Live look at Arsenal actually gaining ground in the title race with a listless 0-0 draw at relegation-adjacent Forest:

tired: donald is responsible for ashli babbitt's death because he sicced the crowd at his rally on the capitol building wired: donald is responsible for babbitt's death because he was the president at the time and was therefore ultimately responsible for the actions of capitol police

One thing I don't get is why the Packers went back to McManus after Havrisik was as good if not better. No sexual harasser vibes in the building and you're paying him less, and it's not like McManus is some legendary postseason kicker, as evidenced by him dropping 7 points in a game you lost by 4.

Yelled at an ICE officer to get out as I drove past one on Lake Street

Someone with a bigger account than me please point this out: look where that lone bullet hole is, basically at the edge of the windshield. If he were at any risk of actually being run over by a car that we can see from other photos was turning *away* from him, it'd have to be near or over the wiper.

an 81-year-old hillary clinton running for president in 2028: "all you hear from these millennial gen z-ers is 6-7. the number they should be focusing on is 86...ing the republican party"

OK Democrats, Donald has set the standard: if the head of state of a nation has overseen the commission of crimes, the United States has the right to forcibly arrest and criminally try that person. My vote to whoever promises to vigorously enforce that standard with regards to this administration.

we talk a lot about vj edgecombe as a stand-out of this rookie class, but basically never about how his name sounds like a series of sex acts. the bias in modern sports media is out of control

In hindsight, it's wild that the one branch of the federal government we don't directly elect is also the one that (in theory at least) is most responsible for protecting our rights as citizens against unconstitutional overreaches by the other two.

(did not expect to use this meme twice in one day) tripping shouldn't be a penalty in the nfl

the gainwell catch while being dragged to the ground is more impressive than any full extension one-handed catch

As a native of Las Vegas I get to say this: Frank Sinatra's version of "Jingle Bells" is probably the worst version that gets regular radio play. Ol' Blue Eyes has plenty of bangers (both Christmas and generally), but he really whiffed on that one.

jared goff's wario jared gon is this anything

I keep coming back to the thought that what much of the modem American right wants is essentially a return to slavery, in function if not in form. They want to reap the benefits of the labor of an underclass of disproportionately non-white workers ... 1/2

constantly getting into crashes on the freeway because the 40 mph minimum speed lists no exception for when there's traffic, and i'll be damned if i'm going to get a ticket for driving too slowly

Having watched the Packers and Bears for twenty minutes, my official conclusion is that neither team is particularly good, and by extension the whole NFC is kinda garbage.

My turn to be an internet scold: "inside you there are two wolves" comes from an indigenous story about choosing to "feed" our prosocial tendencies, and it kind of sucks that we have turned something with a much needed moral (particularly in our current climate) into nothing more than a meme format.

Vikings fans before the Seahawks game: "The Vikings front office can't possibly find a worse option at QB than JJ McCarthy." Vikings fans after the Seahawks game:

The Bears are somehow 8-3 with a negative point differential for the year. #NFL

pretty wild that the main benefactor of our vice president is basically one of those masked squid game weirdos

John Fetterman is the Ben Simmons of politics

they're calling it the kettle corn-ification of america, and no one understands what the fuck they're talking about

New "I'm With Her" just dropped:

you call it "playing donkey kong;" i call it "slaving away in the donk mines." we are not the same

Well, after an exciting conclusion to the game we were all focused on this evening, I'm sure we all have some interesting opinions. So what do we think: are the Sixers for real?

Was just forced to endure 90+ minutes of Fox News waiting for my car at the shop, and maybe it's because my expectations of the usual suspects on that channel are so low, but the person who I saw who was most infuriating was Fetterman. Just a complete waste of a Senator.

it's impacting more and more americans every year, and the effects are devastating. doctors are calling it weirdboob

a version of sex where you're not allowed to use your arms called sexccer is this anything

Donald's been talking a lot about heaven, and is also playing for a Nobel Peace Prize. The latter is mostly Obama jealousy, but I'm beginning to think he thinks it'll help with the former too; that God's waiting for some Swedes to give Him the thumbs up before letting him through the pearly gates.

