Had to read this eight times because this level of blatant, unabashed corruption is somehow still that inconceivable

not the first person to point this out nor is it a particularly interesting thought but it's fucking crazy that conservatives have ended up in a position where they have to hate and slander a big budget adaptation of the fucking odyssey. if the odyssey isn't for you what is

Somebody needs to hear this… Your spiritual walk not strong enough for natural deodorant

really thinking about this tweet as i’ve been struggling to breathe through nausea for the last 5 hours

A really big problem for the CC industrial complex is that people can just watch Olivia Miles and Paige Bueckers games. They are also on TV.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

this, for me, is the defining Lindsey Graham statement

I want our next Dem president to bring back the WPA and just build infrastructure all across this country again. Build green energy, trains, housing, etc. We can have nice things (and nice bathrooms), but we have to invest in ourselves!

It was great joining the Surf City 4 for their Freedom to Read event in Huntington Beach! As an author and a dad, I believe people should be free to read, learn, and think for themselves without interference from the government or politicians.

Saw @chriswarcraft.bsky.social irl at an event I was working today. That dude is *tall*.

Having recently rewatched Frank Capra's Why We Fight series, it's striking how much those documentaries insist that something that assures American greatness is our specifically unreligious nature, a country where even the most devout Christian looks out for the well-being of Jews and Muslims.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

He lied about every single thing. Everyday. He ran knowing full well who he is while presenting himself as someone else (poorly). He wasted everyone’s time & money & shattered people’s credibility. He used the political process as a vanity project to the detriment of the folks he wanted to represent

"Courtesy of the Red White and Blue" is embarrassing to play at any time but especially right *after* we got our asses kicked in the Middle East

i wonder if something happened to galvanize this belgium team? ah well, we’ll never know

why are they so worried about people born here being citizens. are they afraid they're going to take advantage of the non-free healthcare? that they're going to pay taxes? that they'll be able to work here without getting a visa?

My theology remains that hell will be empty save for mouth-breathing demons like this guy who think they're choosing heaven, because the goodness of love is repulsive and their only eternal desire is closeness to others who share their depravity.

i have been to basement punk shows where none of us wanted to be there but it was friend rock (aka your friend is in a band, but not a good band) that easily had ten times this attendance.

you know, when someone says something like "these are the things that need to be done to avert disaster" and your response is "you think democrats will do that?!?" all you're telling me is that you think politics is a spectator sport

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

A'ja Wilson is the first player in WNBA history to log 30+ PTS, 15+ REB, 4+ STL, and 3+ BLK in a game. u.acrossthetimeline.com/stat-jhWPP

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

The central claim of SCOTUS decisions like Shelby County and Callais is that we’ve made so much progress since Jim Crow and slavery that the VRA’s remedies aren’t needed. The central claim of conservative elected officials is that Jim Crow and slavery weren’t that bad, anyway.

Big props to Brad Lander on winning his primary. Dude has done the moral thing many times and put his body on the line against ICE. He even came to Minnesota during the ICE Occupation to see the injustice firsthand. It’s nice to see moral courage rewarded by voters.

okay, remember when i was going thru all that stuff around christmas? when my apartment had no heat or power for weeks and my landlord was being horrible, and i had no recourse? adam immediately messaged me, offered legal rep for free, and talked the situation over with me ON CHRISTMAS

this letter is FUCKING CRAZY

Is it not extremely obvious to everyone that the reflecting pool nonsense is where Trump is comfortable and he's pushing all of his attention onto that to avoid attention being paid to where he is uncomfortable...having gotten us into a war that he immediately lost?

This shit got me levitating, take me back fr www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Py0...

Nneka calls game, WNBA rocks

Can't tell if the Atlanta Dream are a fun basketball team to watch when they're not giving Caitlin Clark a thousand-yard stare, will have to report back in a few weeks.

Trying to decide if I bet my house on the Commanders or the Nationals winning a championship now

Milwaukee needs to elect a socialist mayor so history will come full circle!

I don’t understand this take at all. Kumail was tremendous on TM www.vulture.com/article/kuma...

Why did they specifically choose an athlete who took a massive pay cut to play in New York City as their example to argue that players might not be willing to accept less money to play in New York City

Everything about Vance is basically fake. He grew up in a middle class exurban family; used the GI Bill to go to a public university and then an Ivy League. He “wrote” a completely bullshit book about this and cashed a bunch of checks to buy a senate seat.

multiculturalism is pretty great

Seattle elects a socialist mayor, wins the Super Bowl NYC elects a socialist mayor, wins the NBA finals Win your city a major sports title with this one neat trick

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

think i got this right, here is what the spurs win probability maxed out at in each game the knicks won according to ESPN's win probability: game 1: 94.1% game 2: 83.6% game 4: 99.6% game 5: 97.1%

It’ll never not be notable to me that Republicans face no consequences for calling Dem voters “animals” or worse, while calling the worst racists in the country “deplorable” was a scandal that every democrats had to answer for

I'm not a Buttigieg fan, but I'll say this - this is how I would hope to see every Democrat who was even thinking of running for prez in 2028 talk to have even a chance of reversing course after a trump.

Mariska doing a matinee and a 7 pm performance of her one-woman Broadway show and then watching the greatest comeback in Finals history actually looks like the Jordan flu game

They're really going to win every single game for two straight months except the one Trump spoiled
