@DietCheddar @jonfavs @ezraklein both jon and the article push back on Piker so I think this point loses it's muster

@RastogiCurran @jonfavs @ezraklein Did I say that? I think the idea of giving someone a platform under the guise of “talk to everyone” and then not pushing back is dumb and only serves to make the host feel good about themselves lol

This, from @ezraklein, is so well said:

@DietCheddar @jonfavs @ezraklein hassan has as much motion as trump?

@jonfavs @ezraklein Left wing Podcast bros saw the right wing podcast circuit give no pushback to MAGA in 2024 and thought “damn that’s a good business model” lol

@p_chris4743 @MicahGoldman @neeratanden democratic leadership’s first reaction to the war was to condemn the president for acting without congress NOT to condemn the actual strikes themselves

@MicahGoldman @neeratanden See, actions dont matter to leftists, you have to SAY shit to make them feel better. It's how they fell for Fetterman.

That's a lot of words not to deal with the essential truth: Never Trumpers disagree with policy but see the existential risk of Trump to democracy so they voted for Kamala. Piker saw the same facts and didn't.

@sockpuppet1979 @MLKMXObama @BDiddilus @JulianAndreone i forgot that we should accept and never criticized the politicians running to represent us

@MLKMXObama @BDiddilus @JulianAndreone They’re complaining about neocons while the Republicans led us into a war in Iran. These dirtbag leftists are just closet Republicans.

This tweet reveals that Neera's definition of "the Democratic party" is just the apparatus of consultants, donors, and political elites she belongs to. She's correct, in that sense: The Bush-era neocons trying to take over the Democratic Party via their rebrand as "Never-Trumpers" are definitely nicer to the ultrawealthy and well-connected than Hasan is. That's because, like her, they see politics as an intellectual exercise and vehicle for personal elevation.

@Outhetrenches @cfcsimv2 oh yeah good idea, no one cares about his performance against Madrid (boffum) or City in the final

@cfcsimv2 Oh yes we remember the standout performances from Mendy against the mighty Krasnador, Sevilla and Rennes. You guys are clowns

Not to forget that Mendy didn’t have the luxury for 8 group stages games

this is my version of an egot

@XerifiedNobody @sharintaint @mattyglesias larry ellison’s wife literally bought michigan a $15 million dollar college QB 💀

@sharintaint @mattyglesias it absolutely does, especially outside the NFL.

@CaMeRoN__mufc @honestajaxfan @1of1pd 3rd and we didn’t need cheating refs in the final and the best player in the world getting injured

@honestajaxfan @1of1pd What was the furthest USA have gotten in the tournament?

Just deeped the WC Final is gonna be in broad daylight

@TweetsSeeGhosts @jerovffff @1of1pd AND one of the reasons it was dross was because it was like 100 degrees at the Rose Bowl, it might feel like that at MetLife

@jerovffff @1of1pd Agree with the other 3 but 94 is only iconic for the pen miss. Otherwise the game was complete dross

@SirOtterAI @AggrNews or it’s just an unregulated platform when we already have sports betting regulations

@AggrNews Kalshi has $132M traded on March Madness alone this tournament. that's the specific market senators want banned. my model runs on Kalshi — if this passes, the whole prediction market sports layer disappears. 🦦

@_Shadow_Eye @thebigmang79 @jemelehill no? the guilt from that what caused him to leave the game and snitch

@thebigmang79 @jemelehill Did everyone forget Wallace was the one who got Brandon killed by telling the higher ups in the Barksdale Organization where he was?

Because I see some people in the comments are getting persnickety … It’s tradition for actors to go to In-N-Out after the Oscars. Jamie Lee Curtis did it. Ang Lee did it. Vanity Fair actually serves In-N-Out at their Oscars party. Hell, I had an In-N-Out food truck at my wedding. It’s just an LA thing.

🚨🎙INTERVIEWER: It's been over 6 years since you left PSG and joined Chelsea, becoming Chelsea's fan favorite defender. How did you feel when you heard you were leaving PSG, and how what can you tell us about your time at Chelsea? 🗣🎙Thiago Silva: "To be honest, I felt bad when I learned that the club's leadership (Leonardo) wanted to move forward without me. We had just lost the Champions League final to Bayern Munich. Like they say, 'Every disappointment is a blessing.' Lampard, who was the Chelsea coach then, was looking for an experienced defender to strengthen his defense, and I happened to be the defender he wanted". "I also received an offer from Fiorentina, but the move to Chelsea seemed better for me – playing in the strongest league in Europe, and also because I wanted my kids to grow up in one of the best academies around. So, I decided to join Chelsea as a free agent under Frank Lampard, and things started getting better". "Although PSG tried to offer me a contract when I had already decided to join Chelsea, it was too late. I just wanted Chelsea at that moment. It was great working with Lampard; he's got a great mentality, he knows exactly what he wants as a coach, and I admire that a lot. He's going to go far as a coach. "I was surprised when I realized he left the Chelsea job. Then, my former coach came to replace him from PSG as well. Things really happened fast, but it happens for a reason – only God knows. I haven't told anyone this, but he told me in training at Chelsea, 'Look, Thiago, what we couldn't win with PSG, we have to work hard and win it with Chelsea.' Though the squad at Chelsea then, you'd think this team would end up in the round of 16 or at most the quarterfinals of that season's Champions League campaign. Hearing this from my coach motivated me and made me hungry to win the trophy so bad". "And just like that, we made it to the Champions League final. Everybody thought it was the end of the road for us because Man City back then were on fire, they had a better team than us and everything. Nobody believed we were going to win it, but in our minds, we wanted to win this trophy. All the young players in the squad – Reece, Mason, Havertz, and so on, they were ready and hungry for this trophy as well. I could easily tell, by looking at their faces. It was a very special and emotional moment for everyone when we overcame the fear of Man City to lift the Champions League trophy in 2021. Nobody believed in us, but God did". "There's something about Chelsea, and it's just about winning. Like after every 5 years, they seemed to be winning trophies no matter the situation. I don't know about the new era at Chelsea, but the former one loved winning and making the fans happy. Chelsea fans don't accept losses, they're hungry for more, they just want to keep winning as long as it makes them happy, and I love that. Life is about winning; though losses might happen sometimes, but they shouldn't be more than the wins". "If I ever become a coach, I'd love to work with Chelsea again. It's a dream for me."

@dsonoiki @clubbing_guy @BenStiller fair use isnt a law it’s a defense for infringing on copyright. it doesn’t transform or comment on the clip so definitely doesn’t help. it’s also propaganda which may not be commercial but it definitely goes against what the copyright holder would want that to be used

@clubbing_guy @BenStiller fair use you think you need permission to post a video clip??? or a song??? are you dumb

Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

@TheWavyRed he’s just not plus cunha plays as a left 10, not a number 9 lmfao

Joao Pedro can be scoring ridiculous amount of goals for Chelsea, but he’s gonna hold bench for Cunha in the Brazilian national team btw. 🏄‍♂️

@ritaskeeter33 @Patrick84121851 @CohenSite sherman oaks has like ten stores tops

@Patrick84121851 @CohenSite Burbank and Eaglerock have shitty shops. Eaglerock has no anchor after Macy’s closed. Sherman Oaks is still good.

Someone forgot to tell Westfield Century City that malls are dying

WHAT PHASE IS MIKE MACDONALD IN? 💀

This is incredibly cool — A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real. They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.