Think about how gross the average aftermath of a six year old eating is and then look me in the eye and say that elementary school lunch workers/custodians, who are cleaning up after dozens if not hundreds of kids, don't deserve to be some of the highest paid people in our society. Fucking heroes.

While I'm on a sportsball kick, I really enjoyed Arsenal's win over Newcastle. "Same old ______, always cheating" is such a stupid, small-club-mentality chant, and every fan base who uses it deserves to have their hearts ripped out with late game losses like what happened to the Toons today.

Very excited for tonight's game between America's Team, Ideal Version (Green Bay, small town team owned by its community) and America's Team, Actual Version (Dallas, a Texas team owned by an incompetent senile billionaire and run by said senile billionaire alongside his sycophants and failsons).

marmaduke comic strip arc where he has to hunt down and confront his evil twin brother harmaduke is this anything

More and more I've come to believe this: to be a conservative is to believe that the problems of other people are all of their own making, and something they or charitable individuals need to address; but that your problems are all someone else's fault and both require and merit state intervention.

I've thought about it a lot today, and I think that I've landed on "Huey Freeman eulogizes Stinkmeaner" as my thoughts on Charlie Kirk: "He was a horrible human being, and the world was better off with him dead. But he was our brother."

Our Army went from 12-2 and dominating the AAC under Biden to losing to Tarleton State under Donald. A nation and a military in decline; truly a sad state of affairs.

I keep ruminating on the uphill battle anyone actually on the left has in order to get anything accomplished. Like, the fact that you're coming for some of the money of the wealthy is one thing, but at a fundamental level, progressivism is calling for collective action for the benefit of all. 1/

One thing that gets me about the anti-trans movement is just *how* anti-science it is. Even if you think being trans is a mental illness or a delusion, that has no bearing on what scientists agree is the best course of treatment: gender affirming care. Those two ideas can coexist. 1/

A thought I'm struck by as it becomes increasingly apparent that Donald is making decisions solely on who's nicest to him (with the nicest thing, of course, being bribery): I think an overlooked aspect of his ability to maintain his base is that he fulfills a power fantasy for them. 1/

There is something of an irony for QAnons and other right wing folks that they were so worried about pedophiles in the highest levels of government, that they put a pedophile in the highest government office. It could be hilarious, were the underlying subject matter not so awful.

Tag yourself. I'm this smiling idiot:

Very "excited" (sarcastic) for right wing and right leaning media to go from painting Frey as an ineffectual mayor incapable of stopping violent immigrants from taking over Minneapolis, to instead being the last defender of democracy now that his main opponent is a Muslim with Somali heritage.

Only tangentially related, but it's funny to me how I've gone from just loving Redwall, to thinking its villains are unrealistic in how regularly they backstab and undermine each other, to realizing no, the villains of our world generally are catty bitches who all hate each other. Bravo, Mr. Jacques

Lots of other stuff to focus on, but I need to get an idea/thread out of my head about the whole "run the government as a business" thing, and this misguided idea that the government's main goal should be efficiency. Because I think it's one of the biggest shared delusions plaguing our society. 1/

I've found I'm a lot more comfortable buying and wearing trucker hats nowadays, and I think a small but nonzero factor in that is that all of the people with the worst beliefs have moved on to wearing a different type of hat, one that's usually red with white lettering and is made in China.

Hard not to draw a line between comments like this and the events that happened last night: bringmethenews.com/minnesota-ne...

Proposal to make a terrible idea much better: take Elon's "five things you did this week" structure, but make it that you record/document five things this regime has done on a weekly basis and send the list, without further comment, to any and all Donald supporters you still communicate with.

"Some of y'all cant handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows"

Imagine this: we all shit in one big pile. We all go to the same place and shit on the pile. Eventually the pile gets big enough you gotta climb it on all fours to shit on it. There is nothing preventing us from doing this
