i'm so happy that @friedman.house.gov is my rep. seriously. i wish more elected officials not only stood up for us in washington (like she does with her recent ice accountability demands) but does incredibly impactful local events like this. laura, you rule. thank you.

OH NO THEY'RE GONNA DESTROY CNN You mean the "news" network that integrated an online political gambling site into their programs and turned every segment into Crossfire? Oh fuck. How will we ever recover

Man I don't know what to make of the fact that Mamdani has unlimited juice with Trump. That's such a wildly chaotic element

choosing the ability to transform into an apple has potential world-ending consequences death by rock star my four ghost friends watch me cook mountains of steamed salmon and fruit

only way to describe what this is as intentional and targeted evil. they want to make it impossible for trans people to live. this is genocidal

This is a critical difference between reformers and non-reformers. You need to be willing to look leadership and their lawyers in the face and say “No, I’m going to try something else. You can help me or you can get out of my way.”

not the point but the misalignment because they put a space in front of "crack" is killing me

this is explicitly nazi germany type shit

Wow

philosophy taught me i can’t step in same river twice but it’s actually because i got banned from that park

The law enforcement people insist on legitimizing and defending.

months ago i guessed that The Day It Happens at march 16 of either '26 or '27, posting here for accountability

One of the cool things they don't tell you about LA is that there are so many corners to consume and enjoy Hollywood culture from the good ol days. Movie rental places, tiny theaters showing classics, museums, shops selling one sheets and old scripts. It's really a big sell for a nerd like me.

men should need a permit to exist in society

every time i log on here and see that i have more than two notifications i am filled with dread, expecting heat or abuse, and then i remember this isn't twitter and the worst is that somebody with no sense of humor has said something marginally spicy or insane, not to kill myself or get raped.

a lot of people perceive disgusting things as violence against them. when you ask why they feel unsafe around homeless people, they'll cite things that repulse them. and while yeah, i don't like watching people pee, or almost stepping in shit in a doorway, i also know it isn't gonna kill me.

fuck it this guy for Senator from Maine "He Can't Be Any Worse Than The Two Dems Currently Leading The Polls"

reminds me of the people with AI "partners" who take breaks from unloading their troubles onto "them" as to not stress "them" out... which really defeats what imo seems like the only worthwhile part of having an AI partner

I understand this — but I also think it behooves journalists to understand how people are getting news and adapt their delivery to meet it.

comes in a green can, everyone knows this milk was also a powder

one of the weirdest problems i have on this site is that a bunch of skeets from the people i follow only show up in the cursed discover tab, not on my following tab.

It is difficult, as a Jew whose family was massacred in the Holocaust, to watch people come to this realization. Millions of us died because of people like this. The Holocaust was not that long ago! People have not evolved out of racism and bigotry. Folks like this will always live among us.

The debate about killing sea lions seems to be between most of America, who believe killing any ocean mammal is inherently wrong, and people who have to spend time on docks, who all have personal long running beefs with several sea lions

Yeah man it all sounds pretty fucking stupid when you put it like that, doesn't it

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

watching the curling four-game multi-view like i'm lucius fox in the dark knight

i am of course rooting for the us women's curling team but my second choice are the italians and while i'd love to to tell you it's for a good reason, honestly it's just because they're so pretty

you motherfuckers need baseball so badly

Need a minute here

phones while driving has reached critical mass. every day the light turns green, first car doesn't go because they're on their phone, second car doesn't honk because they're on their phone, third car doesn't honk because they're on their phone. stop this madness!!!!!!!!!!

What is our revolution if not the fight for all to be able to have a great day? So let's have the best days we can. It doesn't mean we're not sacrificing for the struggle too.

People don't remember, but so many spoke out against forming DHS saying it would go to have the exact problems we are facing today. Let it die. Reset and reform the functions.

reining in if it’s followed by hoisting maybe

liberals doing voter outreach on Bluesky

Ilia hasn’t lost a competitive skate in like two years. Just breathtaking.

if gavin newsom is the nominee i will write in jeff epstein

New @fangraphs.com: yes, the Dodgers spend massive amounts of money, but they owe a good bit of their Friedman-era success to their ability to turn fringy journeymen into reliable contributors. In a busy couple of days, they ensured three such players stick around and parted ways with a fourth

these people are literal toddlers

One thing is that like - I think we may actually be doing pretty well? A *lot* of people get colonoscopies.

Here’s a periodic reminder that MLB is full of shit. There aren’t rich teams and poor teams … just rich owners who spend on their teams and rich owners who don’t. And the latter will do anything they can to distract you from this fundamental truth.

Well my name's John Keats and I'm here to say / that Beauty is Truth, in a major way

Maybe, and this is me going out on a limb perhaps, teams shouldn't be entering into deals with 13-year-olds

Beginning to think the people in charge don’t understand how wrestling fans work

Sorry but people just don't care about the difference between someone who gives the gestapo every penny they ask for, and someone who does the same thing but frowns and shakes their head while they do it

This is what it is in LA. We still have between 1-2 dozen kidnapping attempts a day across the county, every single day. It's just a resonant low-din hum of cruelty. The content factory is gone but the underlying fear remains.

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money

This is some genuinely psycho shit...
