To my Pride folks. You are loved. There ain't no other you. You are so fierce you got these wockaflockas shook and whatnot. Go on with yo' bad selves.

Coolest players to play for both the Knicks and Spurs: a thread Luke Kornet

I personally believe the main reason that we haven't had a modern dinosaur film that's better than Jurassic Park is because JP is all about how we see dinosaurs. I can think of few blockbusters that are as focused on reinventing how the audience perceives a subject.

I mean we’d have to tone it down to only be four days …

The Pentagon has appointed a former Citadel cadet and J6 convict to one of the most sensitive top-secret posts in the DoD. He has none of the relevant experience that would make him eligible for the 40-person team. wapo.st/437arYG

a new funniest outcome from sext-gate has arrived

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

Steyer: I have a strong anti-ICE platform. I think they are a criminal organization, and we have a very strong plan when it comes to prosecuting them. You don’t have to trust me. The head of ICE went online to say that my program is unfair to ICE agents, and I took that as a huge compliment.

'vanilla ice congratulations u are the opening act and your planned set is 10 minutes but we are sure the 30 minutes you are set to perform will be appreciated for the entire 45 minutes also congratulations u are the closing act"

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

Same energy

Rodger has a good sports blog. It’s free. You should read it because it’s good, and it’s free.

Platner is on Kik lolololol holy buckets.

BREAKING Federal judge orders President Donald Trump’s name removed from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, says law makes "crystal clear" Congress intended the institution to honor JFK

I say this as a lifelong Giants fan: Abdul Carter is probably too cool to play for the Giants

oh kay!

i think this is correct on the merits of the race but to the extent that we can nationalize Paxton v Talarico and thereby tar other Republicans we want to do it because Paxton really is that bad.

One of my strongest takeaways from the Bee this week is that it was a showcase for why critical thinking matters more than ever. So much of what the kids do up there isn’t rote memorization—it’s using their insane prep to solve words like puzzles (using etymology, patterns) in real time.

We should append "and also you're hot" to more sentences.

J.D. Talasek is the Director of Cultural Programs at the National Academy of Sciences. He has spent more than two decades building exhibitions, conversations, and collaborations that bring artists, scientists, engineers, and humanists into dialogue. @nationalacademies.org @nasonline.org

Describing Carroll, an adjudicated rape victim, as Trump's "enemy" is nasty work for which @cnn.com and @erinburnett.bsky.social ought to be trolled and vitiated.

"Sunrise Rosé" It's interesting going back and looking at older photos with fresh eyes and fresh editing techniques. I remember this sunrise like it was yesterday. I was photographing the neowise comet with friends when the sky lit up like a sparkling rosé wine for sunrise.

Today we announced the most ambitious housing plan in our City's modern history. We're building 200,000 affordable homes. We’re overhauling code enforcement. We’re cracking down on bad landlords. We’re creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs.

Man peep the date on this 👀

Wyoming, you deserve better

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

Grogu has been deported after Rotta dimed him to ICE. Mando tried to rescue him but was pepper-sprayed outside the detention block.

Some people study disasters. Lauren Alexander Augustine studies what happens before them, after them, and in the long difficult middle where societies decide what they will learn. explorers.com/lauren-alexa... @nationalacademies.org

We just learned last week that Kat was never truly indicted. The grand jury in Chicago returned a no true bill. Prosecutors then had to tell anyone who didn't want an indictment to leave and cajole someone in the hallway until they returned an indictment. Please, go to jury duty and raise hell.

Comedy is attacking someone until they learn to have a sense of humor

Window cleaner admired my kids' old collection of Lego Star Wars arranged on shelves above my desk. Turns out he always wanted Lego as a kid but wasn't allowed. I said you're an adult now, you can spend your money on what you like. He just bought the big Millennium Falcon.
