good guy @alyankovic.bsky.social as always

pickett's charge is one of the stupidest military maneuvers ever ordered and I do not have to die on that hill because so many confederates did it for me

Truest words ever written.

gumby was always saying this

look, whether you root for team USA or not, i think we can all agree the important thing is that you should feel like a sorry piece of shit 24 hours a day for deciding to be alive

Statement from Counsel for Olympian Davey Hearn:

I looked up the full text of 4834 and Illinois is straight up refusing to acknowledge testosterone as a controlled substance or track prescriptions of it and will destroy any such existing records. This is really great!

I love how the Lost Causers get so puffy-chested about Lee getting fancied in his best up to surrender his raggedy-ass and starving army to the slovenly Grant as if that doesn’t explain everything about why those degenerate fops lost the stupid fucking war they started.

When Alderson Goodridge packed up his entire life and family to move to this country, he couldn’t have dreamed of the life I live. This team, full of Black and Brown faces, represents the dream my grandfather passed to his son, who passed it to me. I won’t let these chuds take that.

"Pokemon" is short for "pocket monsters". "Digimon" is short for "digital monsters". Therefore, "salmon" is short for "saltwater monsters". (You might object: salmon spend a big part of their life in freshwater. But pokemon spend a big part of their life outside pockets too!)

seems like a pretty big and consequential unforced error to make and i don’t know how or why i would ever choose to trust you with education of anyone ever again. dear university presidents: i can teach you to tend bar for subsistence, but i can’t promise you’ll be good.

Judge Reed O'Connor decided one of the first anti-trans legal victories in 2016. Being one of two judges who sentenced Prairieland protestors to a combined 547 years in prison for being antifa gender extremist terrorists is the latest in a decade-long arc.

It's terrifying to see how much worse the dehumanization of immigrants by the right has gotten even just in the past year. And it is still being euphemized by media as an "immigration agenda." No, the mainstream position of Republicans is that they want to do ethnic cleansing.

The stage is falling apart at the rehearsal for Freedom 250's July 4th celebration.

Huffines as comptroller is going to be a disaster.

The chatbots of people

i have a number of bones to pick with the catholic church but if the chi-town pope needs a CI referent to help run interference on right-wing asshole sects than i could see my way to going 1099 for that shit

blogged about those godless communists, Greg Abbott and ERCOT: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Insert joke about getting the rise AND fall of the InfoWars Elf before GTA VI

You have never laughed as hard as the Washington Post reporter who wrote this sentence.

THEY GOT NICK LUTSKO LET'S GO

There . . . is a baptism pool?

Here's my full interview with CNBC, covering my bear case against generative AI, OpenAI's questionable finances, AI's lack of ROI, and how all of this is a symptom of the tech industry running out of hypergrowth ideas. It's great to see the mainstream media discussing this. youtu.be/TtmPccUTDP8?...

Welcome to Texas before renewables exploded

“have a country” here means, of course, “live in a white ethnostate”

Can’t sleep, went for it @phat7deuce.bsky.social

I wrote about the sad Trump Country Fair thing and the very specific and hilariously shitty vision of America that it expresses. The war on metaphor continues apace. defector.com/dead-country...

Kavanaugh really, really wants people to think that trans sports bans and his decision upholding them are strictly about sports None of that is true! ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/west-...

i saw more cis people online losing their shit over playstation ending physical game releases than any part of this since tuesday, but madiba doesn’t miss and gives a fuck and this is what the big picture looks like. which seems not great when you put it into a 234-word graf.

"“Communion,” far more than “Hillbilly Elegy,” is the work of an inveterate opportunist, one who appears torn between the urge to camouflage his careerism—Vance’s true religion—and an equally strong desire to be admired for how well and how profitably he plays the game."

finally got around to reading @winterjessica.bsky.social review of j.d. vance's new book and it is devastating

worth saying is that this was the sentiment behind trump's election year rhetoric about "black jobs"

BREAKING: Per FIFA's regulations at the World Cup, the USMNT cannot appeal Flo Balogun's red card.

"I see my two beautiful sons sitting there. I think I'm going to ... have a threesome."

24 years since the U.S. won a knockout round game btw. It has felt like and been a loooong time

Now we appeal the Balogun suspension in the Northern District of Texas

The USMNT has won a third game at a World Cup, a thing they have never done before

I would take this 100 times out of 100 over Country Roads

USA USA USA

The White House is openly saying they want to eliminate a minority group and people still want to say this is about sports.

I need all the good posting to continue when the women play next year everybody, I mean it

genuinely curious about the worms in this guy’s brains. seriously beginning to wonder if he is entertaining election denialism.

witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing

Nah I’m ok thanks

This interview in Vanity Fair came out in 2010, and this exchange from it has lived rent-free in my head ever since.

i kinda love this answer, it’s very illuminating. it’s not about female athletes at all, it’s about the fragile egos of delusional psychopathic parents who want returns on their perceived investments

I spy the company that has ruined sports merchandise up there
