every time i listen to that Cobra remix with Megan Thee Stallion and Spiritbox? yeah, i'd be over the moon for a whole album of them doing stuff together because this rules.

i shouldn't be surprised that comedy has its own equivalent to the Saudi Cup, LIV Golf, or WWE Saudi Shows, shiny events used to varnish over human rights abuses. you know what's gonna make Saudi shows okay? when they're not used to distract from killing journalists and locking up dissidents!

okay, 99 vs. 856 is a VERY hard Fat Bear Week vote. both of these bears are gloriously fat bears. explore.org/fat-bear-week

If you're accepting the framing that there is an 'autism problem' that needs a 'solution', then you're a fucking eugenicist even if you disagree with Trump and Kennedy Jr about what that solution is. Fuck off.

Someone needs to make a Stardew Valley mod where you play as Hangman.

Hanger Knight: Did Nothing Wrong

Cozy game featuring Hangman working in the garden, house husbanding. Taking care of the kids. Wrestling twice a week. Cooking dinner.

What if every video game had Hangman Adam Page as the protagonist? What then? The gaming industry would be saved, that's what

If you need an unambiguous thirst trap Lincoln, may I introduce you to this statue in Chicago's Senn Park.

nothing says ‘its fall yall’ like bees buzzin around on your goldenrod while the strawberry bushes you planted nearby just absolutely fuck off right back into the waterlogged clay into which you placed them

just put the crown on Nicola now. this is her season of Love Island Games.

Chilling dispatch from Mario Guevara, the journalist trapped in ICE detention for...doing his job.

a...fascinating but also distressingly relevant Tuesday read.

who is it? what is it? IT'S A BEAR

"he's too greasy!" "we lube people!" if you're not watching @mysterywrestling.bsky.social right now, you are *missing out*. www.twitch.tv/EvilUno

nice to wake up and have Stat having the gold not be a figment of my imagination 😭😍 first time i ever watched AEW i was taken by her presence and i *love* that she has the big belt now. 🤼

STAT 🤼😍😭

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

yesssssss! Gosger, Baeza, and David of Athens for me in the Pennsylvania Derby. good luck!

Really hard to focus on creating actionable insights from unstructured data when my neighbors are being kidnapped and assaulted

This is what all our *currently* elected officials should be doing, and not nearly enough are. We need people who are willing to stand up against fascism, not weak-willed appeasers. Good on you, @katmabu.bsky.social

And in case you think this is just because of one protest or one bad day

something tells me @gloriousalliance.bsky.social appreciates that a horse named Moe Eighty Eight just won at Aqueduct :)

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

"keep thinking" is a really distressing and dystopian slogan for a Plagiarbot

It's Baby Safety Month.

ICE has been sidestepping some of the city's most organized resistance. They're learning, and they are also wearing people out. Meanwhile, conservatives will cover their attacks on Chicagoland as successful operations in Chicago, while a lot of liberals (who don't live here) insist the city is fine.

Chicagoland is Chicagoland, and the feds shouldn't be snatching neighbors anywhere in or around our city.

Amid these ICE raids, something folks should understand about the Chicago suburbs is that a lot of stereotypes about the era of white flight from the city do not apply. A lot of these folks were priced out of Chicago and many commute to work here. They are part of the same social fabric.

fun Pennsylvania Derby fact: the largest winning margin in the race, 17 lengths, still belongs to Illinois-bred star Western Playboy, who won it in 1989. (and now i'm rabbit holing down Western Playboy's female family. so many nice Vanier horses in that family.)

...it sure is creepy how well this captures the zeitgeist. www.its-x-for-y.com

Fun Fact: there’s one simple word to describe what you are if you believe that Antifascism is terrorism, and it’s right there in the name.

"Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling still rules. i am overdue for that one at karaoke, too.

dudes rock. (seriously, this is great.)

Aidan O'Brien saying of Delacroix, "he's not for kids"...just EVERYTHING

in the wee hours of this morning, delirious from lack of sleep, i told some people the story of that rainbow over the course just before Tepin won the Woodbine Mile back in 2016. and then her last foal, Delacroix, goes and wins the Irish Champion Stakes today. dammit, it got dusty in here. 🏇

There's a word for someone who prioritizes the white race, says that Black people are less intelligent or less civilized than white people, Jews control the world through money, Muslims are evil terrorists anathema to Western Civilization, and being trans should be illegal. Nazi. That's the word.

Civility Politics are just white supremacy that is digestible for white moderates and centrists. Wild seeing these white centrists fully back white supremacist beliefs like this but not surprising. This is why I have been so clear that the white moderates are just as racist as any fascist.

I think this says it all!

okay, Spun to Run x Critic's Choice = Spun D M C is some #DoingHorseNamingRight.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

We do not want to live in a society where every single person has become totally numb to witnessing horrifying violence. Claiming that everyone needs to “toughen up” by exposing themselves to horrifically violent imagery is *simply doing fascism’s work for it.*

"there are four things in life that never end well: Ponzi schemes, arranged marriages, unarranged marriages, and pocket jacks." seriously. Norman Chad. never change. 😆

oh man the trains are on one tonight. almost half an hour for a Brown Line to the loop from Southport, and then supposed to be three brown line trains before my Green Line transfer home. wheeeeeeeeee #chicago

love that Sawyer Fox, who won the one-other-than at Hawthorne just now, is out of a mare named...One Other Than.

i...cannot believe i had never seen that HBK/Taker promo package George talks about here. that's amazing - and i also never realised how much i needed to hear a Placebo cover of Running Up That Hill, either. 🤼

we are getting to the point that, given my propensity to make current events flash cards, anyone i give my deck to should also be given an explicit language warning. so many flashies with F-bombs.

really though how can you not love Toni and Mina <3

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked
