"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

This was the entirety of my twenties oh god

The sheer number of these really makes the bit

Do not “show bunt” to me, pervert

Joel Quenneville's return to Chicago last night might be the final time that the Brad Aldrich story is at the forefront of the hockey world's minds. But we should never forget what we're moving on from. My column: www.nytimes.com/athletic/673...

it is never okay to take out your frustration on service people and people who do have low moral character

In the middle of all this the inflatable costume crowd has arrived and is throwing a rave? Mosh? At the end of the free speech zone closest to the ICE facility.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

bro why is a sovereign nation crashing out on here

Devastating to hear about vendors taken at Swap O Rama. Back of the Yards has had no rest for weeks. Every day on assault on immigrants and anyone that is existing while Brown.

*squints at the manosphere* yeah this tracks honestly

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Watching this performance was a glorious start to my morning

Damn what is up with all these Hawks penalties lmao LADS

Make sure to talk to your kids about existential dread

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

Lmao yeah that’s the correct energy from David Simon

I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

Just go ahead and give Teyana Taylor the Oscar; she’s absolutely riveting in One Battle After Another

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Well … Olivia Dean’s new album is great

Elected officials simply CANNOT POST THROUGH IT. That is NOT their JOB.

Crowd chanting, "lick them boots! Lick them boots!" at ISP.

The Garden of Earthly Delights (detail), by Hieronymus Bosch, 1480-1505

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

“Oh no we lost our funding”

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

at least i've never made the mistake of bringing an Ezra Klein to a Ta-Nehisi Coates fight

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

I just think he’s neat

Chaos again, feds tackling protesters at random. They just detained @peoplesfabric.com.

Ugh my fuckin QUEEN

we were meant to live for so much more . half we lost ourselves ?

CHOTINER: So you’re a barber. SWEENEY TODD: Yes sir. CHOTINER: With no repeat customers. TODD: I mean— CHOTINER: And the neighbor cook, Mrs. Lovett? TODD: First-rate cook— CHOTINER: No butchers sell her meat but she’s still got meat pies to sell? TODD: [jumps for lever by Chotiner’s chair]

Better Than Ezra (Klein)

I would love for a single democrat to reckon with the fact that conservatives are not in fact motivated by reasonable concerns. They are — just as they were with ‘concerns’ over blacks and gays and numerous other minorities over the last five decades — motivated by bigotry.

friday night hot take: channing tatum tap number should be just as popular as tom holland umbrella dance

Babe wake UP new Alexandra Petri just dropped

"Let us embrace the know-nothings. Let us honor the neighbor hospitalized after a DIY bleach infusion, yet speaks with the chutzpah of a Nobel-winning immunologist. Let us applaud our uncle, whose chain emails form a cozy copse within a fact-free forest of uncertainty."

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

Honestly a dead heat between D and G for me

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"
