@EWErickson Hear me out… until we fund this spending with offsetting revenue, we shouldn’t be increasing budgets even farther into deficit. I don’t buy any talk of offsetting cuts, electeds in Congress haven’t cut any spending to offset new spending/tax cuts. Plus, we can’t cut debt service

People are stupid.

@grayco_4 @CamDaddyCaves @midwestern_ope No fair, the amount of Wisconsin lakes changes depending on if you've all had a good rain recently or not.

@PBhooligans @deepstroke28 @midwestern_ope I’m glad you all came to a civil understanding, but I’m still pissed you’re long running disagreements screwed Wisconsin out of the UP. We can walk into the UP over most of the 200+ mile border… Michiganders would need to swim or take a steamer if it weren’t for The Bridge™️!

@deepstroke28 @midwestern_ope 🤝

@fenceprobably @CamDaddyCaves @midwestern_ope For sure… but what if I start talking about how we have more lakes than you…

@CamDaddyCaves @midwestern_ope No, its more in the way that brothers fight. I could happily live in Wisconsin.

@RadioFreeTom @jwigderson Nearly 1 million by some counts

Donald Trump is Vladimir Putin’s mouth piece. FFS.

Chasing away our best friends in the world, is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.

Counterpoint: Here’s Trump threatening violence, calling for his political enemies’ executions, celebrating the deaths of people he didn’t like, and otherwise casually promoting political violence. Also there was the small matter of Jan 6 and subsequent pardons for violent felons

@joeminocqua @RickEsenberg And he’s a performative dick head for city liberals.

Good time for the semi-annual reminder that the owner of Minocqua Brewing does not live in Minocqua and his beer is brewed in Madison.

@EWErickson What journalists have contributed more to the “will he go for a 3rd term?!” more than Trump himself?

Will any of the reporters who were there last night and contributed to the authoritarian, totalitarian, democracy is threatened, will he go for a third term rhetoric reflect on the role they played that led to last night? Probably not.

@JoelMBeall @EWErickson Reading that last line

Jim Furyk accepting the 2027 Ryder Cup captaincy is the golf equivalent of that scene in an action movie when the grizzled ex-operative is sitting on his porch, finally at peace, when a black SUV rolls up the gravel drive. Furyk doesn't even turn around. "No." The suit gets out anyway. "It's Adare Manor. We're sending you in." Furyk takes a pull from his beer. "I already did my tour. You know how that went," as he stares off into the distance, the camera cutting to a yellowed NYT newspaper with the infamous interview on his desk. The suit slides a dossier across the railing. "Bethpage was a disaster. Morale is gone. Half the roster won't return our calls. You're the only one they'll follow into Ireland." You can see it in Furyk's eyes — the math of a man who knows this is almost certainly going to end badly, who remembers exactly how cold the Atlantic wind gets on foreign soil. He knows nobody else is walking through that door. He also knows this Hail Mary is the only thing that can free him from the past. Furyk picks up the folder, seeing a photo of a smiling Luke Donald shopping for shampoo and a headline announcing Patrick Reed is back in form. Furyk goes to his shed, takes off the tarp from his captain golf cart. "One more thing," the suit says. "Bryson is thinking about being a full-time YouTuber." Furyk laughs. "Good. For a second I was thinking this was going to be too easy."

GIVE ME ALL THE ARTEMIS IPHONE VIDEOS WOWWWW

this is crazy cause they wrote this scene to make daenerys look like a fascist authoritarian ruler and he literally said omg that's me

It’s gonna be fun when all the details in the Atlantic article are confirmed and these guys are all proved bold faced liars. Kinda like when the Atlantic nuked Hegseth with receipts after everyone in the admin accused the Atlantic of salacious reporting.

@TheCinesthetic @EWErickson Absolutely correct. Solo was a good movie, and Ehrenreich’s Han was interesting and fine.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) took heat it never really earned. Alden Ehrenreich’s Han isn’t trying to imitate Harrison Ford, he’s playing the version of Han before the cynicism set in. More open, more hopeful, still figuring himself out.

😂

The most exciting longevity trend right now is that we are actually beating dementia. At a given age—70, 75, 80, etc.—the prevalence of dementia is down compared to what it was decades ago. Today's 90-year-olds have less than half the risk of dementia that ones in 1984 did!

@RealJacobPerry I mean, at least people nearly universally hate Vance after they hear him speak a few times 🤷🏼‍♂️
