NC State football checked the McLeod to Hurricanes rumors and then acted like they’ll be the only sport I can acknowledge in October no matter how they did.

Legitimately shocked that Sinclair backed off so quickly, given everything I know about Sinclair.

Everybody who reached out to Sinclair's advertisers this week: you did this. Boycotts work.

I hate exercise and I hate being hot. But holy fuck, I started using the pool at the gym and then taking a sauna afterwards and I feel like I've unlocked the secrets of the universe.

We have a white supremacist gestapo with complete immunity in our country now.

Anyway, a great reminder that anyone who can afford to own a major professional sports franchise is probably a piece of shit no matter what kind of improvements followed their purchase of your favorite one.

So, anyone remember a video last season or the one before where they all joked about who they’d least want to date their sister? I want to bring that one up and then say imagine this but a teammate accused of SA on the team.

I can't stop thinking about the Riyadh Comedy Festival. A Saudi prince watching Whitney Cummings and being like, "That is what dating on the apps is like. She nailed it"

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

“Right wing terrorism” plummeted after being renamed “official government policy.” There is no definitive explanation for this.

If they were real, wouldn’t the bullets say “fuck ice”’

Remember when Comey thought it was so important that Trump get elected he ignored every rule about elections and announcements to blow the lid off of John Podesta's Risotto recipe?

The kids will save us if they don't all die of gunshots and preventable diseases.

I don't know if this is more embarrassing than Trump's sharpie map, but it's infinitely more dangerous because they will use this horseshit to target protesters as "violent."

What was incredible to me about this press conference is that nowhere did anyone mention that the victims were all detainees. Even if it turns out the suspect intended to target ICE employees, which we still don’t know is true, doesn’t that seem like important information?

This thread is the most sensible take I've seen so far. And while ppl dunked on the original survey, it points to what we have known (or should have known) for years: leftists do not have a policy problem, they have a messaging problem.

I watched the Kimmel monologue, and it might be the first one I've ever watched. I've found Kimmel's career interesting in terms of how he got from The Man Show to where he is now vs. the arc his dipshit Man Show cohost took by refusing to evolve even slightly.

“The reality MAGA will not acknowledge is this: Trump’s authoritarian tactics in suppression of disfavored speech are themselves triggering a massive cultural outcry.”

I truly hate this both sides shit where things are framed that mildly prominent BlueSky posters have the same sway as the entire apparatus of the Republican Fucking Party.

16. That we know about. This is state-sanctioned murder. It is race-driven state-sanctioned murder. What the fuck are we doing here, gang? Why am I not rioting?

"I voted for it because it doesn't actually do anything" is a pretty good encapsulation of Jeffries's recent politics

The BEST CASE scenario is that ICE is being run by incompetent dumbasses. Best. Case.

I legitimately don't know if he's blatantly lying to the UN or if his people have been feeding him fake poll numbers every morning so he'll do more fascism for them.

They! Have! No! Values!

It's unusable. I just tried this and got to a post from a band I purposefully followed in 24. At 32, I finally got to a reel shared by someone I'm friends with. At 44, I FINALLY got an original post from a friend. Is today the day I finally get rid of Meta? (probably not)

The MAGA platform now includes taking pain relief away from pregnant women

Republicans in 2010: THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NEVER GET BETWEEN YOU AND A DOCTOR Republicans in 2025: THIS MAN WHOSE BRAIN HAS BEEN EATEN BY A WORM IS GOING TO DECIDE WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU NO MATTER WHAT A DOCTOR SAYS

I'd just like to say fuck these grifters for stigmatizing autism and then grifting off of having a solution to a problem they imagined.

I refuse to be told by a guy who has suggested all neurodivergent Individuals should be institutionalised, and another whose brain was eaten by a worm, that my being autistic is the problem, or a crisis. Autistic individuals aren't the problem, the way we are treated and minimised damn sure is.

I’m beginning to come to the conclusion that Biden sincerely believed his mere presence would fix everything.

Disney: over the last 72 hours we were shocked to discover that censorship isn’t cool.

Pressure works! Stand up against bullies.

This is one of those things where-- down the line-- when you try to explain to someone who "isn't political" how shit keeps happening, their eyes will just glaze over until they can talk about how "both sides" something something and I fucking hate it here.

Y'all. I did not leave twitter to be reminded that Shaun King is still out there grifting away.

All of these are inferior to my proposed Massachusetts flag:

How do you tone down from "tepid observation"?

Oooh, an alert saying a band I really like has an upcoming show locally! ...as part of a festival. Ugh, no thanks. And this is life at 46.

Trump trying to send a DM to Pam Bondi but actually posting it on TruthSocial instead raises new questions about Joe Biden's mental acuity.

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

People are getting after the folks crashing Grindr while attending the big fascism rally, but it honestly breaks my heart. That's so many people whose hatefulness comes at least in part from having had to swallow who they are. People so miserable they can only see the misery of others as a way out.

Well gang, it looks like Caleb Williams is elite and the Bears are winning the Super Bowl. Overreacting is more fun when the games are going well.

sometimes you see something so evangelical that it takes your breath away

Your tax dollars are funding full-on cruelty.

the whole point of popularism is that you have to pick policies that are actually popular, like being pro-choice!

Pundit brain will kill us all.

It’s weird for this crowd to be accusing Daniel Garcia of selling out when he can’t get out of the pre-show. 🤼‍♂️

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Hey NC folks, did Josh ever do one of these for governor?
