Should’ve realized Trump was starting a war when I suddenly got new military ads while watching Bridgerton last night

Oh no, Bridgerton season 4 has captured my heart already

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

This effectively forces every trans person in the state to out themselves while applying for a job, renting an apartment, or being stopped by police. It's part of the same law that allows anyone to sue anyone else they suspect of being trans and using the "wrong" bathroom.

4 of the 5 U.S. men's hockey players who turned down Trump's invite to the White House and to SOTU are from Minnesota www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

I read Casey Means' book last year and wrote about her "salvation through orthorexia" ideology so you don't have to. This woman being Surgeon General will entail enormous amounts of harm buttondown.com/theswordandt...

They're going to lie about birth control just as they did with trans people.

Can we normalize pondering your orb?

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

The little pop up jump near the end of the program that was timed perfectly with the music… Alysa Liu’s got a medal in the bag

More Black history during Black History Month: Congrats to Laila Edwards for becoming the 1st Black American woman to win Olympic gold in women’s hockey ✊🏾

Having the women's hockey gold medal game at the same time as the women's singles free skate in figure skating is misogyny.

I loved this (it was her personal best score)

Hilary Knight deflects a Laila Edwards shot from the point past Desbiens, the US has tied it

Amber’s skate is STUNNING

🤢

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Oh no, Amber looked set to take top spot and then something happened in her sequence jumps and just lost her energy Nooooooo

And this was interestingly unanimous— and not being that well reflected yet in the offerings from actual Dem politicians. Word to the wise

And then had to rehire the pilot to get back lmfaoooo

The Olympic women's short program is today, and this is my preview / reminder for those who may be wondering what happened since the last Olympics. At the last Olympics, as many of you know, the breathless talk of the commentators was about women doing quad jumps! Wow! Amazing!

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

Maybe all the people saying that a kid is unbeatable need to remember that the Olympics are hard and you should maybe just...not.

CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! (I never post Olympic videos bc the IOC will hunt you down but I am taking that risk so that you can hear the Canadian curling cursing)

I had a feeling Ilia Malinin was too arrogant. But he’s young and he’ll have more chances, I hope he can bounce back

What do you mean an Italian men’s figure skater is dressed as a Cardinal and skating to the Conclave soundtrack

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

This song "Yo Perreo Sola" is an anthem about women's right to throw ass in the club without men creeping on them

In context, I would say the symbolism was clear but not in this direction, it was very clearly meant to be him as a child

For the uninitiated (Bad Bunny in drag): youtu.be/GtSRKwDCaZM?...

(Yes that was Pedro Pascal)

Daddy Yankee?????

Much like with Covid, I watch a whole lot of my supposedly progressive friends go blank eyed when I mention that his wife, his kids, and an entire plane crew agreed in depositions that he abused his family. Facts apparently do care about your entertainment.

Barbie [Greta Gerwig, 2023] Truly *the* film of 2023. So clever, so silly, so fun! And (unlike some other Oscar winners...), so uplifting! And you what!? - it was nominated for best adapted screenplay because it was... "based on" "Barbie by Mattel"!?

i love european olympics opening ceremonies. the second the ioc names a european host city the prime minister calls the culture minister into their office and says "find me your strangest homosexuals. give each of them a period of our great nation's history, a kilo of cocaine, and Ten Million Euros"

Italy’s opening ceremony was… something

Trans people were the proving grounds to normalize the made up term "biological sex"to roll back decades of progress on gender equality. When you get bioessentialist language, suddenly everything from gender roles to marriage becomes an argument about "biology." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Because I'm talking about measles. It is also A VERY VERY VERY CONTAGIOUS VIRUS. If someone is in a room and has measles and then leaves that room and you enter that room within TWO HOURS (depending on humidity) you can get measles. And people are contagious for four days before the rash appears.

Abolish ICE and move the billions to the United States Capitol Police so that they can provide actual protective details to all 535 members. I think you’d find many of our leaders would gain some courage to oppose Trumpism.

The strictly business-brained NFL exec who months ago foresaw the February 2026 vibes and then hired Bad Bunny

Donald Trump was repeatedly heckled and interrupted during a speech in Iowa as he faces a mounting wave of anger against his administration.

Thousands protest immigration enforcement as Trump visits Iowa

The Minnesota v. Noem hearing is beginning before Judge Katherine Menendez. Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul are seeking a TRO today to stop Operation Metro Surge.

this is who you're making work 40+ hours per week btw

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica built a tool to show you. Here’s how Rx Inspector has helped patients, doctors and researchers so far.

I didn’t know that bus driver was also a pilot

Scrubs but it’s public defenders and legal aid attorneys has legs

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage
