Again, 25,000 people just happens to be the extra SRO capacity for concerts at a more famous Bronx venue, the number of people who can fit in its infeld and outfield and still have enough room to groove a little bit.

That venue would be Yankee Stadium.

The day that Trump needs or can fill Yankee Fucking Stadium is the day that the devil will need ice skates.

I kinda think that if there were 25,000 people there, you wouldn't be able to count individuals in an overhead shot: https://www.mediaite.com/tv/overhead-shot-of-trumps-bronx-rally-tells-a-different-story-about-crowd-size/

The permit size of 3500 looks to be closer to the mark, to my eye.

Why do so many of the MAGAt hierarchy have unfortunate facial features? This clown, Roger Stone (who only has half a skull, apparently), etc. they remind me of the creepy villains from the old Dick Tracy comic strip.

DeNiro is such a hack. Nobody watches his movies anymore.

Now Ted Nugent, he can fill the VFW hall in Pig Anus, Arkansas most any weekend. That's star power right there!

And that movie of DeNiro's, what was it, "The Godfather, Too" (?), I dunno, nobody remembers it (or that "Uber Driver" thing, whatever it was called), came nowhere near the popularity of Kevin Sorbo's masterpiece, "Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist," which was skipped over for the Oscars because WOKEATHEISTLIBERALWOKE.

Fifty centigrade in India. Only question is when Republicans in Florida are going to ban the word "India".

And I thought "streaking" was a 70s thing, but I guess it is still a thing in Australia. (See story #3):

To be fair this one time, storms do that sort of damage even to decent grids.

But I can't help but wonder if a decent grid woulda withstood a bit better

The storms are also bigger and stronger and come between bouts of crippling heat. But these are just the tiny initial ripples of the climate tsunami that’s coming

I have a couple of cases before me with this one defendant and issued a warrant within the last week because she failed to appear for court and I just saw in the paper that she was identified as the body that was found two weeks ago. Shot.

I feel unsettled. It’s weird calling a dead person’s name.

Rest In Peace. She didn’t have an easy life.

It's good news because it counters the christian nationalist talking points about how *everyone* agrees with them.

Well, but 'everyone' is generally understood to mean, 'everyone they know who looks and thinks and acts just like them'. Anyone else is just a non-person.

No, but they'd already gotten some AAPI people on their side by making them believe affirmative action hurt them, so I can see why the right would try to get them to buy more bullshit.

I remember one of our wonks was all upset that affirmative action was taking their kid's college spot. We all explained it out, but when people as aware as we are get suckered like that, I ain't got much hope for normal people who only half pay attention to politics, or do not pay any at all.

"normal people who only half pay attention" ... to anything outside their little bubble. I believe this was exacerbated by the COVID lockdowns: everyone was forced to be isolated, and a LOT of people never returned to society.
