Alex Pretti’s coworkers take a moment of silence this morning

This Great Divorce, along with state controlled Police Boards created by the confederate sympathizer Governor Claiborne Fox Jackson, are among the largest structural causes for Saint Louis's continued perennial decline. They allowed rural and suburbanite barons to loot the city for over a century.

THANK YOU COMRADE LENIN

Kirby [2 days ago]: the Democratic party as a whole and individually is complicit [Truncated thread, rigorous ongoing debate] 🌊 [6 minutes ago]: well sorry, sweaty, but you'll be glad to get a nice vacation in the camps :)

HEY 🗣️🗣️🗣️❗️❗️❗️ doing some research today for work related things, and wanted to ask;; what’s a solution based in retro tech that’s your go-to for modern day problems? I’ve been thinking about a lot of old storage devices and how they compare to modern day things like hard drives, etc, but I’m so curious

"As a formal Special Forces Warrant Officer" Yeeesssssss [US military brainrot jargon] YEEEESSSSSSSS CRY HARDER

"What the fuck are these stupid books on 'abc's? Lol yeah that's gonna make them REAL interesting to talk to. Condescending much?"

something sorta funny about this one is that it's purely a branding protection lawsuit, the actual damages claim is a single united states dollar

"Reclaiming" a word or phrase is best left to the ones who are actually subject to it, but I feel like "She's not going to fuck you, dude" would be pretty easy to throw at any man who literally cannot stop berating women on the internet

This is probably just down to Togashi's truly incredible creativity but it is funny how many colorful characters which could potentially be the MC of other manga are just Gulp Shittos in Hunter x Hunter lol

TELL US YOUR THOUGHTS on Hunter x Hunter's BEST GLUP SHITTOS (obscure/background characters) for a chance to be read on the show this week! This week, we'll be joined by Writer for ANN and Podcasting Legend; @grantthethief.bsky.social to talk all about HxH's most memorable little guys and gals.

In the most bizarrely ironic twist, somehow none of these assholes learned how to handle a gun. bsky.app/profile/sean...

I don't really care whether or not anyone understands what I'm talking about I'm going to start saying "SISKO FUNKO POP" when someone throws together such a low-effort strawman

Amazing statement from the chaplain of the MN Timberwolves, I’m guessing in response to the craven press release co-signed by so many local CEOs today (inc the Timberwolves!) calling for the “deescalation of tensions” here but refusing to assign any specific blame or even *mention* ICE / CBP

Stop complaining. If you don't like this country, leave. Got a broken tail light? Abandon your car by the side of the road. Toilet not flushing? Move out of your house. Never try to solve any problem, just give up

david attenborough: [mumbling] skip. i dont like this animal. skip it.

Italian journalists were threatened in Minneapolis by ICE agents after identifying themselves as journalists. They were told if they didn’t stop filming, the agents would break the windows of the car & drag them out. "They have no regard for anyone," one reports, "you don't know how far they'll go."

Merciful God the entire cultural ecosystem is just a giant spat between Millenials and their parents and we're forced to wade through a 20 year long "I'm getting the last word" war of attrition. Enough! You're grown adults!

Because you'll be wrong about the same things for the same reasons next week. It's your job to be wrong in the right way. At least have the decency to take the paycheck and not piss and cry about the social consequences. Tbh it's rude.

When all this is over SOMEbody is going to write a thinkpiece about how we averted disaster because of how much worse it could have been and we're just going to have to take it upon ourselves to punch that guy in the dick repeatedly

It’s -2000 degrees below zero. You just flashbanged yourself twenty feet from the front desk. Three hours sleep cause locals who hate you bang garbage cans outside your room all night. The Home2Suits has fallen and you’re not getting that signing bonus for another 4.5 years. Ass. It’s all ass, dude.

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

Look I know it's the federalist papers blah blah but these guys have to say their names out loud nobody is going to read that and think anything other than "Cynical Pube"

It is truly hilarious that the answer to so many of their most exclamation heavy questions is just "Because you're an asshole and, as such, nobody likes you." All of this, just so they don't have to swallow that fact. What are you supposed to do with clowns except laugh at them?

Christ Jesus I looked at the dates on these and why the fuck does our legal system take SO LONG Do they have to wait until the evidence is a particular vintage?

It just dawned on me that I forgot Bill Clinton was a president. Was in my lifetime too (barely). I picture him presidenting and it feels like I'm watching an actor in a movie, don't have that problem with any of the rest.

Fascists spend all their time sanding off every possible feature of their personality that could individualize them, which makes them more fungible than average. This is how I explain it to myself when there's a yet another new right wing character with their own following that I've never seen

Not to be the well ackshually girl, but when it comes to whether or not what you were doing was "resisting" in an encounter with LE of any stripe: It depends entirely on the officer's feelings at the time towards you, not what you were doing - anything can be "resisting" if they feel inclined.

If people aren’t allowed to vote for a third party without fascism easily consolidating there were already problems in the system that would lead to fascism regardless of so and so’s individual choice

Malcolm McDowell was in one of those Silent Hill movies and clearly didn’t know what the fuck was going on but I remember seeing an interview with him being like “yes I’m very much like Polonius from Hamlet” and hell yes, lie to me Malcolm McDowell, make Pyramid Head seem very serious

People shrug when I tell them a single member can cause massive disruption but stories like this crystallize it.

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public

Wrote about him in TNR, prior to Renee Good. Remarkably similar incident. He’d just dropped off his kid. They rushed his car. He tried to flee. Cops then claimed he tried to run them over, despite video evidence to the contrary. Should’ve been a warning.

Realizing I probably developed Pathological Demand Avoidance in part because every complement I got growing up was just an excuse for the other person to be mediocre.

I don't like looking down on people especially when they're supposed to be teaching me but sometimes the TAs and Professors I get for my masters make it very clear that they've never been in an organization where they HAD to reliably convey step by step technical instructions to another human being

Remember when Jake Tapper and Dana Bash spent two weeks lying on national cable news about the only Palestinian member of Congress by using a completely made up quote?

the atlantic has been like this for a long time but man, it really blows that the flagship publication for american liberalism has abandoned *liberalism* wholesale because of trans athletes and woke student governments

LMFAO THE STATE OF GEORGIA HAS BANNED DEEPSEEK FOR ANY STATE AGENCIES. Every time I think I've got a handle on the scope of Sinophobia here I'm just floored anew.

There's a good reason a lot of kids in the US aren't taught much about Malcolm X beyond trying to paint him as an extremist or terrorist. Conceptually, he and men like him were a key piece of the civil rights movement, and perhaps the one the hegemon would most rather not exist.

I'm pretty sure a good chunk of the southeast has a Crème brûlée-like crust of ice over it now lmao. Thought nothing happened overnight until I saw a bunch of saplings bent over

If yall think Aaron and jay wont cave immediately if they haven’t already lmao

This is the 2026 equivalent of when Walter Cronkite went on tv and said the Vietnam War was unwinnable

He is not talking about imperial boomerang. He is saying that ICE is like Hamas

These motherfuckers are all gonna end up like that sad sack in Ghost in the Shell who gets faked memories of a daughter he never had

Thinking back I probably could've gotten a grasp on the political climate of the US purely from the reactions people had to Itachi Uchiha when I was growing up
