That salami was quite grand.

Helen Lewis's newest article is a masterclass on someone who desperately loves a writer and yet has entirely failed to understand the most important elements of their works. It's like the dudebros who list 'Fight Club' as their favourite book because they think it's about manly boxing matches.

A few people have posted about UFC's posting of an image for the upcoming fight for Trump's birthday on the White House lawn which involved a US flag with only 48 stars. So my question is when does the Hunger Games style tournament start to decide which two states get to join Canada?

The DoE is making some wonderfully unintentional satire here.

He's quite good at this.

Various TTC unions are considering the same thing.

I truly and fully do NOT have time to watch this NEARLY-FOUR-HOUR vid the algorithm just threw me wherein a private investigator pulls apart the evidence that supposedly exonerates Neil Gaiman, but god DAMN, now THAT'S how you make a thumbnail! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FQ8...

The US tourism industry is already reeling. This requirement is going to wipe it out. The 2028 Olympics is going to be a ghost town.

I am enjoying a lot of white incel assholes following their godking Musk in a crusade against an adaptation of a book they've never read because it doesn't fit the esthetics of a BBC adaptation from the 70s that they'd never watch. This is the 'Mountain Dew dark sea' of chuds and morons.

Discovering there's a tier below "As Seen on TV"

That was a pretty good salami. I'd almost call it grand.

Being a Jays fan right now against the Rays: 'Based loaded, no one out, how do they fuck this one up?'

I really think that the outcome of Russia's ill fated invasion of the Ukraine is going to be a severe upgrade in the military capabilities and willingness to deploy them against Russian aggression from the countries that border it.

Oh, look, I have a meme.

I am very sure if Mandalorian flops, Star Wars is over. Makes perfect sense. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

I remain bewildered how the Boston Red Sox have suffered so many injuries so far this season.

Important thread.

He refers to the US as “hot” because he wants to fuck it in every way possible.

While the ”Narva scenario” has become such a popular doom narrative that it even has its own Wikipedia page, trying to take it wouldn’t be a walk in the park for Russian little green men. Here’s four reasons why. With Marek Kohv @icds-tallinn.bsky.social

My favorite sentence in this article is “catfish, which is safe to eat,”

When you fight, you can win.

They got their six seasons so I guess they're due for the movie. www.launchoracle.com/knights-of-g...

If you ever wanted to see the weak supine face of evil in service to their masters who hate them and hold them in contempt, Bari is their poster girl.

It's also important to understand in some of these markets like soybeans, the US is now locked out of the main global markets by other deals. Which means even if Big Agri buys all these farms, they'll need to switch crops which is a massively expensive process.

Kate is extremely smart and well informed, so I trust her reporting. But man, if Putin thinks that NATO will be paralyzed without the US, the Ukraine has already showed how degraded their military is. Adding Poland to the war pretty much just hastens the end for them.

WHCD2 is going to be a brutal sequel. It will feature the worst elements of bootlicking, some 'Strength and Power' feature that shows Trump as a superhero, and if there is any justice, an in memoriam for all the journalists with integrity and spine that the current class is an embarrassment to.

This is not wrong.

Anyone who mocks Ocasio-Cortez for being a bartender - rather than seeing those skills are a significant part of her arsenal - is the sort of person who's never in their life gotten a free drink.

we all know I have no life, so:

And because people ask, Becerra has the most growth potential from everyone who leaves the primary and has the right resume for a consensus candidate. Porter and Steyer have a bunch of baggage he doesn't, and as it gets closer to the potential of two GOP candidates, they'll bleed voters to him.

My random big political race opinion of the year. I think Xavier Becerra navigates the primary and becomes the next Governor of California.

Everything about our Iran War being conducted by a party that can only lie, complain and punish feels like an overly elaborate exploration of @veryimportant.lawyer's theory that Everyone Is 12 Now.

This looks like straight up trash, but the cast makes me think this could end up being a lot of fun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt4X...

I've tried to stand against the irrational Jeff Hoffman hate but I can't stand against the totally rational Jeff Hoffman hate.

100% chance these farmers vote for Vance or Rubio or whoever in 2028

I'm good with a Pope that angrily waves his hot dog and Miller Lite yelling 'Blue, that was a strike! Are you fucking blind!"

Not going to lie, a lot of my atheism is based on contempt for the corruption of organized religion. That said, I want to hang out with Pope Leo as he batters people with a bat and we grab beers watching the White Sox later.

Trump sending Vance, Witkoff and Kushner to Pakistan for ceasefire talks with Iran. Based on that level of talent in the room, the Straits of Hormuz will re-open shortly after Iran formally takes possession of Hawaii, Alaska, and the woke parts of California from the United States.

My feed is full of two types of people. People nerding out and cheering the Artemis II landing and people nerding out and cheering their cats attacking the television broadcast of the Artemis II landing like Kaiju.

A lot of this can be laid at the feet of tech reporting in the 90s. It was a suddenly booming field for reporters and the key story was the dorky computer guy who was now a billionaire and owned the world due to his work coding and developing software in his basement/garage during the 80s.

There was no negotiations, no brokering, no deal. Trump backed himself in a corner and needed a way out. Iran obliged, because the cost was zero and the benefits were significant (no more US bombing and keeping China onside). Everything else is wasted effort.
