Welp news of Hegseth’s big meeting next week has got me hoping there are a lot of real Jiggs Caseys out there.

Somebody should write a book where they get the oral history of everyone who was in the London Symphony Orchestra in March 1977 to record the music for Star Wars. Probably there aren't many left. But I'd love to hear from someone who sat down to play that music for the first time.

Ainda Estou Aqui (I’m Still Here) is an amazing and beautiful movie that I urge everyone to watch.

We are an exceptionally wealthy country in the Americas, not an unusually diverse, unequal, and violent presidentialist country in Europe

The strongest brand loyalty I have ever held in my life (and may EVER hold) is to CMYK Games. They make a thing, I buy it. Simple as.

Welp one thing is for sure, Ezra Klein just torpedoed his chances of getting any more people to the left of him on board with Abundance. Separate issues, I know, but all we do is attack the messenger these days.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

plenty of things going against the right globally: Bolsonaro's conviction in Brazil, the defeat of the right wing in Norway's election, the student strikes and Saba Saba protests in Kenya (brutal as the repression there was), the EU's von der Leyen pursuing sanctions and trade suspension for Israel

The Knick. A thousand times The Knick.

Some good news for a change

2nd best. First best has gotta be the joke in the movie “The Big Sick.”

Truly one of the worst renditions of the Star Spangled Banner I’ve ever heard. #usmnt

That it's okay to ruin someone's life from a computer because everyone has become too conflict-averse to enforce social norms and mores in person is not an acceptable social position

If you told me right after the loss to Belgium in 2014 that the usmnt was gonna be all downhill for the next 10+ years I would never have believed it.

Why does the announcer pronounce it “Mauritsio” Pochettino?

@jonfavs.bsky.social @jonlovett.bsky.social @danpfeiffer.bsky.social I cannot believe that all four of you do not know what “Biggus Dickus” is a reference to.

every day i see hundreds of comments of people spinning elaborate scenarios to explain how trump can control everything and all opposition is futile. a) i think a lot of you need to log off and stop following professional doomsayers. b) i think a lot of you are cowards

The Apple announcers totally botched stating what the Rapids subs were.

It’s gonna be one of those nights #rapids96

Why yes, I think I do want to watch Boromir and Bill the Butcher yell at each other in a hut. youtu.be/HVqoyMi98OI?...

This is one of the more insane things I’ve seen on the Internet.

I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.

Farthest I’ve been: N: Derry, N. Ireland E: Jambiani, Zanzibar, Tanzania W: Honolulu Airport S: San Telmo, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Subaru Forester of dinosaurs if you will.

I’m at the science museum. Allosaurus always struck me as a sensible, midsized carnivore. A good all around choice.

If KSE can’t make the @coloradorapidssc.bsky.social a club where players like Awaziem and Mihailovic want to play, they should sell the club to someone who can.

Ex-farm worker here. We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing. Not true AT ALL. Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are. The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour. At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Amen. I teach at what I affectionately call a “regular-ass college” and we make a huge impact on our students and our region. My best students would excel at any elite school, but we are what’s local and affordable.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

Since millennials are on here reminiscing about the bad old days of the run up to the Iraq War, I simply must recommend the very best piece of art about that time: Armando Ianuccui’s “In the Loop.”

I’m in a doctor’s office waiting room. It is 71 minutes past my appointment time. I hope I get a text asking me to rate my visit.

@bymattpollard.bsky.social Matt, I love you, but this is in fact season 30 of MLS right now.

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

I gotta go with The Blues Brothers. I miss you, dad.

Oh man, this is nuts reporting. “Federal agents came to suspect that Bukele…had diverted U.S. aid funds to the gang as part of the alleged deal to provide it with money and power in exchange for votes…”

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? (I feel pretty good about my chances.)

Man I wish the Rapids would quit upgrading the shot and just take the shot, damn.

It is impossible to prepare for guests to arrive in a way that your dogs don’t notice and then become all wound up.

A lot of y’all’s brains are cooked from arguing with people on social media. “Liberals” are not a bigger threat to you than right-wingers, they just yelled at you on social media more. “Leftists” are not a bigger threat to you than right-wingers, they just yelled at you on social media more.

At least 27 are dead in Missouri in Kentucky after severe weather alerts were delayed overnight because of DOGE cuts. www.mesoscalenews.com/p/tornado-wa...

This season of “Andor” is excellent. One thing I haven’t seen anyone commenting on is that I think it borrows a lot of ideas and aesthetics from Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil” to excellent effect.

Amen brother.

One great thing about ANDOR is all the soy Republicans who love to complain about Star Wars being too woke have absolutely nothing to say about this show because it is leagues above their mental pay grade. They do not have the vocabulary to engage with any of the points it makes

Name a movie you’ve seen more than six times, no Star Wars or LotR

#slashtag @jeffcannata.bsky.social yeah man let me be another in the chorus saying you have to watch Deadwood. It’s got everything you love.

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left. YALL, THE TITLE!!

Former Missouri Congressman Billy Long received $137K in campaign contributions — just enough to pay off a personal loan to his campaign — soon after he was tapped to lead the IRS. Some of the donations are connected to companies policed by the agency Long has been nominated to run. #moleg #mogov
