After having a few hours to reflect on the #MotoGP carnage from today, one thought keeps coming back into my head. Why would MM93 ever get back on a racebike? He has done it all, has the scars. He has nothing to prove, and needs nothing more from racing to make his life good. He sat on his couch

First one to treat is TRUMP. Chemical castrate him yeah

Do we really need the chemical part?

Sulfuric acid is my chemical of choice for them.

Why not stop temporary hit-and-miss measures and do it for real?

$1 billion for Trump's ballroom? “I think the timing and the optics are really bad,” admitted one GOP senator www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I think the fact that the Senatate Parlimentarian saying that it needed 60 votes instead of a simple majority to pass kind of cinched things for it.

"As a pastor whose faith has been deepened by reading the Quran, I could not help but grieve the distortion of Jesus’ name to justify desecrating a text that shares so much with the Bible." sojo.net/articles/opi...

Here’s your definitions.

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

The Supreme Court recently undid decades of progress, clearing the way for politicians to propose unfair maps that weaken the voting strength of people of color, especially Black voters. We won’t go back — and we won't back down.

Yesterday a doctor popped by here to tell me to watch my language and it irritated the fuck out of me. Did I need to curse in this post? Yes I did. The word fuck is necessary to sufficiently convey my level of annoyance. Oh and also, the U.S. is being destroyed so swearing seems appropriate.

Congresswoman @RepKatCammack has supported Ukraine in certain votes. But has never voted for any key aid package. ❌Voted against all key aid packages ✅Voted for sanctions in '22 ✅Condemned religious persecution ✅Condemned trafficking of children ✅Supports seizing assets

Florida has a lot of russians and russian supporters

If you’re lost or stranded and you have the phone connection that would be necessary to do this, you would be much better off phoning for help.

noted profile in cowardice wants his old colleagues to stand up to the guy he kowtowed to back when his choices actually mattered www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/u...

Every time Republicans on the SCOTUS lower the threshold of allowing voting rights to be stripped from minorities, Republican states leap into action to do so. The GOP was a deeply racist party long before Trump showed up. Anyone saying otherwise is angling for legacy media approval.

Very good interview with @grahamformaine.bsky.social Addresses all the issues. Worth a listen.

Two men have been killed by their own stupidity in Sumy region. The 45 and 47 year olds decided to take a downed drone home in their car. But one of the explosive elements exploded while they were in the Putvyl area.

India says one of its citizens was killed in today's attack on Russia. Delhi also says 3 other Indians were injured at the same plant (presumably oil). It's tragic for them and their families, but they were actively helping an aggressor state in a war.

Following a series of raids that took place on the morning of May 13, a coalition of lawyers is now preparing to file a federal restraining order against federal agents and agencies who have targeted VC Defensa. The full story: lataco.com/vc-defensa-l... By Aisha Wallace-Palomares and Izzy Ramirez

I do not consider this confirmed for now. And there is a non-zero risk my speculations (that got quite some attention and was misconstrued, especially in Finland) have been washed into some people finding it true. Would not be the first time.

Zelensky said Ukraine’s Defense Forces, SBU and intelligence carried out a large-scale operation against Moscow region targets more than 500 km away, overcoming Russia’s densest air defenses around its seat of power and expanding Ukraine’s deep-strike reach. #Ukraine

Who thought we would get to see white in Zelensky's beard, so soon! What a hero!!! Slava🇺🇦

On iPhones, open the compass app. Does not require connection to the Internet.Does require satellite service, so if your lost underground, it may not help.

Could fsb doing a false flag

2/2 Russia says the enormous blaze broke out in a warehouse containing finishing materials. It's too early to know if there are casualties. #RussiaOnFire

1/2 #RussiaOnFire A huge blaze has broken out in central Moscow. traffic on the North-East Chord is closed in both directions. Officials deny it's from a Ukrainian drone attack.

You have to love Kyiv 💙💛 Dawn concerts are being staged on Volodymyrska Hill - yes, really, this happened at 5am.

Interesting video. They’re spraying water on the fire truck because it’s too close to the fire and they’re worried about hydraulic lines etc catching on fire. Parked a little too close!

The Mega Mall in Khimki has been closed today. Drone debris fell on the territory - and this time it really was debris! Khimki is a large town just north-west of Moscow city.

Russia claims 3 people were killed and 16 injured when a drone hit a residential building in Moscow region. I showed this last night, but since then a clearer video has appeared.

Russia is eager to proof it still has firefighters, and they've not all been sent to the front. All those air defence systems and they failed to protect Moscow's refinery and pumping stations. #SlavaUkraïni

More pretty videos from Transneft's facilities which supply much of Moscow's needs.

3-day special military operation has become reciprocal. The Muscovites experience now for a tiny little bit of what Ukrainians have endured for more than four years. Instead of crying, they better start organising bomb shelters

It's interesting to note a new explosion has been heard in Moscow in the last hour. Moscow's Vnukovo airport was shut again shortly before and this unverified photo has been circulating. Further south, Krasnodar and Gelendzhik airports are also closed.

Not all the damage in Moscow was caused by Ukraine though - I showed one clear #FriendlyFire incident at the end of last night's thread, of a missile looping the loop and plunging to earth. And I'm pretty sure this was not hitting anything in the air either!

There are many videos of crying, scared Muscovites amazed they're being attacked - after all the military operation should have been over more than 4 years and 2 months ago! Here are a few more videos for you - here the heavily defended oil refinery is taking a smoking break!

So to Moscow... and drone guru Magyar sent a clear message to the Russians and notably in a language even Presidementia USA may understand.

A favorite memory. Heck yes. Stay strong Ukraine 🇺🇦 👊🏼💪🏼✊🏼

3) Not only officials are paid to bring recruits to the army, private citizens and companies can get the bonus too. "You recruit my nephew, I'll recruit yours!" 😜

Russian viewpoint: 1) In Crimea you can buy a chainsaw, generator etc for almost nothing from a Russian who sells from his car, says he's "from the SVO". 🤔 2) PoWs returned to Russia were all recently captured, although Ukraine has many from 2022. 🤔

We are all Ukrainans. 🇺🇦 We're Here With You All The Way. Fight Fascism With Everything You Have. Freedom, Liberty, and Democracy will Prevail. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 #Freedom #Liberty #Democracy #Ukraine
