Sometimes people apologize to soothe their own hearts and not yours, and you can tell

Love when baseball announcers get bored enough to spout random facts. “This is just like when Washington Boolean hit a two run double into a swamp in 1918.”

Ernie Clement Max Muncy Mookie Betts Say what you like about the teams but these are some absolutely classic baseball player names

Welcome back fugitive slave act (and hopefully the anti manhunting societies)

The absolutely brilliant pitch perfect troll of getting targeted by your opponent with virulent Islamophobia and then immediately releasing an ad in all Arabic.

if you weren't supposed to invest in them then why are they named financiers

CEOs: Oops we got 👀 tricked into laying off half our workforce 👀 accidentally creating an industry-wide employment crisis 👀 for tech that does not and cannot even work right 👀 so we have no choice 👀 but to rehire human workers 👀 at much less pay 👀 this was unintended 👀 as we said 👀 we were tricked

This will be a long thread on yesterday police massacre in Rio. In nothern Rio de Janeiro city, there is a couple of hills called Complexo da Penha. It's Comando Vermelho("Red Command", a drug gang), or CV, territory. CV is the greatest gang in Rio, second in the whole Brazil. +

I’m checking out the revry app now for some queer things to watch. can I get some recommendations for more streaming apps with queer films and shows please?

This case has always shown the farcical, and inhumane, nature of the Home Office, across multiple governments and Home Secretaries. A scared kid messes up on their claim and it takes 26 years to accept they should have been provided with asylum from the start www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/10...

honestly the only piece worth reading on the platner situation. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is absolutely cooking here. (gift link)

A brief history of attacks against Zohran Mamdani: 1) who? 2) He's a communist 3) Ten thousand questions about Israel 4) His rent is too damn low 5) The rich are all gonna move to Florida 6) Why is this mf always smiling 7) 🚨MUSLIM MUSLIM MUSLIM🚨BROWN🚨9/11✈️🏢🏢 8) Fuck it, let's just arrest him

saying this on a show hosted by a person who is the definition of dem party insider … hmmm ok

it’s WEIRD

CNN is reporting that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social referred to a voter he was meeting as “my man” at a campaign event today, even though the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution has made it illegal to own human beings since 1865 and remains the law in states including New York

With the advent of realistic deepfakes, will it be technologically feasible to produce complex patterns akin to the security printing on banknotes and passports, that AI couldn't accurately reproduce? Thinking as part of a background, or item of clothing. #showerthoughts

Obvious to say this, but the actual function of the smear job isn't to make us ask about his aunt, it's to show us the words "hijab" and "9/11" in a headline with his photo.

Lots of lovely folks want to cook for neighbors, fill community fridges during SNAP shutdown but are intimidated. A mutual aid group in Flatbush, Brooklyn has been feeding 80+ people every single week for a year and a half or so now. Nobody is born knowing how to cook for 80, so here's our guide!

"I know writers who use subtext and they are all cowards"

Nobody needs to be QRTing Joe Walsh. Nonsense man makes nonsense pitch based on nonsense poll. Just laugh at his hubris and move on.

*Democrats run centrists three elections in a row* Centrists: We need to run a centrist. That's the solution

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

World Series games don’t even let you go to sleep anymore. Because of woke.

It’s so cool that there’s a big chunk of people to whom the term “capitalism” just means “trade” and if you try to explain any actual academic or historical definition of the term, even ones accepted amongst academics who think it’s a great system, they become furious and reject it.

Game 3 of the World Series will continue until morale improves.

There is no way to show those protecting the victims anyway. I do not care how blurred out they are. A lot of the victims literally gave their lives to get the story out. Their words are plenty powerful. Our Declaration of Independence wasn’t a snuff film on the Bostom Massacre. It was words.

This game is like I got caught smoking a baseball and now I have to smoke a whole pack of baseball

I’m just a Black woman trying to find joy wherever I can and right now it’s in fellowship and home cooked meals. Please find joy wherever you can. It won’t be easy but it’ll be worth it.

"If something evil is popular, is it still evil?" is basically the defining social question of our time.

"No Nazi tattoos" is a good red line, but seeing it from people who thought "no genocide" was asking too much is bizarre

If there's one thing that's definitely worse than *not* having a codified constitution, it's having a constitution that cannot command support, that's widely seen as rigged or that codifies the wrong things. Such a constitution would not constrain authoritarianism. It would turbo-charge it. [END]

It’s never an AI-generated horror when I want it to be. :(

Inside you, there are two wolves. Outside of you, there are like millions of wolves. Good luck with those odds. Eat arbys

After trying to research skin care methods and finding too much conflicting advice I have decided to age swiftly and devastatingly in a mossy green cloak with a gnarled walking stick in my hand and crow on my shoulder

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

And Brooklyn Resisters (one of the coalition members) put together this document called 50 Ways You Can Fight For New York. You can just pick one of these things and start fighting now. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

yeah I don't do makeup or pay attention to fashion due to, um, a militant radfem commitment to unpacking beauty standards. i'm deconstructing the expectations placed on the feminized when I roll out of bed and head outside in the first dress I grab out of the closet. for sure.

also you should feel sort of bad if you saw the 1919 thing and immediately took it at face value and shared it; I don't care that you think you had probable cause or a moral high ground here, this is how the spread of misinformation works. Think about that for a minute.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

anytime someone says “Harris move to the left” what they mean is “Harris was a Black woman running for President and that was leftist overreach.”
