Once again, Snake Plisken is on point.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Sigh

We'll remember who led this shit. We'll remember who cheered for this shit. We'll remember who expressed concern but went along with this shit. And we'll remember who twiddled their thumbs during this shit.

a bunch of people are following me for curling opinions and my strongest one is that you really should try it out for yourself this month. no matter your level of mobility you can play it, and it's a very rad community www.usacurling.org/find-a-club

So you're watching Olympic curling again, and it's awesome even if maybe you're just there for the ASMR, right? Perfectly normal at this point to ask yourself: well I'm in a big enough community, surely someone near me actually does this? The answer to that question is probably yes.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

This dude is intense and correct

Good weekend. @curlaksarben.bsky.social

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Today in “Dudes Rock”: A dude playing Dire Straits’s “Sultans of Swing” guitar solo on…a recorder.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

USA Curling announced today that they are caving to the administration's demands and banning trans women from all sanctioned women's competition. Here is my open letter to the curling community. thecurlingnews.com/news/communi... #Curling #USACurling #trans

This is too real.

Congress is voting on the Defense Appropriations bill this week to fund endless wars. How do we always find money for war but never enough money for the children, the poor, and the hungry?

Listen, it’s not like my “favorite” nuclear holocaust movie starts with ::checks notes:: superpowers dicking around in Iran and the straits of Hormuz!

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

I don't want to get drafted, T. I ain't even tried Thai food yet.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

The idea that this political violence is the consequence of people on both sides cheering it on seems like a sympathetic point but just doesn’t hold up to history. In my adult life, I’ve seen people on the right do everything from kill politicians to kill regular citizens, and it’s shrugged off.

Go call your dad, Jac!

“The pope will be from Chicago” sounds like an 1880s Republican’s dire prediction for if we don’t stop Irish immigration

An @mtsw.bsky.social observation I think about a lot is that future generations absolutely will not believe that Immortan Joe predated the Trump presidency

Fairly undeniable at this point that abolish ICE was always the only reasonable position

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible. I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible. I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Ten? Try 30+

🍀CURLING SHENANIGANS ALERT!🍀 Don’t forget to join us at Baxter Arena this Friday, March 14 through Sunday, March 16 to spectate at our Irish Open Bonspiel and cheer on teams!We'll have 24 teams competing across 4 events with lots of fun raffle items and a 50/50!

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Pro tip: wear your Turd Ferguson shirt to the gym if you want to make friends.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

well it has certainly been an amusing prank to let the worst people alive take over the american government for a few weeks, but I think it's probably gone on long enough

We’ve become used to right wingers throwing tantrums every time black people are on tv in something everyone is watching (the olympics, superbowl, ect) but it’s actually fucking weird and we shouldn’t act like that’s a normal reaction

You can just tell when someones never had a job that made them mop

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
