Good for Walker. Fuck them Philly fans. I know it's their MO, but booing the Home Run Derby—a light hearted event—was an ugly look.

this is where your money goes when you buy harry potter stuff. rowling isn’t shy about it. amnesty wrote an even-handed report that laid out what anti-rights groups do; rowling uses her billions & clout to suppress it. when you give rowling money; she spends it on stealing people’s human rights.

Ok I'm calling it: The USA will lose tomorrow and complete the trifecta. I don't like it, but it's what's gonna happen.

It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.

Look I'm a vegetarian so I don't have much to add to the shrimp discourse. But as a Central Wisconsin Boy I don't like that Culver's, the greatest fast food restaurant in the world, is getting dragged into this. That is all.

Man don't send LaMelo Ball to the T-Wolves. Haven't the Twin Cities had enough menaces on their streets this year!

When Mamdani was elected, I was talking to my sister, who lives in NY. I told her I hope Mamdani doesn't make the same mistakes and become as toothless as Johnson. I think tonight shows he won't.

Honestly I'm more upset Bobby is leaving MKE than Giannis...

A fighter insulting Michelle Obama on the South Lawn followed by the announcement that Meta is giving every blind veteran a pair of Meta glasses, is *chefs kiss* of bullshit.

Not the point but I fucking hate the contempt the coastal media has for my home state. My grandma lived her whole life in the city they're in. She lived to be 104. She and my grandfather lived full, varied, interesting lives there./1

Wilt Chamberlain the ultimate cheat code. Got 82-0 with him, The Logo, and Barkley. www.82-0.com/share?id=8Ub...

The YouTube-to-Horror Feature Filmmaker pipeline is very real, but we must acknowledge who has access to it in the first place. YouTube is not a democratized platform, and we're doing the next generation of creatives a disservice by pretending it is www.slashfilm.com/2181604/back...

Detroit vs Michigan is up there but I think it's actually Milwaukee vs Wisconsin. Again might be biased cause I was raised in Madison and moved to Milwaukee as an adult. But Detroit is large enough that it still has sway in state politics. Milwaukee is small enough that they are completely ignored.

Look, as a former Milwaukeean yes drink Miller Light. But I have to question if it can be an "Anecdote to the decadence" when it is the lower calorie sibling to the "Champagne of Beers"?

I remember going to the study hall computer lab, the Monday after the WHCD, and half the computers had Colbert's speech playing on YouTube. That was the first time most of us had even heard of the WHCD.

Why does she spell it like the WWE wrestler???

ICE agents detained Gilberto Garcia Cruz—an autistic 26-year-old DACA man—outside his South Florida home; his family are understandably worried about his safety & care in custody. (As are we.) ICE is *not* supposed to detain DACA recipients. This is targeted intimidation. cbs12.com/news/local/a...

When my film history 101 professor came to BOAN he instead showed us Rebirth of a Nation from the experimental hip hop artist DJ Spooky. He used VJ techniques to make what we would now call a video essay. It showcased how the new film techniques of BOAN were used to support its racism.

Sure, I spent the '80s watching action movies that were mostly military revenge fantasies about the Middle East. But then I went to college and spent the '90s watching movies mostly about Tehran schoolgirls trying to accomplish various simple tasks. The Iranian New Wave would fix a lot of people.

I feel crazy. Just sitting around waiting to find out if our lunatic President is going to begin a world war for no reason. What does one do in these situations? What do I have for lunch? Do I take a Zyrtec if my eyes are watering? Moment to moment, what do I do?

I lived in Milwaukee for 5 years. I love Milwaukee. It's my favorite city, and the best city in the summer. The thing is, it doesn't really have any exclusive hot spots, that the rich and famous can go to and hide. And I'm sure that sucks as the most famous player in the NBA.

I love that his whole thing is “I did it before I had a campaign.” Right, three months before you announced. Same with Janet. Meanwhile I was president of a women’s health center and championed their expansion to include services for trans folks in 2015 when I was 27. We’re not the same.

Well, at least there are more fans than at "Wrigley North" watching The Brewers! Oh wait... bsky.app/profile/jm53...

👇🎯 If NYT journalists knew what Scott Walker & Robin Vos had done for a decade in Wisconsin before Trump, nothing the far right authoritarian party is doing now nationally would have been a surprise. Much easier to always write about Harvard & blame DC Democrats for not being moderate enough.

Kate Hudson Under Fire For Doing Wisconsinface In ‘Song Sung Blue’ https://theonion.com/kate-hudson-under-fire-for-doing-wisconsinface-in-song-sung-blue/

Almost everything now happening at the federal level now has a direct antecedent in Wisconsin GOP politics under Scott Walker & Robin Vos in 2008-25. The lying. The defunding. The violating laws & norms. The demonizing some people as not being part of the Herrenvolk. It was all here first.

We learned from Chicago and Portland. Yall learn from them plus Minnesota. All you fascists bound to lose.

Borders aren’t real, migration is not a crime.

jfc this is really bad! we should not be doing this!

They’ll try to outlaw ALL trans care next.

The binary mindset that we either get a Netflix/WB or a Paramount/WB is *completely untrue*. Warner Bros without its dying cable channels can be a profitable company, as it was this year. All of these merger offers are illegal, and state AGs can challenge them and win.

And then there’s a world here where movies like Sinners and One Battle After Another don’t even hit our biggest screens, or they do only in major cities on the coasts. Further instilling that the movies are no longer for everyone now, just those in the right place with money.

I gotta ask, how did we end up with so influential people who are Fucking MARKS!!! Trump famously thought McMahon died when his limo "blew up", and last year asked the Undertaker, on camera, if wrestling was real... Trump's been in a WWE match! How far does this go!

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

It's good that public sentiment flipped as soon as people saw the consequences of the things they thought they wanted, but we have a serious problem if we're going to keep cycling through this process forever.

The story of this week is that millions of Americans were told in 2024 their lives would be improved if trans people's lives were made worse and I'm glad they're finally waking up to the fact that was never true to begin with--but trans people's lives are still getting worse

Schools went on lockdown, people stayed inside. It lasted the entire afternoon. A constant din of whistles, sirens, helicopters, people shouting. Or dead silence. I see the NYT, New Yorker, commentariat frame it as "activists clashing with ICE." No. ICE/CBP/DHS are terrorizing US citizens.

People are so brainwashed about Chicago being a crime infested hellhole that they assume white people and single family homes must be in the burbs. This is in the city.

When this era is done, I don’t want to hear anyone saying “Let’s move on.” We deserve ACCOUNTABILITY.

Went to Broadview ICE today. All I'm gonna say is... what I want is for whistles & neighborhood lookouts & text chains & the rest not to be necessary. I want the war on us to stop. I want no one--except those who are doing this--to hear the racking sobs of someone whose loved one is inside Broadview

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents. ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities. The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Hey, @jay.bsky.team. As a disabled person, it's disheartening to see one of the foundational pushers of alt text, a Black STEM voice, a queer advocate, and a huge voice for the disabled community gone over a poor taste joke. Having Link here is good for so many people. Please reconsider?

We need to understand that, too. There is no "reform." Either poorly trained people with no impulse control can murder people on the streets while we watch, or we have a democracy. The two are antithetical.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military. They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

FWIW, Trump focusing on autism is not a distraction from Epstein. He has been obsessed with autism ever since his friendship with Bob Wright, the former head of NBC Universal and the founder of Autism Speaks. Wright was also the person who put him on the Apprentice.

Yes give me money to actually make stuff, instead of just being the dude who sees all the patterns of Bad Things™ and gets yelled at for pointing them out instead of ignoring them.
