I was excited for you can see everything but was left wholly underwhelmed. Nathan finally met his match in Holmes who stonewalls him the whole time by pretending to know nothing and saying she did nothing wrong.

The whole issue with the payment for the documentary was Holmes playing dumb. If she lied about so much, why wouldn’t she lie about there being no monetary involvement? Both of them finessed Fielder into making a sympathetic movie about them which instills doubt about whether they were wronged.

The guy that got the right to repudiate Bush and the Iraq war was Tramp when he first ran in 2015. He chided Jeb and later Hillary for supporting the war, which is where the myth of him being a peacenik comes from. Dems need to learn from that and stop being scared.

begging people not to let the right get away with their decade of support for trump the way we let them get away with backing bush and the iraq war (and reagan before that) i am pleading

A car and a store are both enclosed spaces. If you’re that agoraphobic just stay indoors and don’t leave the house.

I wrote about this in my memoir, Warrior: My Path to Being Brave. I worked for the Patriots as the Cheerleader Director/Choreographer in the early 90’s. I was asked by Jonathan Kraft to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist. I refused, was fired, sued for wrongful termination and won.

I didn’t have the energy to follow this team with a new coach and having to endure rebuild team performances evoking the early rhoads/campbell years. After two games, this looks like an enjoyable team to watch, win or lose. Coaches seem to be giving off the right vibes too. #bluecy

Tell me you haven’t been to rural Massachusetts without telling me you haven’t been to rural Massachusetts

like this was a guy who thought the residents of rural Massachusetts were essentially subhuman, "white supremacy" would've seemed unacceptably tolerant to him

This day in history. 1990. Saddam Hussein appeared on television to explain that Kuwait was simply the 51st or rather the 19th state of Iraq so he was not an invader but just wanted the oil and minerals that were his or rather Iraq's by right; then he introduced his sons Saddam Jr and I think Eric.

Can someone from #rhodeisland explain why this is a big deal? So what if a basketball player invests in a team? Why does this seem to be controversial?

We investigated a sitting U.S. governor in the newest sequel to our Kawhi/Clippers investigation. It's fun

This Emily Wilson discourse sounds the same as incels and trolls who trash media franchises for not being whatever version they have in their head. Wilson’s whining is tolerated because she’s speaking from the ivory tower of academia.

The irony is thick with this one.

400 years ago? Ireland got its freedom 100 years ago, India less than 80 and the Caribbean are still looking for their islands back. They're still colonizers. I will be just supporting Spain

#mexico deserbed to lose that game. They played dirty and their fans disturbed England all night. They were playing against 10 for the majority of the second half off a gifted red card but did nothing with it. They had no business advancing. Seeing the Azteca silent was great.

Remember people decrying capitalism, greed, bigotry of barring certain nationals, and the stench of Tramp on the World Cup? Now see how everyone is cheering for the USA, looking forward to future games and the stuff above has taken a backseat? Congratulations 🎉🎈 Y’all have been sportswashed

With all this bsky is dying discourse, need to say that bsky is just more fun than X. X is full of idiotic promoted posts discussing stuff like gender wars and racist apologia. Journos and the like are suppressed. Not much use for it. This site is just way more interesting with better people.

The monoculture is stronger than ever. You’re just not a part of it. Young folk communicate through memes, streamers, influencers and trends that are universal and transcend the reach of any tv show. Music spreads through social media and streaming services. Mtv is dead.

The explosion of internet-enabled cultural production means that no we're not moving towards a monoculture at all. There is no MASH, no Friends, no Cheers anymore. There's no Dickens or Agatha Christie or even Dan Brown anymore. There are simply too many options for everyone to converge on one.

I don’t like strickland, but if he manages to pull the upset, it would bring me great joy to think of the degenerates who lost money betting on chimaev #ufc328

Too bad this has been a tedious, boring card and sapped any hype I may have had for the main event.

Giant Robot@encomium.bsky.social

The heat generated for Chimaev-Strickland has me stoked for the fight in a way I haven’t been for years.

This is the viral load that created a lot of furries.

Your unpopular opinion(s) about Lola Bunny. (She may not be from the classic shorts, but she has become such an important part of the franchise in recent years that I feel it would be wrong not to include her here.)

One of the most painful reminders of inflation is watching old episodes of supermarket sweep and seeing how much more people were able to buy vs how little you would get for the same amount.

Lol, said with the arrogance of a buffoon who doesn’t get the joke but wants to say something anyway. ** in case you didn’t get it, flat earth refers to the discworld.

Sorry buddy, you don’t get to preach how the oppressed are supposed to feel about their oppressors. Humanizing them excuses their behavior. His gang of incels, racists and you can celebrate him.
