So, how soon after last night's game do we think an email went out from the Spurs inviting the President to Game Five?

This win probability chart is wild:

After watching this game down the stretch, I'm buying all the "Wemby is a lanky French Embiid" stock you can sell me. MVP-caliber talent, but what can he do offensively to win you a tight playoff game late?

Given last night's result, I don't know what outcome is funnier going forward: 1. The Knicks win in five, having only lost the game the President attended; or 2. The Spurs win in six, the President having so thoroughly destroyed the Knicks' good vibes that they never recover. A true conundrum.

Wild to think that she was basically the consensus Most Beautiful Woman in the World at this point in time, but if she was coming up in the modern day there'd be a sizeable group of chuds obsessed with "transvestigating" her because she had the audacity to have cheekbones and a jawline.

Broke: the President needs to be removed from office because he's a threat to American democracy Woke: the President needs to be removed from office so the country's 250th Anniversary party doesn't suck

Fun game: pick nine acts that you know hate the President and would make a much better concert list. My nine: - Bruce Springsteen - Neil Young - Taylor Swift - Green Day/Billie Joe Armstrong - Eminem - Rage Against the Machine/Tom Morello - Jack White - U2/Bono - REM

I'm very interested in finding out if a blue tsunami would force MAGA folks to realize the bubble they're living in. Like, if they lose the Texas Senate seat, do they realize everyone outside of their unfortunately sizable cult kind of hates them right now, or do they chalk it up to fraud?

Checked the NHL standings, and had to make a meme:

Given the case in front of the Supreme Court today, I want to make one thing clear: the 14th Amendment is blindingly clear in its language and intent regardless of your lens of interpretation. If you don't want a government that has it, you should find a new country. I hear Hungary might be for you.

dat distinguished gentleman welbz

So wait, since the Venezuelans beat us in our past time, shouldn't we have to give them back their President?

I wonder if the fascist chuds of our great-grandchildren's generation will try to do the "actually, Hitler was left wing" thing with Donald and point to, like, the proposed $1k accounts for citizen children as "proof" he was actually a socialist

After today's Tottenham loss, I made a meme:

A thing I think about a fair bit now: would the country/world have been better off if Donald had won in 2020? I think it's a tough hypothetical: on the one hand, COVID would have gone much worse, with way more deaths as he sacrificed our old and vulnerable at the altar of the economy.

A complicated thought I have: what we are doing in Iran is obviously bad, dumb, and illegal (AKA "The Donald Special"), but I actually don't disagree with the idea that were we (or any other nation) ever in a legitimate war, "decapitation strikes" on the leadership of the opposition should be the

in response to this morning's news, i'm afraid i have no choice but to become a panican

One thing I'd advise to folks: get people you know on the right to take stock of how they feel about this war right now. Right wing media has absolutely been doing some Iran bashing as part of their general islamophobia bit, but there was very little in the way of actual consent manufacturing.

live look at the situation room: (note: this is a hyperbolic over-exaggeration for the purpose of comedy; in the actual situation room, the person asking what good the wanton violence and destruction will do doesn't exist)

Very excited for Chuck Schumer, who absolutely is in favor of this, to make a big fuss over nitpicky procedural issues about properly manufacturing consent and *how* this should happen, not *whether* it should happen

It's telling that they named this operation "Epic Fury." No "Iraqi Freedom"-style lie about doing this for the Iranian people; just "we're mad and so we're gonna blow shit up" (and in this case, the "we" here is honestly as much Israel as it is the US).

Drink a bunch of wine and convince my wife I'm sober challenge (impossible)

US and Slovakia's jerseys are too close; we need third jersey options like they have in soccer. Let's have one of these teams out here in neon orange

A thing I keep thinking about: I think right wing media has cooked the brains of those who've been immersed in it so thoroughly that to a lot of them, Donald is basically GW Bush: a funny kinda dumb guy they'd want to hang out with, but who those pinko leftists they don't like insist is a fascist.

a wario of mina kimes named queena mimes who is also queen of the mimes is this anything

Donald pardons three former NFL players convicted of drug trafficking (and one for insurance fraud, because game recognize game), but tell me again how he really cares about protecting US citizens from drugs and needs to blow up ships in the Caribbean to do it. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

watching the super bowl

Found my old football cards. Very excited to watch the Dick Tuten-Butts Bowl

I think part of why this administration has been surprised by the resistance they've faced here in Minneapolis and elsewhere is that as much as they are absolutely trying to impose their vision on the country with force, they are nevertheless susceptible to believing their own propaganda.

i am fundraising for the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund at the link below! should be live all day 🐋 twitch.tv/shaun_vids

Do we need to start talking about a Bukayo Saka Ewing Theory situation?

The Patriots are going to the Super Bowl. Mike Vrabel's penis has never been in more danger

A thing I keep thinking about the current state of the right wing media apparatus right now is an episode of The Boondocks. Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy try to rob a store, but get stopped by the owner and end up in a standoff with him. There's a cop on scene, and Ed and Rummy get to work.

This is Alex Pretti.

okay hear me out

We can't both be the "it's everyone's right to have a gun" country and the "he had a gun, so it's OK that the government killed him" country.

Just for the edification of folks, when you see hundreds or more likely thousands of folks marching in Minneapolis today, this is what they're braving to do it (to say nothing of the risk of being violently attacked by ICE goons):

My belief coming into these playoffs was that the Bears were cursed, and thus there was no way they'd be able to make it out of the NFC. But Ben Johnson having success elsewhere kind of worsens the Lions curse, and they're the most cursed team in the conference. So maybe the Bears can do it? 🤷‍♂️

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
