Happy NBA Season to all who celebrate it

Primus Sucks! 😅

Holy shit.

in a just world someone would stone cold stun these guys into concrete

Because I know I'm gonna complain about the coaching somewhere down the road...let it be said... that was brilliant

5) there is a more logical explanation: lots of cheaper ACA plans have very high deductible and copays, so that you’d still avoid getting health care unless or until your seriously needed it. People choose these plans either because they think they’re healthy and won’t need it, or can’t afford it.

3) the only logical argument here is if insurance companies are signing up fake customers and then taking the government subsidies for that coverage, while paying out no claims. IF that is happening, it would be business/corporate fraud, not consumer fraud.

stone cold classic

Your dad would be proud as hell of you, my man.

404 Media is revealing the name of Border Patrol's predictive policing units, which analyze financial data and have local cops pull people over. The people are not suspected of any particular crime.

a lot of people want to believe that right-wing beliefs are rooted in some legitimate material grievance. that makes it easier to imagine that if we simply solved the material problem, they’d deradicalize. but they won’t, because they aren’t disillusioned, they’re just morons.

Sometimes I’ll be doing something and recall the mayor NYC now has. Instant good feeling!

This is a great example of why Jeffries is not the man for the moment, and a bad choice to be Speaker. Instead of hitting the unity notes that Dems are doing well in Michigan and Wisconsin, he’s obsessing about local NYC politics because he’s afraid of losing power and it’s hurting Dems nationally.

Lebron James is a 76er!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOO

“I am using common sense” mostly just means “I have chosen not to think about this or consider the perspectives of others.”

Got to meet a @phillies.com legend today!

there is no new deal without the influence of actual socialists and communists within the larger roosevelt political coalition

now to watch a match untainted by any player for whom fifa has ever made sketchy decision regarding red card suspensions *puts finger to ear* hold on a second, I’m getting a note

People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

That game was fucking sick. I love the World Cup. Soccer good.

LFG!!!

YESSSSSSSS FUCK YOU FIFA FUCK YOU REF FUCK YOU BOSNIA FUCK YOU ALL GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAL

fuck this ref. absolute bullshit

The argument is explicitly that high-propensity primary voters are rootless cosmopolitans who have disrupted the traditional relationship whereby incumbents represent the true will of the volk through a sort of mystic connection that can only be soiled by something as crass as an electoral contest

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."

"On June 14th, 2026, Donald Trump took the occasion of his birthday to turn the Lincoln Memorial into a catwalk for the fragile machismo of the American right. Immediately thereafter, he turned the mirror at Lincoln’s feet into a man-made swamp." www.liberalcurrents.com/let-us-refle...

Chef's kiss, salute, tears, all of it

FIFA organizers are enraged as they were led to believe that it's always sunny in Philadelphia

Was she telling people who would come in 5th place?

Knicks fans, it’s hard to process a playoff loss after a long win streak, but take a deep breath this morning and repeat to yourself: - That WAS the series turning point - The Spurs WILL win three of the next four - The League DOES want Wemby as their new face - You CAN’T stop it

Important to stress that: a) Pelley isn't some resistance hero, he's a reactionary centrist; b) Even this wasn't enough for Bari

Extremely funny to watch the right coalesce around “I’m in a bubble of morons, so this is impossible!” as an explanation for the LA mayoral results.

Can't recall a recent video that better captures Trump's essence. Misogynist goon sweatily belches out egregious lies to a woman reporter, insults and berates her when she asks for evidence, then storms off in anger, all while his spray-tan slowly slides down his face.

craaapp

we have a system where you have to beg the doctor every 1-3 months for the same fucking meds you've been on for years, and will probably be on your whole life, just because insurance believes that little roadblock might save them money if you think the AI is gonna streamline things you're a rube

this is such a good example of someone asserting that incivility lives in actions that hurt people, not in questioning those actions

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

I don't find this scary. I find it very encouraging the government lawyers exposed to the inner machinations of MAGA are saying we need a new constitution. We need to hear MUCH more of this & we need to hear it OUT LOUD!
