I'll start this week; hoping for a quiet week is like hoping a newborn will sleep all night. Pointless.

This is incredibly nit picky, but I'm annoyed 45 used an apostrophe in his Presidents Day tweet (President's). It's not your day, dude.

Bloomberg made tomorrow’s debate. Yay, another old white man arguing he knows what’s best for the country. 🙄

Also #bernieintacoma is trending and I read it as Bernies in a coma. However much I dislike him, I’m glad he is in Tacoma and not in a coma. Lol

I am tickled to see the Giants’ statement on banning Aubrey Huff from the 2010 championship team reunion later this year. He’s a pig. jaygee

I just finished Catch and Kill and I’m feeling extra conspiracy-theory-ish about everything to do with the media, elections, and people with power. Watching all of the serious Democratic female candidates get starved of positive media attention is so disheartening and knowing that it is almost certainly not in good faith is worse.
I’m super late to the game here, but seeing all of Farrow’s reporting woven together in a single cohesive narrative about how powerful men with bad intentions control so much of the media narrative really just floored me. I read all of the reporting as it came out, but the book still emotionally hit me like a wrecking ball (thanks, Miley).

Just wanted to add that I think Castro and Booker were badly hurt by media bias in the same way, some of it certainly explicitly racially motivated. Fucking white males in power and old boys networks and white supremacy.

Dude was questionable them but has gone off the rails since retiring. I’m just seeing his tweets about them hiring a female assistant coach. Love how he tagged a bunch of players that I’m fairly sure want nothing to do with him or his views.

But they are basically erasing Warren now. Cutting into her speeches for Biden, not airing one in NH. They are focusing a bit more on Amy but no where NEAR the coverage Blooberg (typo I aint fixing) is getting and its exhausting.

I dont know him very well. His wife was on tv, she seems pretty nice. Many people didn't agree with the sentence, he's a democrat.
lord help us from the word salad. (I also spelled Rods name wrong up there)
he also pardoned Kerik, former NYPD commissioner convicted of tax fraud.
this is absolutely ridiculous

He forgets to mention that many of us didn't agree with the sentence because we thought he got off easy. Sorry, gets my blood boiling.
