Donald Trump does not have the power to make you stupid. That's your choice.

Brunson just absolutely took this thing over down the stretch. What a hoss.

Just let Brunson go. We could tell right away everything on his face without a word.

Jalen Brunson of the @nyknicks is the second player in NBA history to score 45 points on the road in a title-clinching victory. The other was Michael Jordan at Utah in 1998.

One of the worst things the progressive movement has done for society is convince large numbers of people that the success of others necessarily came at their expense. It’s bred so much resentment. And it simply isn’t true.
I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die. And there is now a trillionaire.

It’s the 40th anniversary of Back to School, which features one of the best meta jokes ever. Rodney Dangerfield hires Kurt Vonnegut to write a paper about Kurt Vonnegut… and Sally Kellerman gives it an F, saying the writer “doesn’t know the first thing about Kurt Vonnegut.”

Ernie, Shaq, Charles, & Kenny are an inner-circle studio crew. Maybe the best ever across the major sports.

When Peter Navarro makes a crackpot claim that 100% of tariff incidence is paid by foreign countries, the econ profession rightfully mocks him. When Gabriel Zucman makes a crackpot claim that 100% of corporate tax incidence is paid by shareholders, he gets the Clark medal.

I looked up this same pollster’s (Qantas) most recent survey in which they asked about the generic congressional ballot (June 4) In that poll Dems were overall 5 on the congressional ballot. Among non-college grads, the GOP was 6.2 … identical to Collins’ share in the Maine poll. Among college grads, Dems were 20. In the Maine poll, Platner is 11. Among those with a graduate degree, Dems were 24, Platner is 14. It’s one poll and this is not a one-to-one comparison but these numbers suggest that Platner is perhaps not making inroads with working class voters and might be losing support with college educated voters. Obviously it’s early & things can change but these numbers suggest that the entire premise of the Platner campaign — that he is uniquely positioned to win over working class voters because of he allegedly working class background — is not happening
Collins 6 with non-college grads Platner 11 with college grads …

Wait, isn’t our current health insurance system Obamacare?
People can’t afford health insurance, inflation is through the roof, gas prices are soaring and immigrant children are locked in prison camps, but sure let’s do motorcycle flips on the lawn of the WH to celebrate an egotistical president‘s birthday.

If humans were to adopt monkey economics, we too could enjoy the luxury and wealth of monkey civilization.
in nature if a monkey hoarded 1 trillion bananas the other monkeys would beat that monkey to death and take his bananas

Wow, what were the odds that Zohran would win that lottery?
1,000 New Yorkers won our lottery for affordable tickets to the World Cup. Today, we celebrated in the stands for the first NY/NJ game of the tournament. The beautiful game belongs to everyone.

Looks like Hochul did too
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani scored exclusive high-priced tickets to multiple World Cup matches for free, his reps confirmed Saturday, while insisting he’s not snubbing city ethics rules. nypost.com/2026/06/13/us-new…

An extremely reliable test of whether you're an honest, sane, & decent human being is whether you agree with this. If you don't, you're not.
