You’ll have to speak up, I’m wearing a towel.

(Conservative Pundit Voice) Listen the Constitution is quite clear that the president can do boat murders when he's sad.

Ok, I've been a fan of @alexanderckane.bsky.social's books for a while now, but Dragon Heist might just be the best of them. Here's hoping for a sequel! www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Very happy to announce two new TT junior faculty positions in my Psychology department. One for Neuroscience (linked) and Cognitive Psychology (see replies). Need to be able to teach some Psych core courses. Please share! unioncollege.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/UnionC...

How to make teams care: Winner of the NBA Cup gets 5 extra points to use during the regular season. Runner-up gets 2. Lost by 1? You use two of your points and now you win. To use the points, the head coach blows into a ram's horn. The coach carries it with him at all times. This is a good idea.

K-Pop Demon Hunters takes place in the same universe as Sinners.

Second draft is done, but I clearly need to add exactly one word.

Dune Tootin’

He's standing in front of the Astoria Park Pool which was built by the Works Progress Administration in 1936 and has been a free resource for the community ever since. Anyone freaking out about Hot Commie Summer can come chill at our government pool this summer and relax.

Has Cuomo reached out to Trae Young yet for an endorsement?

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

I want one preseason NBA game every year in which the players call their own fouls.

No kings in NYC

This is from Andrea Vernon & The Big Are Acquisition (2021) by @alexanderckane.bsky.social, set in a world in which super villains (led by a dinosaur and a man who wants to be a truck) have taken over the US government. It feels kinda prescient now.

The endgame of the trans athlete scare is defining what a woman is and punishing woman for not conforming to that standard. Algeria is anti-LGBTQ. It is illegal to be trans in Algeria. This is about punishing women for living their lives honestly and demanding you recognize their excellence.

Today's tea is ginger, cinnamon, black tea and peppermint. It's delicious. I'm listening to Dragon Heist by @alexanderckane.bsky.social. It's a funny adventure story artfully read by Khristine Hvam

Just going to keep yelling “Why are you writing a book if you don’t want to write a book?!”

happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about

For each NBA team’s first preseason game next year, they should do it without refs and have players call their own fouls.

I need to hear Nic Cage's Madden impression as soon as possible.

How my hair look, Mike?

I don’t believe the lottery is rigged, but the year where Dallas inexplicably trades a superstar to LA and then miraculously wins the the top pick, would be the time I would most believe the lottery is rigged.

Free throws are a bad system and encourage committing fouls too often. For a two shot foul: Player gets the ball at the FT line, everyone else behind 3 pt line, whistle blows, 3 second shot clock. For 3 shot foul, player at 3 line, everyone else at half court, blow whistle, 3 second shot clock.

Steve Kerr looking down at the end of his bench and going “Wait, Kevin Knox plays for us? Yeah, sure.”

Every playoffs I walk around singing Rudy Gobert to the tune of Rudy Can’t Fail by the Clash for like six weeks.

unfollowing everyone on linkedin except this guy

Sinners is rad. Unbelievably rad. Raddest movie.

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

Never has there been a “I don’t want to be included in a trade package for you” block.

Saying this again: Make a 4th All NBA Team that you are only eligible for if you play all 82 games.

Ja Morant hits game winning shot in the play-in then pantomimes typing in the nuclear launch codes.

Trump sent a teenager in the US legally to a gulag for being Venezuelan www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

ChatGPT consumes so much water and energy each week that it could power entire countries for YEARS and folk act like you told them to kill their selves cause you want them to write their own emails and not to steal art. 😂

The claim that the destruction of essential civilizational institutions is being done in the name of the Jews is itself a form of antisemitism—cultural vandalism carried out in our name. That, my friends, is rank bullshit.

I see what you did, NY Times Spelling Bee.

One reason they won’t bring any of these people back is they don’t want them around to testify to what’s happening

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am. We are. We will.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Not looking forward to the “Trump Supporter Who Lost All Four Children in the Arctic War Doesn’t Regret Her Vote” headlines.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

It's clear that the Trump administration denied due process to the migrants it banished to El Salvador *precisely because* any measure of judicial oversight would've proved their innocence immediately. Deported, imprisoned, and condemned to hard labor—for a soccer tattoo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Consultants are being paid millions to tell Dem pols to wait while we deport people to slave camps w/o trial, imprison people for lawful protest, and prepare for senseless wars until the polling tells them it’s unpopular enough to act. “Maybe he’ll deport Julia Roberts. Then we can do something.”

I think it has more to do with you might get locked up for absolutely no reason at all and then flown to El Salvador to die in prison even though a judge said you should be released

Don’t worry there was nothing nefarious going on, we have a very good explanation. Our concentration camps are just overcrowded and infested with disease.

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Also must point out that they’re simply inventing (& hoping you won’t notice) that Khalil or any other protester was “provid[ing] material support” to any banned foreign group. Material support is a tangible thing. ADL has been making this slanderous accusation w/o any evidence since protests began
