Lynx held a moment of silence for Alex Pretti and Renee Good ahead of the season opener at Target Center:

Why is being so expensive in the United States?

Happy Mother’s Day

Tuxedo cats are proof that life can be awesome.

this advertisement has become funnier with every single management decision

There once was a man from Nantucket Who hired me to write a jingle for his landscaping business I said how about one about your huge dong

Protesters staged noise demo through the rich Seattle neighborhood of #Laurelhurst that lobbied against noisy helicopters flying sick and injured kids over their mansions to Children's Hospital. 🤪 It got a bit noisy.

I’m already lying down butI still need to lie down more somehow

After choking out on the failed Russiagate fraud flogged by its several staff practitioners, I always ALWAYS trust the Guardian for Russia news. Thhppt. Putin is the only thing keeping a demonstration mushroom cloud from appearing in the West, as hard-liners would prefer. Stay tuned.

Happy 226th Birthday to John Brown, the only white boy to ever truly understand the assignment

What made John Brown a great man was not actually that he was a "great" man. It was that he recognized himself as a regular man that rejected white supremacy. And was willing to die for that. That when he saw another Black face, he saw a human like himself. May 9, 1800 he was born

I'm a marginally talented writer who's convinced that tech nazis hazarding nature, mental health, employment, and countless copyrighted works of art is essential to the creative process. There is no alternative.

Crony Capitalism is just Capitalism, that's how Capitalism works. You call it Crony Capitalism to support the fantasy that there's a magical "true" capitalism that doesn't murder and exploit people as a load bearing structural feature but Nope! This is it! This is the Capitalism!

"Not a space for the cynical and snide" LOL sure. Domestic elites cause massive inequality and corruption but here comes Russiagate again, which died a horrible, quiet death years ago. What a lightweight.

no billionaire ever did a fiscal chicanery and we have no idea how these rumours get started

this is really heartwarming. two men exchanging symbolic tokens of things the other has no interest in (football, peace)

Multiple women serving sentences for nonviolent crimes at the minimum security prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is now serving time were punished for speaking to reporters about the special treatment Maxwell receives. At least two women were transferred to higher security facilities as punishment.

Say a few words from an old commercial that some of us will remember: Less filling. Tastes great.

Everyday I am forced to contend with the fact that the real reason that we will never get out of this mess is because the ultimate dream of the liberal is a world of convenience in which the systems of oppression work so stealthily & effectively that they can ignore it while feeling like good people

WHat more perfect time for people with knowledge of his activities to just blurt out "HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HE'S DOING" and "HE'S A LOUSY DRUNK" and "HIS GIRLFRIEND HAS NO FUCKING TALENT AT ALL," and then the polygraph technician examining the readout says "No lies detected."

incredibly funny how the outbreak happened after the two main countries involved, the united states and argentina, completely obliterated their public health and regulatory agencies for insane kulturkampf reasons

Latinos have been a majority in Whittier for decades, but they've rarely had representation in city government — until now. A groundswell of political engagement & immigrant activism sparked by ICE raids last year has ousted 3 conservatives and elected Whittier's first ever majority-Latino council

A zionist comedically pretends that he was being attacked by a pro Palestine group in Nice, France. They will literally do anything to be seen as victims while eagerly supporting the modern-day Nazi party in Israel.

Tried to photograph a crow in the garden using the zoom on my new phone and got a rather exciting action shot

its true that i dont understand how the supreme court operates. for example do you get the free RV and house for your mom before or after issuing favorable rulings? is it a *wink wink* deal or more explicit? these are the things the general public doesnt understand

Well well well looks like those art degrees aren't so useless after all

This robot installs 80 panels/hour. One every 45 sec. 1,920/day ≈ 0.0008 GW/day per line. Sounds small. It’s not. Scale this across thousands of lines and #solar becomes manufacturing, not construction. 👉 10,000 lines = 8 GW/day. That’s HOW China is winning the energy game.

This is Wynn. She insists on her human's full attention before jumping into the water. Not gonna do anything fancy, just likes an audience. 14/10 (IG: wynn_thegolden)

he’s right, but the liberals will pitchfork him for shitting on their emotional support war criminal

If Obama had even tried to enact his campaign promises, the Republicans would have been kept out of power for a generation. His failure to do so resulted in one of the biggest electoral wipeouts in history in 2010. Obama had a chance to destroy the Republican Party and he chose not to.

This is the 82-year-old state senator the FBI just raided because she successfully redistricted Virginia to match racist Republican redistricting efforts. They targeted her because she's ruthless and effective. They don't want anyone else to play within their new rules.

Oh. Oh dear. #WhenYouSeeIt
