Nothing in my life has prepared me in any way to cheer for a team that's in the finals. I dont know what I'm feeling

Bandwagon Knicks fans are going to be the worst people because normal Knicks fans are already pretty annoying and our only redeeming trait is hearts made strong by despair

As we entered the subway Sharon said "We're looking for the C" and I said "That's the spirit of the sailor."

One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. It's cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants—and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it.

If only we had an opposition party in this country who wouldn't even need to do a special midnight op to scoop these people up YOU JUST HAVE TO WALK DOWN THE HALL WITH SOME COPS but no, they're all telling us how China steals our car technology and that trans people are why Dems lose elections

Relaxing in the evening: if I want to hear the video on Bsky I have to pause the podcast in my headphones and mute the Twitch stream on my 2nd monitor. I live like this

The world would be a better place if all the dumbfucks, fuckwads, fuckwits and shitwads of the world would shut the fuck up, and fuck off.

What’s fun about both Fetterman and Bill Maher is that they vacillate between two modes: one of them is finding war and death and mockery and humiliation hilarious and the other mode is them going “why are you so cruel to me? Why can you not find decency in your heart towards me?”

"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."

This is a Woodstock 99 mud pit, way worse than the camera can capture, but its a little thrilling too

Discourse about finding "the Rogan of the Left" or "the liberal answer to Fox News" rarely accounts for the reality that the entire conservative media universe is the enormously unprofitable vanity project of a few rich sociopaths. It "succeeds" because they don't care how much it costs.

I dont even think I really even...give a fuck about Josh Riley. He has a recent post about gas prices and there are actually 1,500 comments screaming at him. I couldn't last a week holding onto my sanity let alone not collapsing into the lobbyists' gentle warm embrace. Looking into their dreamy eyes

If I'd known as a teen that I'd one day be excited to grow my country music cd collection — country music! — I would have invented a time machine to go forward in time and stop me. Knowing it's from the 1970s would have made it all the more urgent. I think I have a screenplay idea

I saw probably 3 dozen ads for the new Mortal Kombat movie before I realized I was excited about it. Turns out, I am still able to be advertised to. A sucker

If I were in the Blair Witch I would definitely be getting yelled at. Swatting at the camera in my hands. "Stop recording!"

If something whirrs, it probably sucks. Sorry hummingbirds. You probably suck

Sure students can be abrasive, and Kotlikoff maybe wouldn't have been able to just "wait it out." They'd somehow have a tent city based in his back seat in 1/2 hour. But if your leadership/judgment is such that you're even putting your car in reverse here: retire. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

nazi demons fleeing back down there again. time still working on 100 year cycle. we are going to get another chubby checker by 2060 and he is going to do such a twist

People keep saying gutting the VRA and Trump were reactions to the first black President being elected but this is all shit that conservatives have been obsessed with doing ever since the VRA originally passed, along with dismantling the Great Society and the New Deal.

i know it goes wo saying but foad to us supreme court fucking racist evangelical self-dealing lawless pieces of shit in an institution always inherently anti democratic and politically demobilizing

found a whole operation of unmanned youtube channels making completely unchecked long form slop videos where the ai voice simulacra regularly trips up & does this for a full ten minutes every time. all the very legit comments are like "NO! THATS NOT TRUE! YOU LIE HE DID NOT" & never acknowledge it.

I have a complaint

The behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do

That gal's plumb outta yer league, pardner. Hope i ain't bein too forward, you see, but criminy. One such as you

One aspect of AI discipleship that I do understand: it seems maybe nice sometimes to stop thinking. Say, I've thought enough — that's going to be someone else's problem now

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

I was rinsing recyclables today and remembered how the rollout of the wide mouth can was a huge thing when I was young. Before 1997, the opening of all canned beverage was a lot narrower. A lot worse

Getting an ear piercing ruined my week. I can't wear headphones and when not sleeping I can't "toss and turn." I give getting your ear pierced. 2 stars

A fish, consoling his friend: Look, there are plenty of humans on the land

IRELAND: A man climbed onto the wing of a U.S. military Lockheed C-130 Hercules at Shannon Airport and struck it with an axe, causing “extensive” damage before being arrested, authorities said.

Something I’ve picked up on in many years of reading statements of denial from people accused of sexual violence is that they often focus more on whether the victim is believable than whether the events occurred. Because those details tend to corroborate the allegations. So they attack credibility.

Could you create a device like a record needle on vinyl, hooked up to an ekg, and you could only hear the music if your heart was beating at a precise rhythm

When you drop a bomb on civilians, I think that’s murder. I don’t really care for any justifications. They’re people. The enormity of the loss is devastating and it’s easier for some people to look away. But for other people, that’s their family. Their children. It’s just sickening and so wrong.

I guess between Louis CK returning to Netflix, Kanye West selling out stadiums, and an adoring Michael Jackson biopic being released, I feel like I am going insane all of the time living in a completely evil culture and economy

This is what radicalized me as a native of color Seeing them send fire hoses attack dogs and sound cannons on water and land defenders during Standing rock

I love learning often about basketball with the help of Google Gemini!

Everybody is such a fuckin jerk to Ellie. Cordyceps is about the only character taking it easy on her

"Sir! The men are counting on you!" I know...

In The Last of Us my lips would be soo chapped

I've got numbers on my phone

In comedy, there's a "rule of three". That's why there's "three" Stooges, and not, say, 1,000,000.

Tommy Lee Jones. That's how I've been feeling. Like TLJ

I won't engage with anyone who blames the Gaza protest vote for Trump but I think it's important to recognize what audience this is intended for: the Dem base which is increasingly unhappy with Better Things Aren't Possible If you insist on Better Thing you'll actually get Worse Thing, they say

i, for one, am ready to let ai handle all of my important medical decisions

American capitol cities are a great source of baby names. Lincoln, Raleigh, Madison, Juneau. Saint Paul. Little Rock

Five desert island albums: New Order greatest hits, Mazzy Star greatest hits, the Cure greatest hits, the Cranberries greatest hits, and Television's Marquee Moon

Can think of nothing more cowardly than pressing a button to shoot a missile that will land dozens or hundreds of miles away. Little bottle of water next to your desk. "Yes sir" and all that shit. Walking around saluting each other. Fucking losers. Killers.

"Bluesky doesn't have the juice." "Real media access is still only on Twitter." "No one important uses or will ever use this site." Skill issue. If you post good, the right people will figure out how to get in touch with you.

Nothing that can help regular people is possible. Everything that can hurt regular people is easy to do. This is basically how most politicians act right now.

I know what people I know look like. But I dont spend a lot of time thinking about it, for at least 80% of em. This made me think i have a little bit of face blindness. Maybe it is
