the hungry observatory

basically the whole thing is the result of a conspiracy involving less than 10 bilious transphobes, most of them at The Atlantic or the NYT bsky.app/profile/kiss...

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

Billionaires must be targeted with tax policy and antitrust policy not because it helps everyone else (though it does) but because their political power must be limited so they can't wreck the world the way they're currently doing

Just imagine the level of criminality that compels a President who was already personally granted full immunity by Supreme Court for anything related to 'official acts' to think that's not enough, he must *also* have his DOJ release all civil claims against him, two of his kids, and his company.

All of my political views and policy ideas have basically collapsed to "Punish the Villains" and I mumble it to myself every time I see a news article these days

Of course Wemby plays chess. Another sport where being 7’3’’ helps him dominate. From that height he can see his opponents side of the board!

the degradation and dehumanization of Muslims and Arabs is a bipartisan project endorsed by *every* institution of American society, from Hollywood to CNN to our imperial adventures and government officials. Not only is it accepted bigotry, but it is literally your entry pass into the halls of power

Rep. Ogles: "Muslims don’t belong in American society," Rep. Fine on "mainstream Muslims": "I think you should destroy them first" Sen. Tuberville: "The enemy is inside the gates". Rep. Roy posted "No more Muslims" on his social media. None of them censured by Democrats. No penalty.

The insurrectionist pedophile in question is Andrew Paul Johnson and it is public record that he tried to silence his victim(s) with promises of Trump millions for J6.

Feels impossible to convey to anyone under 35 or so how SI’s whole thing for decades was “we have the very best sportswriting.” That was the brand. Three generations of kids like me grew up with SI as the inspiration for our careers and as the dream job we all aspired to.

every time I think I should be nicer to economists, one opens their mouth and says something like: “why should I verify the sources i cite?”

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

Invite me to the strategy session for getting financial and other reparations for ICE terror. An actual opposition political party would be calling people together now to work on this. They would be preparing the public for this now.

this has got to be the worst time in american history to make the totally sensible and correct argument that we should pay people in congress more than we do

When was the last time a home team came out this pathetic in game 7

What a nightmare of a game to end the season with. Ultimately they reset the standard with 60 wins and making it out of the first round. But going out like this tastes bitter regardless of what expectations were during preseason. One of their worst performances in a long time.

Remember when Harris was scoring 20+ a game for a stretch there

I hate watching this team sometimes

Cavs 55, Pistons 35 with 2:53 left until halftime. On one hand, they've missed their share of makeable shots. On the other hand, they're giving up too many open 3s. But at least they're putting the Cavs on the line too much.

We love to see the ref call a foul only after getting a look from Harden. Great basketball

Stop leaving Sam Merrill open lmao

Those ~3 transition bunnies Detroit fumbled in the first quarter are looking large

Tone-setting type of foul

It feels spiritually similar to the Max Bredeson jersey I got last year

Duren :/

Love how Ausar Thompson plays

this would make a great exclamation

hey john. its your cousin marvin. marvin cage! you know that new sound youve been looking for? well listen to this *hangs up phone*

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

no trial, straight to jail for whoever decided to put a game 7 on prime

Pistons, I had doubts, but this was great. (Also, I enjoy when games are on Amazon cause I may be 45s behind, but my pirated Canadian feed has much calmer and friendlier commercials.)

Well well well if it isn't another chance to watch Game 7 James Harden

Look who wants to start barking now lmao

That's why they named the sport after him

TORK TORK TORK 🗣️

lmaooooooooo harden's flop cost them a bucket via court sweat

Duren is making up for the bullshit absence of Ausar. Love it

Duncan dimes

AUSAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR

Ball only lies sometimes

Duren heard us talking (finally)

cade on track to have one of those games people talk about when his career ends

i wish the thompsii could get to a point where they're merely bad shooters instead of catastrophic shooters

"B-Ball Paul" is one of the most fitting sports nicknames ever

The way this game is being officiated is not doing much to dispell my conspiracy theories

Idk if it's just me but that seemed like Durens best Q of the series

this is the last photo on my parents' video birdfeeder before it was mysteriously destroyed we may never know what happened
