Podem tentar quebrar Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, mas não conseguirão! Aqui é Lulismo Espiritual Esotérico Sobrenatural

I talked to Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker who was arrested at work, while he was imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. I called him again once he was deported to Mogadishu. Here's what he had to say.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com

In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

The thing about Musk is, yes, his live-by-the-sword rhetoric is S-tier dorkery from an S-tier dork but also he has in fact caused the deaths of thousands if not millions of people, is extraordinarily dangerous, and needs to have that power removed one way or another for everyone's sake.

Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social

One of the most salient aspects of today's politics is how everyone imagines a conspiratorial "them" controlling things behind the scenes. Elon Musk is literally powerful enough to affect the course of the Ukraine war, but he's still imagining faceless puppet masters who need to be unmasked.

I’ve started using the philly shell during Muay Thai sparring for extended exchanges where I lose track of where the other guys hands are. It’s actually been really useful for protecting myself as I disengage and reset. It feels illegal but I haven’t run into any drawbacks yet

Ok folks, I have a choice ahead of me. I’m about to finish For Whom The Bell Tolls, and I allow myself to buy one new book on the condition that I finish one I already have. I have two candidates. Which one should I go for? Beaudrillard or Kennedy?

Eu acredito na força da juventude brasileira. Na coragem de sonhar, de lutar e de transformar o nosso país. A democracia é uma conquista de muitas gerações e precisa ser cuidada todos os dias. Nossos jovens têm um papel fundamental nessa história.

Frustrating sparring session tonight. Dropping my hands without meaning to, too tired to maintain my high guard, got teep’d, got bonked on the face. Learned some hard lessons, but I’ll be back next week.

ICE, local police collaboration, and elected official's opposition to them begs an uncomfortable question about what happens when the leadership without guns tells the people with guns to do something they don't want to do. And I'm worried that there are no good answers to resolve it.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

I will never get over the seoi nage and all its variants. That kind of judo is why I occasionally go back to watch Ronda Rousey highlights. I long to see that kind of grappling become more popular in MMA.

President Trump publicly states that he is ok with a foreign adversary destroying American cities that are not aligned with him politically.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

Taking longer-term view as an antidote to shorter-term setbacks on democratic politics is easier if there isn't a ticking timebomb sitting there next to some of the main pillars of existing civilization

I very much fear an unstable equilibrium where every party across the west believes it will have two to four years to loot and crush its enemies but won’t bother trying to govern in the long term, because the voters are too fickle

Brazil elections: "useful visualization is this one here, from Electomaps (inspired by NYT). Showing difference in the vote compared to 2022 for president.

I'm fine with this as long as I can stream it thru my pervert glasses, wager on the outcome on Polymarket, and record my reaction TikTok while sipping on my iced coffee and riding an e-scooter on my way to my next job interview.

Throwback to the time I sparred my first kickboxing coach, who is 40 lbs lighter and 5 inches shorter than me. It was like fighting a swarm of angry bees, and they were all really good at punching.

Brandon Friedman@brandonfriedman.bsky.social

This also happens in every MMA and BJJ gym in the world. Testosterone-fueled new guy comes in thinking he can fight or grapple because he's an "I just see red" guy. Gets immediately put to sleep by someone half his size. Never comes back.

"Diversity is not our strength. We must be champions of our one type of civilization, which draws on traditions from vastly different cultures separated by cultural heritage, geography, and time."

Hegseth: "We need students of western civilization and the pillars of our republic. Leaders who understand the faith of Jerusalem, the philosophy of anthems -- Athens. The power of Rome, and the freedom of Philadelphia circa 1776."

I’ve been perusing the internet archive for a video project I’ve been thinking of, and I came across a CNN documentary from ‘96 about Desert Storm. It had uncensored images of people that had been killed with chemical weapons. Idk if the doc was made for TV or home video, but still, a different era

AOC would be a vast improvement on either NYC senator but we really desperately need the next president not to come from the Newsom side of the caucus

Calling it now, it is a distinct possibility that they cut out the press entirely and set up an official White House Kick or Twitch account and they just stream events directly. Trump could take questions from chatters that are just staffers pitching him softball questions. Endless possibilities.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

If Gane does to Hokit what he did to Aspinall, he would become a folk hero equal in stature to Guy Fawkes. I need Herb Dean as the ref, just to make sure Gane gets away with it.

Jack@jackflash.bsky.social

So, Hokit called out Gane. Hokit is definitely a person I wouldn't mind seeing get hit in the brain stem or eyes gouged.

Steveson just fled the cage in cowardice, he wouldn't even wait for the decision to be read. This man Sean Sharaf called Steveson a rapist to his face, went in depth on why he was clearly guilty, and then knocked him the fuck out. No matter what he does next, Sharaf is immortalised.

carving your name into the institute of peace while further entrenching the country in an unwinnable war…honestly the irony is boring at this point

In the recent Channel 5 documentary where Ian visited the West Bank, his guide mentions in passing that the neighborhood has a youth boxing gym. I'm interested to know if there's a significant boxing culture in Palestine

I feel very confident that a core Elon Musk belief is that he’d better kill off as many Africans as he can while they’re still helpless children.

MMA had a brief moment where it could highlight unique human interest stories or serve as emergent, almost punk rock cultural phenomena. Now it’s a vector for right-wing politics and home to low IQ dipshits desperately seeking Darwin Awards.

I feel bad for this chimpanzee It’s going to be difficult to wash that MMA fighters blood out of his fur after he tears the man’s arms off and eats his face.
