lol every day a new rich landlord gives an interview where they’re like “soon they’re going to pass a law that says that we have to treat our tenants fairly! and that’s just the tip of the iceberg: then they’ll say we can’t make up bogus shit to charge them for. this Mamdani guy is a tyrant”

[Guy in the corner at a party voice]: They don’t know that Dairy Queen is headquartered in Minnesota.

I guess the fact that I make it a point to get a DQ blizzard every time I visit my mom in Florida probably makes that my choice lol

"Don't Take The Call"

This is going to get a lot of action between now and November

looks like it’s going to be another tight race between Boring but Decent Human Being and Worst Person Imaginable, with polling running at 48.1% to 46.7% with a 2-point margin of error

LRT is really good, and not even re: the meta-discourse about being on here vs. some other site (since that discourse is exhausting imo.) it’s just a good rule of thumb in general — we don’t need more exposure to right-wing takes. they’re either dogshit stupid or made entirely in bad faith

I spent years arguing on the internet and basically the only times I’ve ever learned anything are from other folks on a different part of the left than I am, the right wingers mostly just lie to me while audibly giggling about the fact that they’re lying why subject myself to that

it’s always interesting to see a HS/college friend who never posts anything on social media suddenly go on a multi-day posting barrage. like, they are clearly going through something rn, but what is it

Djokovic back to doing Djokovic things

some jokes write themselves

lmao I just saw a video of Tony Dungy endorsing Michel Tafoya for Senate. so I guess she’s guaranteed to get at least one vote

This is completely deranged: Iran is required to play games in the US but ISN’T ALLOWED TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY OVERNIGHT. They will instead have to fly back to Mexico. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

I agree with this but I do also think people long for inconvenience — or least ~friction~. like, I want to go into the store and touch the merchandise and talk to the person who works there and maybe talk to other customers, which is all less seamless than having something delivered but less fun imo

this is the tennis version of the bad-faith (or maybe just stupid?) arguments any rich person gets when they advocate for people who make less money. like it’s unfathomable to acknowledge that you’re very fortunate but other people who are not could use help

the assaults on people’s rights, on international relations, on the economy, etc. are obviously much more harmful and tangibly bad, but I cannot stand how tacky and stupid these creeps are. every day I see something that I swear is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen, and every day it is surpassed

my uncle found a Jason Isbell Ryman Auditorium concert t-shirt, brand new, at a thrift store so he sent it to me. it’s a great shirt so I’m going to wear it but it feels like stolen valor since I wasn’t at that show lol

it is pretty wild that the Cavs went from “winning a game seven on the road by 30+ and looking like they’d found something” to “their season is over after getting absolutely dismantled” in like a week lol

hardly scientific, but it feels like the mustache’s moment has come and gone. like it’s the exclusive domain of upper-middle-class right-wing guys in the south now

a horse walks into a bar and says to the barman, "on a right angled triangle with sides x, y and z, if x and z are perpendicular which side is opposite the right angle?", and the barman says "y, the long face"

lmfao

hope this guy is doing great tonight

@nycsanitation.bsky.social I’d like to report a sweep

closing out these three series with wins by 51, 30, and 37 points. just incredible

anyway, bing bong

we may find out after James Harden retires that he was involved in a career-long playoff point-shaving scheme

me, after putting on cologne in middle school:

haven’t seen Gaston struggle like this since he fought The Beast

some of the shot-making in this Gaston/Monfils match is just insane

I’m sure Ben Shelton is being paid very handsomely by On to wear their gear but hoo buddy it is bad imo

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

not sure why “rawdogging” is now a word we use for common experiences like riding the bus or whatever, i do pretty much all that stuff without a condom on anyway

Almost every Tiger Woods social post now is either “yes the rumors are true, I’m dating Pol Pot’s former daughter in law” or “I’m very sorry I crashed a car into a nuclear power plant,” so a standard-fare Memorial Day post is a nice relief.

can’t tell which posts about Spurs are about the basketball team or the soccer team until I finish reading the entire thing and it registers to me whether I understood any of the other words in the post

I am alive, if anyone is wondering. sorry to my haters

I am alive……for now

There was a time when we used to do Booty Had Me Like posts. A more innocent age, and one that feels very far gone.

Met two Slovaks moons ago at a bar and dropped that I’d been to Bratislava and immediately I got hit with how shitty slovak ‘big city’ people are. It’s global

wow everyone on here sure is going crazy over that caught stealing in the Marlins/Mets game

this is a trick question; the answer is “every state”

@athensgrease.bsky.social after an early autumn trip to banana republic

[David Letterman voice] Bender. Benge. Bender. Benge.

My old person hill to die on is you need to say “hello” and “thank you” to people working in any service industry. Treat people like people, you have to

I really want to like Martina Navratilova — she’s a great announcer, a trailblazer for gay athletes, and on the short list of best players of all time — but it’s impossible to hear her now without thinking of how she has dedicated her later years to being an obnoxious TERF for some reason

Arthur Gea in the middle of his match against Karen Khachanov at Roland Garros "I've got the runs, I need to go to the bathroom. I can't move anymore, I'm gonna shit on the court." 😭😭😭😭😭😭

He’s living in 3026 over here. What a life hack.

39 points on 72% shooting in the first quarter, that will work
