@davidjroth.bsky.social every postseason, I must ask is there anyone wetter in baseball than Brandon Marsh?

If someone uses Chat GPT to plan their trip they should have their passport revoked

One thing that will ease the darkness for me is knowing that no matter how much power or wealth these people obtain, they will always be incapable of happiness and will spend their entire lives miserable, angry, and afraid

A lot of the Trump regime-Nazi Germany comparisons don’t really work by ICE as the SS and/or Gestapo is incredibly apt

Chappelle and Rowling are all the proof you need that transphobia just melts your brain

It’s the Torment Nexus all the way down

This is a great thread. Only thing I’d add is that Egypt thought that their cotton exports could be used to build up a state to compete with European imperial powers and took out huge loans based on future cotton exports./1

One should really read Dave Cullen’s book “Columbine.” A difficult read due to the subject matter, but the definitive word on the subject

100 times this. A wounded animal can be very dangerous but it’s still wounded and nowhere near the peak of its strength

One Battle After Another 2025 Dir. Paul Thomas Anderson

Well, good thing he doesn’t have sole authority to launch nuclear weapons cause that would be fucking terrifying

One Battle After Another

This is EXCELLENT. 1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome. 2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.

I guess Shaun King is ready to try his hand in the majors of grifting.

What movie do you consider “perfect”?

Performative demonstrations of strength are kinda a hallmark of fascism and typically contain a ton of window dressing. People talk about following the Orban playbook, but that’s a lot easier in a nation as small as Hungary and when 1/3 of Hungary lived in Budapest

I’ve seen a lot of shameless liars in politics in 30 years, but Vance is easily the most loathsome. With Trump you could make the case he has no idea what he’s talking about, but Vance is a whole other level of shamelessness

Not saying this isn’t serious, but this is also some serious loser shit. A halfway competent opposition would shred these clowns and it’s galling that we don’t have that, but these are not the moves of people operating from a position of strength but the desperate flailing of a movement running on e

Looking ahead to next summer: “They’re calling it the least attended World Cup in history!”

Additionally, GA folks on here, no prescription needed to get the updated Covid booster at CVS minute clinics.

Y’all should read “Spectators” by Brian K. Vaughn and Niko Henrichon. Eerily disturbing that the collected edition came out this week

When you’re the paper of record and have definitely understood the franchise up until this point

This is really, really interesting stuff

As always, multiple things can be true at the same time: Charlie Kirk is an absolute piece of shit and political violence like this should never be accepted and shootings on any type of campus are always horrific. If you’re cheering this on, take a moment and think about the aftermath

Pietà Michelangelo, 1498-1499

Looking at responses by governors and it’s so clear that Newsom wants to be Trump and Pritzker wants to defeat Trump and if you don’t understand why that’s a crucial difference I don’t know what to tell you

White ISIS

the hot new trend of 2031 is trad wives burying their dead, unvaccinated children

there is *no* organic push for Gavin Newsom. there is marketing and there are marks. if you're caping for Newsom and not getting paid, I've got bad news about which one of those you are.

Y’all know you can condemn and extrajudicial killing without posting the snuff video right?

how the fuck could you even tell if a dog had autism it's a goddamned dog

It’s so weird that they would take this action for 4 years of a presidential term. Google “Aktion T-4” to find out more

Ms Rogers, my APUSH teacher who was a former Black Panther. Dr. Christine Skwiot at Georgia State who oversaw my undergrad thesis in her Frontiers and Borderlands seminar which completely transformed how I viewed these regions

When Isaac Chotiner interrupts you and asks “what did you just say?” That’s about the biggest fuck-up imaginable

You come at the Great Khan, you better not miss

Yes, we all remember the famous line by Cato the Elder “Carthage must sit down for negotiations l.”

More proof that the scared, pathetic worms ranting about immigration “changing the country” are just mad because they’re missing out on the good stuff

Gonna do a backup of the normal_now thread…

For those saying that the Cup will be moved out of the US…

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Love this so much 🖤🖤 For #MusicSky

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Jimmy Dobson dead it’s time for a TikTok thread

James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

This happens in another country and we’d be reporting it as the beginning of a civil conflict

If there’s a guy like this at the ballpark and he’s not covered in beer and/or spit until he leaves, I have questions about that fanbase

Not gonna lie, pretty excited to see a Democratic governor refer positively to Haymarket and the Pullman Strike
