Apparently the Atlantic found out that babies with way too much money pay astronomical amounts so they can all get the exact same black-and-grey tattoo without feeling any pain. Seriously amazed that I knew EXACTLY what it would be before the description. www.theatlantic.com/health/2025/...

Listen, I’m not going to look this up, but I’m 99% the Bears are undefeated during Fat Bear Week

Olamide Zaccheaus went for the jumping celebration with DJ Moore who didn't see him 😭🤣

Hey you wanna feel old as shit? The seniors on the "I'm a man, I'm 40" Mike Gundy team are now 40.

Kat knows that the key to my heart (and political donations) is spite. I'll be proud when she represents my old district in Congress

big cats acting like little cats is one of life’s great joys

If you have an extra $10 a month to spare, here's a list of worker-owned cooperative news sites you might want to support: • 404 Media • Defector • The Flytrap • Flaming Hydra • The Appeal • Aftermath • Racket • Hell Gate • The 51st • The Colorado Sun • Range Media • Discourse Blog • Pop Heist

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

Me to every single Oxford comma I see when editing:

The uniting theme of the supposed age of AI and the M&A/private equity apocalypse is that the world is controlled by people who literally cannot imagine ever deriving joy or meaning or satisfaction from any activity or pursuit for its own sake if it doesn't make money.

Registering for a protest was always a terrible idea, but it's beyond ludicrous to do so given everything we know about this administration. Go out and protest, of course, but don't put your name on an easily findable list

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

Even the fictional family Schumer hallucinates before making any decision knows he isn't up for the moment. Absolutely pathetic

My brain will not let go of its belief that "recommend" should have two Cs and one M no matter what I do

If you don’t bother writing it, why should I bother reading it?

OK, not even getting into the ethics or the existential issues around AI: Have some goddamn self-respect. If you're a writer and you do this I don't know how you look at yourself, but I know exactly how I look at you.

Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

Second deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. As with the first -nonthreatening target in an area the US military operates freely -no legal authority, nor attempt to cite statute -no evidence presented -no individuals identified -no articulated strategic goal, nor explanation how to achieve it

Imagine a pitcher throwing back to back perfect games. Ezra Klein is doing the exact same thing right now, except instead of perfect games he’s throwing out the stupidest, boot-licking bullshit takes anyone has ever experienced. Just have to tip my cap

this is the scale of ice activity in/around chicago so far today. reports of ice staging, on the prowl, or arresting people stretch from 40 miles nw of chicago in elgin, to 45 miles sw in joliet, to 20 miles s in dixmoor. closer to home, reports of ice on the ciy's s + sw sides and near suburbs.

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

a chicken in every pot and an all ages hardcore show in every neighborhood

incredible

Ezra Klein, watch this.

Being a Bears and Spurs fan is a life choice fueled entirely by my internalized self-loathing

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

Behold, the best 9/11 humor of all time: The Onion's TV listings (my favorite row is MTV)

I had a damn fine time celebrating Gross Gas last night. Five years is a hell of a thing in this media landscape, big thanks to Defector for showing a path forward… @davidjroth.bsky.social @defector.com

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

No better time to post Hunter S. Thompson on 9/12/2001. www.espn.com/espn/page2/s...

I, for one, don’t think that fearmongering and willfully spreading misinformation is the right way to engage in politics, setting aside the targets of that engagement.

god forbid a man try out some new recipes, huh

People are following federal agents around DC w/the Imperial March. 😘 CHICAGO!! Will add some basic ICE melting🧊 resources below. Plz add other resources/ideas, & let’s get sub threads by city, so eg one person can start a Boston reply thread and everyone can add stuff to that thread — ? 🧵

This exhibit whups a llama's ass This exhibit beats a male camel's ass with a belt I need to go to this exhibit as I speak, mutha fucka So I jumped into my Bronco and took off like OJ Simpson Rock over London, Rock on Chicago Polaroid. See what develops

Breakfast of Runners-Up

This was easily the wildest game I’ve ever attended. Don’t even know what to say, just laughing with weird joy despite having zero rooting interest either way

Deep dish

CHICAGO!!! We’re out protesting at the Broadview Detention Center (1930 Beach St) where ICE is detaining and deporting our neighbors. We’ve scared them off once today. Come by and help us do it again.

I bullied Ben into making a pro-candy corn shirt, please buy it to validate my 100% correct opinion that candy corn is "fine."

Malcolm Gladwell has spent well over 10,000 hours being a fucking idiot, that's why he's so good at it.

Maybe we get lucky twice, at most. More than likely it's zero. The worst professional ballplayer is better than every single one of your friends (unless they played in the minors or college)

BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker says the Trump administration has sent the Texas National Guard to Great Lakes Naval Base outside Chicago, awaiting orders to deploy to Chicago. Trump administration officials will target Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) celebrations. @wttw.bsky.social
