An estranged cousin reached out to me on FB yesterday (boring long-ago family drama) addressing me as “deadname” which was funny bc I deactivated my FB over a decade ago and they clearly hadn’t gotten the memo. Funnier was that someone clued them in and they responded w my correct name, politely.

getting ready to fight the robots

CW: violence This is what they want. These are their intentions. Don’t look away. They are telling us where this is going.

Firing her wouldn’t change the rot that the Ellisons are inflicting on the institution. It will be very funny and deserved though, so I hope they do it.

The Democratic Madison Cawthorn

The door to safety is shut. There is no turning back...

Have Irish people in general picked a join World Cup surrogate yet btw? What do we think of Korea, we're both real into cabbage and were colonised by a brutal oppressor that the West thinks is cutesy and polite

Trump demanding better Iran deal than Obama's is revealing. It shows he's unable to grasp why Iran might be less likely to give him his way, due to his own actions. He doesn't grasp the situation at a fundamental level. Exchange w/ @emilyhorne.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

This is a renaissance painting.

has any man ever been more vindicated? x.com/stuartbuck1/...

Some rare good news.

anyway in honor of pride, italy should give milan and venice back to the french, or really whatever celts are available, or maybe just the trans celts

for a long time i was convinced that whoever came up with "cisgender" as a backformation from "transgender" had been an ancient history nerd as this is more or less the only context where you're learn that "cis" is the opposite of "trans"?

Omg. Want this so badly.

Pleased to say that I did *not* miss an Aortic Dissection today. As per usual, the correct diagnosis was due to a savvy nurse coming to me and saying “you need to come see this person. They don’t look good.”

Bummed for how his career ended. But man, when he had young legs, his highlight reel was simply unbelievable

The point is to make the burdens of proof so onerous that people who truly deserve Medicaid wind up losing their benefits bc of the administrative hassle. That’s the game, always has been.

As a Chicagoan I take some small pleasure that the Chicago skyscraper is labeled the Willis (Sears) Tower. Note: it’s spelled “Willis” but pronounced “Sears”

hmmmm why would the regime stop a **swiss** soccer player from entering ..... oh i see

Pretty clever of Bari to nakedly lie to her staff about the conversation with the journalist with impeccable credibility only to have him immediately call out her lies. This way the staff will absolutely trust and respect her

Loved this episode, I did.

Saw a quote on TT to the effect of “If Christians took their faith as seriously as queer people take their identities, the military would be banning them instead.” Fact Check: True

Hey folks. If you have a 401k it's time to micromanage where your investments actually go

Salieri has dropped out of America 250

Cool cool cool. Nothing to see here

Thinking about Matt Stafford’s back and reminding myself 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘫𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘫𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘫𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 (But it would be the funniest thing ever)

I think it’s actually a win-win. Rams likely get a ring. Browns get a really good young player and another first (which they will squander off, they are the Browns.)

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuuuuck. Good that they had to give up Verse. Even with Verse, one first rounder is criminally low compensation for Garrett.

Pro Bowl QB Russell Wilson, who has an offer to be a backup QB, has elected to accept an offer to join the CBS Sports team for their Sunday pregame show and more, sources say (as Ryan Glasspiegel reported). Wilson may not be retiring, but at least a pause on his playing career.

Average general manager/wide receiver contract negotiation

If we pretend the oil is flowing then it follows that our favorite president, Trump, should be celebrated for his great success against Iran! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I’m just going to say this: Wyna Liu should be in prison for today’s connections.

It’s not great for one’s job security as an analyst to predict complete economic collapse. So the default is “it’ll be fine, maybe 15% worse than we hoped.”

I go up to the counter with my 100+ page binder of documents, and say "hello I would like to get a work permit please :)" the officer looks at my binder, sighs, and says "ugh, I don't want to read all of that" 😨

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

Iran said no straights for pride

whenever i think "i own enough t shirts already" i see something like this

Got bored a few years ago and made Pride Month posts for evil corporations from 80s movies

Brands during Pride Month: 🌈 Amazon: we abuse all of our warehouse workers equally, regardless of gender or sexual orientation 🌈 OpenAI: your gay AI companion may tell you to kill yourself, but it's not because you're a tranny don't worry 🌈 Raytheon: our Tomahawk missiles don't discriminate

I did have to take a second to check that this wasn’t an Onion headline. Because that’s the world we live in now.
