the fact that leveraged buyouts exist at all is a truly stunning example of "capitalist market efficiency". no change to the core business nor new means of making revenue, except now it has 20 billion in debt because Reasons. what a system

LMAO

The people who decided season-ending ties should be decided based on a hierarchy of tiebreakers rather than in an actual ballgame do not like baseball. Some of my best baseball memories involve Game 163, watching two teams who 6 months haven’t separated play just 9 more innings for everything.

He’s a MANIAC

This is the strangest home run you're ever going to see and it could only happen at Fenway

Sark do it

if you're not from or have never been to new york i cannot stress enough how normal the subway is 99% of the time. kids take it to school. everyone is basically chill. you learn to be in proximity with harmless weirdos or minor irritations pretty quick. for all its issues it's an incredible thing

Great sentences can be really long sentences, see Jimmy Breslin’s profile of Joe Namath. It’s maybe one of my favorite sentences ever. But it’s gotta be going somewhere, it’s gotta be doing something. nymag.com/news/sports/...

Mercer County, at least east of the Keith Line (the line that separated East And West Jersey in colonial times, from the Burlington/Ocean border up to the southern Hunterdon/Somerset border) belongs with Greater New York. otherwise this map makes sense to me

if you can't sell the american public on the idea that federal troops in the streets is fundamentally unacceptable then you have no business being in politics. and if you do not forcibly believe this at your core such that you can't shut up about it, that goes double for you

lmao this is probably what happened

i believe that short form video is maybe one of the worst things people have ever come up with and it should be regulated at least as much as cigarettes

say hello to the new college of florida in manhattan

it will cost them so, so, so much more money than if they'd just kept NBCSN on the air with a skeleton crew. sincerely, we are all smarter than the extremely rich people who make decisions like this

gold dust woman

paul mccartney in get back

had a really fun time making this one, some of my dumbest transitions yet. huge, huge thanks to the legendary @jonbois.bsky.social who graciously contributed some amazing graphics work on this

It is becoming more and more indisputable that HBO's HARRY POTTER is not underpinned by a solid business case and instead exists primarily to provide a pretext to "neutrally" mention Joanne Rowling in the news and, insofar as it can generate revenue, to funnel it directly to her activist work

Democrats believe focusing on any specific issue is a "trap." Exceptions are made only when they can come out in agreement with Republicans on an issue. They are a party that stands for nothing, whose only responsibility is to their donor class.

back in february i rode the new york city subway at 3 am and i was fine. sean duffy is a coward

I used to hold this opinion. The Beatles are underrated. The ~fuss~ can't be understood without examining the context of postwar Britain and the way Beatlesmania shook it into a new era. Then they said "fuck that mop top shit" and rejected everything that made them marketable. And they slayed.

There’s no reason to have a Democratic Party if it won’t go to the mat to save the Department of Education. It’s a fundamental belief that children in America deserve better futures. It’s tremendously simple. You cannot continue funding a government that would close this.

too chickenshit to say anything about mahmoud khalil on bluesky. stuck his frothing zionism on twitter where it could get praise from like-minded warmongers. fuck you chuck

jesus christ

???

what

a democratic senator and members of the board at the university aided and abetted mahmoud khalil's arrest

not the first time a cop is upset someone that was wrongfully arrested did not have a gun on them and is pretending they did

lame as hell and evil

jfc

it came back online for me, but in the middle of watching a video it went down again lol

it's over

twitter seems to be down. annoying

Man.

Hating from outside the club. sad!

Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it? What if we also sometimes gave you egregiously wrong information? And what if it cost a billion dollars? Still not interested? It's mandatory

Someone should do something.

Yeah, “whoever controls the treasury controls the government” is such an unheard of concept that only a genius could think of that it was the first fucking thing Henry I did in 1100 after his brother William II Rufus died

Democrats will often look at something that doesn’t poll well and think “oh no, better move away from that!” but they’re getting their role backwards. parties influence public opinion. if you’re purely reactive, you’re just letting the GOP frame every debate.

Josh Posting has not made the leap over here.. this place might be cooked

SCULLY: that's the 3rd nightclub fire this week MULDER: get this—911 call describes a woman "fire burning on the dancefloor" SCULLY: you think she set the fire? MULDER: Scully I think she *was* the fire. Certain Jamaican folk songs describe a woman with a body of flame, born once every 100 years

RETVRN

not that impressive tbh

The Big Bopper fandom is dying!!! Repost to your feed if you aren’t afraid to say “Hello, baby!”

need tickets to one of the taylor swift/paramore show in liverpool in june of next year along with tickets to one of the mets-phillies games in london the weekend before so badly

continued playing Control a little while ago, will probably play some more later. great game, but my one complaint as of now is that save points are frustratingly brutal. wish they'd change that

even though he's a scab, i've ended my hiatus from watching jeopardy tonight because ken jennings is a million times better as host than mayim bialik. i can't stand her mannerisms, such as her long pauses and general lack of knowledge about the clues. so glad he's back
