That's not how I remember it, though admittedly I was grown up, awake, and paying attention at the time

Posting is not activism nor discourse part eleventy billion

"Drowning is almost always a deceptively quiet event. The waving, splashing, and yelling that dramatic conditioning (television) prepares us to look for, is rarely seen in real life."

Love it: the night after he was kicked off of CBS for good, Stephen Colbert hosted a public access show in southeast Michigan.

My anti-TERF origin story was in the 90s when I was a kid I noticed that everyone that fucking sucked was a bigot and everyone that was cool (Kurt, Stipe etc) was not.

That’s right. There are moments in Girl Talk albums that are like, the best music has ever made me feel

The president of Cornell hit two students with his car, lied about what happened, and got away with it. The story illustrates an under-reported crisis in higher education: administrators and the trustees they answer to are increasingly hostile to the idea of college itself. I wrote about it here:

Genuinely messed up that for like 75% of all WNBA topics you search on Google, it prompts you to ask the follow-up question “Who is the transwoman in the WNBA?” (if you click on it the answer given is “Layshia Clarendon,” who is non-binary and retired)

Will's analysis is worth reading, but I think it understates the "ugly" in an important respect, namely by conflating "racial gerrymandering" with "racial vote dilution." That understatement also undermines what Will calls the "good," namely Callais' interpretation of the statutory text. 🧵(1/7)

When Tom wrote the line "Chet, the hated Chet," I couldn't help but think of one of the great pieces of Internet ever conceived. clickhole.com/which-one-of...

This is depressing and shameful but I want to highlight @raskin.house.gov's dissenting vote in Committee. He gets it, and I'm glad he put in the time to fully assess this bill and put this on the record. His full dissent is here, at the bottom: www.congress.gov/committee-re...

In a response to the long-debunked "retail theft epidemic," the House voted 348 to 60 for a bill that would exacerbate mass incarceration by sweeping more low-level crime into the federal system and exacerbate the criminalization of poverty. TY to the 59 Democrats who voted NO (see below).

Man, two all-timers in the space of a month. Nice job, New Yorker cartoon editors. The idea of this one is brilliant, but the execution is maybe even more so—getting the figure in the coffin to read both ways like it’s supposed to is something.

we did it, Joe! 1,000 net subs since the newsletter started covering EVERY SPORT ON EARTH, ALL THE TIME. I thought we'd get unsubscribes from people who signed up for NFL or March Madness or whatever. Instead we gained a lot! Actually 1,002. I guess the extra two can unsubscribe but please don't

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Come with me to help our local Daisy Scouts get their government badge in Queens! 🍪 (🎥✨ Trying out vlogging for the first time - let me know your thoughts/tips/tricks!)

Fucked around on the internet and now a signed copy of the first Dinotopia book is headed to my home.

Happens with the Ducktails theme all the time

The Times finally found a university president it wants to protect, I am hyperventilating

had any body included land of the lost on their list of favorite tv shows yet

That's the best poster dunk I've seen in years holy shit

I've had my frustrations with him but I generally have to agree with this one. His luck is total shit too!

I don't think it was smart for the Red Sox offense to change their motto from "Do Damage" to "First, Do No Harm"

Good gravy LeBron

All the respect in the world to the Bánh Mì, grilled cheese, Reuben, cheeseburger, BLT, etc but the Peanut Butter and Jelly is the best sandwich on the planet. You might see this & disagree but the next time you have one you’ll go “oh yea, Sean was right”

Revisited this last year, and it hits something no other book quite does for me.

ok here's my pitch: —you open your inbox —you get an email from me, Rodger, about the biggest sports story of the day —you scroll down a bit and learn about 5-ish sports stories you weren't paying attention to at all —it's free sports.beehiiv.com/subscribe

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

Jake Mangum spots kid in the crowd, tosses the ball, and her brother catches it and gives it to her. Dudes rock.

The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.

Confused about when people were/are 12

So is there a point where we get Mina & Katie on the same episode of Celebrity Jeopardy or is that flying too close to the sun

i guess nobody saw my post about my new newsletter because the website was down all day unless they already subscribed to my newsletter, which is free

Maybe just keep this graphic handy, ESPN

After this whole imbroglio is sorted we’re gonna drill down on whether or not a bear actually shits in the woods.

Rock League finals are on ESPN+ if you’re looking for one more very good curling thing on TV this season

The Surprising 1865 Death of a Politician Whose Portrait Might Be in Your Pocket Right Now

"AI is upending of the psyches of people who build and sell the technology. It’s startling to watch the raw, almost gleeful desperation of these (presumably) bright folks as they completely submit themselves to a product that demands they shut off their minds and critical faculties."

If the hyperlink for "surprise attack" led anywhere else than where it does, I would have unsubscribed from @defector.com @barryp.bsky.social Advances In Basebrawl Weaponry Are Being Made Every Day - defector.com/advances-in-...

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally” Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

8th world title for Niklas Edin and Sweden. Ridiculous. I haven’t won eight bonspiels

Darkwing Duck would've been an All-NBA point guard if afforded the chance

probably when we found out goblins were posting among us the whole time, we just never noticed

Travel writer Rick Steves on Washington's newly signed "Millionaires Tax"

happy trans day of visibility to all of the incredible trans people in my life. the world is better with you in it and I'm never going to stop fighting for you, because your fight is my fight. we're in this together.

Only able to make the trek up to Ogden for 1 draw today, a number of intriguing games this afternoon.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have is a very based son named Saxon. He unironically ordered a cheeseburger in an omakase setting."
