Union contracts are just as much about setting (and ENFORCING) standards across the industry, as they are about protecting (often unaware) talent from having those standards ignored, bypassed, or obfuscated. It’s about looking out for EVERYONE, not just those who can afford a legal professional.

two prominent online purveyors of toxic masculinity getting their ass beat in one weekend really should be the end of all that

If you were a kid with nothing but AM radio on your clock radio or in your car in the 1970s, you could not get away from Andy Gibb

I do my best thinking in the shower. This is a magical property of my shower and not related the new kind of dementia my phone seems to be giving me.

This is fundamentally un-American. Citizenship in this country is a right earned under the law, and once granted, it is supposed to be secure. Turning citizenship into something that can be taken away by quotas and political targets shatters that promise.

When did we get 10 minute long videos on here?

Watching Braveheart for the first time. So far it seems like a great movie if you’re a zoophile.

I get Jake Paul getting his ass kicked because to him his life is a narrative and as long as he's a character it doesn't matter if he loses, plus he has his head up his ass. But I don't understand Andrew Tate getting his ass kicked. His brand is he's a winner. Or is his brand just narcissism?

No one ever makes any jokes about Jonestown. Then again, that's probably because the punchlines are way too long... 🤔

Just feasting on that random ground goop.

Idk m maybe they do have God on their side and also God is real.

when you have to release the epstein files while also trying to selectively omit the guy who's in them more than anyone else

There are people being paid by the federal government to sit around and think of increasingly outrageous posts to titillate Nazis on the 9th most popular social media site in the U.S.

I find the idea that you need to know “how to use” AI tools really funny, as if it isn’t incredibly easy to type in prompts and the marketing these tools is that literally anyone can do it

The podcaster-FBI Director-podcaster career path is a common one your high school guidance counselor probably tried to push you into.

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

I've always wanted to get a picture of the sun setting directly above a sanderling I could never land it It's a complex shot since the sun sets above the ocean and the birds are BELOW the crashing waves Even if you get it, you need to get multiple shots for depth of field I came close tonight🪶 🧵

Well this seems good Gift article wapo.st/48OlcTt

Colin Kaepernick knelt during the Anthem so we had to delete the Constitution.

Donald Trump has destroyed the economy and set American science back 15 years. But I heard my liberal neighbor said "Latinx" yesterday. I have never felt more politically homeless.

This is absolutely fucking bananas the way that these people are *so close* to getting it but still manage to miss it by a fucking mile.

This is like me denouncing snideness

Look if we just go around beating the absolute shit out of social media assholes there’s bound to be some sort of long-term theoretical negative externality or something Anyway be careful out there Nate Silver

Congratulations to the ADL for deciding to go all-in on working with this administration because of some college student protestors who used intemperate rhetoric.

My wife is now going through this picture by picture muttering obscenities with the occasional gasp and I’m pretty sure she just denied God

The person charged with enforcing the laws is an open lawbreaker, assisted by a team of open lawbreakers, backed by a Congressional majority indifferent to lawbreaking, supported by a Supreme Court that privileges them to break the law. It has no legitimacy whatsoever.

to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.

honestly I’m pretty confused as to why Andrew Tate was fighting at all but I’m delighted that he got his ass beat

"prompt theft" is funny as hell like oh no somebody did the same google search as me. grow up

They say violence never solves anything, but I'm really enjoying these garbage bros getting the shit beaten out of them in the ring

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

Paul and Tate getting their brains turned to mashed potatoes the moment they stepped in the ring with somebody in the same weight class who isn't afraid to punch back feels like God flashing a big red warning sign to our country.

actually I changed my mind, I love celebrity boxing matches now. I think everyone I hate should do them, because I'm really enjoying watching the worst people on earth get their shit rocked

Big Chungus has lasted almost 20 times longer than the Confederacy

i now support Trudeau/Katy

It's such a tell on all these people that they saw Epstein as the perfect embodiment of urbane decadence. He couldn't spell, he had little sex competitions with gutter misogynists, his interior design sense was awful, there is no evidence whatsoever that he was smart or funny

Pamela Jo Bondi, doing her part to help an administration that calls itself, with a seemingly straight face, "The Most Transparent in American History."

Sorry I can't stay but you don't have a dog

As I sit here with a log crackling in the fireplace, absentmindedly stroking the dog's head, my eyes are drawn to the handmade stockings hanging from the mantel, then to the tree, with its myriad sparkling lights, and I think to myself, boy, would my rabbi be disappointed in me.

Today someone introduced me to a horse doctor and it was just some guy who treats horses. I’ve never been more disappointed

The priest at my snake church said science is a myth

Our coverage of the closing of a local hygiene center last month spurred a philanthropist to buy the property for $2M. Donors in WA & other states chipped in remaining $500K to secure the land. Thanks, @ricksteves.bsky.social Thanks @a-rlnt.bsky.social for reporting mltnews.com/thanks-to-ri...

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

TOMORROW IS THE WINTER SOLSTICE AND Y'ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. It is time for the women (defined broadly) to hunt the Year King through the woods and tear him apart with their bare hands!

it’s true that Jake Paul has enough money to pay for the best medical care, but money can’t spare you from the pain and suffering that comes along with any sufficiently traumatic injury

America when the DOJ says "no we're not hiding anything, Trump wasn't even in the Epstein Files" as they casually delete 14 already published documents. 🪶

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

Maybe don't gas yourself up getting kid-gloved by senior-discount-at-IHOP-enjoyers so much that you start thinking you're a real fighter, son.

Wow, gold, frankincense, AND myrrh. This is so great. My wife’s boyfriend’s baby is going to love it. Thank you so much.
