The sky is alight with people risking their fingers. This is my America ❤️

I think it is just a really strange take to conclude that the world's longest standing written constitution, which also happens to be the constitution of its most powerful and prosperous country, is a "remarkable failure." 'It's not perfect' - sure. But a failure? Uh, scoreboard?

I'll never forget that NPR tweeted out the Declaration of Independence line by line on the 4th of July, and Trump's supporters flipped out thinking NPR was trashing their King. In 2017.

The Founders wouldn't be shocked by the abolition of slavery, though perhaps more by equality and integration, and ditto for women. Nor even by technological progress as much as we might think. Such ideas were not unknown to them. But they would be flabbergasted and astonished by an American pope.

“The perfect alt text doesn’t exi…”

maradona is a cheater, the falklands are british and picanha is brazilian, go have a currency crisis about it

taylor and travis should donate money to all the bars and restaurants in the MSG area who were forced to close down during a super busy tourist/world cup weekend because of their stupid wedding

and I just think Leo went “yeah no fuck this, they had their chances, there’s no compromising with these people,” and I think the reason this is all so satisfying even to non-Catholics is that we all want to see people like this actually removed from their access to power but it happens so rarely

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

The greatest Mexico v England tweets you will ever read. 😂 As you were.

LOL I get back from watching the World Cup match at the bar, hear this ridiculous news from the Flyers, and allphly.com is down :(

I think the more I watch soccer, the more I think it might be a better sport if offsides was just legal. "But people will cherrypick!" Sure they will. And defenders will stay back with them. Which will create more space to operate in between the defensive line and the attacking line.

In my culture, this is tradition. A Croat is a type of bird, Go Birds.

Anyone good at lip reading?

Its been over a month and I'm still thinking about this

o/' Alvarado... Why don't you go back to steroids Your shit's been making me annoyed A whole year now o/` (with no apologies to the Eagles because they suck as a band)

I dunno, but the worst novel of friendship is A Separate Peace. Not because the friendship is awful (tho it is) but because it's just a terrible, shitty, should-not-be-forced-on-anyone book.

"avoiding heatstroke in the baptism tent" sounds like the name of a fall out boy song circa 2006

Gm to all my fellow lapsed Catholics having a chuckle this morning

Every religion has a food rule that sounds like somebody got diarrhea once and made it everyone’s problem.

Ad Rock: you can disagree with the current All: POPE MCA: but if you push his buttons then you’re a All: DOPE Mike D: ordain yourself a bishop and you’re All: SCHISMATIC Ad Rock: excommunication is All: AUTOMATIC

Also, it's long past time to retire vulgar Marxist arguments about how racism and nativism are just a tool that the capitalist class is using to divide the working class. This stuff is not a distraction. It is a central motivating and binding force in politics, both in the US and elsewhere.

Um... okay I guess I understand why he left now? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING FUCK #Sixers

Sixers losing Oubre there hurts, only because there probably isn't a good option to replace him. And after I liked the Wade signing, too.

This soccer game is crazy! Lukaku turning the game like he did against the US twelve years ago? De Bruyne getting benched and it actually working?

BREAKING: NYC boyfriends desperately abandon Central Park proposal plans, seek wayyyy better rings, citing engagement they can't compete with abc7ny.com/post/2-peopl...

Lincoln absolutely exceeded the law as chief executive. He knew full well he was doing that. The nation was in crisis. It was absolutely necessary. The machinery of the Constitution was inadequate to meet the emergency. I'm going to need whoever the Dems nominate to understand that.

My honest belief is that the dissenters should just be fully disbarred. You cannot sincerely believe the 14th Amendment does not contain birthright citizenship. To hold this is to be either so dishonest or so incapable of analysis that you cannot practice law.

It seems timely to remind everybody that the Republican platform, without a word of exaggeration, is to undo every shred of liberal and humanist progress this country has made since the emancipation proclamation. That’s the goal, and every single Republican elected is complicit in it.

And now back to our regularly scheduled Nola Nola'ing.

That last German PK was spiritually Mets as well.

This is what has always bothered me about the "stolen land" framework. People - individually or as a group - only have as much right to land as they can defend. That's one of the reasons to form a society! There's no "moral" right to property, only collective-given and collective-protected.

also I'll just saying it "we always harass our friends and allies no matter what!" is not normal, sane or good and being Queer or Trans is not some magical permission to treat people like shit who are trying to help you, what the fuck

folks I am going to say this as nicely as possible preemptively dooming about how the dems will refuse to even try to use the powers the supreme court is granting to trump to reverse the damage in response to every post saying "they should do that" is somewhat less than helpful

Brain wouldn't turn off last night, got a triple of bad bug bites, and the cat woke me up twice. Was just not might night to get good sleep.

Kerkering gonna give me a gd heart attack before this season is over.

you’re missing the entire point of those posts? they’re all like “fuck what our government is doing, look at how beautiful this cultural exchange could be if our government wasn’t ass”

me: should i chronicle history or document current events? funk soul brother: write about now

The strawberry shortcake sundae at Costco is amazing. H/t to Scott

really hit the nail on the head there DS is not extremist - its scandinavian social safety nets, its FDR new dealism, its all the parts of the US gov people even from the right like- none of it is new or even daring, it just feels new because we’ve gotten so used to ineffective governance

You know who shouldn’t have air conditioning? Christians. Every time you use air conditioning you’re saying God made a mistake when He set the temperature.

Funny that Uruguay commits a red card foul on Williams, don’t get a red, then commit a yellow card foul and get a red.

What's ominous about Nick Foles' house?

You either die recruiting Carl Reiner at a sporting event or you live long enough to become Carl Reiner at a sporting event

The DNC needs to cut this as a campaign ad.

Thirteen Democratic House members and candidates announced their support for a centrist initiative aimed at losing their next primary.
