remains wild to me that Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey were on the same college basketball team and they didn’t even make the NCAA tournament.

The fact that Trump is choosing to go to an NBA finals game in NY instead of Texas is an interesting case study in narcissistic behavior.

I’m going to be trying so hard to get fired for having a great time.

This AI generated image has officially notified the world that Bosnia Herzegovina will be training in Sandy, UT which is conveniently located right next to Boise, ID.

Let’s be clear here and just say BYU fans. Jazz fans got shit loads of bad takes, but only BYU fans got the combination of stupid and $$$ to put them on billboards.

Jaxon Dart is not beating back any of my priors about the intelligence and ignorance of elite young athletes with names like Jaxon Dart.

JCPOA might be the most vindicated foreign policy of all time tbh

holy fuck I gotta go to this

I’m old enough to remember when the US Government built its own rockets that didn’t explode monthly and created the most successful space program in the history of the world. But paying private companies 10x more to do…this, is definitely more “efficient”.

When Milli Vanilli backs out of your event, just because, it’s definitely because your event is so radioactive even Milli Vanilli didn’t think it would be good for their career.

ahhhhh, so this is the much ballyhooed “Infrastructure Week” then?

They are going to string this along and then make a deal that doesn’t go into affect until 2029 and next president is going to inherit an absolute fucking mess of shit with no good options just like Biden and Afghanistan.

Trumps America 250 celebration 2026 being headlined by Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli is just so fucking on point I can’t even take it.

wooo boy, these guys are fucking terrified. You can almost smell the flop sweat and anxiety through the screen.

Swear to God, their very own Lord Jesus, this brand of “Christians” are the most deeply morally compromised people on earth. There is literally no principle or standard that cannot be modified or simply discarded in the protection of their secular American conservative culture.

Darryn Peterson said his creatine was to blame for all the weirdness at Kansas, but what do doctors say to his explanation? I talked to a number of physicians to try and get to the bottom of this:

lol. I just realized literally the only thing about my fashion that has changed since 1999 is I generally don’t leave casual collar shirts completely unbuttoned. So sure, I’ll unbutton my shirt and show off my Deftones concert tee, cargo shorts, and Vans with ankle socks for the game. Why not

Totally agree with this. Think the key is not to rush it. Make it the priority of every committee to gather testimony and evidence of corruption and wrongdoing of Trump admin officials. keep it in committee and the news for months. find out what resonates and turn it into Benghazi.

The oath of office *obligates* Dems to seek Trump's removal. Republican obstruction may be a reason why they should mostly seek to highlight Republican complicity with Trump's crimes. But it really can't justify abdicating the impeachment power altogether. www.offmessage.net/p/the-revisi...

In the era of streaming, where there is a cornucopia of podcast personalities to choose from, Radio from Hell’s longevity is not only a credit to the three co-hosts and their timeless chemistry — but to the community that has formed as a result.

Perhaps they’ll turn the White House into an aquarium too.

One would think when all available data points to a complete societal break between monetary affluence and perceptions hope and satisfaction it would lead more people to question the base American cultural and religious ethos that economic prosperity is the single most important thing in life Alas

Just doing back of the napkin math, if the straight opens when Iran gets paid $25 billion + 30 days best case we may see gas under $4.00 around labor day. Gonna be a real tough summer for the US tourism industry, methinks.

Totally get why it’s all about Brunson at this moment, because he’s the face of the Knicks and the guy getting the buckets and it’s a great story. But KAT and OG playing at MVP levels is why the Knicks dominated the Eastern Conference Playoffs. They have both been ridiculous.

The finals are going to be fun because both of the teams in the west are better than the Knicks but the Knicks believe and have turned that belief into magic and you’d have be a fool or a stats nerd to think that doesn’t matter.

“We must avoid the … the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance.” www.theverge.com/news/936945/...

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter. (Published Jan. 2025)

What helped me understand tech bro executive culture was hanging out with moderately wealthy white dudes, in all their arrogant obtuse self involved but still congenial fun to be around glory, and imagining what they would be like if their jobs were just a competition to be the biggest psychopath

Also, let’s just marinate for a minute in the hubris of a misogynist manosphere influencer pontificating about fake jobs being created to make the people doing them feel valuable for doing nothing of value.

Radiohead’s Creep was playing on the radio right when this post popped into my feed. Thank you Universe, for the wonderful gift

Interesting point here. If success, and failure, of the right wing propaganda machine is a symptom, what is the disease?

Couple things: 1) the description of the graph talks about attitudes and disagreements, not thought. 2) the graph makes no claim or distinction of factual basis of said attitudes and disagreements 3) Would be super interesting to see this overlayed with a similar map of attitudes and behavior

wait. wait wait wait…so you’re telling me the reason women are not interested in men is not actually the fault of women or society but that more men are just huge fucking losers looking for any excuse to avoid traditionally manly activities like being a gentleman and having a stable job? huh

You know what, they’re right. SpaceX is an unprofitable company who’s major achievement is being owned by the worlds richest man that doesn’t exist without government giving out billions to do shit that “capitalism” can’t or won’t do. And that actually is “capitalism at its most remarkable.”

The idea that the military would collectively defy fascism was always a pipe dream, but this: “Without a single note of public dissent” is categorically untrue bullshit There have been dozens of resignations/removals for refusing to follow orders. And the system has failed them all.

Challenge accepted

Why did Derek wake up and chose violence on this wednesday morning ? is what i’m asking myself

This is true. but the long hard work to be done if we want enduring victory is making these two things inextricably and indelibly linked in the minds of the public. forever. So as soon as Dems have the power and the microphone the story is Trumps Project 2025 gave us pointless wars and $5 gas and…

In addition to seconding the plea Dems on Bluesky try to keep their eyes and mouths on candidates they can actually vote for, this should be a top down strategy imperative for the the DNC and @democrats.org Keep every single race local. The less people think the mothership is involved the better.

this is quite possibly the most perfect and concise summation of the 2026 American economy.

James Comey, Leticia James, and every other person and org that’s had Trumps bullshit DOJ thrown out of court should apply immediately and then sue the shit out of them when they reject their claim.

Angels Appearing before the Shepherds, by Henry Ossawa Tanner, 1910

As I was saying. SECDEF spent last week doing TV interviews and political campaigns.

Pretty incredible that this administration has decided to go full Hoover “rugged individualism” for all the plebes while also doing banana republic levels of corruption. It’s almost like none of them ever had a history class. or read a book.

SECDEF political campaigning for a Republican Primary race on behalf of the President at this particular moment should probably be a bigger deal to folks.
