Bro’s entire career is built on single-source stenography of rumors an owner or c-suite chucklehead heard from afar. “Lickspittle” is underselling it.

@lemieuxlgm.bsky.socialSeveral days later, I still can't get over that a piece claiming that it's *harder* to find books now managed to survive the pitch stage
@nicholasgrossman.bsky.socialReposted by @lemieuxlgm.bsky.socialTrump and Co are baffled that Ukraine and Iran haven’t capitulated. It doesn’t make sense to them. In their worldview, their very sense of self, this isn’t how things work. So they yell at the attacked country to quit, tell everyone it’s about to happen, then get upset that it doesn’t. And repeat.

@lemieuxlgm.bsky.socialMoises is one of my favorite players ever but this was always so stupid. The ball was hit into the stands, and after the foul ball the Cubs had a 3-0 lead with one out in the 8th. Giving Bartman even an iota of blame for what happened was always pathetic
@lemieuxlgm.bsky.socialThe question is how many of these moron-American voters actually feel betrayed because the Donald Trump they made up turned out not to be real, and how many will just move on to making up a JD Vance to support (and an imaginary Democrat to oppose)
