Checking in on the Florida Panthers tonight

Great thread here

Alt text, because one would think folks would want news about a general strike to go as far as it can.

Here's a good way y'all can help trans immigrant youth in the cities: Troop 350064 is a trans immigrant group of Girl Scouts in the Twin Cities who cannot safely do cookie booths this year. digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/troop3... Order them for *shipping* not hand delivery.

Today, I learned that Maryland had to keep laws on the books forbidding inoculation with ACTUAL SMALLPOX (instead of vaccination with the much, much safer cowpox) until 1850. There was one doctor in the state who refused to update his practices and kept starting smallpox outbreaks. Good gravy.

Trump flips off a Ford employee after being called a “pedophile protector.” Thin-skinned and profoundly unpresidential.

The worker, identified as TJ Sabula in the Washington Post, said “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The article appears to be partly paywalled and I would encourage anyone who can afford it to subscribe, Slate's got a hell of a sale going right now and subscriptions are how they can afford to pay freelancers for articles like this one For my fellow brokies, though:

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

It's @nekiasnba.bsky.social and @stevejones20.bsky.social for the @nba.com Strategy Stream!

the replay 😂

We've got Bears in cheese grater hats and Caleb Williams grating cheese

Matt Shaw really beginning to doubt his "Jews will not replace us" poster.

I’ve never been happier to be wrong (and Chambliss was the QB to trust.)

Comments on this story devolving into whether The Verge is allowed to write about politics….

Restrain? Fuck you! Anything less than their abolition is unacceptable.

Every so often I think about how Minnesota holds, continues to hold, and will never return the 28th Virginia Batte Flag as a spoil of war, won righteously against the slaver-oligarchs and their willing goons in battle at Gettysburg. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

FUCK ICE AND IF YOU SUPPORT THEM FUCK YOU TOO

the Twins have been in daily contact with Venezuelan staff and players, a source has confirmed to me. they are all safe and sound, according to the source, with some traveling soon for the season.

this was way more emotional than i expected

“Nobody can stop us,” a thing famously said by people about to do good things

Trump is posting a bunch of photos without captions, presumably of him watching the Maduro kidnapping. Is this the inside of a SCIF at Mar-a-Lago or did they just toss up some pipe and drape?

This is also the outcome many in Venezuela fear most: they capture Maduro, wash their hands of any real regime-change plan, and unfurl a “Mission Accomplished” banner. Meanwhile, the same players keep running Venezuela, nothing materially changes, and conditions on the ground could actually worsen

We're going to need a bigger Hague.

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

Being an American fucking sucks

Watching this coverage on the BBC and it’s wild to actually see people talking direct shit about Trump in ways you never ever see on US news. It’s like 5% as pointed as it should be but it’s more than you ever see at home.

Ole Miss winning this would be a very funny addition to the increasingly rich Lane Kiffin Lore.

Trinidad Chambliss:

I was already mad about the NHL statement when I saw it yesterday and then I was inspired by @thefrankiedlc.news's own newsletter (which I link to in my post) because holy fuck I hate the NHL bsky.app/profile/thef...

I hate the NHL the way the NHL hates queer people 🩷 placeholders.beehiiv.com/p/while-i-m-...

Merry Christmas everyone. I have to share this. Toni Storm is an incredible human being. She found out my neighbors kids are huge fans of hers and she recorded this video for them. She’s unhinged and she’s THE BEST! 😂

Okay, apart from everything else... the photo choice? The image seemed familiar, so I checked and... it's a photo of Beatles fans waiting for the band's arrival at San Francisco International Airport in August 1964. Strange.

pov: you are a phillies player who just publicly criticized dave dombrowski’s team management

this made my soul ache

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

What a wonderful thread

The movie ends, Rob stands up, and Frank braces himself for the double-barreled shotgun blast. Rob walks up, tears all over his face, and says, quietly, "It's the best film Castle Rock has ever released. Good work." And then he left. Class. Fucking. Act. Rob Reiner was a capital-M Mensch. #RIP

what would be the funniest way to find out It happened like via Jeff Passan or something

Congratulations you fucking morons

NEW: Here's my story on Arlington, Texas, becoming the first known city in the nation to kill a city-wide LGBTQ+ anti-discrimination policy in response to the Trump administration. With no statewide protections, it was one of the few things protecting LGBTQ+ Texans: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

i understand the frustration but we don't have to LIE lmfao

full Q I asked and Roberts' answer to me.
