Fast train to Lyon = fast-train envy.

Turned a corner. Looked left. Whatdoyouknow.

This is so spot-on it’s scary.

Sunset.

My takes on the most underrated and most overlooked Vikings players both made it into this Mark Craig piece in the Star Tribune. Skol!

I grew up in a dog family back when winters were real-ass WINTERS. None of our dogs needed coats save for the ones they grew on their goddamn own. Every dog gets a trophy. Oh—and stay off my lawn.

The core far-right conspiracy theory about January 6 has for years been that law enforcement set the Proud Boys up. What do you know? It was exactly the opposite. Law enforcement was in fact trying to help them. As ever, take whatever the far right is saying, reverse it, and you have actual reality.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Cleo.

The Cuban, French and Russian revolutions were all started by the middle class. Because any dissenters from the Working Class got executed long before they could start a revolution.

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

You are about to see a feeding frenzy in the USA as anything and everything is sold off to the billionaires for almost nothing. When they are done there will be nothing left, and you will find out how truly evil Capitalism can be.

Major downside of your lifelong fave team playing relevant games late in the season: Tom Brady gets assigned to work them. Never have wished more that Vikings v. Green Bay were on CBS.

Waste of time? Time will tell.

A government of rich people is going to govern primarily in rich people’s interests until the not-rich depose them. We have a few years or if we’re lucky decades then before the not-rich making up the new gov’t become rich and the cycle begins again. It’s pretty fucking simple.

With these supposedly universal, ISO-approved symbols taking over for, y’know, words!, one needs two motherfucking Ph.Ds in iconography and five reference texts to wash and dry one’s goddamn clothes. And don’t get me started on these new headlights that borrow their candlepower from the sun.

WATCH: “I believe they did that because what we’re doing is having an effect… They're being petty. But that's not going to stop us. Amazon warehouse in Queens, NY gushes water out onto the striking workers' picket line in below freezing temperatures. (H/T @btnewsroom.bsky.social )

This is quite a report about Rep. Kay Granger, whose last vote was six months, ago, found to be living in memory care. The Dallas Express seems to have nailed it, despite no official confirmation from the congresswoman or her staff. dallasexpress.com/tarrant/excl...

Three new rules to make the NBA watchable: • Teams are allowed only 21 points via the three-point shot. After that, all shots beyond the arc count for an old-fashioned two points. • Teams can call only only one timeout in the last 5 min. • Fouls in the last 5 min. = 3 shots from the line for all

It feels like syllabi creation and final course grading has become a giant exercise in CYA. Litigation culture.

Worst color commentator working the NFL is working this afternoon’s late game. I guess it’s football to a backing soundtrack provided by Jazz 88.5.

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent. Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.

Scrambled eggs are a good meal spoiled.

What motherfucking bullshit. Who’s got a pitchfork? I have a street. Let’s organize.

Same old Timberwolves. Guess last year was the blip.

If you’re a big enough boy or girl to roll in an SUV, you’re damn well big enough to own AND USE a tool that clears the snow from the top of it. Didn’t your parents teach you fucking anything?

As I've been saying: Rise in RTO mandates is a sign that the labor market is softening. RTO is effectively a backdoor pay cut, which firms would not do unless they thought workers had less bargaining power (and/or are trying to reduce headcount) www.businessinsider.com/att-5-days-o...

every single elected democrat should be posting like this

The Wall Street stuff everybody uses the measure “the economy” is simply a measure of greed, is that subjective, one-of-the-seven-deadlies converted into the quantitative. That’s what the business model does: makes the qualitative quantitative so that it may control it for the ends of profit.

Time to break out this meme

"It's emblematic not only of the party’s gerontocracy but of its tendency to treat powerful positions as a kind of renumeration for loyalty, longevity, and legacy—often at the expense of the party’s best interests."

One of my favorite parts of Ministry for the Future was the abolition of the billionaires. Just to be that rich makes you an enemy of democracy. Wrote early this year:

One of the easiest ways to turn a Gen Z member into an inert Blob-esque (they don’t know the reference) blob of unthinking material: Tell them you can’t Zoom or Face Time, but would be happy to talk on the phone.

Who here agrees? 🖐🏾

I see the Dems kneecapped AOC and are planning on Kamala in 2028 to make things right. Me, I can’t hold my nose and assent anymore.

Everyone in this picture would be able to walk if the polio vaccine had existed in time for them.

It is universally accepted that physical differences among humans is a thing. We can’t all be pro athletes. Biology determines that. But our brains are biological things, too. Yet somehow we collectively retain the myth that all minds are capable of competing at the professional level.

yea and also i'm not really questioning any of these premises or conclusions

Think I’m goin to legally change my name to “Anon.” With the period.

Yikes, .8-3” of sinking, 2016-2023.“Globally, similar subsidence within such a large area has never been reported…this could be a sign that rising sea levels [are] accelerating the erosion of the limestone on which South Florida is built.” www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

Campbell’s witty response to this homophobe makes me want to enjoy some of their delicious chicken noodle soup right now! 🍜 🏳️‍🌈

It’s time to fiddle, mofos. Rome writ large is burning and those with the gear to put it out are counting their ducats like Thurston Howell III and Lovey. Fiddle and dance, fiddle and dance till death do.

Anger at the failure of neoliberalism to deliver a decent standard of living for working class families has led many to seek simplistic solutions from Brexit to Trump. How long before people recognise the real problem is the capitalist system itself? Some thoughts: www.facebook.com/share/p/19bR...
