Watching Brazil, South Korea and Hungary get rid of their authoritarians

goddamn. losing BC and not signing Nai is a huge bummer

Can we at least get a re-sign announcement on Phee or KMac, I’m getting crabby over here

Minnesota Lynx sign one (1) player challenge

these motherfuckers said it would splashdown at 8:07 and it splashed down at 8:07. after going to the fucking moon. fucking a man. god damn

*laughs nervously in Lynx* hey Cheryl, girl, you got this, right? Right?? Right???

wnba free agency…

I must be extra fragile today, because this made me tear up. I’m sure she’s getting a starting job somewhere and she deserves it, but I’m devastated.

This is actually nasty as hell to read during Passover. I’ve been thinking all week about g-d chastising the angels for cheering the death of Egyptians in the Red Sea. Anyone who hates Palestinians more than they love Jews is not my people. Anyone who can forgive a Hitler fanboy is not my people.

The fact that this piece's subheadline starts with "I don’t think the rapper is antisemitic" is absolutely wild. Like... the man paid millions of dollars for a Super Bowl ad a couple years ago to sell merch with swastikas on it. And he said, "I am a Nazi." And he released a pro-Hitler song.

If Nneka does join Phee and Cheryl on the Lynx… Cathy Engelbert’s worst nightmare, we are not getting one single kind whistle from the refs this season lmao

Man, at least Caligula built public works. Our insane emperor does nothing of value.

My entire adult life has been spent watching Republican administrations torch and loot the economy with deregulation and tax cuts for the rich while starting strategically incoherent wars of choice in the middle east. And yet people keep putting these assholes in power.

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Losing contact with the Earth for 40 minutes sounds ideal

🚀 The crew of Artemis Il are now the farthest from Earth any human has ever travelled!

I think one of the things about bluesky is that for a lot of its users, it represents a kind of retirement from social media. Like I’m tired and I want to get out of the game

in honor of holy week, here’s the objective best tumblr post

To our trans and non-binary Minnesotans: we see you, we value you, and we love you. Minnesota will continue to fight for love over hate every step of the way.

Insurgency is when you fire off sophisticated ballistic missiles but Islamically

Happening now: a small protest at O'Hare is marching through terminal 1 this evening outside Chicago. ICE agents have been spotted inside the airport all week. Folks chanting, "ICE out of O'Hare! ICE out of everywhere!"

jokes on him—all my friends are passing the same ten rumpled dollars back and forth, we will never have to touch this

Philip Pullman: ...the daemons, see, they reflect what it is to have some deep, essential self, a person you must learn to love to be your best, truest self, no matter how painful. His editor: I see. And the... armored bears? Pullman: Oh, those are just cool.

Ppl in Minneapolis the last 3 months: im at the government occupation. I’m at the personal crisis. I’m at the government occupation/personal crisis therapy appointment

Two beliefs I hold concurrently are that the Hobbit movies should have been _at most_ two films, and the ideal medium to adapt The Hobbit in is the TV miniseries, where it should be between 15 and 20 episodes and, thus, much longer than two films.

To be very fucking honest:

Breaking: The state of Minnesota has sued the Trump admin for access to investigation materials regarding the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The new goal of the war is to undo the fuckup we caused by starting the war, American century of humiliation in full effect

you know what, even beyond the obvious heightening of harassment--we in Minneapolis know how bad these fucks are at handling and securing their firearms, and I personally think that having nervous paramilitary cosplayers who can be easily disarmed in densely crowded settings is a bad idea!!

TSA already sucks for queer people, specifically trans people, and it’s about to get worse. Renee Good’s murder was a hate crime. Whiteness didn’t protect her from homophobia. ICE in airports will make flying a super scary and dangerous activity for 80% of people I care about. I’m so fucking tired.

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

Federal agents used cell phone data to place her near the protest (she was picking something up nearby), compared her d.l. photo to footage from the demonstration and concluded she resembled a participant and, 6 weeks later, stopped her car, cuffed and detained her for hours in a federal building.

is that good

Listen this is the god’s honest truth!

In Minnesota, we’ve seen the federal government at its worst -- and showed the world how to fight back. Now, I'm honored that the flagship No Kings protest will be held here in the Twin Cities. Together, we'll show Donald Trump that we don't do kings.

In remembrance of the best TV episode title drop of all time, and in recognition of Karl Urban for playing not just Caesar but also Cupid, Jacob (from the bible), and a caveman, all on the same show. Absolute legend.

will the Chinese-speaking galaxy have any Chinese people in it this time, or

We as a society need to start accepting the fact that Firefly wasn't actually good, it just had Potential. The fanfic you wrote in your brain about it was good. That's it.

there’s no explanation but i assume trump take buffy

the tax software emailing me: file! now! me, a person whose state has been cut off from federal funding & violently invaded using the financial fruits of my own labor: go! fuck! yourself!

I don’t fully agree! Art (or rather entertainment, which is what I’m talking about in my newsletter — and not all of it aspires to art) CAN be a mirror, though not always But it’s worth asking ~what~ it’s mirroring back. Whose ideas about the world is it mirroring … and to what end?

A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.

[Jeff Probst voice] if anyone has the magic “bread multiplier” spell and wants to use it, now would be the time to do so

This is one of the things that really shows how shortsighted Frey's decision is. Landlords rarely get paid when they evict someone, even in the long run. In MN, you can't collect rent on an eviction judgment; you need to sue separately. And most rent assistance won't pay arrears for prior residences

god, this guy sucks. we need to start booing him in the streets again like it’s 2020.

MPD's "duty to intervene" is meaningless when his police force worked through the last few months without a single intervention. He should just acknowledge there was no amount of lawlessness federal agents could've done that would have triggered an intervention.

The way this man’s voice is shaking is so familiar to me—it’s the nervousness of every person in Minneapolis who has confronted this violent machine, afraid yet determined. Huge kudos to this person for asking what we’re ALL asking—why are average citizens protecting the city while cops sit it out?

It’s the people in the background facepalming and smiling in knowing disbelief.
