So, I'm watching a WCW compilation tape from '92 and it has the Road Warrior spike angle that got Dusty fired. 🤼‍♂️

like, for example, just say political transphobia isn't a deal breaker for you instead of whining about purity tests

I mean, Jesus was *very clear* on this point: "I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me." Matthew 25:35

This feels like a variant on the Vimes Boot Theory of Economics: stealing a $2 candy bar could get you criminally charged, but stealing $23K of event services will get you months of payment requests and eventual dismissal of your debt: www.syracuse.com/politics/cny...

Seriously, in another world, this website existing would be like one of those scenes in movies where the journalist gets something in on the fax machine, drops their coffee, and races to their editor for an emergency meeting. But it's so public that people reflexively think its not criminal.

If you missed the summit at The Dayton Metro Library, you missed out on an amazing event. All of the speakers including Robin Gow, Lajmar Anderson, and the the gentlemen from BTMOhio were absolutely wonderful.

The summit starts in less than an hour! I hope to see y'all there!

September is National Suicide Precention Month. Join the Dayton Metro Library at Sinclair on Monday, September 8th (#988day) in a screening of 'Wake Up: Stories from the Frontline of Suicide Prevention' followed by a Panel Discussion featuring Brite Signal President Alexandria King.

So, uhh... apparently sooner than later @maroonmeows.bsky.social

@isleofrangoon.bsky.social Hey, guys, long time fan. I hate to bother you guys, but I wasn't sure the best way to reach out. Anyway, if you guys could do something about the glitched up "A Case For Beer" youtube upload, it'd be much appreciated. It's one of my favorites. Thank you! :)

Let’s put this to bed.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms.  But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately. Remember this.

The people saying we are less than 10 years away from real AGI look like a lunatics to anyone who knows what they’re talking about

Charlie Chaplin cuts between a shot of the Statue of Liberty and immigrants on a ship being treated like cattle by American immigration officials in THE IMMIGRANT (1917)

Really roundabout way to say he’s definitely on the Epstein list.

there are a lot of bad things happening but “deranged president thinks that he personally gets to decide if every citizen of the United States gets the rights associated with that citizenship” is actually a big deal these things aren’t conditional on the whims of a madman

Mahmoud Khalil, who was detained for more than three months, argued he was wrongly imprisoned because of support for pro-Palestinian causes on campus.

A 21-year-old Florida man was beaten to death by Israeli settlers while visiting family in the West Bank.

her: what are you thinking about? me: The Whitney Wolverine .22 caliber handgun, produced from 1956 - 1958 by Whitney Firearms Inc.

I tried to show my bf Calamity Jane and he refused to stay awake. What is the appropriate punishment for this crime?

My cat is one of those fake gamer girls I think. She doesn't even know how to read those books. I invite her to join my party, and she obfuscates.

There's a type of Jew who reads "never again" as a statement of convenience, i.e. "glad that won't happen again" instead of what it was always meant to be: a promise that we won't *let* it happen again. Now it's happening again, and so many seem to think "Nuh-uh, I said the magic word so it can't"

Please remember that there are bots on here created specifically to engage in unpleasant contrariness

The American Jewish community does not have an org we can rely on to accurately track, educate on, and combat antisemitism at the moment. The ADL has sacrificed us for Zionism. And declaring even “free Palestine” as antisemitic has muddied the convo so much the damage is awful

How the fuck do you get to be the richest man in the world and also the most insecure man in the world?

"anti-woke" furries say the fandom is going to die as convention attendance is growing at an insane rate and smaller cons are growing even more

Really can’t overstate how much this moment in time is just large swaths of the population constructing fantasy worlds in their imaginations and then building their entire political identity around it

He's saying the families are evil for asking why their kids are dead. If you wondered why Trump has embraced 'religion' recently, it's not just because he thinks they're easy marks for a grift but he can blame God for shit and say it's out of my hands

*sighing, pulling out the sign to tap*

FEMA’s response to the deadly Texas floods was likely slowed by cost-cutting measures enacted by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, at the behest of DOGE. Noem must personally approve every contract and grant over $100K, hampering FEMA’s ability to quickly deploy resources. “Efficiency.”

Billie Jean King has done so much for tennis, women's tennis, and women's sports. The US Open has provided equal prize money for men and women since 1972 because of her efforts. Today, 2 of the top 5 highest paid tennis players are women, 4 of the top 10 (both prize money & endorsements).

It is based on racism. Got it. (Not that I doubted that before.)

Polling continues to support the view that the opposition party has been more effective in helping move public opinion than the conventional wisdom would have you think

Cursed as I am with fluency in Hebrew, I have seen some attempts to justify the murders at aid sites. The argument boils down to "soldiers fire warning shots to control crowd movement and sometimes they hit people." That is the best genocide fans can muster: admitting utter disregard for human life.

Fwiw, Yaccarino is a Trump supporter and appears to be adopting one of his preferred strategies: fail miserably and declare it a YUUUGE success, success like no one’s seen before, the biggest success, many say!

I had a conversation with a fact checker about whether ICE is going to be the “largest law enforcement agency” after this new funding binge, and there’s a reason I’m using the phrase “highest-funded” instead; the NYPD is so massive they have more officers than ICE and Border Patrol combined.

Friday mood

DOGE fucking around with the FSA is legitimately a worst-case scenario for Trump, for farmers, and for us. They're running a risk of killing a shit ton of small businesses and messing with the food supply.

Thank you Rep. Espaillat for joining this campaign for an affordable NYC and for fighting Trump's authoritarianism in DC. Adriano and I know that the only way we can protect this city is by standing firm in our values and standing up for working class and immigrant New Yorkers.

#25Years...#OnThisDay in 2000: The start of the 2-week-long (July 11-25) summit at Camp David with #Israeli PM Ehud Barak, #PLO/PA's Yasser Arafat and President Clinton michaellewisonline.substack.com/p/marking-25... #CampDavidSummit

I wish all of my nonbinary friends relief from back pain

This guy is hands down the worst congressional Democrat of my lifetime. Can’t get worse than this.

people discovering that age verification laws are bad, privacy-invasive nightmares that chill speech and intimidate adults from participating online

So surreal to find out like this; I worked with him for the little while I was an AE for Pokémon 10+ years ago. He wasn't just a voice actor, he also wrote all of the English script adaptations. Really sweet guy, RIP buddy
