One of the things I’m really struggling with about what’s going on in Minnesota is that if you describe what’s going on in plain, factual ways to someone who’s not paying close attention you sound completely, bugfuck crazy

adopting a negotiating posture of “we’re not trading this guy cause he’s fuckin mid and nobody wants him.” things are going great in Chase Center

I don’t actually like basketball

when you’re a very serious writer of thought-provoking, challenging speculative fiction

thinking about the pope pacing back and forth in his apartment at 3:30 am yelling at the tv

i contain multitudes but one of the multitudes is “i do not want to see the bad posts”

RFK Jr is doing a modern-day Tuskegee study, where by he uses taxpayer money to intentionality infect African children with Hepatitis B and deny them treatment. You know, just to see what happens newrepublic.com/post/205330/...

he did it he made his brand worse. we didn't think it was possible but he did it.

They have fucking assault rifles and we have whistles and they’re scared shitless, because they know we’d rather be righteous and dead than ever be them.

Erika Kirk seen fucking Dogbert

greatest steam update of all time, because of one unnecessary detail

living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be

really struck by this from the latest Trashfuture - the sort of clarification that comes with being personally anathema to reactionary forces. the experience November describes is distinct to trans people; the concept, i think, can be universal and maybe it’ll have to be.

It's literally "We have created the Black Mirror from popular program DON'T CREATE THE BLACK MIRROR"

Oso just sprinted halfway across the house to bounce off the arm of the couch, dropkick me in the fucking chest, and run away

I don’t think they’re misreading them so much as they are terrified of the implications because it means the status quo has to break. there’s no incrementalism for this. mass radicalization of this scale scares Democrats more than anything Republicans could do and I mean that literally.

I’ve been higher on Zach Lavine than consensus for most of his career but right now that man is as checked out as a professional athlete can be without being Anthony Rendon

refs aren’t calling anything in kings-warriors. not particularly good or bad for either side, just seems like a very unpleasant experience for everyone except Dennis Schroder, who would love to foul some guys in warriors jerseys

settings -> content and media -> autoplay videos and gifs checkbox/toggle, if you don't want to be ambushed by fascist snuff films

“Ja Morant to the Kings” is alarmingly and hilariously plausible

every JD Vance tweet is written in the absolute worst millennial way possible with none of the basic underlying humanity, they're all like: Hi. Vice President here. You think Somalis are eligible for driver's licenses? Okay, uhh, you might wanna take se-vuh-ral seats 🧵:

A lot of people are mad at this “durrr America is older than Israel durrr” but the whole point is that it’s a dialectical relationship that feeds back and forth, and most importantly the IDF *has innovated* in modern counterinsurgency and digital warfare which gets cross trained back at US police

the decaying pedophile’s domestic Freikorps and Latin American kidnap squads haven’t done ANYTHING about the price of eggs

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

I don’t expect to ever get a Hugo nomination, little yet a win. But I suspect that if I do get one it’ll be this year, for Cuddled Little Vice, and I’d be lying if I said that wouldn’t make me an extremely happy little nerd. www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/the-cud...

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Someone who claims to have witnessed the incident says - car was blocking ice - they told them to move - "something happened' - ICE shot into the car as it was driving away - passenger got out of the car covered away and said friend was dead There is video and I have seen it

Steph Curry Finally Finishes Eating Mouthguard

Pizza is mid

without spending too much time digging, the 2025 reads* most firmly lodged in my brain: SIEGE OF BURNING GRASS, Premee Mohamed BETWEEN TWO FIRES, Christopher Buehlman METAL FROM HEAVEN, August Clarke SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS, Vajra Chandrasekera LAST EXIT, Max Gladstone

finally signed up for storygraph so I can actually keep track of what I read in a given year. Might even get wild with it and try to backfill my 2025 reads so I can dole out some due praise

salute to one of the all-time baseball weirdos. a first ballot entrant to the Hall of You Had To Have Been There

when I was a kid I “invented” a speed-reading method where you just read the title of the book and guess the contents. I never did anything with it, but now I’m worried I wrote it down or something and it got discovered because that’s what they’re, like, rebuilding the whole world around

Really, a remarkable statement from Colombia’s President.

"Yeah, Brad's got that dog in him. This is the GoFundMe for the surgery to remove it."

I think it’s likely steph retires with a good bit left in the tank but he could keep on having quarters like this until his late 40s

the sum of my emotional investment in football is “I wish the Niners had managed to stop my neighbors from setting off leftover fireworks and freaking out my cat”

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

We cannot stop an illegal war against Venezuela

I'll spell it out: Offering that Maduro is bad but the strikes and kidnappings violated legal procedure, is discursively like closing the back door to Trump while opening the front door. You concede the moral case, and offer a legal one that nobody without a lanyard knows of or gives a shit about.

*tapping the sign*

The norms violations are bad, but the militant imperialism... the militant imperialism is good.

when im forging the thesis: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! when it inevitably incubates the antithesis: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

bean the cat is going into ketoacidosis and we’re taking her to an emergency vet. if you have any bucks you might be able to spare, my venmo is @lillianboydwrites. thank you i love you

lol. man. a lot of teams, among them the Giants, are going to look very stupid if Imai is even like a solid mid-rotation arm
