Don't think I've ever felt this embarrassed to be an American. There's shame and anger too. But mostly embarrassment. We're the laughingstock of the developed world. And we should be.

I wish today’s failed rapture would cause a shred of introspection within the Evangelical community, but few groups in the history of the world are so convinced of their own rightness.

It’s that tiiiiiiiiiiime again! Women of West St. Paul is launching a flash mobilization of our annual pad drive. Period poverty is pervasive and a need in food shelves nationwide. Neighbors, Inc. needs US. In fact, they came and asked if we could help, because we get it done.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Fun fact: GWAR spoke out against the defunding of orgs like PBS. Lead singer Mike Bishop, who holds a PhD in music, stopped in the middle of a show to point out that defunding public institutions is horrible and said it'd lead to worse. Dude was not wrong.

we’re gonna get some prominent person’s leaked AI fuck chats and I would like to opt out of that discourse now

I realize clear-and-obvious is the review standard in soccer rather than football, but good heavens, if it takes you 5 min to see if a ball wiggled, just stick with your original call and move on.

Quote from Man Shot "What are you gonna do, shoot me?"

One thing that authoritarian governments rely on is making people feel alone, wholly reliant on the state to tell them what to do, think, and feel. Seeing polls like this should hearten you: the general public is not falling for the Trump admin's lies. In fact, they're seeing through them.

Hey, did you guys know Frank Turner's Positive Songs for Negative People is a really good album?

Two game changing failures by VAR so far. Clear pen for the knee to Yeboah’s hammy (that knocked him out the game). Clear red for Bukari missed. What is the VAR even doing there? #MNUFC

This ref is an ASS CLOWN

I’ve got one spot by me!

HEADS UP! We’re moving the march start to the northwest corner of the great lawn. Still at 6:30, still bringing all the noise you can muster, just slightly closer to the stadium. @mndarkclouds.bsky.social @redloons.bsky.social @mnufc.com

🎶Tonight, tonight, we're marching in tonight With shouts and songs and drums for our Loons Tonight, tonight, we'll bring the hype tonight We won't stop, til we sing Wonderwall 🎶

“The study found that about 7% of US adults have been present at the scene of a mass shooting in their lifetime, and more than 2% have been injured during one.”

what I really like about this video is that the recommended practice isn't "log off forever" which, while obviously good advice, is not something I'll be doing it's "if you get angry from seeing something on social media, log off" I think that's implementable

Whole lotta people finna learn today that this isn’t Zach Galifianakis

This is so important. It’s easy to mistake their threats about ending and persecuting liberal orgs as a sign of strength, when it’s anything but. Their current actions are a sign of the weakness, stress, and strain afflicting their movement and their political efforts. Nothing is inevitable.

Worked with a lobbyist years ago who told me "That's the problem with [the political left], you think about how policy CAN be used not how it WILL be misused." It killed me at the time, but he's 100% right.

Look, I get that breaking news is hard and I have a HUGE amount of grace for stories that need to evolve. But these are basic mistakes: 1) Lake & Stevens isn't remotely Uptown, it's not even LynLake 2) Why not mention the shooting by Cristo Rey? It's far more relevant than the Annunciation.

I'm not saying I told you so, but I told you so #MNUFC

Sick of these ACC home games finishing after midnight.

So, no, this is not real life.

TRIANTIS???????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???????? #MNUFC

Is this real life? #MNUFC

SET PIECE FC, LET'S GOOOOOOOOO! #MNUFC

Tori Penso is almost certainly the best ref in MLS, but this has not been her best night.

I cannot fathom Gritty willingly entering into a situation where he was anything but wholly unfettered. Not a chance. Alf would be though, 100%

Every pundit article: BLUESKY IS A HOTBED OF RADICALIZATION Majority of posts in my feed: Check out this cool bug/bird/random historical personage I found! Small but vivid minority of posts: Do you think Gritty and Alf are in a polycule or nah?

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

I get what Notre Dame going for with the Golden Dome helmets, but they look like you might be able to unwrap them to find chocolate inside.

What a great day for my Ramblin’ Wreck

Every outlet covering any of this stuff needs to have somebody who actually knows conservative American religion and somebody who actually knows weird conservative internet shit. See in here how they not just overlap, but also collide

I watched this in high school, and it felt so fresh and real then, which I chalked up later to my being, you know, a high schooler. A couple years ago, I pulled up the script to grab the context around the famous quote and it still felt the exact same way. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

The funniest part of this is that the rest of the world sees it for exactly what it is. If anything, this will only make Lula and the Brazilian government more popular and entrench their power.

In June, a Democratic state rep in Minnesota was murdered, and a state senator was shot. And a couple of days later, Trump said he wouldn't phone Gov. Walz, calling him "whacked out" and "a mess"

@stlcitysc.com apparently is pro-childhood cancer?

This is it 100%. It's the equivalent of Roger Goodell showing up at the WH to hang with Trump. This is a group who doesn't watch sports or understand sports and doesn't partake in sports they just hate black and brown people and women and like to express those opinions on social media.

I have written this cursed phrase again

Cannot wait for #MNUFC to go up a goal on the road in the playoffs and roll this bad boy out to kill off the final 63 minutes of the game:

LIVE FROM NEW YORK...

Just submitted my application for @bsky.app's senior comms role, which would be a dream job. I feel really good about my chances, but not if @jcsalterego.bsky.social's also applies. I'm a poster at heart, but true mastery like his is yet beyond me.

Just to be clear, BLS is currently being run by a trustworthy career civil servant and BLS rank and file staff literally said yesterday that nothing is being messed with. Skepticism over this revision is entirely unjustified to the point of disinformation (though that may not be true for long).

Holy crap, Lin-Manuel Miranda is singing on the new @themountaingoats.bsky.social single???

An infant with whooping cough is one of the most horrible things you will see. The antivax movement is evil.

Not to brag but I don't need a wearable chat bot to shit talk me all day because my brain came with that feature pre-installed
