Maybe it should matter that the President of the United States threatened the lives of the Iranian soccer team, who can say

Just the President threatening a soccer team ahead of the World Cup. No big deal.

Damn. It just got real dark, really fast here outside of Raleigh. More like an August thunderstorm than March. Then again, it's about to go from 70 degrees to 40 in a couple hours.

I've just had an amazing idea

Meanwhile, in Vermont… People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it? #Vermont #ICE #SouthBurlington

I think there is something to explore that many nations at the WBC have come showing what they love about their country (dancing, celebration, tradition) to represent the people while the American team has shown up representing and only celebrating the military

All this talk of advanced AI targeting and the U.S. still fired a Tomahawk at an elementary school where an outdoor playground has been visible on Google Maps since 2017 www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Dangit. JUST going to miss this, as I am there the last couple days of April and first couple of May for the cheerleading Summit. Maybe it will be in previews? @lentesta.bsky.social, you think there will be any chance of getting on Apr 30-May 3?

Italy is gonna have teams putting espresso machines in the dugout.

Practically overnight, the U.S. took an ancient vice, put it on everyone’s phone, and made it as normal and frictionless as checking the weather, @mckaycoppins.bsky.social writes. What could possibly go wrong?

Showing this to myself in 2022 and having an aneurysm

Is Trump now starting wars just so he can end them and up his (imaginary) total??

This is a thing that is within their control and they absolutely should make their negotiating position

when you’re arguing about politics here on bluesky just remember there’s a young sheldon spinoff called george and mandy’s first marriage that’s watched by millions of people

Gotta hand it to the Italian team, but they have a great HR dugout celebration. #WBC

This is @daveweigel.bsky.social bait

In more than half of US states, Republican and Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation that would boost adoption of small plug-in solar panels that sit on apartment balconies and plug directly into household outlets. Canary Media buff.ly/5B79fOA #ShareGoodNewsToo

Arrogant and clueless and facing a shocking crash out, Team USA got the manager it deserves in this cultural moment: open.substack.com/pub/mollykni...

Trump officials moving onto military bases is a ridiculous, absolutely inappropriate thing, and the NYT story that credulously credited claimed threats as justifying such a move is also ridiculous.

The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.

what in the world

Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”

Ahead of the 2026 season, the NWSL has announced new competition rules and updates. ⚽️ For the full list of updates: bit.ly/4bHGXof

“this just proves MJ would average 50 in today’s NBA!” my friend if you dropped Michael Jordan into the 2026 NBA his career would last exactly one day after he found out about FanDuel

@kenjennings.bsky.social Question for you. I was on Jeopardy back in 2005 (3rd place, but a respectable final total). At the time, I was told that we could only come back once Alex was no longer host. Is that true? Can I reapply now? Or is it still invitational only for returning players?

I'll tell you, if a woman who cared about sports had written this, it would have been taken as evidence that she didn't understand sports.

we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'

Any serious examination of the "diplomacy" of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner comes to one very obvious conclusion: they're in it for private profit, which they exploit the name and reputation of the US to achieve. They have no interest in brokering peace. foreignpolicy.com/2026/03/03/w...

This is hilarious.

Burn it all to the ground

I am only able to hear the right one in Ray Liotta Goodfellas voiceover voice.

An album that helps support aid for children in conflict zones? Sounds like a win.

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

They lied about their shoe size and are now forced to wear floppy clown shoes around the president ahahahahahaha

the most thoroughly vindicated man in hollywood. trade disputes and conspiracies ✔️ republic subverted over sex hangups ✔️ “sand people” killed, royalty indifferent ✔️ naive idiot casts vote for tyranny ✔️ villains with silly names like “dooku” ✔️ powerful clerical order screwing up ✔️ list goes on

Joe Biden had nothing to do with the high price of eggs in 2024, but he was blamed nonstop by the GOP, and corporate media went along with it. Donald Trump has everything to do for the high price of gasoline in 2026, but he'll get no blame from the GOP, and corporate media will go along with it.

Happy 311 Day to all that celebrate youtu.be/lYBIRHi5-o8?...

These doors are acting like the higher oil prices have been mysteriously thrust upon us instead of the completely foreseeable result of a war of choice concocted by the President and his band of misfits he calls a Cabinet

“The indispensability of a liberal education is the freedom from being tied to the zeitgeist of one’s age or situation to love what is true, good, and beautiful, and to be initiated into the world while cultivating a love for it.” www.liberalcurrents.com/upholding-li...

I can understand the Trump people, idiotically, not making a plan. But it’s unfathomable to me that CENTCOM didn’t have a plan in the files somewhere from a more competent era of American governance. What have generations of Pentagon war planners been doing?

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

Iran is sending more crude through Hormuz NOW than it was before the war — “showing it is in control of a strategic waterway that it has closed off to the rest of the region’s oil producers.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/middle...

You’re telling me the brain trust in this Administration, who only wants to bang their toy cars together and scream “BOOM!”, doesn’t know how to finish the war they started? Well knock me over with a feather.

Nearly positive this has been the Wordle before Wordle 1,726 4/6* ⬛⬛⬛🟨🟨 ⬛🟨🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟩⬛⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

This may be the baldest lie ever uttered. There has never been one second of Trump’s life that he has cared about what happens after he shuffles off his spray-tanned mortal coil

This is so American it hurts.

Uhhhhhhhh

YouTube served me a video of Keegan Michael Key before he shaved his head... a big CONGRATS to that razor
