A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Sheryl Crow’s 1993 hit “All I Wanna Do” but instead of “fun” it’s “shrimp”

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

@actualnames.bsky.social I was doing some genealogical research and discovered this gem. He’s a great great great (great?) uncle

The duality of man

I enjoy the newer iterations of the grinch where they give his origin story but the original is still the best. It’s awesome how he’s just a hermit who randomly hates Christmas so much he resorts to home invasion to prevent it from happening.

Never fight uphill me boys, never fight uphill

It’s Friday you guys

I’m here for 5 if anyone’s running low…

if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

a good arbiter of how close we are to bad hybrid regime shit is if the political comedy shows start getting pulled for whatever reason

And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas

the gerrymandering wars stuff is probably the first time I've really felt legitimately like it all might fall apart. like this is an actual point of no return they're pushing us towards. it's the ruling party declaring they won't allow themselves to lose elections, voters be fucked.

@fallofcivspod.bsky.social I just finished the Egypt episode, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Well done. I couldn’t help but notice that you failed to credit your feline contributors when crediting your voice actors. Please fix this grievous error

Me to my 37 year old wife before her birthday tomorrow: “let’s make 38 special”

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

Man this shit really fucks

Imagine this version DHS Secretary AOC: “We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate Birmingham,AL from the regressive conservatives and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city.”

What’s your next move

Hey, Chicago 😍

Cade Horton records his first Major League strikeout! 👏

You would be clugging a few cans too if you had MY wife

Days like this call for a cold one. Anyone else?

1/4. Ukraine has proposed a ceasefire without conditions. Russia will almost certainly reject this and try to dictate to Witkoff that the US help Russia achieve colonial control of Ukraine, something that Russia could never achieve on its own.

🧵 I want to follow up this earlier thread by examining why the USA finds itself in the state it does at the moment; the process of disordered discourse capturing state institutions and how it inevitably results in a slide towards authoritarianism, a process we're seeing unfold before our very eyes.

Smoke em if you got em

Just got done with some 1 v 1 duck duck goose with my 2yo. It really takes a lot of the surprise out of the game but it is action PACKED

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

Chris Fowler looks like he could grow one HELL of a mustache. I’m talking luscious

This Winter Classic looks amazing and I bet the bleachers at Wrigley are bumpin. These are prime beer snake conditions

Carson Hansen is the Rex Burkhead of Cam Skattebos. Can’t lose the white running back battle and expect to win.

If the Assad regime falls and Iowa State wins the Big 12 title it’s gonna be a really big Saturday for me. Stay tuned

After a few days getting the lay of the land here I went ahead and deactivated twitter. Feelsgoodman
