GO BLUEEEEEE

Just saw an ad for a personal injury lawyer that opened with “we all know auto insurance companies provide an important service” and omg when did they invent Reasonable Centrist ambulance chasers??? Yes he was wearing a bow tie and suspenders btw

“military aged males” got normalized as a viable target for war and it’s pretty much a racialized fiction meant to justify indiscriminate murder.

That might’ve been the worst televised concert at a sporting event I’ve ever seen and that’s saying something bc I have watched several NBA All-Star weekends

Genuinely who thought booking the chainsmokers do their own live singing on tv like this was a good idea

Tom Steyer seems like he might be the best of the (distressingly weak) field for CA Governor, but I’m having a hard time forgetting how in 2020 he attacked free public college with “my kids should have to pay for college.” Your kids went to Harvard, Yale, and Stanford! Those schools aren’t covered!

Heat Culture is surrendering 147 points on 58% shooting from the field 😤😤😤

There’s no team I’d like to see us have a 53 point quarter against more than Miami that is amazing

Sacramento will never be a proper city until there’s a place on K street that will let me pay $18-$25 to build a ludicrously huge salad I can bring back to work and eat at my desk

Yaxel Lendeborg vs NCAA opposition == Jayson Tatum against NBA opposition. The ideal modern forward, unbelievably versatile + intelligent, skilled enough to put the team on his back and dominate if necessary while also having the temperament to play within the team construct and let teammates shine.

Rocky Top (when played by a brass band and absolutely not when sung with lyrics) really is one of our better songs

“23 year old, below-the-rim power forward who commits more fouls than the refs will call and has never missed an 8 foot bank shot in his life” is the most annoying archetype of college basketball player but you do like it when your pick to make the Elite 8 has one.

mainstream media outlets should probably be vocally asking who the actual President is

Endless propaganda has convinced Americans that bombs dropping in the Middle East is “normal.” As if those families don’t have jobs, school, hopes & dreams. As if every life lost isn’t someone’s entire universe. Geographical luck. That’s the only difference between you & them.

I’m aware it doesn’t actually matter but nonetheless it drives me up the wall how reporters talk about athletes “receiving” a signature shoe from brand sponsors. As if it’s a gift bestowed out of the brand’s goodness of heart, rather than a commercial partnership from which the brand hopes to profit

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Given the gleefully fascist ideological commitments of ~every Republican in professional politics under the age of 30, I’d really like “people with Nazi insignias tattooed on their body can’t be in the government” to hold as a taboo.

I dunno man, objectively the Iran War isn't the worst thing Trump has done by a long shot (yet, anyways) but the sheer fucking stupidity of it is really turning on the old existential despair these days; so much positive potential foreclosed on for no reason except boredom and cruelty and malice.

Man shout out Jaylen Brown. That was a warrior’s effort tonight. Came up short but that type of game is why I will always 100% rock with him and why I don’t think he’s won his last postseason MVP trophy

There’s just no case at all for continuing to let the US compete in international sports competitions

We gotta institute a recall process for Senators, 6 years is way too long to deal with this bullshit

BAM ADEBAYO SHOT 43 FREE THROWS ON THE NIGHT JAYLEN BROWN GOT EJECTED OVER INCONSISTENT OFFICIATING?

If we’re throwing Jaylen Brown out of the game for that, Draymond Green should never have finished a game in his life

Behold the intellectual might of the conservative legal movement

It’s very rude to Brian Scalabrine to have a show where you make him stand directly next to Chris Bosh.

Having some difficulty explaining the concept of halftime to my 2 year old, who is looking at the halftime show and (reasonably, I guess) telling me “it’s over”

Said it before and I'll say it again: In a world where all evil is cartoonishly obvious, the cartoonishly obvious answer here — Donald Trump had Jeffrey Epstein murdered and the footage destroyed — is clearly the correct one

The wealthiest, most cosseted, most physically safe people in the history of the world decided to destroy the system that made them that way because they had to listen to a dreadlocked Columbia grad tell them “it’s bad to use slurs at work” for 2 hours a year and they couldn’t handle it. Pathetic.

White people really spent decades making vicious jokes about Black naming conventions only to elect someone named “Markwayne” to the United States Senate

These are the types of posts I need to see more Dem senators making

You’d really think one or two of these guys might remember how a guy named Obama who no one had ever heard of 4 years prior beat Hilary Clinton in 2008 almost entirely on the strength of “I didn’t vote for Iraq.” But unfortunately this is America in 2026 so learning from past experience is illegal

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

So, all those firms that capitulated did so for no reason. They showed their bellies while absolutely botching the law and misreading the politics to boot. Tough scene, hard to come back from.

Fitting that in America’s final form, the epicenter of evil will be a private golf resort for wealthy pedophiles.

indiscriminately bombing Iran is not a distraction of the Epstein files, it is a validation of their significance as more than a sex pest hunt. this is what elite impunity for morons looks like. a school turned to rubble on a whim.

the entire pitch of Cuomo was that sure he's a loathsome sex pest but he has what it takes to stand up to Trump, and then the hot leftist starts every phone call with "what's up big dog" and gets Trump to do whatever he wants.

the classic sci fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus didn't prepare me for how stupid the Torment Nexus would be in real life

That’s cool, probably no big deal, especially not in combination with the news earlier this week that the Pentagon is trying to extort Anthropic into letting them build robot weapons that will fire without human input.

he was out front on marriage equality and all it did was make him popular enough to become governor and now he wants a new job and WHOOPS he has to say it's a liabilty because he wants votes from people he has contempt for. a different group he has contempt for this time.

It’s so cool that Jaylen Brown is in the “didn’t actually play that well, but still put up 32/8/7/3 steals/+18 in a blowout win over a solid playoff team” part of his career.

Beer at the game should cost the same as the percentage of the crowd that will arrive by personal automobile. 100% of your crowd is driving? Beer is $100. Everyone there is going home by bus or rail? Beer is free. Feel like this idea has the potential to solve our nation’s transit crisis tbh

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

Awfully hard to square the claims that ICE is focused on removing violent criminals that are so dangerous we can't let them be around with the fact that ICE tricks their targets by pretending to need help and waiting for neighborly types to respond by offering to help a stranger for free.

There must be trials. Not as an emotive aspiration, rhetorical meme, or empty threat. A concrete plan. A dedicated special court for it. Structural legislation and prosecutors and funding and all the rest of it. Everything necessary for it can be done constitutionally. All it takes is the will.

POV: you are playing against Michigan men’s basketball and their open 3s are dropping

Never gone 0-60 from “I have never heard of this player” to “I hate his guts and want him gone” on someone as fast as I have on Prestianni in the second half of this match. What a complete shithead.
