saw THE ODYSSEY. still thinking *so much* about it. really searching exploration of exactly everything i've recently posted to bsky about america and how it sucks and we're all slavers and suitors and/but my exact modern-progressive politics have always been the solution. in this thread, (1/109)

no interest in the new Marvel movie, but 'florence pugh wrestling florence pugh' is the most exciting text string of 2026 bar none

Ferran Torres explaining his winning goal as “I saw the ball coming to me, I shoot with the power of all Spanish people” is a good answer

The tickets for this match cost anywhere from $9500 to $32500. So the people booing him paid a fuckton of money to do so.

I hate that we have two Dakotas. Republicans got greedy for new states in the 1880s and we're still paying for that a century and a half later. Two states that, when combined, have the same population as The Bronx. They shouldn't get four senators.

I wrote this in 2015 about @dicknixon.bsky.social. I haven't looked at it for some time. The formatting changed - it's dreadful, difficult to read. But I think it holds up & is hopefully an antidote to the 'Nixonmaxxing' stuff, which I never intended to spark, & yet.. www.vox.com/2015/10/8/94...

I simply do not understand what is happening here but it’s very funny

To France, to France, and get what you have lost!

Yes.

happy infrastructure week everyone

Hard to remember such an obvious tactical screw-up from a manager in a game with these stakes. It wasn't working, there were massive warning signs, and he doubled down on it. Really wild.

this, this obviously. abandoning any pretense of attacking football, and just inviting those argentine attackers to a fucking shooting gallery, isn't strategy. it's dereliction.

I actually stood and applauded that tackle.

SPENCE!!!!!!!

'you had two coming-togethers there' is a series of words that be formed by a mouth, certainly, but not a dignified adult one.

when i was little my dad went back to visit family & friends in england, and when he returned home he brought us Beano and Dandy books. 'Roy of the Rovers.' i reread them until they fell apart. dad was so proud of living down the road from his hero, George Best. (stories do get embellished.)

alexia lalas opens his mouth and the air is fouled by a river of shit. the man isn't fit to sell rice cookers on midnight television, much less bore millions of world cup viewers; he has the charisma and wit of a soiled couch cushion. he should have been left on a rock at birth.

The discord was lit today

I have no idea where this came from, but

The intersection where this happened is one of the places where safe street initiatives have been frozen by the Wu adminstration. And it seems like one of the most profound ways of honoring Louisa Gag's life and her work would be pressuring the Wu admin. to resume these much-needed street projects.

This brilliant demonstration of the filtering capacity of oysters was produced by a group at Hong Kong University. A single oyster can filter between 200 & 500 litres of water a day of particulates & even toxic algae. The clear water is more productive, more biodiverse. (📷: SCMP via YT)

if you must speak, speak into the tiger's mouth

he's been like this since entering the 2016 race -- riffing incoherently, lying, playing to the crowd without any substance. an obvious imbecile. his followers like it because he's (1) shamelessly entertaining and (2) not a democrat. reporters like it for the same reason. contemptible all around.
