A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi

A new immersive exhibition called "Mind of a Serial Killer" opened today in New York City and runs through the end of June. No one will be surprised that I did not care for it, but somehow it was even worse than I expected. My latest at @flaminghydra.com:

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system

The Padres play in one of the smallest media markets in MLB! They stunk! No one was going to games! Then their beloved late owner Peter Seidler decided to start spending money and pissed off all the other small market owners by blowing up their whole fake broke scheme and now here we are!

De grote tragedie van onze tijd: de kiezer begrijpt niet (of wil niet weten) wat de échte crisis is. (En dat hij voorkomen had kunnen worden. En dat we zelfs nu nog voor de laatste kans kunnen gaan.) www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Imagine having something so awesome and working so hard to ruin it

The best way to not get screwed by CONCACAF refs and experience a soul crushingly close loss is to not be good enough to make the competition. Remember that.

Shameful way to play soccer, man.

Look at my favorite bar owner, dawg, he won a Peace Prize.

What an absolute fucking weirdo

All they have is the oil, the land above it, the waterway down which it must float, a country full of people who hate the U.S. for all the times we have done exactly what we're doing now, and an opponent who is among the dumbest people ever to walk the earth.

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

NASA is facing a roughly 1/3 budget cut for 2027 because the President and Congress like giving tax cuts to the rich more than funding the government. Notably NASA's current $24 billion annual budget is equal to only two weeks spending on the headass war on Iran. www.nasa.gov/budgets-plan...

Man, we have the same conversations every time a major story like this breaks. It’s exhausting. It is SO HARD to publish a story about gendered violence for a whole host of reasons, a main one being that victims (rightly so!) don’t want to talk.

Read this. They need to be crushed

Incredible that human beings figured out how to do this. How cool. What if we only did cool stuff

And not one word about the abhorrent and unjustified killings of Iranians.

I feel crazy. Just sitting around waiting to find out if our lunatic President is going to begin a world war for no reason. What does one do in these situations? What do I have for lunch? Do I take a Zyrtec if my eyes are watering? Moment to moment, what do I do?

A reliable metric for a losing war: notice how often a combatant describes inputs (ordinance dropped, resources committed, duration of operation) as a substitute for outputs (effects a military operation is intending to produce).

This should not be a dilemma!

This is art

I'm literally on a plane right now telling everyone in my row

800,000 people who died because of the lack of lifesaving food and medical aid were unavailable for comment.

Spending some time in the destroyed part of Portland today. Not sure how they manage to put up a market in the smoldering ruins. Kudos to the fight. The Park Blocks at Portland State are so fabulous 🤌🏼 #PortlandStrong #PDX

It really sucks that so much air in women’s college ball is being sucked up by this man. He instigated it. He walked off the court without acknowledging SC’s team. He said his shit. He released his half-ass apology. UGH! And we are getting a national champ game tomorrow coached by 2 women! !!

This is just so unbelievably fucking cool

Doesn't mention Dawn Staley at all. This is dogshit. Geno is a petty bitch and not a leader. Doesn't have respect for anyone

Watching Stuttgart get insanely frustrated for 94 minutes because they couldn’t do shit then lose their minds when they choke it away and give up a pair actually made the last two hours of boredom totally worth it

Winning a very meh game 2-0 after it was a very deserved 0-0 for 94 minutes, no one does it* better than Dortmund *Fraud

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Iran has elections, but to its great shame, it has an unaccountable council of ayatollahs that overrules the elected representatives. Here’s why we’re nullifying the Voting Rights Act. by John Roberts

Love it when my 2nd place team goes on the road and plays like a well-organized relegation side that is thrilled with any result

Executive orders aren’t laws and they definitely don’t impact private entities like the NCAA and they also don’t overturn legal precedents already settled in court C’mon. We don’t have to pretend this thing matters.

the reporting on this remains absolutely embarrassing

It’s a real problem that our elite institutions are just much stupider now than they used to be

I had to come here to verify that the headline making the rounds was legit. Dear god.

Can you imagine how many people approved it before publishing? Shameful.

Because I grew up awash in evangelicalism, I’m still always surprised when someone *doesn’t* know that a massive proportion of evangelicals believe Catholicism is a heretical cult.

Everyone in this administration never met a stupid idea they didn’t love

The means-testing thing is so pernicious man. Designed in a lab to sow resentment, degrade the public good, shrink services and transfer costs away from government coffers and to individuals’ post-tax income

The party of fiscal responsibility

holy smokes

please turn this sound 🔊UP🔊, especially if you at work with no headphones

lol what

When you have senior white male military officers willing to end their career by raising concerns about the blocking of Black and female officers, it feels safe to say this isn't about ending DEI: the better historical parallel is Wilson's resegregation of the bureaucracy bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

1. This man is from Akron 2. He did his MLK Day capitalism by saying Memphis had deep civil rights meaning 3. At its core, this is about believing the only cities and communities that deserve professional basketball are those rich people want to hang out in

The MAGA project is in a very real sense about undoing the 14th Amendment. newrepublic.com/article/2084...
