There's nothing more obnoxious than music fans who constantly try to one up other people in how early they were to liking an artist. "Oh you loved their debut album?? I was rocking with them when they were making Soundcloud joints" NOBODY CARES ROSCOE

To say that Wu needs professional help has become the mother of all understatements.

If you followed the saga of Angel Reese and the post-NCAA racist shit show (that Jill Biden inadvertently ended up in), this episode is very much a full circle moment imho

what's the opposite of "stupid games stupid prizes"?

They want to claim the SPLC is “inventing” racism while high-level administration figures are regularly calling for ethnic cleansing.

the conservative reaction to the virginia results remind me quite a bit of their reaction to the 2012 presidential election, where they were offended that democrats ran to win

After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Charles Barkley likes to refer to a team’s leader as the “bus driver”. Tonight that was without a doubt Scoot Henderson, delivering the best scoring performance of his career. Coincidentally, due to cost cutting measures by Tom Dundon Scoot Henderson is also now the literal bus driver for the team.

They think you're stupid.

It's still early, but this might shape up to be one of the most exciting first rounds I've seen in quite a few seasons. Oh wait sorry I forgot we're talking about the NBA *clears throat*...UGH! all these games stink!! The league is dying, blah blah blah.

Just picked up a copy of Blazers' travel itinerary back to Portland. Should be there in plenty of time for Friday night's Game 3.

Detroit, Denver, New York, Boston & San Antonio have all lost at home this postseason. Home teams are 8-5 so far this playoffs, the most combined losses through the first 2 games of a postseason since 2020-21.

Lol Dudley leaning all the way into transphobia to try and jumpstart his trash ass primary campaign. Quelle surprise

This Piker thing is simply moronic, but I do wish people would do a better job of connecting the dots when talking about it. The only reason why Bulwark et al. are trying to make it a "Thing" is because they're trying to torpedo El-Sayed's candidacy by making Hasan his de facto surrogate.

Now that the regular season is just around the corner, it's worth reminding folks what kind of time Angel was on last season even as she got saddled with the league's worst roster and no plays actually being run for her.

This is also why I check out when people minimize racism as a material & economic interest. Towns keep their taxes low by pulling over Black people. CEOs pump up their stock by selling technology meant to surveil us. Insurance companies meet their margins selling exorbitant policies in Black cities.

It'd sure be nice if Kamala Harris' campaign organization wouldn't constantly promote Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, and whatnot. But oh well.

they are designed for shareholders asking "so what are you doing with AI" who are generally not your customers, but incentive structures being what they are...

The Blazers really are going to be mediocre for the remainder of my lifetime.

Nuggets/Wolves is always pure cinema.

An intractable problem that centrist media types suffer from is that they've spent the last 2+ years relentlessly smearing all Palestine-solidarity protestors as nothing more than privliged elite college students & third party spoilers.

If you're in line for the AI Is Fucking Over Party STAY IN LINE

Naming his album “iceman” in this political climate is very culturally aloof and very on brand.

The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of: “people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”

Vandersloot pocket watching her teammates in the press and acting like the GM. Lol, the Chicago Sky will never change.

A rather vapid belief still present among some center-left media types is that a Dem can borrow elements from the Clinton playbook to plausibly coax police groups to back them. And (among other things) that just fundamentally misunderstands how openly polarized organized law enforcement has become.

The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.

Watching those training camp clips of Angel catching the pass on the perimeter and driving & finishing strong at the rim.😭

Not that anyone asked, but my basic rule-of-thumb when it comes to social media interactions is: Don't say stuff to people #onhere that you wouldn't be willing to say face to face. A whole lot of folks are entirely too comfortable talking reckless on these apps.

A lot of brain-poisoned folks are too marinated in 2016 era beef to realize that Obama doing that PR event with Mamdani is a pretty clear sign that the left is ascendant in a manner not seen in generations. (Also a reminder that Obama's political instincts are still vastly superior to his peers)

I love when people explain how the world works. Also. . . yikes

“We’re standing up to Trump by apologizing for ever using words like equity” is also weak in addition to nonsensical.

Detroit really trying to screw up my Sunday evening smh.

Yes uh, who indeed...👀

A lot of people are still in the denial about how much the median Democratic voter, the median Democratic volunteer, and the median Democratic activist has shifted on a variety of issues. Well here's the handpicked candidate of Chuck Schumer being booed, about Gaza, at the Dem convention.

The plummeting of Israel's standing among the Democratic coalition is one of those rather unique situations where different factions of the party all seem to have their own distinct reasons for being fed up with the partnership between the US & Israel.

Is anyone still in denial that Schumer has a preference for candidates who possess views wildly out of step with the base of the party

I'm so glad this brave law enforcement officer is OK after being violently smirked at. Praying for him and his family

i support whichever candidate will vow to eradicate palantir and its owners

When femicide is in the news, I find the accountability dodge coming from some BM to be especially disgusting. You can't retreat into excuses about the inherent trauma of being a Black man in America when you won't even do the bare minimum of confronting those within your own communal spaces.

The Big Apostrophe and Chennedy on the court together😭😭. This means something to me!!

Natasha Cloud not being on a roster currently is indefensible from a pure basketball perspective, and it seems increasingly obvious that she's being blackballed.

The Strokes played Coachella against a backdrop listing all the world leaders that had been assassinated by the CIA, a count of the number of universities bombed in Iran, and footage of the bombing of the last university in Gaza

"Independent bookstores make quiet comeback as big chains dominate retail" "About 422 indie bookshops opened in 2025, up 31%, defying predictions of retail consolidation"

New 'W season means I have to break it down again Favorite player: A'ja Wilson Secondary favorites: Angel Reese, Cam Brink, Sonia Citron Favorite team: Aces 2nd team: Dream Hate watch: Fever & Sky Team I'm regionally obligated to support even though I already dislike them: Portland Fire

The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.

Centrist Dems won’t shut up about how we’re too mean and condescending to Trump voters and how electoral expediency requires us to welcome them back into the fold. Maybe that’s true and maybe it’s not, but it’s bizarre not to extend the same argument to people who already vote for you.

There’s a reason Republicans don’t constantly shit on their own voters and that’s because it is an abysmal strategy for winning elections

A simmering intraparty fight that I'm endlessly fascinated by is the long running tension between Obama & Biden's respective camps. Though if we're being honest, the latter is mostly snippy because they recognize on some level that their influence is basically cooked.
