I thought I was feeling crazy where people were teeheeing about the multiple dildos getting thrown on the court when my first thought was it was sexual harassment because from people mad the wnba was getting popular.

The DK Metcalf story, happening as the Vice President is announcing you don’t have to apologize for being white, is one of those atmosphere-building details that create the best dystopian stories.

After what we're seeing at CBS, if today is not the perfect day for everyone to find some independent journalism & nonprofit newsrooms to support... what day could be better?

Tis the season!

Gifting myself 2 new front tires and a tow for Christmas because that's how the week is going so far 😂 its only up from here

The stakes of the AI revolution are high — and politicians need to act now, writes @katiephang.bsky.social. 👉 katiephang.substack.com/p/the-ai-rev...

The full Weiss memo is dogshit -who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT -who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison —who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Streisand Effect, when merged, become the Bari Weiss Effect

Blazers are gonna win tonight just for the plot

This seems like the most effective approach

Important context here: when Peter Thiel and David Sacks began their war on diversity as undergrads at Stanford, thirty years ago, the very first tactic they adopted was to normalize slurs that had already been stigmatized out of mainstream society. This return of these hateful terms was a key goal.

smh

so cool! now when I commit high crimes in flagrant violation of international law, all I have to do is refuse to talk about them on camera, and then, since they couldn't get "both sides," I can avoid an embarrassing news report on them! amazing system. A+

tonight the government killed a story on cbs about the slave labor camp in a foreign country theyre illegally sending people to

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

it’s probably not a great thing that every NFL/MLB/NBA season now comes down to which team can barely scrape together enough healthy players to drag themselves crawling over the finish line!

Draymond being a scoundrel, who'd of thunk it?

Big Chungus has lasted almost 20 times longer than the Confederacy

NEVER ANY DOUBT! 😂

Blazers late game management has been atrocious

It's rather incredible to me how many sports outlets' primary takeaway from this livestream was that Nacua criticized NFL refs and not that he did something EXTREMELY antisemitic during it. AA is practically the only one to actually highlight this.

Not sure what to think of receiving this information from Pop Crave

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Damn, Jalen Johnson is gonna be good for a while huh?

nothing quite like seeing the red nose on the white stag sign, en route to spending time with family

I looked into this Duyck family farm story a bit, and it turns out that in 1994 a group of University of Portland students spent their spring break "sprucing up" the row of cement block homes in which the Duyck family housed their migrant laborers. This is the farm Kyle claims as his heritage.

Scoot Henderson is doing more and improving but still hasn’t been cleared for full contact yet.

Latest injury updates from Tiago Splitter: Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III are both likely going to be available to play tomorrow vs. Golden State. Jrue Holiday and Matisse Thybulle both improving and doing more but won’t be ready tomorrow.

8 is too late! Good call! The 8pm Tuesday game a couple weeks back was rough!

Man sentences used to mean things

the people of this great republic yearn for locomotive transport

“Through the years we all will be together, if the fates allow…” Well, we all know how that turned out. Territorial concerns about promoting another company’s characters, ceding control, or tarnishing a brand makes this kind of thing virtually impossible with current arrangements…

Fulu sets repair bounties on consumer products that employ sneaky features that limit user control. Just this week, it awarded more than $10,000 to the person who hacked the Molekule air purifier.

Crazy that this is what parts of WA state look like right now and there really isn’t much news coverage. For context, the PNW got hit by an atmospheric river that dumped 5 trillion gallons of water in a few days. We have another on the way next week too btw. If you’re local stay safe

They're all first games all the time

🚨 URGENT!!!!!! Congress is trying to ram through 18 massive censorship/surveillance laws TODAY 🚨 CALL THESE REPS NOW and tell them —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO to age verification laws —NO to the SCREEN Act —NO to digital ID laws (App Store Accountability Act) badinternetbills.com

The US is down at least $30 billion in tourism for 2025. International boycotts and a loss in appeal to visit due to Donald Trump has resulted in millions of trips canceled.

Holy shit, thank you FIFA for naming me Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. I am honored, and I can't wait to KICK it with y'all at the after party and whatnot.

I think I’m graduating from the “refs have an anti-Portland agenda” to “the sports betting companies have an anti-Portland agenda” because this shit is getting absurd.

If it has EVER WORKED, someone would give the faculty who ask these questions in every single damn meeting right before the next knife goes in an example of a school this saved. Instead, the consultant/administrative/business class insists it does with no examples of how or where and when.

NEW: an activist has been charged for allegedly wiping a Google Pixel phone before CBP could search it. Search was by a secretive CBP Tactical Terrorism Response Team, which ACLU says "interrogate innocent travelers." We uploaded the indictment here: www.404media.co/man-charged-...

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

TEA: the chicago department of streets & sanitation is responsible for cleaning streets. They thew a temper tantrum & refused to maintain bike lanes as a way to prevent bike lanes from being built. Cdot was then made responsible for cleaning bike lanes. This is not acceptable & needs to be fixed.

I do suspect covid has something to do with the uptick in pro injury, not the vaccine, but having had covid or multiple covid infections might make healing slower/harder

Robots will replace you!! H/t @ikesourus.bsky.social

Edey was getting toasted by Yang in the post, then he fouled Yang hard and refs botched the call, then also botched safety protocol for Hansen's possible injury. Refs need to be better
