this is imo an example of how data center hatred isn't just reflexive nimbyism

one way to get proof of life from McConnell might be to claim he is denouncing capitalism and has realized he is a socialist now. no way he lets that fly

What if they just made an entire guy out of red flags?

We’ve entered the period of the evening when I can’t tell whether the “it’s all over now” vagueposts are about Platner, the USMNT or McConnell.

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

“The Knicks were winning the game. They were winning the championship.” for the grand finale of ‘exits’, @matthewmiranda.bsky.social writes about getting over the feeling that “blue skies are red flags”, and a team that made it to the top in spite of and in service to their flaws

"America was originally a spinoff of the long-running England. Airing from the 1776-77 season through today, America focuses on a small ensemble of white people using things in the ground to become rich or kill brown people."

i find it kind of funny i find it kind of sad the dreams in which i’m dying are the best I ever had

Baudrillard spinning in his grave so fast he torpedoes out of the hillside and remains airborne, lasers shooting out of his eyes with such force earth is cleanly cut in two

Happy 4th of July….

Elon Musk is a South African who came to the US under a fraudulently secured student visa to study at Stanford (he never enrolled). Through further fraud, he secured a green card and then was naturalized as a US citizen. His US citizenship can be revoked. He also holds a Canadian passport.

I would kill or die for Larry

"I could never lend myself to any transaction, however respectable, that would commercialize on the prestige and dignity of the office of the presidency. Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I'll show you a crook." Harry Truman

Cape Verdeans are now honorary Philadelphians because that was basically ROCKY. They weren't "supposed" to be there, much less going the distance with the champions and the GOAT, who had to give it everything they've got just to eek out a win in overtime. Bravo.

*sigh*

Again, if there's a Democratic majority in the House in 2027, I think it's imperative that they start impeaching Supreme Court justices.

Representative Barbara Jordan. Still, after all these years, a mic drop.

i absolutely, unequivocally love this shit

What do you mean abolishing ICE is not doable? It was created in 2003. There are Missy Elliot songs older than ICE.

The goalkeepers 😂❤️

Mamdani's revolutionary idea that has entrenched power scared is that he wants to a.) listen to people and b.) help them.

Grand Moff Tarkin: "I think Palpatine's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Alderaan happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story."

Dems have to run on this hard. Do not let the RFK types try to spin what his own party just signed off on here. Actual Monsanto, the comic book villain of Adbusters days, was shielded from liability over poisoning Americans. I don't care if it's slopulism: this Supreme Court wants you dead.

Gen X doesn’t have the numbers, and we may be a bit apathetic, but if we pay into social security for decades only to get nothing back, our teenage angst will look like a vacation in comparison. And about half of us are entering our menopausal rage era.

My brother, if we win the Democratic Party primaries then we ARE the Democratic Party

Every "centrist" believes political views are a great big bell curve with the overwhelming majority of people near them, but that's just not true. The number of people truly in "the middle" is vanishingly small—the real middle is "incoherent mixture of views"—and courting them is a guaranteed loser.

he is probably not as progressive as I would like, but all evidence points to this guy being a for real Real One.

The Battle of Algaes

"invading a treaty ally in a manner explicitly analogized to rape in order to bring back a fast food promotional event from the 1980s a 60-something chud is vaguely nostalgic about" is pretty much a total description of the Trump administration's policy orientation

The number of people at the Knicks parade today were roughly equal to the combined population of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana & Alaska. So if you heard about any issues in NYC today, but not about any crimes in those states, you know the agenda of that media.

I’m not kidding when I say that the cops think this is their parade. So far it’s been cops on foot with a banner for cops, cops on horses waving like people are cheering for them, cops in a marching band, cops with bagpipes…not yet a Knick in sight lol

"So ... so I said ... why not sign your treaty here, at Versailles?"

This is the perfect example of one photo being worth a thousand words.

pro tip: the bartender can hear you even if you’re not physically touching the bar, so please step the fuck back.

ooooooh this video is incredible. this is the one www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL4T...

The way all the other musicians just step aside and let Prince cook shows so much respect to his talent.

This is a place where every day you wake up, you could experience everything from a basketball player crashing into our old mayor to a person who's celebrating a new business that's opening

Hi @mayor.nyc.gov Mr. Mayor, can you do something about this? He is trying to make this about him and he doesn’t even like basketball.

If the spurs were actually that good, they wouldn’t need so much help from the refs.

they'll call you a crazy reactionary alarmist right up until the day when they demand to know why you never said anything

There is only one good billionaire, and she speaks the truth here.

I no longer identify as an American. I will only call myself a New York Knicks fan from now on. New York is my country, and the Knicks fucking rule. #knicksin4

i genuinely hate these people
