Jeph the Giant Ginge

Miami FC's New interim coach looks like the product of a Star Trek transporter malfunction that fused Alfred Molina and Ian McShane.

Honestly, nothing will ever be funnier to me than the fact that one of the cleverest people I know once wrote a letter - as a school project - to Anwar Al Sadat. In 1990. She did not receive a personal reply.

Good morning. The world sucks, but at least you can still sing the words to the Meow Mix jingle mapped directly over the bridge of "Sober" by @toolmusic.bsky.social . The meter matches, and the first amendment still holds at least that far.

It's a relief that normalcy has been restored. It was a little disorienting imagining a world in which Starmer had a spine. Consistency appeased as he reverts to his standard form: A lukewarm flan in a business suit.

I have a scientology joke, but I can't tell you the punchline until you pay for three more auditing sessions.

I'm not surprised that the superrich are corrupt, venal, and malicious. I am disappointed in how -utterly boring- they are. Never seems like they're having any fun. If I had access to Bezos money, his amorality, and distribution, I would ship every person in America 3 kazoos and a vervet monkey.

Obvious CW. Ms. Huerta has always been an inspiration. Even the noblest movements are not their leaders. As more information appears, these allegations reveal Mr. Chavez's actions as more and more reprehensible. A true blunt accounting is the only way forward, and Labor will be stronger for it.

Incroyable.

The wrestler known as Ricochet is a colossal piece of shit. And if you're still a fan of his after today, then so are you.

The temptation is to observe the catastrofuck nature of the world around us and to give up, because what can be done in that overwhelm? Just remember that Peter Cullen and Chester Bennington manage to gift the bayformer abomination with one of the best film endings ever. youtu.be/rdMCuLfTk7s?...

Fuck everything about this. Studs-up tackles to anyone crossing a line.

I once got into a full on fistfight in the UN General Assembly Chambers. In my defense, I never heard my little sister call "dibs" on the armrest.

All I can say for certain is that there is absolutely -zero- chance that Dr. Doofenschmirtz's favorite wrestler is not @danhausen.bsky.social #GetThatManABlimp

Cristian Roldan is gonna drag this team kicking and screaming towards something marginally approaching an actual performance.

Add in the variable of three megalomaniac narcissists who may have fatal or progressing illness and do have nuclear weapons? It's death cults the whole way down.

The self-inflicted catastrofuck of this attack. If it's about protestors, you don't feed regime propaganda about "outside agitation". If it's about nukes, you don't abrogate the Treaty that already met your conditions. If it's about regime change, you don't attack with the Israelis and Saudis.

I would've loved to be the last generation of veterans. But as long as the ruling classes know they can trade the lives and health of poor kids for profit and power, we're always disposable. Fuck.

After reviewing last night's match, the committee has awarded Paul Rothrock an additional award along with his Man of the Match performance. The sideline signboard with which he collided was taken to Harborview Hospital for observation and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season.

A friend shocked me by telling me that he'd "rather have a hundred ice agents in my workplace than even a single undocumented immigrant." I was more than a little concerned about him until I remembered that he's a coroner.

So the Internet companies are supposed to hand over info on anyone who spoke disparagingly about immigration enforcement officers? I'm in Michigan. We've got about a hundred interpretations for the phrase "fuck ice". Have fun sorting that out.

From this day forth, I refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of any concert that does not have a choir of 9 year olds singing "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald".

Y'all remember when an NGO said that it would only take about 6 billion dollars to fix world hunger? And the Afrkaner Muskrat bet them that they couldn't come up with a plan or he would pay for it? Then they sent him a detailed plan? And then he donated the money back to himself? Fuck that guy.

I did not have "Jack Horner appears multiple times in the Jeffrey Epstein files" on my bingo card, but I may have to concede the TRex feeding habits debate to him. He certainly has insight into the behavior of predators.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I find that getting a shave and haircut always makes me content with my decision to not be Albert Anastasia.

To quote Jack Kirby: "Three of you, down in the Lobby? I'll be right down."

This is your semi-regular reminder that the eugenicists' holding in Buck v. Bell has still never been overturned.

