I love a normal story

Gavin Newsom is spiritually bald

today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

my god man what a fucking book

really, really enjoying Mike Carey’s ONCE WAS WILLEM, a book that occupies the heretofore unexamined territory (at least, by me) midway between Christopher Buehlman and John Wiswell

Death To America (baseball version)

Kamala Harris promised "the most lethal military" in the world and said Iran was our greatest threat. After Israel struck Iran, Tim Walz said that we need "expand Israel and its proxies" in the VP debate. Schumer and Jeffries just worked to delay a war resolutions vote until after these strikes.

they are wow. they're all there. right now in the same place, which is Mar-a-Lago. all gathered together

all the the mighty and morally superior “West” knows how to do anymore is murder children

are we, though

damn, rest in…something, Dan Simmons. Hyperion was good as hell. sorry your brain melted into a racist slurry somewhere since

Lenin lays out that super-monopoly is the inevitable end result of capitalism, and this acquisition by Paramount of Warner Brothers brings us to a media landscape almost totally dominated by two major players, one rabidly fascist, the other a corporation disinterested in art.

Trade Offer You receive: 2000 bucks and watching a horrible person go to jail I receive: the same???

my favorite fantasy duology is the Fierentine Mosaic

wait THIS is why people are talking about sea lions? go shit in the ocean you tinfoil chewing ghoul

people think these tariffs are all just a joke, but don't forget this is how The Phantom Menace started

Grok is doxing a porn performer, after she spent years keeping this information private. Disgusting, abusive, deliberately harmful little product Elon's got there www.404media.co/grok-doxing-...

let’s party like it’s 1649

He had a joke in his stump speeches about how, if he were to walk on water, the headlines the next day would read “Jesse Jackson Can’t Swim”

Like it or not, Newsom is the favorite to win the 2016 nomination.

sitting with this some more. it’s hard to compare to the giant battle episodes with such a different scale, but I think the way they narrowed the action entirely to Dunk’s experience made that a strength. even more intimate experience of violence than GoT’s best single combats.

also really appreciate the continuity that no matter what year it is in King’s Landing, the gold cloaks are the dirt fucking worst

best fight scene televised Westeros has ever done, I think

this quoted post is uninformed nonsense. policy changes towards trans people have been profound at both the state and federal level. the EEOC won’t even process charges of trans discrimination right now for fucks sake.

I just brought my 18 year old to go vote for the first time and we both proudly voted for Gavin Newsom! It was a poll on who should eat a big platter of horse shit on live tv.

rotates between Aya Cash, Aisha Tyler, Sam Rockwell and Margaret Cho depending on who’s currently got something going. dark horse Sal Santana

things have not changed here. please, if you’re not in minnesota, do not look away. please prepare where you are. this is what they’ll do to your community next.

i really think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibility that mom has really gotten their nose. what if their nose is gone. what if that's the tip of their nose peeking out from between mom's fingers. what then

in general it is very funny to see any american talk about "the left." what fucking institutional left. what are you talking about

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

jesus, Isaiah Stewart got in another fight? And he wasn’t even on the floor? I hope he [sees who he fought] is cleared of all wrongdoing but we know that won’t happen in Adam Silver’s CORRUPT NBA

*new* from me: As pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, three front office staffers spoke to me about helping Latino baseball players and their families navigate an America ravaged by ICE raids. They say guidance from MLB has been “minimal” so their teams are getting creative.

no eres mis casa bonita no eres mis esposa bonita

All these ads about gen AI right now totally remind me of that one Super Bowl where every ad was an NFT ad and then two months later, all the apes were gone. But this isn’t like that because the AI bubble will never burst!

Never Forget

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

for those keeping track the Warriors have now turned the #2 overall pick, #7 overall pick, two additional late firsts, and Jordan Poole coming off a breakout playoffs into 7’3 chronically ill Anthony Morrow and the eternal shame of Chris Paul’s having worn a Warriors jersey

huh, I’m not

the AEW women’s division since Stat became champion is basically history’s most violent game of Gay Chicken

highlight of this to me: the two teens in “choose kindness always” and “kill your local pedophile” hoodies, side by side getting this bozo out of here

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Neil Gaiman has returned to the Internet to signal boost a Substack 'investigation' by an independent journalist known as "technopathology" which apparently proves his innocence the main thing it proves is technopathology needs an editor.

I didn’t spend nearly enough time with Beau, and that isn’t just the hindsight of tragedy talking; every time we hung out I came away thinking “man I need to hang out with Beau more.” One of the great parts of the Mariners’ run last season was an excuse to talk with him regularly.

Seattle had a terrible and unexpected loss this weekend. If you have a little spare cash, please consider helping out Beau’s family. www.gofundme.com/f/help-beaus...

Bear’s really very good at this. both the “craft of writing” part and the “having to wake up every goddamn day in the real world in order to start writing” part

okay so the good news is, nobody is talking about all that plagiarism I did anymore

on hold with my bank and one of the hold messages warns of “impostors trying to deceive you.” again my good and faithful counselor speaks wisdom. send this magician and his ragged companions hence, i will not hear their lies

Lots of very young people gassed very heavily. Families, people on mobility devices, choking clouds of CS for blocks
