Chiefs-giants feels less like a football game than it does a three act play about failure

love that famous Russell Wilson deep ball

my similar take is that when ezra klein says "we need to learn to live with each other," he means he thinks the right wing insurgence is going to win, and he thinks it behooves him and his listeners to change in that direction so as to maintain favor/popularity with the fascist ruling class

sometimes i sit, astounded by the sheer number of excellent books that exist already, or will exist during my lifetime - far too many for me to read all the ones i know i would really enjoy.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

idk idk i just think that if ezra klein would really like to figure out how "we learn to live with each other" he should probably talk to any black person in the south about it

jimmy kimmel? that's what we're doing??? seriously?????

hahahahahahahahaha these are the two stupidest teams in football

Russ: still not the answer it turns out

Jesus fucking Christ

Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling. I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

Who could have predicted that Russell Wilson was not the answer ???

I love when the Giants show how bad they’re going to be immediately 💙💙💙

It’s so crazy that Taylor swift launched this elaborate of a plan to get back at Karlie kloss by ruining her favorite football team from the inside

“If Minnesota lets this moment slide and we determine that it’s okay for little ones to not be safe in a school environment or a church environment, then shame on us,” Walz said. “I’m going to call (lawmakers) back.”

Love to visit clients and friends at the state fair

every day there is some of the worst news imaginable and then we all have to keep sending emails and filing reports like there hasn't been another mass shooting or another deeply reported feature about the horrors of war, technology, and new policies designed to hurt vulnerable people even more

I have been saying this for years. Owning guns (for gun ranges and hunting), for the vast majority of gun owners, is a hobby, a past time - they are toys. Your toy is not worth this societal cost. Get the fuck rid of them.

The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country

It’s not *not* feeling civil warry

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely. Here's why.

fewer things should contain olives

Correct. This is the female gaze.

cooper agrees, minneapolis parks are very dangerous. for example, they make him sleepy and hot when the sun is too bright in them, and they are spaced so dangerously far away that he has to trudge 3 blocks home in that condition.

none of the things that they tell us will keep us safe do anything to keep us safe.

Signing a HUGE star probably 3 years after his prime and all of us believing he’s gonna bounce back with us WILD ARE SO BACK BABY

I just need Nicolas cage to appear on hot ones and then I can die happy

It does not seem like a super tenable state of affairs that people are disguising themselves as cops to commit political assassinations and simultaneously if you ask "real" law enforcement agent for identification/authority they wrestle you to the ground and arrest you. www.amny.com/news/brad-la...

7/ When MAGA uses violence against its political opponents and endorses private acts of violence when committed in service of MAGA, unhinged people listen - mostly on the right, but also on the left. Once violence gets mainstreamed, it's hard to put it back in the bottle.

6/ The deployment of the National Guard and Marines to LA was the next escalation. Trump sent the military into LA to inflame and create the conditions for more violence. The assault of Senator Padilla was the natural result of these purposefully heightened tensions.

4/ And we cannot discount the impact of MAGA's fetishization of guns. MAGA celebrates the tools of mass shooters and assassins - assault rifles, machine guns, silencers and high capacity magazines. MAGA doesn't treat firearms with respect - it celebrates their killing power.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

The most consequential Speaker in state history.

COWBOY CARTER IS LITERALLY TRADITIONAL COUNTRY, MORGAN WALLEN IS CONTEMPORARY COUNTRY THAT JOHNNY CASH WOULD SPIT ON, SPREAD THE WORD.

basically every day of this administration is the equivalent of dumping the entire contents of the Smithsonian on the national mall and setting it on fire, if there was a Smithsonian that contained every public good achieved by the people of this country

“Defund the police” was in fact a great slogan.

"don't bully trans kids" is a full reason to be fucking grossed out about this whole discussion, but "why are you losers so obsessed with children's sports in the first place" is another.

Please actually look through this…. From UNIDOS Rapid Response Training, Feb. 6th, 2025 🧵

Probably not the biggest issue of today but it is totally unclear to me why law enforcement officers are permitted to cover their faces to obscure their identities in the course of their taxpayer-funded day-to-day activities.

Every big act is in reality a bunch of small acts in a trench coat. Keep going, you're doing great.

someday someone should write a story about the folks who actually grew up in repressed working class communities & got educated & succeeded & are balancing their roots with their current lives. the problem is that most of those folks would be called "blue state liberal elites" by the media today.

buying a new fancy vacuum in your 30s rocks

Spy Kids, duh.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (Hard mode = no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

I can’t wait till normal gossip has to figure out how to anonymize the conclave
