Can we get 10,000 RTs for this

the speedrunning community was as toxic and as much of a boys club (if not more) as many others not too long ago, and the transition to it being a more queer-positive and inclusive event wasn't inevitable. GDQ's shift has been really meaningful and it's a lesson for what a lot of other spaces can be

On the use of generative AI in the law: I feel like people don't really realize that in the past 3 years HUNDREDS of attorneys have been sanctioned for using AI to write briefs. The attorneys in this case are probably going to lose their licenses and might potentially even go to jail for using AI.

Get BARTmogged, gasmaxxers!!

I think… I think I may have done something really bad

i thought i understood Athlete Brain pretty well but Cold Athlete Brain is proving to be next level

Imagine what these numbers would look like if there was a concerted effort by the opposition party to talk *up* immigration as a good thing that strengthens our country and enriches the cultural fabric.

i worry that a 5-year stretch of nothing but ads for NFTs, bitcoin, and AI is a long enough gap that this nation's once-great advertising industry will forget how to sell a product people actually want

These people have shown up to help resolve our aging population problem, I suggest we take the gift before they change their minds.

Imagine how low your opinion of yourself as a novelist must be to think that AI could create a work just as good as you can.

in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around

My article (with @bradhumphreys.bsky.social ) "Yes, There is an Economic Consensus That Professional Sports Facilities are Inadvisable Public Investments" is now published in Economic Development Quarterly. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Just who you wanted to hear from about The Big Game: me

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

For @cnn.com, a story about gambling addiction, gambling sobriety and how that changes many young men’s relationships to friends, family, and sports fandom. www.cnn.com/2026/02/01/s...

/2 AUSA jobs tend to be EXTREMELY competitive. (Not to say they’re not occasionally awarded to morons for politics.) Having to advertise for AUSAs on Nazi-Pedoworld is deeply embarrassing. Also the notion you have to be politically loyal to the President to be a entry-level lawyer is loathsome.

Miep Gies, who helped hide the Franks, repeatedly said she did not want to be viewed as a hero because she did what she expected any normal person to do.

The reason Anne Frank's story has resonated with so many people over so many years is not because circumstances have to be exactly the same as her's for anyone to care, but because anything remotely like it is wrong, and societies moving in that direction should oppose it well before they get there.

“Philly Twitter” is a thing because of Dan McQuade.

English translation of statement from Ecuadorian Consulate regarding ICE’s attempt to enter their building in Minneapolis today:

❤️❤️❤️

straight guy hockey podcasts are fighting over who likes gay stuff more and that means we're winning

Timberwolves-Warriors postponed til tomorrow

They went to Menard’s and bought them because they are constantly being gassed by ICE?

Our attorney general has mever heard of a fucking hardware store.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Ah, the old trap: If gay people point out that equating oral sex with degradation is homophobic, we're scolds and language police, and that distracts from the real issue, which is that Newsom lacks any internal compass and says whatever he thinks will win him applause or agreement in the moment. >

TOTAL VINDICATION FOR STRAIGHT MEN. FULL RECOVERY FOR CISHET WHITE BOYS

BREAKING: San Francisco Giants star Jung Hoo Lee has been detained by CBP at LAX. Pelosi's office says she is working to secure his release. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

I think there is some information in there that isn't familiar to a lot of people. Including that the US is currently holding three times as many people in immigration detention as were detained in the entire Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939—six years into the Third Reich.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

i don't believe in rainbow capitalism but i do think it's vitally important that sports team pride nights continue to outsell the increasingly common harry potter night
