this is the one thing that will kill his campaign stone dead he can survive shitty reddit posts, he can survive (apparently) a nazi tattoo, he can even win but he will not survive sexual assault allegations nor should he

they're going to scream about FRAUD regardless of how the votes are counted but honestly there is no good reason why california should take weeks on end to count all our ballots and it should be a priority to fix yes, there's late arriving mail, but even so they could count much faster than they do

please stop making enormous and incredibly cool new lego sets until I can acquire a second house dedicated to displaying them thank you in advance

thank you everyone for your dedication to giving me poster’s madness the discworld quotes will continue until morale improves

trump is uniquely good among politicians at taking credit for everything that happens, and that has given him a reputation as a guy who Gets Things Done (even if they’re bad things) but it makes deflecting blame for shit a lot harder for him, especially shit that’s clearly his fault

thank you for this thread! i had an off-the-cuff comic turned into a meme and it's such a weird feeling that my art is just being spread out there without any credit here's a version with my name on it, im fine with people using that one :)

oh no

as someone who gets very strong secondhand embarrassment, to the point that I cannot watch stuff like the british version of the office, this entire administration is painful to experience have some level of shame, for fuck's sake

because bluesky is only a few years old a shockingly large number of accounts here are actually active - even if your follower account here is smaller it’s much more likely to be made up of real people and most of those people are very angry about what’s happening and want to do something about it

"would you live in a jail cell for 37 days to win $835,000" is like your average Mr Beast challenge

flesh-eating worms are back, sure, why not love how the news every day is just “here’s a brand new thing the trump administration has fucked up that will cause untold damage” you’d think they’d run out eventually, but no

the AI rollout has easily the worst messaging of any technology I’ve ever seen it’s not even so much the underlying tech - a lot of people like the chatbots - but the continued promises that it’s going to ruin your life and there’s nothing you can do about it well - you can fight data centers

“we told you so” is unfortunately deeply unsatisfying in the face of what we told you

something the knicks have that the spurs don’t is one guy you can hand the basketball to and say “go get us a bucket right now no matter what” and it turns out that’s pretty important

something that’s really scary about wemby is that he isn’t really close to his offensive potential yet he has insane range but when the threes aren’t falling you can get him off his spots and he’s not phenomenal at creating for himself given how good he already is, if he figures out the offense…

the eight year old sprinting upstairs during a timeout to brush his teeth so he doesn’t miss any of the finals makes me so happy I have a basketball buddy for life

I feel like KAT’s bull in a china shop routine might actually be somewhat effective against Wemby, who is seventeen feet tall but still struggles a bit with bulk (finals game thread)

it’s nba finals time and I believe we can get close to matching the energy of the World Series last year, mostly due to the sheer number of Knicks Sickos on my timeline godspeed and good luck, folks

this is not so much a blinking red light as an industrial strength strobe light siren if it's anything remotely close to accurate and fox runs an actual serious business polling outlet I have a very hard time believing it, but. uh. well.

has anyone managed to go 0-82 on 82-0.com yet, it seems nearly impossible best I've managed is 2-80 so far and that's with multiple people on the team with zeroes across the board

they are going to try to run the charlie kirk playbook on steroids and it is going to fail hilariously because you cannot simply fire more than half the country even if they take a week off work to go on a celebratory bender

bari weiss firmly believes that she has earned this, that she is here to "do the fucking news" and that she will build CBS into a colossus of a network that makes it previous highs look pathetic it's part of why she's so good at convincing rich and powerful of her bullshit: she really believes it

I spent more time on this piece than almost anything else I've written in the last year. Building a better, more decentralized internet is an inherent necessity if you want a functioning democracy. I hope people find it a useful encapsulation of where we're at. www.liberalism.org/p/enshittifi...

here's the thing about the courts: we actually need more judges! everyone is overworked and cases often linger for ages because there's just not enough capacity in the system to get to them what I'm saying here is the supreme court isn't the only part of the courts we can pack

I do think, as nakedly awful as their recent behavior is, it's an own goal in this respect they're behaving in such a comically corrupt manner that "we have to pack the supreme court" is becoming a mainstream position in normie dem circles, and none of their actions will save Rs in november

being a reality tv himbo is vastly less damaging to society than being a cop, good work sean

I swear my younger son is a walking snickers commercial, the difference in temperament between hangry rage monster and sweetest goofball you’ve ever met when he gets some food in him is astounding mornings are a race to get some food in him before he explodes

my 2028 candidate is whoever promises to take the construction equipment that lay waste to the east wing of the white house and drive it directly to the supreme court of the united states

the reveal - the absolute and total fumbling awe of Grant and Sattler as they see dinosaurs for the first time, just as John Williams’ greatest score kicks into full gear - is one of the best scenes in all of cinema

“it takes forever to count the votes” is not in fact an indication of fraud but it is annoying as hell, get your shit together california

my fundamental takeaway from current results is that the country is very ready to tell republicans to go fuck themselves but is largely confused about how to do that

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

hell yeah gas is going to eight bucks a gallon let’s make it even worse

First day on the job and you want respect? Go right up to the most recognizable and respected guy in the newsroom and have him yell at you until you cry. Then it's time to send him a weepy email telling him how disappointed you were that he did all that. Shouldn't have any trouble after that.

I do love looking at the downballot governor results in CA because of how many weirdos we have on our ballot for some reason who are you, 782 people who have voted for LivingForGod AndCountry DeMott (yes, that is a real person on our real ballots)

Adam Hamawy is a seasoned veteran combat medic who literally saved the life of a sitting senator of the United States; volunteered to treat Bosnians and Palestinians during their genocides, helped 9/11 victims on 9/11, and this is how the NYT decides to describe him after he wins a seat to Congress.

please give us a real race between Bass and Raman instead of having to re-elect Bass because Pratt is, well, a prat

okay so now that we've all played this all day, actual all time starting 5s that would fit well together basketball-wise and aren't just five guys who need the ball all the time: I offer two teams: 1. steph, jordan, lebron, kg, russell 2. steph, jordan, bird, lebron, russell

yeah I think this team’ll do it

my man simply cannot stop scamming everyone who believes in him and I think that’s beautiful
