@RichLowry @Mediaite She is asking him to do what Musk did; if it’s not a Nazi salute, then that shouldn’t be a problem. It is, because it is. That’s her point.

@Dreamotology @realLizUSA This assumes that you somehow know ahead of time how many votes will be cast. Given that voter turnout is not 100%, you believe this is how elections work?

@RedsRepair95 @CollinRugg You’re right, it will get no mainstream media attention, because it didn’t happen. Trump did steal many classified documents and refused to return them. That’s a real thing that happened, which is why it got mainstream media attention. I’m sure you can grasp the distinction

@KevinMNelsonUSA @CollinRugg Why would the FBI investigate a third-hand imaginary recollection of something that obviously didn’t happen 30 years ago. That’s not a great use of their time.

@BertSaysWoof @What46HasDone There are more Republicans in Long Island than in many red states; Trump got about 700k votes in 2020 in Suffolk and Nassau counties combined (narrowly won the former, lost the latter) which is more than he got in 8 states that he won. A lot of people live there!

Logged in for the first time in months to figure out what the hell happened with the Mariners (BlueSky is mostly very good, but almost none of Sports Twitter is there [yet?]) and good lord it is ROUGH on here. The reply function of twitter is just gone now.
Pushing blue checks to the top is probably the Musk feature that has degraded the minute-to-minute experience of this site the most.

@midwestalison @AnneNotation And even beyond the gang itself, how many of their wives/girlfriends/children/friends get killed? Like I can’t say I’m an expert on outlaw biker gangs but I’m reasonably confident there isn’t a 50%+ fatality rate over a five year time horizon with them and their friends/family

@dhaaruni I went to play pickup basketball at a gym in Auckland, NZ and ended up on the same team as a guy I played with on a Northeast Seattle rec league when we were in elementary school. Hadn’t seen him in 15 years.

@Skizzle07364136 @NateDuncanNBA If you’re going to be a deeply annoying pedant you at least need to be correct. Nate’s tweet does not use the passive voice—subject of the main sentence is Klay, secondary subject is “people”

@SwannMarcus89 I hesitate to say this because of the obviously insanely high bar, but I honestly think this may be their single weirdest obsession.

@DrewSav Underrated historical accomplishment: Napoleon got rid of the Venetian Republic, The Republic of Genoa, and the Holy Roman Empire—all millennia-old former superpowers—in the span of just a few years.

@Wilson__Valdez And also, honestly even more bizarrely, with Ed Markey. The only material difference between him and Kennedy was their age!

@JamesFallows @mattyglesias Ironically, the meta story—how and why the New York Times covered But Her Emails the way it did—would itself be a very interesting and important story
