Im rewatching the Coen Bros v of The Odyssey (O Brothet Where Are Thou) and I would take a gd bullet for John Goodman the way he honors and elevates southern accents compared to so many pisspoor performances from hollywood regarding the south.

“Satchel Paige was the best pitcher I ever saw." – Bob Feller "Satchel Paige was the greatest pitcher in baseball." – Ted Williams "The best and fastest pitcher I've ever faced." - Joe DiMaggio Satchel Paige, born 7 July 1906.

F*CK PALANTIR

That Lupita Nyong’o’s looks have made some of the most powerful men go completely insane and fight over her inclusion in this movie only goes to prove that Nolan casting her was absolutely correct bsky.app/profile/dail...

"Another caller, who said she was sleeping in her home, said she heard someone say the n-word twice before she heard two or three gunshots."

"Just as junk embryology cloaks the intent to put adult women in their place, beneath the idea of binary biological sex lies a darker, meaner social ideology of gender," writes @judith-levine.bsky.social.

Tetanus is returning. In the 1930s, Tetanus was widespread in the US. The development & deployment of vaccines reduced annual cases from ~ 600 in the 1940s to 17 in 2020. Mortality dropped 99%. There is no cure for tetanus. We have forgotten how life was before vaccines. 🧪 archive.today/c6QVx

One of those movies I would watch at any time

the Epstein fanboy who claims Maxine Waters assaulted him? color me shocked

Awwww, congratulations Marina 🥲 #WNBA

To me, the part of Supergirl worth discussing was her actions at the end of the movie...the ethical statement made was problematic and way too in tune with the times IMHO The rest was a decent, but not deep, summer movie

She should have told him that they only needed "20 minutes" of his time

Kasie Hunt asked Scott Jennings on live TV if McConnell would be willing to call in to CNN. The discomfort on Jennings’ face while he tried to bullshit his way around that answer was really something. Methinks we still aren’t getting the whole story.

If exercising your constitutional right depends on having the right documents, then for many Americans it’s no longer a right—it’s a barrier. A democracy should make voting easier, not harder. #SAVEActIsPayToVote

Ann Arbor has apparently changed a lot since I moved to Lansing

AI is already deciding whether you get hired, get a loan, or get an apartment. And when it discriminates, there's almost no way to hold anyone accountable. I interviewed @sarajacobs.house.gov about her new bill that would change that. Full video: youtu.be/RQxOSKu6gDQ

There are so many men with festering resentment toward #MeToo (even though there was very limited accountability or punishment) that have been waiting for an opportunity to voice it.

Not sure I would use the word "fan" But a lot of what we are experiencing today was all on display in the character DFens

July 24, 1981: 📸 Anne Knudsen Herald-Examiner Collection. This was taken at the A&M Records lot in Hollywood.

This is going in the slide deck for the Homicide chapter in Criminal Law.

Which is awesome, but I bet her brother will still make fun of her #IYKYK

I am not "sad" that the USMNT lost, I am devastated that they got destroyed and played as poorly as I have seen them play in a LONG time Belgium was the superior team, but the USMNT made it beyond easy for them

A federal appeals court today struck down parts of Florida’s Stop WOKE Act, calling it a “breathtaking assertion of power” that unconstitutionally censors what professors can discuss with their students about race, sex and other forms of bias. www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/07/07/f...

She was near the top of the 6th player award list for the season? What do you have to do to get Becky Hammon to kick you to the curb when you are massively contributing?

In fairness, the USMNT did not ask Trump to do a damn thing

Private Equity is basically the restaurant scene in Goodfellas played on repeat forever, and with a new restaurant destroyed every day

Private equity is buying America's hospitals and nursing homes. The playbook: pile on debt, sell the building, cut staff. The result, one landmark study found: patient deaths up about 11%. #news #information #privateequity

Spoke to my friend Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today

Spoke to my friend Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today

I tire of the constant blatant lying.

JUST IN: Over 1,200 former DOJ employees just signed a letter urging the Senate to REJECT Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General.

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” with @texastribune.org

The war successfully concluded....again www.axios.com/2026/07/07/u...

Tom Homan has said *publicly* that ICE is now arresting "half-and-half" immigrants with criminal records or arrests and immigrants without. I wonder what his statistics are on this, given the misleading data DHS has given before. And, further, this is a *brag* on his part, like a good thing.

Even the routine cases are travesties, rife with unnecessary suffering.

Also, kind of funny that they act like Jim Crow was some quick battle that we all won through courage and strength....It literally ended in the late 60s (in many of our lifetimes)

This is from the new WH report on the Smithsonian’s Museum of American History, calling for what the museum *should* say about slavery and human rights. One question: those 750,000 people who died in the Civil War to end slavery… who killed them? And why?

I don't believe reporters should promote Blue Bell Ice Cream without mentioning in the article that when the company found out its product was killing people, they didn't report it. 20 years ago, these were nostalgic, feel-good stories. After that episode, they're whitewashing bad corporate actors.

Stay classy Belgium....Good Lord

I think a lot of good people are doing good work in all of these states and localities...But, beware, Trump has already signaled that he will preempt local laws that retard the growth of AI We need NATIONAL regulations too

One of the oddest things is when people talk about how the Women's team is better than the Men's soccer team, like it is a contest Everyone who loves soccer knows the Women's team is better than the Men's team and loves both teams We would like for the Men to get as good as the Women #USMNT #USWNT

Side note: You can see Tupac in the video (he was a dancer for DU at the time)
