I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

i'm actually really worried for this phase of things. what do we do when they go places with less networks or where institutions are extremely supportive of ICE. idk i'm scared of what can happen here.

i think one bad thing social media has done is condition us to read every possible post in the worst possible light for easy dunks. i certainly find myself falling for it but think it's helpful to at least try to recognize and avoid it by thinking "how would i interpret it if my friend posted this"

oh thank god

man exactly how bad is this jobs report about to be?

Remember Garfield Minus Garfield? I feel like this version of Christianity is Bible Minus Jesus

Caught up with Nickeil Alexander-Walker at shootaround today. He was reflective on his time in Minnesota. “My son was born here. This is where I feel like the Nickeil Alexander-Walker we all see today was born as well.”

i regret to inform you all that tonight is my third annual “splurge on really nice seats when the wolves play a middling eastern conference team” game. the previous two have resulted in losses to the hornets and wizards so just be ready for tonight.

"The Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported that gambling was the second-highest service-sector industry for GDP growth between 2019 and 2024, behind only software publishing." Jesus Christ.

i think our entire economy might be Dumb

imo the worst part of weed culture is the people who will try to convince you that driving high is okay for whatever reason. shoot those people into the sun.

This technology already exists and is widely used. It doesn't involve 'government surveillance' and would not allow ICE or any other government agency to stop individual cars. Just say you think thousands of kids dying every year is worth it so you can speed! www.autoweek.com/news/a615322...

i try to keep up with the research on my vices so i know my risk levels and i'm not here to say smoking weed is "good" for you (there are higher risks of lung infection, etc.) but i think something that might surprise people is how little evidence there is that it increases risk of lung cancer.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

This is like something out of a horror movie, my god

People have worn out "performative." We often perform things that are real, you know. Posting is a kind of performance of one's politics. Performative doesn't actually mean "fake" or "empty," it just gets deployed that way. We actually need performance. Case in point: last night's performance.

these guys really thought if they got access to guns and the maybe federal surveillance program people would fear and respect them instead of recognizing that they are just whiny little piss babies who happen to have guns and cute little camo outfits

ok but one funny thing i’ll add to this is i think i’ve gotten like, five “first and final” warnings where they’ve taken my photo. they also drove me to my house last week. they simply don’t know what to do with this information because nothing illegal is happening

a friend pointed out to me a historical fact that i had forgotten but cannot stop thinking about- anne frank was not executed at her concentration camp but instead died of typhus

and i love this one from ecuador

We do not have a right to do this to people. This is an unacceptable price to be paid for us to scroll.

it’s cool that they are letting the timberwolves play again tomorrow

starting a reply with the thread emoji is wild dawg

damn this kid sucks why would you throw it there

It's ok though because it can book you a massage, which was previously impossible

The media desperately wanted to give the right a cultural moment and the problem is that they have no culture.

was that an ad for alexa that just highlighted all the ways alexa could murder you ?

every ad for google gemini feels like a black mirror episode

oh wow i really like this

america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be

this has been so good man

i hope the person running the camera here is getting a raise this has been great

the thing is bad bunny doesn’t even need to do a big protest or whatever, by simply singing his songs exactly how they are he is going to absolutely destroy the worst people’s brains lol

so does the nfl not really do touchdowns anymore or what’s the deal with that?

i feel like movie trailers used to try and tell you a little bit about what a movie is about

do you think kid rock is gonna play the osmosis jones song at his halftime show

as a green day fan pretty disappointed they didn’t do anything real to speak out at their concert

i’ve already posted far too much today but whatever i’m going super bowl mode. after tonight i will throw my phone in a lake

i’ve received word that if the seahawks win tonight they will be euthanizing butters the owl

god man in that thread she also says there were never 2,000 agents in minnesota…on what basis?? how could any one person pretend to know that. just an unjustifiable thread to resolve the dissonance of knowing you need to move on to the next shiny new thing

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities: Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

oh cool well i guess this perfectly addresses people’s issue that the media doesn’t care enough about it once it’s not a shiny new thing! no further complaints i guess!

however i do think it was kind of the wolves to make sure this one was a blowout so i can make it home in time to watch the green day pregame concert

please don’t tell anyone but i’m going to be leaving this basketball game early because we are having people over to watch a football game :(

gonna lib out in solidarity with my Marxist friends and participate in America’s favorite leftist pastime: watching the National Football League

59 points in 36 minutes of basketball. think i’d really have preferred to have a few more points than that

pretty boring and grim 3 quarters of basketball here from the wolves. ant dunk was cool as hell though

i liked this one
