What an image

There’s nothing wrong with Haitians! I’m getting sick of this state enforced bigotry & violence against them just like I’ve long been sick of the US sabotaging them at every turn with its imperialism. This is the world’s first Black republic! A proud free people you’d be honored to know some of.

When a DC resident was handcuffed for playing the "Imperial March" from Star Wars while walking behind National Guard troops, @aclu-dc.bsky.social sued. The partial settlement in this case is a win for free speech. We get to mock the government however we want.

This should resolve the gorilla vs 100 people debate

Sean Duffy using the term “libtard” when he has a child with Down syndrome is a good example that what we are dealing with is with people with no shame, dignity, ethics, or loyalties. All they see is power and money.

I wish he could’ve been known as “The Wicked Pitch of the West.”

To mark the occasion of Miles Davis' centennial, trumpeter Keyon Harrold put on a concert at Carnegie Hall and shared a candid conversation about the legend with Christian McBride. n.pr/3SxfDTB

The way they are uncritically reporting this blatant obvious lie is proof that the mainstream media is long past any hope of redemption

Mac Jones: out here living his best life this summer

that's now! We'll be on for the hour.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

this is rude as fuck lmao

Pierce says he's motivated by the "ticking clock of mortality" — and the desire to challenge himself as an actor. He's currently starring in the Shakespeare Theatre Company production of Othello. n.pr/4vsXVz2

Basically the same as being a high school teacher since Covid hit

Since he's returned to office Trump has attacked the Smithsonian as "out of control" where everything discussed "is how horrible our country is, how bad slavery was." Lonnie Bunch has been the person who has put himself between Trump and the Smithsonian. This is the story of his work to protect it.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

If Trump were a Democrat, one reaction we could expect is from conservative Christian leaders who describe America as a sick country in need of healing, or some such. Thing is, we can still tell that story, but it with liberals telling it. America *wanted* Trump. Why? Because our country is sick.

Imagine Biden starting a war for no reason and then sending Hunter to settle it. I’m sure the media would have been very chill about that.

More days like this. Please and thank you.

we're super incompetent as a chanting and singing fanbase but Livin' on a Prayer may work

There is an active propaganda campaign to convince you that Oakland is dangerous and broken, and it is 1000000% a power grab by VC and corporate landlords money to convince you progressive policies make you unsafe.

Brutal unforced error

Mamdani's speech at the Knicks parade was easily the best I've ever heard at an event of that sort. I posted the whole thing on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Highly recommended.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

The U.S. returned a man convicted of financial fraud to the presidency — whereupon he appears to have orchestrated, on multiple occasions now, the fraudulent misuse of federal funds. Who could see this coming?

We’ve entered the “Where’s Wallace, String?” portion of this administration.

Check this out from the wonderful @aelang.bsky.social

Sorry been busy drawing has anything else happened

These grass World Cup fields inside NFL stadiums are great. Too bad NFL owners won't do this for ... checking this ... their own players.

Honestly pretty incredible to watch the women on The View call out JD Vance’s lies more times in two minutes than I’ve seen White House press do in several years

It‘s still amazing to me that 77 million Americans voted for this obvious con artist.

🧵1/3 Thousands of educational filmstrips are deteriorating faster than they can be digitized. 🎞️ Archivist Mark O'Brien explains why preserving these overlooked materials has become a race against time. 📚 Read the essay in VANISHING CULTURE from the #InternetArchiveL archive.org/details/vani...

Reposting this in case you missed it yesterday! 4000 words about quantum superposition and the ambiguity of horror and John Carpenter’s broken systems.

Boutros again.

So it's official. A legendary VFX wizard has passed away. 😞 Thunderbirds, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Space: 1999, The Empire Strikes Back, Alien, Aliens, Space Truckers, Moon Zero Two, Dragonslayer, DragonHeart, The Neverending Story... Brian Johnson has brought many sci-fi & fantasy dreams to life.

This is what the American World Cup should’ve been the whole time, a celebration of our diasporas, a chance for all these countries from around the world to feel at home here because there’s a bit of their home already here

There should be a point where you are so offside you’re onside again and the goal counts

Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later

One year ago today, Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were senselessly murdered in an act of political violence. In their memory, we recommit ourselves to the values that Melissa and Mark exemplified: building a kinder, more just, and loving world.

Mitch McConnell will receive a level of medical care he has spent his entire career preventing other Americans from having

This from @grantbrisbee.bsky.social on the Giants Pride Night situation is worth your time today.

It’s not hyperbole that part of what kept the queer liberation movement going in the Reagan era was the partying part of the “bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and dance at night” schedule. Without joy there is no air left to fight
