It's a good thing that the year is going by so fast, right?

It's friggin' August already. Unbelievable...

Joe just can't make up his mind - 
the talent pool is just too big to pick from.


Three candidates, Karen Bass of California (never even heard of this one before), Sen. Kamala Harris of California and former national security advisor Susan Rice, have emerged as the top contenders for Biden's running mate, according to the reports from the Times and CNN. 

Harris, who ran for president in the 2020 primary, emerged as an early favorite to be Biden's vice presidential pick. However, over the past several weeks, Bass has been moving up Biden's list along with Rice.

Who among us thinks that Joe's heart just 
isn't really in this whole thing?

Thanks to Aaron Judge’s third home run in three games, Jordan Montgomery’s solid pitching performance, Chad Green’s dominating relief work and homers from Gio Urshela and Brett Gardner, the Yankees copped a 5-1 victory in their home opener Friday night in front of empty seats in a ballpark that had all the excitement of reading a lease.

Why are they even bothering? This is so fuckin' stupid this whole exercise. Without asses in the seats the whole thing is meaningless.

At last night's Nets/Magic game, before the anthem and tipoff , the NBA played a video documenting the league’s commitment to fighting social injustice and racism. 

The Nets donned Black Lives Matter shirts, and both they and the Magic players knelt for the national anthem.

What do you suppose is the end result 
they're looking for with this stupidity?

New York Times union wants ‘sensitivity reads’ 
as part of it's editorial process


The pussification of America rages ever forward.

“Get it right from the beginning: sensitivity reads should happen at the beginning of the publication process, with compensation for those who do them,” the union wrote on Twitter. It added in the memo: “Plan the 'sensitivity reads'​ at the start of the editorial process, not at the end.”

“Someone who is asked to spend more than 15 minutes performing this task should receive compensation, mirroring the existing policy for translation fees.”

Last week, photographer Adam Morland took a picture of Neowise on the coast of Oregon, and just by chance his prolonged exposure captured the eerie glow of a bioluminescent algae bloom, dancing in the surf along the shore. Afterward, Adam said he wept for joy at the sight…

I had no idea it's legal to kill yourself in New Jersey - did you?


New Jersey’s law 'empowers terminally ill residents to make their own end-of-life choices humanely and with respect and dignity...'

From August 1 to Dec. 31, 2019, six men and six women ages 50 to 93 took their own lives, according to the report compiled by the Office of the Chief State Medical Examiner.

MSNBC and CNN offered little to no on-air coverage of the release of damning documents that tie former President Bill Clinton to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Is anyone surprised by this?
