Arabic doesn’t have a standardized spelling 🤷🏻‍♀️

Late 40s or early 50s. Billy Graham + Cold War "enemies everywhere" paranoia + rich people underwriting prosperity gospel = spiritual crisis

Your twenties are a hell of a drug.

Goldy would have earned more but he spent most of January and February patrolling for ICE as an integral part of his neighborhood rapid response group.

Tanking is not nearly the problem people think it is, but if you REALLY want to go after the problem, you need to give the teams financial incentives to win. A simple idea: at the beginning of each season, every team puts $15.5M into a pot. The best record gets $30M, second best $29M, and so on.

I'm aware that all kinds of science are hard, etc etc but sometimes I swear to god that people have no idea how intensely difficult social science is compared to lab science because "laboratory conditions" literally do not exist.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

Behold our beautiful and brave colleague, murdered today! You know the drill, unfortunately, so… Say his name: Mohammed Wishah, Al Jazeera reporter, killed today in Gaza. US-Israel has assassinated nearly 300 journalists in Palestine, Lebanon and Iran in just 2 years. إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

So... We're all just going to work today and pretending nothing happened?

bugs bunny would wipe the floor with Q from star trek

Important to remember that 15 mins ago we were on the brink of World War III, global collapse and potential nuclear Armageddon and not a single person from either party in the federal government did a single fucking thing to stop it. He got cold feet of his own volition. They didn't lift a finger.

If Trump doesn't destroy Iran, he should be removed from office for merely making the threat. If he does, he and everyone involved, from the pilots and technicians delivering the weapons to everyone in the cabinet who went along with it, should at a minimum be executed.

genuinely think people outside of America don't realize how big this place is, how militarized and murderous our police are, how little our politicians care, how disconnected and impoverished we have been intentionally made to be, how we still have slavery just with extra steps. we really suck gang

This disassociaton you are feeling right now, having to go about your day as the world is collapsing, is what the Twin Cities have been feeling all year. There is a simple cure for it: get involved. 1/2

Important reminder, especially today

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.

Wild that this is only the second time that a spaceship with people aboard has gone to the moon outside of the Nixon administration

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

There is a path. It’s the path that Michael Vick walked. He has worked with the Humane Society for the last 17 years to educate folk about animal cruelty. He says he’ll do that work for the rest of his life. Call me when Louis or Kanye devotes even one weekend to making reparation.

This is the closest we've been to nuclear war since...when? The Reagan assassination attempt? Nixon's impeachment? The Cuban Missile Crisis?

It just occurred to me that, thanks to Trump's stupid desperation at self-aggrandizement that is the Artemis II (which I dearly love, if we're going to throw money away, this is infinitely better than the Iran War), SpaceX is cut off at the knees. And that makes me happy.

When the Germans finally took my family's village in Greece in 1944, they lined up every man between 6 and 80 next to the church and shot them while the women watched. This feels like that.

UCLA WINS IT

i want to thank the neighborhood brass band for playing "war pigs" when we turned the kids loose for the easter egg hunt yesterday

Easter sermon began with a lengthy discussion of how life-giving and holy this image is lmao

One thing that has been increasingly true over the past decade is that there is a divide between what regular folks think and what the elite think. "Both sides will move past it" is true at the elite level but js absolutely not true for regular folks.

Their last $100m fundraising round was led by Bain Capital. Brock Pierce's crypto VC firm was an early investor. This is not a virtuous bunch.

April Fools posts are fine, but they should be deleted the day after

Making art is only sometimes fun and only occasionally rewarding, but it is always worthwhile and satisfying

This is NOT what I signed up for

Really excited for this off-season when the Wolves panic trade every non-Ant player with a pulse on the roster for Giannis and end up missing the playoffs next season

Thank you for your attention to this matter

Good April Fools' bit

There's one trait where economists clearly outperform the other social sciences: Hubris.

Lore accurate

I don't know what SCOTUS will do on birthright citizenship case, it's anybody's guess. But if they endorse Trump's diktat, the only response is defiance. Outright, open defiance by the states. A decision not just erroneous but illegitimate, beyond their power, null and void from the day it's issued.

I spent two years managing a team of three people; it was awful. If you think filling out your own employee review is bad, try writing one for someone who works for you

Every time I hear men talk about destroying this planet so they can travel to a dead one, I think about how miraculous the existence of Earth is, and how capitalists should never be permitted to make decisions about space exploration.

A hot take I have that I strongly feel is correct is that Luigi Mangioni has saved more lives than he took

Yelling at people it is their moral duty to vote and that they are bad people for not doing so is bad politics

It's my answer every time for this: National identity is, with some exceptions, more modern than the steam engine.

It’s in Saint Paul but that’s fine. Surrounding suburbs always get called the city name by out-of-state folks
