently been one of the best shows on television during that period. congrats to the whole team - maybe someone can finally tell us why Bryant Gumbel was always taking written notes during a taped program?

the home run king, a keystone of the hall of fame, an incredible all-around player, and an emblem of respect, stoicism, pride, and professionalism, representing a wave of minority athletes that changed the world forever and for the better. rest in power, mr. aaron. #hammer

sandy koufax's 1966 autobiography described the dodgers' pitching strategy for hank aaron (referred to as "bad henry") essentially as follows (this is a paraphrase, but not much of one): "make sure nobody is on base when he gets to the plate."
“survival is an infinite capacity for suspicion.” not only was john le carré one of the finest writers (of any genre) of the last century, but his work informed mass media’s perception of the intelligence industry possibly more than anyone who has ever lived.
special thanks to @ThatsOurMongo for the inspiration. #CountEveryVote

leaving everything else aside, guaranteeing the public months and months of @MayaRudolph throwing 150 mph is the best possible way to kick off a campaign.
and he’d demand doubling against mismatches - brook’s a good passer out of the low post, which by itself would (at least partially) offset the stretch you get from him being outside, and now he opens up floor space for giannis to take two steps and dunk.
That’s probably the key to their end of game half court woes Same way Dallas should probably get it to Porzingis
it isn’t sad that the overarching lesson of the insanity that is 2020 is that we should consider the educated, wise, and learned and NOT quasi-celebrities who are “known” for being sort of good at a game, photographing well, or other faffery, but that the lesson is needed at all.

admittedly, i’m a sop, but this is an incredible story. the world is a better place for carl reiner having been on it.
I have a Carl Reiner story that I hold very dear to me. I figured I'd share it today, on the day of his passing, because I hope it will bring some other people some joy the way it does me.
