The beauty of sports is you can just decide at any point “I give a shit about this now. Against all reason.” Ten minutes later you hate one of the teams more than life and it’s all downhill from there.

the previous world cup was literally built with slave labor, get fucked

Shot and chaser. Maybe don’t be sarcastic (the most charitable read of the behavior I can give) in the mentions of my statement about FIFA allowing multiple players with SA allegations into the tournament, about “how’s that different from any other men’s tournament”. 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

Happy birthday to Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes! Born on July 5, 1958.

Mood.

I was… unaware that they fucking drove across the coating. 😩

I never got the Navi hate. Though I will say tweaking her to tell you to take a break in the 3DS version DID piss me off but that wasn’t her fault.

Happy Fourth of July from Willie and me!

Okay anyway, I’m knitting.

Apropos of nothing, I keep thinking about that dude that got struck by lightning HERE IN THE PORTLAND METRO because he couldn’t get off the golf course quick enough.

Sometimes if people want to get hit by lightning you just let them

for obvious reasons I am increasingly 😑 about this compared to when we started going 17 years ago, but this year they played a Dolly Parton version so I decided I was willing to take off my floopy straw hat and pledge allegiance to Dolly (though I did NOT stand)

NO. NO!!!

oh it just got WIMDY

I keep seeing ads for this thing on Instagram and I’m simultaneously tempted and revolted (and also assume it’s quality is shit)

Everybody look at Sandal.

I’m pretty bummed that the major American milestone during my lifespan (given how I’ll be frankly lucky to make it to 88 years old) had to be run by a fucking ancient fascist who’s busy shitting his pants at the Resolute Desk while his lackeys run around with their own nasty assed agendas.

average rugby player after receiving literally bone-crunching tackle: bit of a hard one there average football player after being lightly brushed: alack! alack sir, I die! I perish! foully slain! cut down in my youth by the cruel scythes of evil men!

Finished this today, perfect timing if you ask me. Frustrating, crushing, but ultimately hopeful. Well worth the time.📚 @ibramxk.bsky.social

ive seen some folks lately talkin on NEGATIVE REVIEWS and how to deal with them as authors or artists. personally i have not cared about reviews for several decades. negative reviews do not bother me in the slightest and buds often ask me HOW. ill explain a bit here and why this applies to everyone

I wake up from a nap and we are apparently arguing over whether we're allowed to cheer for our national soccer team? yes, next question

I like my chances against Mike Rogers😊

I wrote about the Supreme Court's latest disgusting anti-trans ruling. I wrote about it because I refuse to act like taking away constitutional rights and allowing legal discrimination is okay just because it's happening to people who don't poll well in a diner in Ohio. In @thenation.com

I bought one. I’ve wanted a dick20 for AGES, perfect opportunity.

If you want to make the world a better place, you (yes, you!) are going to need to sacrifice a little sometimes. You’re going to need to pay taxes, you’re going to need to turn the A/C down you’re going to need to be a little less comfortable sometimes. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying to you.

I just got myself up to speed on the Claire Willett Schism Watch and AM READY. @clairewillett.bsky.social

I went in the crawl space to find my hopes and one or two dreams. They were there, holding court with the rats and the bugs.

I’m about to become a Ja Morant defender with the way some people are talking about him, I tell you what.

the people who would usually be on the mall are just on the museum lawns and stuff

people apparently don't recognize that manufacturers would develop AC units that would work with e.g. common tilt-turn windows if European countries developed a healthy market for them and laws allowing them. The box form factor designed for sash windows is convenient but not the *only one possible*

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

Oh thank god I am glad that he’s staying he was an excellent compliment to Clingan. Glad the rumor mill was wrong.

Today is pretty shit, so I’m gonna deploy some good things. Here’s my dog.

Oh boy NPR has *retracted* the Samuel Alito retirement story. This is a catastrophic error.

Okay I need to lie down

So according to the folks on the scene in SCOTUSBlog's chat, "The PIO just checking with Nina in the broadcast booth and Nina says this is a mistake and they are taking it down."

Wait wait wait they’re retracting? The fuck is going on???

Emergency baby goat deployment

I would be a whole hell of a lot happier about this if it wasn’t a maneuver to lock in a bunch of nutcases for the rest of my life.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

This shit needs to be torn down and rebuilt. Unacceptable.

Cool cool cool cool cool.

This thread.

fuck these motherfuckers for real

I DON’T WANNA

It's such a *clear* equal protection violation to me, if for no other reason that trans *men* are not subjected to the same restrictions, only trans women. But, since the court already decided that the constitution doesn't apply to trans women, I can't be surprised.

come on come on now

Oh Jesus. No.
