You know the SNL skit everyone is sharing about the midterms is from 2018, right?

I know when I want to get my finger on the pulse of what "working class" people like and want, the best place to go is DC/NY pundits who spend 90 percent of their time screaming on twitter dot com

one of the greatest, if not the greatest, commercials of all time. i think about it often.
On this day in 2004, one of the darkest days in franchise history as the @BurgerKing King takes the tipped Bledsoe screen to the house.

Is there anything worse than the sheer scale of AI slop posts providing the most mundane, bathtub-deep analysis of famous movies and shows? God, it sucks

Lol the number of tweets that are being sent about how many tweets someone did or did not send about Hasan Piker, and the incredible journalism on display therein. Wherever did you all learn to COUNT like that? We mortals can only wonder.

A journalist ambushing another journalist for occasionally mentioning a major national figure because it might hurt Democrats is pretty on the nose, zeitgeist-wise.
Me: "Do you know how many times you've tweeted about Piker since you wrote that tweet [about not tweeting about him] on August 30th?" @mattyglesias: "Probably more than I intended to." Me: "8 times.... you tweeted about Mike Rogers 6 times. So you're tweeting about the streamer you didn't want to talk about more than the Republican candidate you say you want to defeat." Yglesias: "Yeah, that's fair." Me: "Why?" Yglesias: "What do you want me to say? You got me." From my new Zeteo interview with the top centrist pundit - on the left, Michigan, Gaza, immigration, polls, electability, and more: zeteo.com/p/matt-yglesias-me…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Yglesias's posts since Aug 30 include ~5 mentioning Piker and at least 9 mentioning Rogers/Rodgers, not 8 and 6. Hasan posted about Piker ~35 times in the period. x.com/mehdirhasan/st… x.com/ThomasVLinge/s… zeteo.com/p/matt-yglesia… x.com/mattyglesias/s… x.com/mattyglesias/s… x.com/mattyglesias/s… x.com/mattyglesias/s… x.com/mattyglesias/s… x.com/augustcohen4/s…

2028 Watch-NOW on @FoxNews - Former White House Press Secy. @karolineleavitt, asked if she'll run for office again in her home state of New Hampshire, tells me "No, I'm all set. I don't have any plans to run for office...in the future at all...right now I'm really focused on being a wife and a mother to my two very young children" foxnews.com/politics/leavitt… #nhpolitics

Yeah, not paying $500 for mediocre seats to watch this trainwreck of a team. Nice stadium but it’s like going to the mall, not an intimidating home field in the slightest. It’s better for a concert than football
Mercedes Benz Stadium is going to continue to be devoid of Falcons fans as long as the franchise continues putting a losing product on the field, and none of that is the fans’ fault

SEC going to have to start issuing lifetime bans en masse at this rate
Hated to see this after the game. Fans are frustrated but no need to run onto the field and do this.

Looks like a sterile shopping mall out there in Chavez Ravine
Attendance: 49.104. The Dodgers have the biggest seating capacity in MLB, but have failed to sell out any of their four postseason games at Dodger Stadium

BREAKING: President Trump says he's leaving Katie Zacharia's future as White House press secretary up to her, acknowledging that the media has been "tough" on his newest spokesperson. Zacharia is facing intense scrutiny just days into the job, with questions surrounding her legal credentials and a debut White House briefing that lasted just 14 minutes. Now, Trump is putting the decision about her future in her hands.

"So, Kirk. A fourth loss for the Vols. What do you make of their playoff case?" "Well, Chris, I want you to look past the 0-4 record against ranked opponents. This is a team who played an SEC schedule, who could get hot at any minute if the committee just gives them a chance."

The year is 2040. 64 teams make the CFP. The entire SEC gets an autobid. The committee leaves out 12-1 JMU for 4-8 Purdue. You cant complain cause Flock owns everything. Notre Dame misses the playoffs and opts to not play in the Palantir Bowl sponsored by Kalshi. Life is good.

It's the year 2056, and your team has just pulled off a last-second field goal to get to 3-9 and gotten the coveted 128th spot in the college football national championship playoff. life is good, life is sweet xitter.cf/PeteThamel/status/2110…
Sources: The College Football Playoff is nearing a deal to expand to 24 teams, per sources. The new format will start in 2027 and is expected to come together in the near future, pending final approvals.

Democrats overperforming in 2022 likely hurt them in 2024. Suppose Republicans really do have a wave that year...maybe Biden thinks time to move on at that point. But they did surprisingly well to avoid a GOP romp and held Senate...Pyrrhic victory xitter.cf/daveweigel/status/2110…
Always interesting to imagine what the Biden legacy would have been had he said in January 2023 "we had a pretty good midterm, my work is done here, enjoy the open primary."
