In a shitty world, sometimes a simple pleasure needs to be pursued. Recently, for me, that simple pleasure was a book written by a friend. a.co/d/0f7rsJR Sad Porn about the End of the World is such a physically beautiful book! Can't wait to read it! #queer #writing #apocalypse #AR #Books #romance

I hope everyone is ready for Zohran’s next big mayoral test: Not Killing A Groundhog

Beers doing "thousands and thousands" of mikan drills explains a lot (derogatory)

I need people to understand that it’s not just Epstein, it’s the entire rape culture that existed before and after him at every socioeconomic level. That’s why Epstein, who I’ve never thought was particularly smart or interesting, was able to pull this all off—he recognized how abuse functions

HUH?!?!

what an awful call

Sydney Parrish please stop

SOTELO HGHGNGBH

GOTY, no question

👇 90 seconds left, 1 point game!

Mia Holloway, Michigan's second-best player

UConn CTE offense rn

Michigan-Michigan St. real Game Of The Year contender

not convinced Caldwell knows what she's doing with these line changes. how is this better than playing a straight-up rotation, some of these lineups should not be seeing the court

Sparty has absolutley nothing for this full-court press, good god

does Deniya Prawl's NIL deal require some minimum number of minutes, or

Azzi blowing by Cooper, whew

Duke’s student newspaper is all over this. Neither Ariely nor the university are saying anything so far www.dukechronicle.com/article/duke...

I miss the time when most team owners were less evil than insane

Kinda reveals how Weiss was able to rise so high and so fast despite being an objective mediocrity - she simply tapped into a huge network of elite pedophiles and signalled that she could help them!

given the news today coming out of MN, where journalists are now facing charges for covering protests, I am re-upping this fundraising appeal for Brian's legal defense fund—whatever you can give goes toward an unprecedented defense of the First Amendment and our rights of free speech and assembly.

Far from the biggest problem, but it's really annoying that everyone claiming they're scared of whistles is going to be allowed to go back to pulling a tough manly man act immediately after

lmao

RIGHT ON CUE NOT EVEN CLOSE LOL

dude they're not even going for the block. that's just their standard defense in case Miami went for a fake on 4th-and-1. but it looks like Kamara knew exactly where the punter liked to roll out and kick from

Hidalgo has been bad today in a way that other Great Players On Mid Teams That Got Killed By UConn almost always aren't

Going to r/bois to talk about 17776 and being very confused about what’s there

maybe Catholicism is the way

why are we talking to Shane Beamer, at the women's basketball game, about the cfb natty?? most people watching this game who care about cfb are probably fans who want him fired

NYC dolls: who'd y'all see for ffs?

horrific stroud performance, jfc

since it's behind a paywall now, I wanted to share this graph from "How Trump 2.0 is slashing NIH-backed research — in charts" (Nature, April 2025). Say it with me: the anti-trans/LGBTQ+ movement is an anti-science movement: [article sans figs can be read here: web.archive.org/web/20250501... ]

"If that's not a highlight reel goal I don't know what is" Minnesota's Abbey Murphy beats her defender with a lacrosse move, then slides it over for Bella Fanale to score

this raises the possibility of Jim Harbaugh mechsploitation

Vic, if you're calling plays for Ashton Judd to make crucial decisions, the loss is on you

watching both UT-LSU wbb and Bills-Jags, if you asked me which game caused CTE I'd have the wrong answer

Pentz Homes will be doing a rolling food drive to support our struggling local businesses and help the families who are afraid to leave their homes. You can help in two ways! Shop at local immigrant-owned stores and donate the goods, or send us your funds and we will do the shopping for you.

there is no world where a democratic presidential nominee who’s willing to compromise on trans rights takes prosecuting ice seriously btw

A lot of people’s problems with injustice and cruelty is that they don’t like being aware of it and would do anything to go back to pretending that nothing is wrong

To be clear this is a heartbreaking and beautiful statement from a wife in mourning, that's most important. But also the fact that I've seen a dozen articles with comments from a grandpa across the country and about Renee's deceased husband and this is the only one about her wife I've seen is vile.

this would probably hit pretty hard if I wasn't closing in on a decade out of the closet

here's this vintage jeopardy clip with ken jennings

*chuckles* I'm in danger!

RPA was thrilled to join @governor.ny.gov, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, @mta.info Janno Lieber, and so many of our friends and partners in celebrating #CongestionPricing yesterday. It's working for everyone — and it's a fact of life in NYC now!
