I try not to lean on hopeful fantasy, but this paired with my belief that the US never legally annexed Hawaii and it would be in its full right to return to a sovereign kingdom has me rooting for a certain outcome somewhere down the road

Carlos Rodon This Season: 203 K, 132 H Rodon is the 1st pitcher in Yankees history to have a season with at least 200 K and fewer than 140 hits allowed.

Customer: NORTH AMERICA MOTORSPORTS CHAPTER 22 GROUP A DMV: ASSMAN BACKWARDS Verdict: DENIED

I had successfully avoided non-direct flights for ~7 years until today, so of course our second leg back to LA was just delayed 2 hours. The lounge in our terminal closes 90 minutes before we can even board. Kill me?

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them. The current climate is especially accelerating this. Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves. Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

We stopped at a Vermont True Value yesterday for some emergency umbrellas and it reminded me of this wonderful (terrible) fact that I bring up as an anecdote often. True Value existed as a co-op from 1948 through 2018, 70 years. In 2018 it was bought by private equity. It was bankrupt by 2024.

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

Third Stepdad In Row Has Goatee

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

I've decided that the two things that will most fix my mental health are (1) finishing the edit on my current WIP and (2) memorizing all of Rock Me Amadeus phonetically in German for a karaoke party trick

Colin Kaepernick is funding an independent second autopsy for Trey Reed, the Black student found hanging from a tree at Delta State University, after the Mississippi State Medical Examiner ruled the death a suicide. buff.ly/i9CsjMK

Ken will lead the revolution

Going back to Upstate NY is always an emotionally fraught experience because of *~*reasons*~*, but this time I've got the added anxiety of "policing the visibility of my interracial gay partnership" that America in 2025 necessitates

The warning bells are more of a constant warning hum at this point. Selfishly, I'll probably benefit from another 2008/2009 foreclosure wave, but it'd be even better to live in a country that didn't prop up a system where this continues to happen!

Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT. I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

Professor Nash started full time at Cardozo after I graduated, but she seems like someone I would've loved to have taken a class from, and I always appreciate seeing our school quoted in important work like this @theintercept.com article:

After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @magnumicecreamco.bsky.social #FreeBenAndJerrys

“Go Birds, F*** ICE and Free Palestine” - Hannah Einbinder during her #EMMYs speech

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul endorses NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/o...

Not shocking to see a New York team down 6-0 early in their game on a Sunday, but unfortunate to see it be a baseball team

Megan Stalter of “Hacks” stepped out onto the Emmy’s red carpet wearing a simple white t-shirt, jeans and a red lip. Stalter also affixed a piece of paper reading “CEASEFIRE!” to her bag. Follow updates. nyti.ms/46C2oFI

Somewhere @mikegolicjr.bsky.social began levitating and he didn't know why

A lot of people have been calling me the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social of Seattle. But where Zohran is charismatic, telegenic and stylish, I've spent my whole adult life looking pretty dumpy. To look more mayoral, I enlisted my friend Andrew Ashiofu, who took me to one of Seattle's premier boutiques.

“I was kidnapped. The conditions are inhumane. Packed like sardines. A man dropped dead and they just moved us aside… It’s not just criminals. I had all my papers in order. They’re just looking for numbers.” Watch. Share.

Insurrections occur in waves; the unrest in Indonesia has spread to Nepal. Whatever happens next, this revolt should give pause to politicians and police who imagine that they can pillage and terrorize with impunity. Today, money may insulate you from the consequences of your actions; but tomorrow?

A perfect afternoon in Astoria.

The over/under on the Oregon game was 55.5; It's currently 41-3 going into halftime #goducks

Searching "Oregon" on here is currently a stream of Ducks fans clowning on Gundy, Beavers fans white-knuckling their game, and calls for a CA/OR/WA secession, and y'know what? That's a vibe

Mike Gundy thinking "if you adjust for the NIL budget, us being down 13-0 after 90 seconds is actually us winning"

WE GOT A THICC SIX FOR TEXAS TECH WITH @mikegolicjr.bsky.social ON THE CALL

JUSTIÑHO

Ok its ‘feed it off an aux, speak, grunt no strength, the ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height, wire in a fire representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site’.

Why does Hassett sound like a Mark Proksch character with a gun to his head?

Very glad we got Kenny and Dolly a bigger bed

I got hit with the "you've been away for a while" a couple weeks ago and I wanted to say "yeah bro I was dissociating due to the terrors" but instead said "sorry, had to step out for a bit". Also I'm the only west coast employee and this was at 4pm my time so they were policing status at night

The real strength of @nomads.bsky.social will be tested by how we handle the oncoming normie wave. I have faith that there is space and support in the Khanate for all of them

A recession indicator that I haven't seen discussed: Amazon launched an in-app Temu knockoff called Haul

If I took his name off my mute list and nothing happens I'll be mad

Other than going to local shows my drag fandom has sort of ebbed recently, but Maddy's show has stayed as a must watch. Also sleeping bag gown is still my #1 design challenge in drag race history

(aborted manager in heaven) I would have loved to touch base with you…

Just had to sit in LA traffic for an hour pre-concert and I have to imagine it was less painful than watching the Yankees offense tonight. Dragging my partner to his I think 3rd DMB show? (#35 for me)

It turns out that in addition to weight loss and better complete nutrition, my "Huel for ~75% of my weekly calories" is also correctly risk-averse in light of our current hellscape (the uniformity/predictability/ease also soothes my slightly spectrum-y brain)

Very into this

It's very funny that I've been to the Greek twice this month, first for Primus and now for Tennis, meaning the crowd went from very crusty but lovely folks to (and again, saying this lovingly) genderqueer librarians
