The coaches kids. Gary Bertier getting paralyzed AFTER the championship game instead of before it. The nonexistent drama at training camp. That team didn’t need a player’s only meeting! They never struggled all season long! It was essentially fanfiction.

It's that time of year where people have to be educated how inaccurate that movie is. I still love it but man....when you and some other folks dropped knowledge about it, it's hard to see it the same way.

Don’t worry about it… Virginia high school football wasn’t even segregated at the time so it’s based on a LIE anyways…

Glad I thought it was overrated anyway

Kimmel: "He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now."

Okay, this is good.

Paracetamol, pregnancy and autism: what the science really shows theconversation.com/paracetamol-...

Translation - “don’t listen to the Lysol guy “

The US has become a idiotic joke.

The United States has no credibility. None. Not in government. Not in economics. Not in medicine. It’s embarrassing and shameful.

EUROPEAN MEDICINES AGENCY: We have “reviewed a large amount of data from pregnant women who used paracetamol during pregnancy .. “.. there is no evidence that would require changes to the current EU recommendations.” @politico.com $KVUE www.politico.eu/article/eu-d...

I could stop Trump with a post as well if I wanted to but unfortunately I am an evil third party voter* who cost Harris the election and therefore revel in the destruction of America *Knocked doors for Harris, voted for her, encouraged people to vote for her as harm reduction

A somewhat shocking number of people are accusing me of trying to censor Harris with this post. They are absolutely correct. The sheer power of my Posting has destroyed Harris' ability to get on network television to promote her book

Titled The Secret Handshake, the statue of Trump & Epstein is designed to look like a monument and features the two men smiling as they hold hands and twirl. Just 2 pedophiles enjoyed their friendship. 🔗 tinyurl.com/489yydr7

This brave young woman is tattling on her dad. A state Rep from New Mexico Israel invited State Reps to meet with Netanyahu and now he's spewing propaganda all over the place.

Make sure you take some Tylenol before reading that book.

Fun Fact -- there was an early attempt to make a pneumatic subway. Is there really not already a book about this? It seems like there would have to be? Or maybe it's 30 separate PhD theses waiting to be compiled into one book.

It’s crazy how the 6th Ave line was built underneath the existing PATH train which stayed in operation during construction

My life long new yorker friend would be like "oh yeah that restaurant is right near aceg12347q" like that was a real sentence real humans were supposed to understand. She also once asked me if it was safe to drink the water in Baltimore.

I lived there half a decade and my understanding goes as deep as "it was five different subways at one point"

I would read a 1,000 page book on how the New York subway was built and how they decided where stations and routes should go. Especially if it included the PATH train, which is a special enigma.

1. I hate that I have now seen this; 2. I keep staring at it trying to figure out what the fucking red things are. Crumpled up hearts? That can't be right but what the fuck

I’ll allow @kenwhite.bsky.social and ONLY Ken White to fact check me if I’m wrong. Or anyone whose expertise matches his. Or anyone else feels like it, you can just say hi in the comments or whatever

If *he* is the one ABC is answering to on the Kimmel matter, this becomes a straightforward 1A question. Goodbye, plausible deniability!

So basically this amounted to dumbass driving more attention to the things he tries to suppress. He’s a genius

Worse. The full effect of his stupid economic policies will hit next year. And he will lash out at anyone not repeating his lies.

I think the stuggle just to survive economically, will get harder each month, I hate to think what 2026 will be like.

Like tell me "I'm too injured to continue" or "my people will hold the entrance to the cave" or like SOMETHING. Freaking "anyhoo, I'll just bury my dead now, you've got this" was so JARRING.

Last night I was playing Borderlands 4 and the questgiver essentially said "There's something so important in that cave that I almost died trying to get it. But now that you, A COMPLETE STRANGER is here, why don't you get it while I bury those WHO DIED TRYING TO GET THIS THING" And I was like WHAT?

🫡 i always thought of it more like blowing the gunk out of the engine… but yeah! gymnasts and chess players and painters and musicians have to warm up and tune, so do we

My first editor, @isaacdovere.bsky.social, used to put fat red lines through my opening shit and would say "stop clearing your throat"

i usually think of the first 10-30% of anything i write as "intro wank" gotta get thru it to get to the good stuff just me??

But you’re good at it, Eli, and we treasure you and your work.✊🏼

I fucking hate writing sometimes. It's like somebody hands you a tree and an axe and says "I need a table by dinner time, and make it pretty." Like, fuck you. Who the fuck does this for a living? It's fucking stupid.

Fuck. I just realized I wrote my lede graph 500 words into the piece. Gonna have to restructure the whole thing

Quote with your reaction to getting left behind during the rapture:

One more Tylenol could fix me...

So Laura Loomer, a personal advisor to the President, has been going on a racist storm of posts in response to Rep. Jasmine Crockett expressing disappointment in the votes around honoring Charlie Kirk.

It's getting harder and harder to separate satire from reality.

But this is how you get Cardinal Timothy Dolan praising charlie kirk at the same time you have Bishops waving mass requirements to people who are afraid of being taken up in an ICE Raid. The Catholic Church is messy, top down hierarchical weirdness.

The two (specifically white evangelicalism) aligned because of abortion but it's led to a conservative shift within the US Catholic church such that in in some ways more conservative than the church itself tagging @clairewillett.bsky.social in here because she knows way more than I do

I think people not raised Catholic struggle to understand the church as an institution and are unaware that there's massive strife happening right now within the Catholic Church which in very broad strokes - Rome thinks American Catholicism has been tainted by too close association to evangelicalism

Donald Trump was raised Presbyterian and now calls himself a non-denominational Christian. There's plenty of reasons to slander the Catholic church but Pope Francis all but said don't vote for the Orange Turd.

If you haven't done hard time as a Presbyterian, you can't even begin to fathom how much psychic damage it does to your average Presbyterian to read that first sentence

Peter didn't appreciate being named in the lawsuit.

Reminds me of the kind of article the Times once trotteds out occassionally and might again: “Is this a sign that Trump is finally growing into the job of President?“ Answer is always no.

I hope this new look lasts more than 10 days.

Don’t be fooled. They invented “Bothsidesism “ and the next time he says something coherent that a 12 year old would say, the banner will read “ President appears to have found his voice and many are applauding his newfound confidence “ This will be next to an op-ed title “Ice: A bold new strategy “

Wish this had happened 12 months ago.
