www.opb.org/article/2026... it kind of feels like we’re back in high school and the sports teams are getting all the funding. make Phil Knight pay for this lol.

Repeatedly watching how she pulls the mic away when he speaks on private equity & I can't stop thinking about the way that our employment system forces people into craven cowards that have to do real-time self-preservation calculus that results in actions that conflict entirely with class solidarity

I genuinely can’t state how much I loved tearing my way through this show. Incredible voice talent and great writing combine to make, what has to be, the funniest show this year.

It's a shame he has to pwotect the NYPD's feefees but "don't bother the tender little police officers, I on the other hand can take it" is a neat little trick

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.

Yeah really truly everything Israel does they learned from the US doing an entire continent spanning genocide virtually unprecedented in human history like where the fuck do you think the land you're living on comes from? Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

lmfao "my politics are NOT inscrutable, i think everyone should have healthcare but some people should starve"

in addition to evoking the "deceiver" trope (he "fell prey" to trans/LGBTQ+ ppl), Newsom is the LEAST CULTURALLY NORMAL prominent Dem politician right now. he owns a winery. he married Kimberly Guilfoyle. when they split up he dated 19-year-old (when he was 38). he podcasts w/Steve Bannon, etc.

“To not acknowledge the unique effect of a racial slur is a form of indifference to the suffering of others. The problem of being indifferent to the suffering of black folk while also imploring folks to have empathy for Davidson cannot be understated.” — @nubluesnick.bsky.social

At this rate, Gavin will be a Republican by 2028. Transphobia is very often the on ramp into straight up fascism.

It's not an exaggeration to say that this is how Republicans used to talk & the types of dog whistles they used to employ before they found out it's perfectly acceptable to talk The Current Way So the shift hereis the logical progression when the only expectation of a party is to be The Lesser Evil

Sanitation rolling through my neighborhood after Mamdani told them they would sit beside him in Valhalla

what he’s complaining about here isn’t even a thing that’s happening. the line he’s giving about spending time on “things that really matter” instead of “identity politics” is exactly the line that every elected Dem from every wing of the party will give you

this is actually how you should treat all press all the time me included. don't let them forget your talking points!

see that's that bullshit a tic is involuntary, but BAFTA not saying anything to Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan afterwards is a choice

what the actual fuck, mods

an important nuance that's often overlooked in the discussion is that X is for losers

Time once again to exonerate themselves and blame their constituents

damn, but that would mean that all the smirking jagoffs who spent the entire election cycle telling us voters wouldn’t care about the administration’s reprehensible support of an obvious genocide were….. wrong??

I wish I knew what I could do to be louder about this, because it is extremely true and very relevant to US politics broadly.

I am afraid “never learn a hockey player’s politics” is as ironclad a law as “never learn a baseball player’s politics”

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

in the wise words of Demi Lovato

The Republican Party is like one of those things where the police announce that a bunch of guys that owe child support have won a prize and then arrest them when they come to claim it but for rounding up pedophiles and perverts

have struggled to come to terms with this lately and i think it’s because i would never in one million years do this. nor anything else like it. that’s not a brag or virtue signal. i literally cannot occupy the mindset of a person for whom calling the law on a kindergartner is an appealing choice

"Nazis were just regular people" is not a statement meant to evoke empathy or to excuse their crimes. It is a statement of warning. The capacity to be part of and perpetrate atrocities is not limited to "monsters," it is wholly human. It is what we must always be aware of.

i get that hollywood portrays all reporters as slimy villains (guess why), but in real life, 95% of reporters are just regular people with families in an industry getting nuked by bad actors who are under tremendous pressure to do a poorly paid but critical job. maybe we can think before we type

I'm an unemployed video game designer with 14 years of experience and multiple shipped titles. Every day I get up to apply for jobs and every day the news says this

You simply won’t believe what she’s referring to as “Corolla-sized vermin” here

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

this is a winning message for the 2026 elections which is why the democrats won’t use it

who would have thought that the guy who, facing the possibility of having to live with only the second-most prestigious law job in america, started shrieking and crying in a senate hearing about his detractors reaping the whirlwind would turn out to be a gormless partisan hack

They have a persons with disabilities section in their concentration camp.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

When a white guy is a serial killer:

hahaha seriously though we should charge these people as child sex traffickers

I can't think of any immigrant in American history who has assimilated worse than Musk. The guy hates most of the people here and wants to hurt us, has open contempt for our traditions or values, and has spent billions trying to destroy our culture to replace it with that of his foreign childhood.

being literally wealthier than kings and monarchical dynasties with no corresponding social obligations is extremely corrosive to both the individual and the body politic, and taking 95% of everything elon musk has would be better for him, personally.

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

imagine telling someone they shouldn't read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas instead of like 3000 Pulitzer humping doorstops because it came out in 1971 bsky.app/profile/nmam...

I read this column. Her argument is, I don't like Trump's racism but I've decided it's an acceptable tradeoff for the good (?) economy we now have, and I'd vote for him again. I don't know whether that actually makes her worse than a racist; I think it does. To know better and shrug is a moral evil.

Everything else put aside, I'm just very taken at the notion that Andy Beshear needs tips from a New Yorker on how to win in Kentucky

"X has its problems, but" It's run by a white supremacist who sent college kids to steal all our personal data when Trump took office and now he's building a child porn machine and his platform is nothing but Nazis and pedos. Nick here works for the WSJ. Curious indeed.
