I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day. And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.

75K salary with 500k as a windfall with no student loans is an absolutely wonderful place to be at 23 years old lol. This is what out of touch looks like
Ding. Ding. Ding. It’s not the top kids that this system will fail. It’s the kids who make $500k and then $600k. They graduate, their careers sputter out and then go to get an office job and make $75k. What are they going to do then. The ncaa won’t care…

oh nooooo, the mayor who’s lowered baltimore’s murder rate to historically low numbers is using a minuscule portion of the budget to take care of the staffers who helped him do so, oh noooooo

Fact check: The total for meals was actually $801,000, not $1 million. That total is for all home games over three years, AND includes money spent for meals outside of Ravens games, including office parties, events and even funerals. The money was spent only at local restaurants. Mayor Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 60%. Give the man his damn crab legs and stop lying on him.

If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the education job is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology. Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.

Still can’t get over the fact that the “working families tax cut” is just another handout for retired boomers
Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts, individuals who are age 65 and older may claim an additional deduction of $6,000. This new deduction is in addition to the current additional standard deduction for seniors under existing law.

what makes the wire so profoundly beautiful is that it was written by a crime and investigative journalist who completely understood the nuances involved in a city like baltimore, from the police dept’s pov to the addict’s. tv may never see such greatness again

The Wire is the most literary TV show ever made It has the themes, depth, and scope of a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Other shows might be more entertaining or popular, but none have the narrative and thematic craftsmanship of The Wire. Not Sopranos, not Breaking Bad, etc.
The Wire is directly responsible for so much of the prestige television we’ve come to know over the last 25 years. This show walked so your favorite show could run- and that applies to The Sorpanos as well. This show opened doors & changed both HBO and television for the better.

COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.

I’ve served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I’m 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America. Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S. Mexico border. Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs. If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn’t the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels? And if prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America? Ironically cocaine is the same drug that Venezuela primarily traffics into the U.S. The next obvious observation is that by removing Maduro this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies that will ensure stability for the next obvious regime change war in Iran. And of course why is it ok for America to militarily invade, bomb, and arrest a foreign leader but Russia is evil for invading Ukraine and China is bad for aggression against Taiwan? Is it only ok if we do it? (I’m not endorsing Russia or China) Regime change, funding foreign wars, and American’s tax dollars being consistently funneled to foreign causes, foreigners both home and abroad, and foreign governments while Americans are consistently facing increasing cost of living, housing, healthcare, and learn about scams and fraud of their tax dollars is what has most Americans enraged. Especially the younger generations. Boomers and half of Gen X will cheer on neocon wars and talking points, but the other half of Gen X and majority on down see through it and hate it. Americans disgust with our own government’s never ending military aggression and support of foreign wars is justified because we are forced to pay for it and both parties, Republicans and Democrats, always keep the Washington military machine funded and going. This is what many in MAGA thought they voted to end. Boy were we wrong. As the baby boomers slip away both in votes and power, the electoral future will be decided for candidates that focus on American economic populism and promising prosperity for Americans only. As of right now, neither party is offering the solution.

Netflix CEO announcing price increase now that it owns The Wire, The Sopranos & GOT.
Netflix is officially buying Warner Bros. and HBO Max in an $82.7 billion deal. “Our mission has always been to entertain the world,” said Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos. “By combining Warner Bros.’ incredible library of shows and movies—from timeless classics like 'Casablanca' and 'Citizen Kane' to modern favorites like 'Harry Potter' and 'Friends'—with our culture-defining titles like 'Stranger Things,' 'KPop Demon Hunters' and' Squid Game,' we’ll be able to do that even better. Together, we can give audiences more of what they love and help define the next century of storytelling.” “Today’s announcement combines two of the greatest storytelling companies in the world to bring to even more people the entertainment they love to watch the most,” said WBD CEO David Zaslav. “For more than a century, Warner Bros. has thrilled audiences, captured the world’s attention, and shaped our culture. By coming together with Netflix, we will ensure people everywhere will continue to enjoy the world’s most resonant stories for generations to come.” Read more here: variety.com/2025/tv/news/net…

.@AOC says of Mamdani victory: "A lot of people...are willing to talk about party unity when it serves them, but not party unity when it serves everybody." "We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind."
