@craigcalcaterra As a former journalist (if small-time, newspaper sportswriting a decade ago counts), it all looks pretty bleak. Looking forward to reading.

@craigcalcaterra I found your post this morning to be both depressing and moving. Do you offer a free trial for your newsletter, by chance? All the best.

@craigcalcaterra Subscribed. Also, as someone who also despairs at our current state, I was hoping you might consider recommending - either in newsletter form or just a reply - how likeminded folks might stay informed, not be in a silo, but also not go insane. 1/2

@craigcalcaterra No need for anything like that, though I appreciate the gesture! I'll be signing up shortly.

Not too sure that Republicans going from calling Puerto Ricans garbage to calling a woman garbage is the whiz-bang political chess move they think it is

when protecting pussies and firing pussies can happen all in one vote #votecauseicant #TanSuitSeason

Trump: "Somebody put on a comedian and he joked, he mentioned Puerto Rico... I guess he said some joke, I haven't heard the joke, but he said some joke and he mentioned Puerto Rico... They made this one comedian telling one little joke early in the show, when nobody had even started going into the arena, practically... I have no idea who he is... he mentioned Puerto Rico and they made a big deal."

Trump says when he heard about Hurricane Helene, which killed hundreds of Americans, he immediately thought, “Wow, this is going to be devastating for the election”

When I heard that Tucker Carlson was attacked by a demon, I went into fight or flight mode, left the mini-golf place where I was with my kids, went home, got my crucifix, peeled all my garlic, and stood like a sentry with holy water at my front door.

@metzgov What an absolute lying douche.

@tylermilliken_ Steroids are a hell of a drug.

This is what David Ortiz did to people. Going through these old 2013 clips just makes you kinda shake your head about what he was doing. .668/.760/1.188/1.948 in 6 WS games isn’t even video games numbers. Didn’t feel human back then, still doesn’t now.

@KitMaherCNN 💀💀💀

Another instant classic of the “real photos that look like AI” genre

i recommend not wearing vests in the same color as your face

A little treat for the bobcats

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

Good thing Trump didn't apologize....things are definitely blowing over 🤣😂