I'm pretty sure that this is the most unhinged comic cover ever, and it makes me giggle, to the point that I'm pretty sure I have like 3 or 4 copies of it by now. Sure there are many bloodier or more brechtian, but for sheer lunacy? Challenge to @gailsimone.bsky.social and @gwillow.me to top it.

Munchausen by Nazi. I'm so jealous I didn't think of that.

Checked on my old xitter account this morning. These motherfuckers out here yelling about "white supremacy", like my dumbass ancestors didn't leave the beautiful Ethiopian Rift Valley and just keep going north until now I gotta wear sunscreen under fluorescent lights. Morons.

Bellicose Beluga in the deep blue sea,

"I do not owe civility to those who would see me exterminated." - James Baldwin, or Magneto, or possibly a pastiche of both.

Hey, so I'm coming up on 9 months dry (not a praise bait post, honest). Since, my coca-cola habit has skyrocketed, sometimes 3 litres daily. I rationalized it as harm reduction, but I'm pretty sure I've just swappped one harmful compulsion for another. Advice to progress to the -next- better step?

I'm still unsure how I became a dangerous radical because I believe that children should live without hunger, fear, or homelessness. Not be jailed, orphaned, or terrorized. To run after a ball, not from a drone. Someone much wiser than me: "The children are always ours, every single one of them."

First, they came for the immigrants and the trans folks. Then, they came for the guy in the inflatable frog costume (That was weird) Next, they came for the Schoolteachers and Soccer Moms. I feel like someone should map out this trajectory going forward. Maybe in poetry form? Just a thought.

There is -NO- moral or rational explanation for why a country with over 900 Billionaires should have -ANY- children depending on food aid. There is No Human reason why that food aid can be cut by a syphilitic con man who threw a tantrum because state governments didn't sufficiently suck up to him.

Watching white liberals waking up to the knowledge that their skin won't protect them from state approved violence, like Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, James Reeb, and Viola Liuzzo aren't names everyone should know.

Half the people are blaming a legal observer shot in the face in front of her wife and kid. The US abrogated 66 more treaties and global cooperatives for peace, justice, and ecology. The president threw a tantrum and cut food aid to starving children. I'm thinking America might not be okay, guys.

New insult, inspired by late night Walmart run... "That's the kind of white trash that's gonna show up to the rally in My Little Pony sheets."

Nothing will ever beat the bleak hilarious absurdity of Blackadder Goes Forth (The WWI season). "Who would've noticed another mad man around here? Good Luck, everyone." From one of the most densely hilarious scripts ever, despairing inevitability.

Hey. Remember when that kid shot that guy, and healthcare executives were going on tv weepng about how inhumane it was to feel helpless with the thought that a random stranger could hold the decision between life and death over them? Because I think about that shit all the time.

Ok, so if it's suddenly acceptable under international law to kidnap a head of state and his wife for making terroristic threats, conducting economic warfare, and threatening to take control of an extractive resource, Prime Minister Carney has the opportunity to do the funniest fucking thing ever.

How many more poor kids on both sides are gonna die or live in permanent pain with the horrific aftermath because this regime wants to play GI Joe? The last time we did this, Rumsfeld, Cheney, and The Painter put far too many of my friends in the dirt while the rich chased corporate profits.

Overheard on the bus: "I'm telling you. You know that them thar commie liberal nazis is coming after our seventh amendment rights next! Guv'mint better know we gonna stand up and fight if they try and force a federal small claims court on We The People. Twenty Dollars forever, goddamn it!"

Noted bleeding heart liberal... Max Boot?

"The power to destroy a planet is insignificant compared to the power of cognitive dissonance." Seriously, these fucking people must've been watching the back of their TVs all this time. It's not like Lucas has ever been subtle.

I was pretty damn healthy, and COVID nearly killed me. Also left me with the brain fog that knocked me out of Law School for the foreseeable. If I hadn't been vaccinated, I'd be significantly less vocal on here. (I'll leave that to each of you if that's a good thing or not).

Everybody of a certain generation knows that "Up-Up, Down-Down, Left-Right, Left-Right. B-A, Start" is the famous Konami Code. Fewer people know of its corollary: "Je t'aime, mon Coeur", the Monami Code.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
