This is my account where I don’t worry about the outside world. I’ll still mostly be looking at science and nature and stuff like that. But kink and polyamory and queer issues are on the table too. That’s what being a human being is.

Currently doing my best to stay sane with hobbying, mostly Warhammer AoS and Magic the Gathering. I’m AoS, like in life, I play on difficult mode. #Warhammer #AgeofSigmar #Kruleboyz My latest:

And if I win a championship with the sixers, I’ll be the first 50 year old to win one. About the same odds.

Can’t help but notice Trump basically ignored the USAF birthday a few days ago. But it wasn’t 250. I’m sure there’ll be huge parades that he’ll be very involved in on Oct 13 and Nov 10 for the other services’ 250th. Since the multimillion dollar parade he demanded “wasn’t for him”. #USN #USMC

This kind of crap is why every idiot in this country thinks they can become a billionaire. He was the son of the owner. Who inherited the team. A riches to riches story.

From starting as a ballboy to owning the team, Jim Irsay will be remembered as a Colts lifer.

Kareem’s lifetime #nba scoring record felt like this to me. I never thought anyone could play that long at such a high level.

I'd say this is the first great sports record to fall in my lifetime that I honestly thought was unbreakable

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Again taking any opportunity I can to escape the real world situation by enduring yet another loss at #Warhammer #AgeofSigmar. This time at the hands of Sylvaneth in the Ravaged Coast campaign.

Let me write the opening script. “Because the government spending they’re illegally slashing is good for the country and good for the American people. “Cancer research. Disaster protection. National Parks. Disease prevention.”

Welker to Slotkin: "Democrats were in charge for four years. You were in Congress at the time. Why didn't Democrats do more to cut government spending when they were in charge?"

The entire premise of capitalism is that people who take risks deserve to be paid off when successful. But if you start out a multi-millionaire you have no accountability. The system is broken. And was broken deliberately.

The fact that Musk has lost $100B over the last month but is still the wealthiest person on Earth and financially unharmed in the slightest—all while wealth and income inequality is worse now than it was after the Great Depression—is Exhibit A on why we need to tax billionaires out of existence.

If nothing else, this should be a great demonstration of how absurdly powerful the chief executive of this country has become the last 60 years. The president was never supposed to have anywhere near the power Bush did, let alone the power Trump believes he has. We missed an opportunity in 2017.

The narrative pivot from “lol the dodgers are historical chokers who never win anything” to “the dodgers are so good it’s unfair to me personally and also bad for baseball!!!” in like a 3 month span has really been something to behold!

Can you imagine being from Oklahoma and saying, “yes, that’s my senator, and he was elected in a landslide to represent us”?

Markwayne Mullin: "Senator Kaine, or I guess I better use the senator from Virginia, starts bringing up the fact that 'what if you showed up drunk to your job?' How many senators have shown up drunk to vote at night? ... how many senators have gotten a divorce for cheating?"

So just to be clear, in a functioning democray this would have been a 9-0 decision. I am glad Roberts and Coney Barrett decided to participate in our democracy this year, but Kavanaugh and Gorsuch are clearly lost in the permanent wilderness of moral rot that long ago swallowed up Thomas and Alito.

Good to see sports discussion moving here. MLB: Dodgers WNBA: Sun MNBA: Lakers NHL: Kings MLS: Revolution NFL: Raiders I made an error when I was five years old and they moved to LA and now I’m miserable every fall.

I will always say that his real weakness as president was that he believed the American people were inherently decent and moral.

"when his church refused to integrate, he left to help found a new one that welcomed everyone" www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/o... many lovely factoids I didn't know about Carter, in this eulogy from @nickkristof.bsky.social

Just messaged my congressman telling him how disappointed I was. Guess hating trans kids is more important than the healthcare I’ve earned with 23 years of military service.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

1. Today, 81 Democrats voted for the NDAA, which pulls care from the trans kids of military service members, in what is seen as a betrayal of trans people by the Democratic party. EITM has published a full, easy to read list of their names, and how to contact.

I don’t think most people understand how justifiably frightened trans people are right now, and those of us who love trans people. This is the reason I’m cutting anyone out of my life who voted for this.

jae holzman@jael.bsky.social

i spent a month investigating how republicans could cut off access to trans healthcare for most americans, and how democrats can likely stop them — but it’s unclear if they will. tw: president of wpath warning of mass suicides www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Several years ago I believed that ACAB was an exaggeration. Getting harder to believe that.

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social

"For three years, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office produced its own crack cocaine, so it could sell it to people that deputies would then arrest for buying crack cocaine."

Most people are roasting the “unnecessary care” statement and they’re right to do so. Quick thought: this is very close to the same people who think that people are undergoing sex reassignment surgery on a whim.

Ken Klippenstein@kenklippenstein.bsky.social

United CEO Andrew Witty gave an address to the company today (leaked to me), telling employees "we guard against...unnecessary care" and that "There are very few people in the history of the U. S. healthcare industry who had a bigger positive effect on American healthcare than Brian [Thompson]."
