BREAKING: Eight children were killed in an "extensive" mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, police say. The suspected shooter is also dead.

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

The last twenty-or-so minutes of The Pitt's finale—the sequence of Abbot telling Robby that he needs to find someone to "dance through the darkness with," to "America the Beautiful" playing while they watch fireworks, to Robby's displaced self-talk to the baby—rocked. Beautiful and subtle.

What a weird trade! I had Smith graded slightly higher in '24, but thought both players were strong prospects. Smith, in my mind, was more of a 1-3T type of player, and Orhorhoro was a 3T-5T type of player (very similar to Ojomo, IMO).

“Why aren't we doing this?” Private, for-profit corporate monopolies own American power. Renewable energy, particularly solar, is so cheap and efficient that companies cannot profit from it. Remember this when someone tells you capitalism breeds innovation.

We live in the stupidest timeline. Marketing isn't a psyop. A psyop is a military operation. Promoting a band isn't a conspiracy. Words have actual meaning. Why is everyone so dumb, angry, and suspicious about even the most innocuous things?

I don't understand the "double standard" talk about Vrabel and Russini. An affair with Russini doesn't compromise Vrabel's ability to coach. Russini's relationship with Vrabel does compromise her authority/status as an objective, ethical reporter.

Lol

Put the linebackers in. Again, there's no subjective tape element put into this bc of time limitations (😩), but it's returning interesting results. If I could, I'd be watching Kaleb Elarms-Orr, Justin Jefferson, Bryce Boettcher, Deontae Lawson, and Aiden Fisher.

Everything in America is just another opportunity to be price gouged.

This EDGE group is crazy. There are many older players and high-risk profiles in this draft. I personally wouldn't want Romello Height or Akheem Mesidor because they're already 25. Second contract would hit @ 30. High-risk flags popped up on Zion Young, Jaishawn Barham, LT Overton, & Derrick Moore.

Running some numbers @ DT, and the draft people are kidding me, right? The production profiles on Christen Miller, Kayden McDonald, Domonique Orange, and Peter Woods are really terrible.

Ran the TE numbers, absent film grades, and here's what I've got. Of note: -Tanner Koziol is the runaway TE #1. -Dallen Bentley would be a good TE prospect if he weren't already 25. -Carsen Ryan is *the* TE sleeper. -Tanner Arkin is this year's Jack Stoll -Matt Lauter and Chamon Metayer are notable.

IMO it’s bc the heat isn’t about an affair. It’s about her job as a journalist demanding specific boundaries regarding source relationships, which his job as a football coach doesn’t require of him in return. She violated the ethics of her job in a way he didn’t, even if they’re both having affairs.

Here's Hitler and the Nazis admiring their planned triumphal arch:

Eagles just traded for Dontayvion Wicks

PFF hates it, and I don't care. The Eagles get some bodies on defense and the OL before you have to reset @ WR, RB, and QB next year. Brown is a speedy and dynamic player w/ the ball. Delp and Sharp are TEs who can block.

A very astute (and upsetting!) piece that touches on four scary cultural trends: 1) The demand for spelled-out moral clarity in stories 2) A growing inability to understand different types of narratives 3) The "customer's always right" version of fandom 4) The growth of fandom as a social identity.

Some DL I think I want for the Eagles: EDGE: Cashius Howell, Gabe Jacas, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Jayshawn Barham, Trey Moore, Bryan Thomas Jr. IDL: Chris McClellan, Darrell Jackson, Rayshaun Benny, Cameron Ball, Demonte Capehart, Rene Konga, Damonic Williams, James Thompson, Aaron Hall

Don't you just love to see a man worth $800 billion tell everyone that the United States is a communist country? Isn't that just so funny and definitely not infuriating?!

I AM GOING TO BURN DOWN THE SHED UNLESS WE HAVE PIZZA ROLLS FOR DINNER TONIGHT [mom sighs, rolls her eyes, writes "pizza rolls" on the grocery list for next week] I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO BURN DOWN THE SHED

Trump’s such a fucking clown.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is

So many Iranian-Canadians in Toronto with family back home who are scared beyond comprehension right now. This horrid fuck just tosses this stuff off like it's a tv show. Just one the most abhorrent people who has ever lived, propped up by the most cowardly scum.

It's time to impeach Trump, @rosen.senate.gov and @cortezmasto.senate.gov. This can't go on.

The ethos of every Trump policy is rape. www.sfgate.com/national-par...

I passed my comps. Tell me what draft prospects I need to watch. #Eagles

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

I hope all these losers, like Pam Bondi, realize that their naked ambition was their downfall. You corrupted yourself in pursuit of power, contorted yourself to defend the world’s most evil man, and he threw you in the garbage as soon as you weren’t useful to him anymore. You picked the wrong side.

It's always good to remind yourselves that Christian fundamentalists do NOT support Israel because they respect Jewish people; they believe a Jewish state in the Holy Land is required to facilitate the apocalypse and Jesus's return, during which the blood of non-Christians will flow like rivers. So…

Four-byline alert: 🚨 “.. A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter.” www.ft.com/content/744e...

"If you who own the things people must have could understand this, you might preserve yourself.

What if the monolithic nation-state is the wellspring of neoliberal authority and power? What if someone believes in the abstraction of empire? And what if someone believes that nation-states are unresponsive to the genuine, local needs of the people?

“Where are all the campus protesters?” Fucking El Salvador, probably, because of people like you

I agree. This event has been meteorologically astonishing, and its impacts will be felt long after it ends in terms of record low snowpack, sharply increased wildfire risk, and extreme low watershed runoff/streamflow into summer and beyond.

Love it. I’m a Fred Johnson stan.

Much of reactionary politics today is best understood as a Confederate restoration project.

I've been thinking this about "supporting the troops": I support the troops in the sense that I believe in the dignity and humanity of the individuals and don't believe it should be risked haphazardly. If your "support" is limited to supporting bloody conquest, you are just a fan of violence.

My alabaster milk child Teuton keeps asking for ranch dressing at the caviar factory, it is most epic. The fishmongers despise him.

I would never participate in such a thing, but Donald Trump needs to be tarred and feathered in a public setting. :)

The Eagles are signing safeties Marcus Epps and J.T. Gray to one-year deals, per sources. Reinforcements for Philly after losing Reed Blankenship and trading Sydney Brown to the Falcons earlier today.

I had high hopes for Sydney Brown, but he is just bad. Brown is out of control, impulsive, and wild. The Eagles gave him away for free.

Initially, I thought Fetterman's shithead turn was the result of his stroke, but I have come to believe that Fetterman is just a lazy, oppositional reactionary. I think he genuinely hates responsibility and scorns the people who expect things of him. He likes the power/platform, though.

Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is very very low level of job creation. If you adjust the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

Here's how I imagine the Puka Nacua friction: Rams: "Hey, Puka, can you act like a professional and stop doing dumb shit for clout on the internet? We want to give you $100 million. Thanks." Puka: "No. Doing dumb shit on the internet is my true passion."
