November 16, 2014 I attended two NFL games on the same day. Vikings@Bears and then Patriots@Colts for SNF. I've always wanted to do it again... here are the options this year if you're interested.

If you start a war and then something happens in retaliation (Hormuz closed) and then the war ends and the thing that happened stays that way, you lost the war

Aman Batheja@amanbatheja.bsky.social

New: The White House is signaling that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not a must-have to end the Iran War, potentially setting the stage for Iran to continue to flex its strategic position over one of the world's busiest oil shipping channels for the foreseeable future

“They say to me ‘mr president sir, where’s Waldo? We can’t find him sir. We don’t know where he is’ and i look and i point and say ‘there he is’ and they all burst into tears can you believe it? Just like that i point to him. They didn’t know but i did”

This explains why Massachusetts has been notoriously without any championships over the last quarter century.

This is why all the best players always sign with the Bengals and Browns. Sorry libs!

I stopped gambling (mostly) last year and the way the books hound you with notifications/emails to Get Back In The Game should 100% be illegal like if Coors could text drinkers "15 days since your last beer ... sounds like you need an ice cold Coors Light" and also their phone could give them a beer

“You know what this dessert needs? Olive oil.” - actual people, apparently

My “100% REAL Ice Cream” label seems to be raising a lot of questions already answered by my label.

How are more people not talking about this???

Olympics curlers should be able to drink beers during their meets (3 max, must be from either home or host country)

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

Patriots defense is gonna get soooo winded if the offense can’t string a drive together.

Christ, this (from Lizza's latest) is pretty fucking damning of...literally the entire media(?) What the fuck?

That there’s not a massive, credible, instant, bipartisan impeachment/25th Amendment move over these senseless and destructive Greenland threats is a sign of how broken our politics are — and especially how broken the Republican Party is.

This hits on something that a friend said to me that I think is absolutely right: people who are not grasping the gravity of the situation & meeting the moment, where politicians have utterly abandoned us, are doing it because of the fear of confronting that there are no guardrails anymore.

A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

Do you think either Putin or Xi would rather have (a) Greenland or (b) the NATO alliance fighting each other and falling out over Greenland?

Good thread article but i think it misses the larger point: having all this boiling over so Trump can invoke the insurrection act and avoid any future elections

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2053...

There is no scenario where Tricia McLaughlin would not blame the victim, would not allege, with zero evidence, that they have assaulted the DHS agent. It his her default setting.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

McLAUGHLIN: Racial animus has no place in DHS and of course is not use CNN: *plays clip of ICE agents asking Minneapolis woman where she was born* McLAUGHLIN: I haven't seen this clip before. She might've been assaulting law enforcement prior to this.

Quite the fascism indicator…

City of Minneapolis@minneapolismn.gov

Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost. Learn more: https://www.minneapolismn.gov/getting-around/parking-driving/impound-lot/#d.en.200746

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

more and more lately i’ve been thinking, christ, they’ll murder you for any reason, they’ll do it for no reason, they’ll do it while your back is turned or while you’re driving away. what incentive do i have NOT to laugh in their stupid fucking hog faces

mighta been something to the "don't give him an excuse" stuff in trump's first term but it's clear now when he wants to see something he just makes it so. he's the showrunner of the news. head of the executive producer branch. when he wanted to see boats blow up he didn't wait for them to act unruly

The people of Minneapolis are going to be out there icing up sidewalks and streets like Macauley Culkin.

The ICE recruits who just arrived in Minneapolis from Alabama are in for a treat starting Saturday.
