This is like watching a preseason game, everyone limbering up and getting a few reps in for when It finally happens. I like what I see. Scouting report is positive. When the big game arrives, I think we’re gonna see greatness. Squad is ready.

It was signed on August 2nd. It was approved on July 4th.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

As someone who works for a company whose entire client base is car dealerships, I fully back destroying every single one of those asshats.

I feel it’s sort of underrated the extent to which a Dem Congress and/or states could (1) absolutely destroy car dealerships as a business, and (2) this would cripple a lot of GOP state and local parties

Dying over the guy who stood next to Zuck's yacht and painted it in flames.

It’s time.

They put one of yours in the hospital, you put out a statement about how disappointed you are. That’s the centrist way.

Happy 226th Birthday to John Brown, the only white boy to ever truly understand the assignment

It’s the 250th year of American independence, and the Pope and the King of England are reminding Americans of their revolutionary values, principles, and ideals Somewhere, John Adams is confused as fuck

Ball room is a bipartisan preoccupation, as we know from recordings of LBJ's calls to his tailor

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

we are over a decade into this and I am still 100% convinced that when trump hears about immigrants filing for asylum he thinks aslyum means a madhouse like Arkham Asylum in Batman where all the crazy super villains are houses.

this is one of the most offensive things I've seen in years

someone should add up how much taxpayers have paid so far for trumps bull shit

Good for him but I am tired of learning about all the ways a 41-year-old candidate for U.S. Senate supposedly has a lot more growing and learning to do. Maybe do that before the Senate? And maybe try out a lower office before then? Or maybe we just watch him blossom into another Sinema/Fetterman.

Quote post with something good that lasted longer than the Confederacy (1861-1865) Star Wars original trilogy (1977-83)

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

The loss of 22 episode seasons means we're losing out on the time honored tradition of "episode in which recurring character is suddenly turned evil via MacGuffin and now the actor gets to have fun"

You don't need to watch this. The trailer, the show, none of it. You are not a child anymore. There are other stories. Potter may have once been a well of inspiration or joy, but that well is poisoned by the venom of its creator who sees every engagement as endorsement of her war on trans people.

Robert E. Lee got his ass beat at Gettysburg by a professor of rhetoric and oratory from Bowdoin College and generations of reactionary fantasists have died mad about it.

Perfect

Critical thread on Platner, who is becoming the Democrats' Roy Moore (i.e. a test of whether we have any boundaries at all).

It never ceases to confound me just how many folks think the point of essays is to provide teachers with essays. That teachers just like, collect them, or need them for sustenance or something. Rather than the point of them being the *actual fucking act of learning how to think about shit*

Futurama, “Where No Fan Has Gone Before” Frasier, “The Ski Lodge” The Golden Girls, “The Case of the Libertine Bell”

every time someone says something like "there weren't trans people when I was a kid" or some shit about trans people being a new thing because WOKE all I can think is "motherfucker Dog Day Afternoon was made in 1975"

In the modern era of pro sports, major league executives have throttled public ownership, preferring to run the leagues like old-boy networks with little publicly disclosed financial information. But there is one exception. buff.ly/1fLPv4e

Cohen to Bondi: "You tried to investigate Ms. Good's widow and you tried to investigate Mr. Pretti. They were executed like Kristi Noem executed her dog."

the set design and choreography was so beautiful that it was irrelevant that I’m a dummy who can’t understand Spanish

Olympics announcer just said "we're not Yoda, we can't predict the future" and I could feel a million nerds cry out in pain.

Our hot new MJ cover story on all the idiotic things Trump is doing to control America's 250 anniversary celebrations and ictate the presentation of US history and culture is online. Read it before the First Amendment gets canceled. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Springfield (eating the dogs / cats) Ohio desperately needs your help with ICE. Ohio Gov Mike DeWine said it will be “the next Minneapolis” as 15,000 Haitians (1/4th of the entire city) will have their TPS status prematurely revoked Weds Feb 4th. Here are links to donate and volunteer directly: 1/

i would be overjoyed if the U.S. had a president as ethical and even-tempered as Chancellor Gowron

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

I was struck today by this from Abigail Adams (writing to John in September of 1776), by the statue of her that stands at Quincy (MA) common

Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so. How far we have not come in 250 years.

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

One of the few positives about the last decade or so is people are starting to get hip to the fact that the Luddites were right all along.

"Isn't the point of the game that everyone has a good time?" A remarkably bad thing to say to a Packer's fan right now
