I will never cheer for a team that a player was accused of gang rape!

I refuse to watch any finals where both teams should be made to lose

As I frequently say, Berra devoted the rest of his life to civil rights, immigrants, education, and working in the community. At least once kids knocked on his door and asked him to play baseball; he did. It’s what used to be called citizenship. @yogiberramuseum.bsky.social teaches that.

Crime goes down when fewer people are hungry.

As Hegseth says racist things on D-Day, please to remember that Americans of all colors, ethnicities, religions, and beliefs fought to fight the Nazis. We honor those veterans.

the single most corrupt president in the history of the country by orders of magnitude, and the next admin should rescind this and aggressively audit the hell out of the entire family immediately

Stop calling right-wing radicals “conservatives.” There is nothing remotely conservative in their multi-pronged war against our Constitutional democracy.

About 20 years ago, Heather Champ, the pioneering blogger/photoblogger, and early community leader of Flickr, took my riffing on that "UGC" phrase and made a shirt out of it.

One could say that Sirhan shot the wrong Kennedy, but I couldn’t possibly comment…

Suspect that the name of Revolt Homes Ltd, building something new on the site of a torn-down single-family trad home, is the result of ESL founders. Nothing wrong with that, but grin-inducing nonetheless.

Bc American breeders are idiots 🤣 look at JUST the feet of american stallions and way too many are horrendous. Retire at 3..hell he aint done growing n he's DONE? 🤔🙄 Our top horses yrs ago who brought a check home every time they ran were a 7yo colt n a 9yo mare..not any more!

They've been ruining the breed for decades and its such a shame we got tbs running qh races.

GREG IP: “.. Adjusted for inflation, hourly wages are up 3% since the end of 2019 while profits are up 50%. That, in a nutshell, explains the chasm between an ebullient stock market and anxious public.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

obligatory Preacher panel I think of every time Stephen Miller goes off about white supremacy or some shit

It is such a Pratchett thing that he wrote so many books full of anger and cynicism, but when he wanted to express optimism and a deep love for humanity in all its potential for greatness, he wrote books centered on Death.

Some personal news: I have been placed in Little Canada, the massive miniature world attraction in Toronto, greeting the masses next to my favourite hidden gem

Ok, who was streaking in the British Museum? Because "certain members of the staff" has the sound of "especially you, Derek." about it.

Delighted to have a piece in the new History Today magazine (@historytoday.com), on Fascist rural aristocrats. Hats off to the picture editor for finding this cartoon of Mosley addressing the farmyard.

This framing is criminal. Trump was held civilly liable for sexual abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll. Yes, she is a Trump accuser — and the accusation was found to be true. The headline should read: Justice Department launches criminal investigation into writer Trump sexually abused

All golf courses should be required to have sheep :)

Converting to Catholicism so I can tell my bosses using unregulated AI is against my religion and I will sue them like that cake lady who hated gay people if they make me use it

STOP CALLING THAT UPCOMING SPORTING EVENT “FIFA”! IT’S THE *WORLD CUP*! Seriously, everybody seems to be talking about FIFA this and FIFA that. Even those in the media who should know better. It’s the World Cup. Calling it “FIFA” is like calling the Olympics “The IOC”. #fifa #worldcup #soccer #footy

The only American Exceptionalism I recognize is the ability of some Americans to be exceptionally stupid.

“Take care of yourself. Thank you for the pen.” (Grosse Pointe Blank) also half of The Fifth Element: “Multipass!” “Aziz, light!” “Anybody else want to negotiate?” “Negative. I am a meat popsicle.”

Slap a ham on Omaha pals!

Trump: “Five million people have been ‘lifted’ off food stamps.” By ‘lifted’ fuckface means kicked off and more tax breaks given to his oligarchs.

hiking in british columbia is amazing, but it’s nice to get a good ramble in where there’s rolling green hills, sheep a plenty, and where a “moderate” hike is actually moderate and not 800 metres of elevation with a little scramble at the end anyways england’s kinder peak is really lovely

It's incredible how the Leafs have successfully fought off any expansion interest in the GTA while the NHL plopped a third NYC franchise in North Jersey in the early 80s. Even more incredible is how the Leafs just suck and pocket the money.

Wow: “The tooth’s hollow had been scooped out by a stone drill rather than by natural decay or wear… The findings indicated that the prehistoric patient underwent a deliberate Stone Age root canal, a discovery that pushes back the earliest evidence of intentional dentistry by more than 40,000 years”

Finally, a bit of GOOD #equestrian news! #HorseRacing #Thoroughbreds #OTTBs chronofhorse.com/en/article/T...
