I kinda think bluesky's trending topics algorithm might need a bit of an adjustment

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all: The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

there are so many gutting stories, but this one is hitting me extra hard. just imagining wael tarabishi slowly dying without his dad there to care for him because he was jailed by ICE makes me…i don’t have words. this country is disgusting.

Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us

the coupling break happens in the mid aughts before the rise of smartphones and really even The Apps. main cause is clearly blizzard changing warcraft from an rts to an mmorpg

It’s pretty fucked up to sack Aaron Rodgers instead of debating his ideas

I laughed entirely too hard

Jim Harbaugh always looks like a dad trying to read a small-ish print menu on the wall at a fast food restaurant

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Packers disaster: * Blew a 21-3 halftime lead * Blew a 27-16 lead with 6:36 left * 2 missed FGs, 1 missed PAT * Delay of game out of a TO in 4th * TO on defense in 4th * Last 7 drives: 1 TD, 4 punts, 1 missed FG, end of game

If Malik Willis were under center LaFleur would go ahead and score another 21 in the second half. With Jordan Love he's going to throw a little tantrum and maybe win by a field goal.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him. Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

It is incredibly important for party leaders (governors, mayors, Jeffries and Schumer - or their inevitable replacements, whoever is running in 2028) to talk like this more often. Have some emotion. Lay out the stakes. Call out the bullshit.

Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

This NFL game just MLS After Dark'd harder than anything I've ever seen.

If the Pro Bowl doesn’t feature some sort of distance kick off between Brandon Aubrey and Cam Little, we’ve failed as a country (…I mean we may have already, but you get what I mean)

That Seahawks team is amazing and I know that they’re going to have the most hard fought 16-13 playoff loss that hinges on kicking a field goal when they should’ve gone for it on fourth and short

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

Can’t believe today isn’t Monday. Tried to do the crossword, nearly died.

Thank you, Jesse Palmer, for justifying going for it on 4th down by pointing out how well the Oregon defense is playing. Yes! Exactly!

I realize I am yelling into the void but football announcers are so happy to see teams kick FGs instead of going for it, and will shit on a failed 4th down attempt for 15 minutes. But kick a FG and lose the game because you immediately give up more points; there’s no second thought given

Mahomes scrambling for a first down

Trump is literally a Trump/Mamdani voter.

I think the MBS clips with Trump might be too much for me. Throwing my phone into the ocean. Going to seek a simpler life where I move to the suburbs and learn to flip houses. Maybe start watching sitcoms on CBS

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

I wonder if an NFL team has ever had back-to-back 30-29 games (a two week scoragami, if you will)

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

one thing that other candidates need to learn from mamdani is how to deliver the most cold blooded attacks on an opponent with a smile on your face

Joey Slye is too buff to be a kicker. Can’t trust it

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

The prior assumption’s Dave lays out - that people do not form their impressions by reading policy white papers, but from just existing in the world - is probably the single most important thing that I wish I could just implant in every consultant’s / dem politician’s head

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

you've gotta admit the NCAA has an incredible sense of comic timing

In honor of the No Kings protest I took under 34.5 wins for Sacramento

I know it’s wish casting to hope for this, and essentially nothing would happen except Mike Johnson would give an indignant answer and then not call on the reporter ever again, but my god the 30 seconds when that question is asked would be the hypothetical highlight of my year.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

This feels like an apt time to re-up the greatest baseball tweet of all time

Was confronted by an orange on my walk. Paid the toll of 72 scritches.

…you know I think she might actually believe this

I have gotten 5 fundraising texts from Janet Mills today alone. (And have immediately blocked everyone, yet they persist - all different numbers). If anything, this tells me you don’t understand the current media environment and are just going to pay consultants to run a campaign with poor outreach

Given the playcalling decisions I honestly think that this game might be some sort of elaborate practical joke played on the brits

Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo are also going to have a multi-hour meeting after this game but it's just going to be them hitting wrestling finishers off the couch on each other

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

She’s left us no choice. It’s time for Isaac Chotiner to interview Bari Weiss.

You know how RFK Jr said he could tell kids had mitochondrial problems by looking at them (obvious bullshit)? Similar idea here.

The NFL could really add another level if FGs that go in off the upright were worth 4 points

Watching this Mason Miller guy pitch for the first time. Have to imagine he has a career 0.00 ERA with a .000 batting average against

The Green Bay Packers defeat the Dallas Cowboys 40-40 on away (field) goals.
