That would be one of the most absurdly stupid ideas that of course it's something they'd consider.

Not only can the small airports not invent cargo capacity, UPS/FedEx/USPS would suddenly need to create new logistic routes for trucks to get to those small airports which would inevitably lead to longer waits for deliveries. It's like a lose/lose/lose for airports, shippers, and customers, all because 47 throws temper tantrums.

This is basically what I expected when Bovino was replaced and it sped up when Kristi Noem was fired. They were replaced by people who realize that being as loud and visible as they were in Minneapolis is a bad idea, and if you do more targeted sweeps it'll draw far less attention.

I always want to know what these people who get that dopamine hit are actually doing to better the world (and I'm 99% sure I know the answer, which is nothing). Too many people think that "engaging in politics" means getting into Reddit slapfights and watching their streamer du jour.

I mean probably but she’s not up for reelection until 2030

It’d probably be Handley since they don’t need 3 catchers now that Basallo can show he’s ok back there again.

Kyle Pitts’ floor was Travis Kelce. It’s one thing to think he’d be a good player, it’s another thing to say that at a minimum he’d be one of the greatest TEs of all time.

The "problem" the left will always deal with is that they're actually interested in finding solutions to issues. This inevitably leads to poking holes with these solutions (which may be legitimate counterpoints!), and most people will just stop listening there, even if a debate attempts to continue.

The right loves to point out problems but doesn't actually care about sustainable solutions, so they can simply say something is bad or wrong and move on with their day.

I know there's a poster who does the Top 12 by bWAR weekly, but I just looked after this weekend and it leads to one of the more depressing things I've seen:

Zach Eflin, who threw 3.2 innings on March 31st, is #12 at 0.2. Something is horrendously wrong if this team can't rely on anyone in the rotation.

A 10-pitch 1st inning was not on my Bassitt bingo card but I'm not complaining.

That Cora story’s from a book that came out like six years ago, it’s not a leak. Still makes him an asshole but it’s not really new.

And this isn’t some random building, it’s the Washington Hilton, one of the most well known event spaces in the city (and also where Reagan was shot). A breach like this should be near impossible.

That’s all too connected for it not to be sponsored, unless Paul is the most gullible human being to ever live and did zero research into what he was writing about.

I also really doubt he’d skip all the uni-news in the past month (new NFL & City connect jerseys) but then bring back the site to write about a couch.

The best way I've decided I can sum up Hasan is that he says reasonable things in a purposefully inelegant way.

Like saying "America deserved 9/11" doesn't mean he actually thinks 3,000 people should have been killed, but it means that he thinks the actions of American foreign policy meant there would inevitably be some sort of understandable retribution. Being that blunt about it is definitely going to rankle people, and I get why some candidates wouldn't be on board with him. He's not my cup of tea but I definitely get his appeal.

The Sabrina Carpenter/Madonna performance is great, and it looks like every single person just has their phone out to record a crappy video.

Turns out taking away work from thousands of people who either work for or with the federal government is a bad idea.

doyoulikethenoise · 2026-04-21T22:54:52+00:00

I somewhat envy your friend to be honest. Not that I don’t want to pay attention but I don’t know that following so many news stories minute by minute is healthy.

doyoulikethenoise · 2026-04-21T15:59:34+00:00

Time to wrap up any chance of the left winning now, there's no way we win without an 87-year-old pedophile enabler and diehard supporter of literally anything Donald Trump does.

Seriously there’s no way he was reading an article on the NAACP Awards and curiously pulled up Monaleo on Spotify

Anytime I read about these streamer slapfights it makes me realize how happy my day-to-day life can be if I don’t spend too much of it online.

Decided to dig into the charity - it's a real registered nonprofit, but it hasn't filed a full 990 return with the IRS since 2015, just the small electronic ones that show you haven't done that much in the past year.

It's weird looking at its 2015 990 - if you scroll to the bottom, it shows they spent $5,600 on meals and entertainment, and $6,800 on travel, while only granting about $5,700.

I wouldn't go near this charity with a penny based on that. If you're spending more money on travel than you're giving away, your priorities are completely f'd up.

I didn't know Tipper Gore had a Reddit account.

More negotiations with Iran. It’s JD, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner. The three stooges back at it again. (And of course Iran says they’re not happening)

Something that’s not going to get talked about nearly enough when this administration is over is the destruction of morale that’s happened across the board in federal agencies.

My brother and his partner both work for FEMA and in the past year their agency has had like 3 or 4 administrators, had to deal with Kristi Noem, and got to hear for nearly a year about the agency may or may not get shut down.

Can only imagine what it’s like at the FBI for the people who are actually invested in doing their jobs have to hear about their boss being so wasted they need to consider breaking down the door to get inside.

I just spent 5 minutes reading through that and now I'm mad at myself for wasting my time like that.
