After his successful consolidation of power, the Leader prepares show trials for those who resisted his failed first putsch.

@holiday_voss Appeal to authority except the authority is not an expert. Nice!

Well this is embarrassing.

@pbpope Happy to help one of the Naomis.

Here’s something positive! You beautiful people. Elyse has raised over $500 for her band’s fundraiser! She’s aiming for $750! However you’re feeling today, I hope this brings you joy. Know that you have the heartfelt gratitude of a spunky 10-year old and her father. THANK YOU.

Here’s how Sisyphus can still reach the top:

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California. That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people. Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime. It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand. I want to tune out. But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. And I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious. For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing. The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better. It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed! But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems. It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger. That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz. Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us. And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. vote.org

Mariachi F1 music goes so hard.

When I was a young man discovering Friedrich Hayek, I worried about state retaliation against businesses that exercised legal speech rights. Decades later, DeSantis and Trump have made state retaliation against business speech a central principle of the conservative movement.

Liam Lawson not having a seat blows my mind.

More @SteveNoviello on the @thedumbzone.

@BJ_owns we need an audio gaffe breakdown on the UT / Mich pregame. Good Lord.

Of course MAGA is making fun of a special needs child showing love for his father. There’s no bottom.

@NotJackKemp and @bracketdan, here's at least one classic instance of "doubling efforts"—as opposed to "redoubling" youtu.be/j6o93Gwiarc?si…

The joke has always been “LeBron is the team’s real GM.” Now armed with a $50+ million player option, a no-trade clause, and an additional family member on the roster — we might need to promote him to President of Basketball Operations.

@SeanCBass Strong to quite strong.

I mean, I think what’s going on is sort of boring: people don’t like his tweets about other subjects and then sort of conflate them with the models into one thing. But that’s absurd. That’s something stupid people do.

@dallas_indallas Feeling good about it.

Lol that'll do it
