cnn: BREAKING -- Iran threatens to block shipment of world's fiesta potato supply through Strait of Hormuz me: (just sold my gaming pc to go all in on Taco Bell stock) shit

someone remind me before he announces ground troops, I need to invest my life savings in Taco Bell. your girl is recession proof

Damn. Maybe he really has that dog in him to hit an 80% disapproval rate.

sports engagement bait : if you couldn't be a fan of your team, which team would you rather be a fan of?

lately when I use the YouTube app on my TV i’ve started saying stuff like, “computer! show me, pedro martínez 1999 strikeouts. on screen”

This is a huge MAGA theme: “Because I committed this crime for partisan reasons, any response to my partisan crime is also axiomatically partisan.”

One thing Trump has successfully done is cowed a lot of people into thinking they can't call for meaningful accountability for him and his cronies because it would be "revenge" or "political" and therefore illegitimate. Absolutely essential to reject that

MAGA org announces it will work for the third time to ensure Democrats lose the presidency to fascists: www.thebulwark.com/p/how-big-is...

one thing about arsenal is, I can never figure out when they're supposed to be playing. is it just me or do you hear a lot less about premier league in the USA than you used to

Did you know that there is one group of Americans who are not entitled to birthright citizenship? People born American Samoa are classified instead simply as “U.S. nationals” — and as a result they cannot vote or run for office anywhere else in the country. Much more here, for anyone curious:

the assumption that future presidents will "enjoy" the ballroom is staggeringly arrogant, first off. i'm not-enjoying it already

how is it six games in and the season is over. baseball is crazy

everyone was easily able to imagine "space trucker" but no one was brave enough to conceive of "space office drone." oh boy it's 1300 hours time for my Sweetgreen ration at my space desk while playing fantasy spaceball

learning that astronauts have to use microsoft outlook in space is unspeakably depressing. we have set microsoft outlook free from the bounds of earth. polluting the stars with that janky piece of shit

What a fucking shot holy shit

The lowest possible form of "journalism" is this shtick where we call up a Democratic politician and ask them if they condemn this, condemn that, condemn up, down, all around. It doesn't matter, won't matter, didn't matter with Mamdani, won't matter with Ossoff. Smart of him not to reply at all.

on any given issue, there's the right thing to do, and then there's the thing that the united states of america decides to do as a matter of law and policy for 50-200 years, which is something almost entirely unrelated

save me solar hockey stick of hope...

saying "24 is a racist TV show" as a highschooler while it was airing is the crucible that made me who i am today

I'm not trying to be pedantic here; the language matters. Children of immigrants are not some special, weird category of citizens; they owe their citizenship to the same thing that the vast majority of the rest of us do. That's the point!

Adam means that she is the daughter of immigrants, but it is worth emphasizing that *every* U.S. citizen who has not been naturalized is a birthright citizen, either by the 14th Amendment or by statute.

every one of these guys would be the hugest loser you've ever met if there wasn't a massive makework program for men willing to act on their most sadistic impulses in this country

WMATA is better than your city's transit system, i fear

I'm rewatching 24 and seriously think it's a foundational text of Qanon. Govt traitors at the highest levels and terrorists in secret bunker gunfights. Obviously it's too liberal but it posits a world where you could suddenly be in a gunfight with iranian sleeper cell cartel terrorists at any moment

i think at some point during the mission trump is going to realize artemis II is another apollo 10 and get mad they're not touching down and if we're lucky no one will stop him from tweeting about how the astronauts are losers

Astronauts watching from the moon when the nukes kick off next week

so that's what that unidentifiable white object next to my living room photos was... i've been wondering

i've lost count of how many times this administration has directly threatened my (me, my) life since 2017.

So, unfortunately, I have a lot of experience with loved ones with cognitive decline. This is what people with cognitive decline sound like at 9 pm.

i'm taking this one way back

all timer banger

the jazz memorabilia in NMAAHC are amazing. they have one of Bird's saxophones

the CIA posts stuff like this so you can feel like you're part of the ruling class by purchasing a pair of $150 loafers off eBay instead of asking for affordable housing, free healthcare, and better working conditions

take it from a longtime DC bargoer -- any bar that Republican staffers feel comfortable at is a corny shit fucking bar

they're gonna do it with a long line of guys with shovels. don't drop the rock !!!

in case you, like me, were wondering why NASA is suddenly focused on making the solar system safe for capital: Yep, you have Trump to blame

i think you say "mission to the moon" to anybody, they're going to assume at least orbit if not landing. it's not the same as saying "mission to Pluto" because the latter is expected to be a probe and the public don't really care about probes flyby vs landing. if it's astronauts, be specific

This is a real gut punch. Connecticut is, if anything, the nexus of women's basketball (see: UConn and their amazing record and popularity). And the Connecticut Sun kept filling the stands even at an arena that's very much in the middle of nowhere. Sad day. #WNBA www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Congratulations to Tittybar Frittata, billionaire Trump administration appointee and new owner of the former Connecticut Sun, for finding another thing he can make a lot of money off of while not doing any actual work whatsoever

nothing makes me feel this one more than getting in a hot car which has been left in the sun all day

As I wrote for @msnewsdesk.bsky.social, the Supreme Court ruling on conversion therapy “did more than revive a discredited practice that harms children. It advanced a broader project: erasing transgender people from public life.” Check out my piece and let me know what you think. #SCOTUS

Soto On third with one out

Anyway, Roman is also being built by military contractors and it's important to be honest about that -- every space telescope has military contractor involvement because the powerful have yet to imagine/desire a space program that isn't integrated with the military industrial complex

People can stay mad at me for saying this but if I drive in a circle around a place, I did not actually go to that place. I drove around it. And it’s an odd bit to say people are going to the moon. And it’s definitely propaganda! Don’t participate! We don’t need to lie about it! It’s a flyby! 🔭

We really are doing The Expanse timeline huh

remember re: civil military relations and the death of professionalism: they started it

I think the red sox will suck for at least the next 20 games. they forgot how to play baseball suddenly.

MELIE KERR 179* AND NEW ZEALAND CHASE DOWN 347. That is one of the best games of cricket you will ever see.
