How close is a wolverine to a honey badger? Because Yaxel Lendeborg don't care. Yaxel Lendeborg don't give a shit. Dude is hooping. #Warriors

Yaxel Lendeborg is going to be fun. He's this mix of raw talent and skill, but his NBA speed and smarts will take time to catch up. He's got good instincts that just need cultivation. But he's definitely got something that should keep him in the NBA for a long time. #Warriors

* Trump starts the war with Iran * Gas prices skyrocket * Trump acts like the war will be brief * Trump demands gas prices be lowered, probably because he's looking bad * Eight months pass * Now Trump brags about how much money they're making * He doesn't care about high prices

Fuck this bitch-ass Trump forever.

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

Interesting, and telling, that a segment of America that rails about the threat of Muslims wanting to enact Sharia Law here happen to be... ...wait for it... Christian Nationalists who want to force Christianity on all by law. Things that make you go "Hmm." Good ol' Fundies.

For those who need to hear it: Trump's corrupt DOJ has no jurisdiction or legal basis to attempt to do anything with holding up or refusing to certify state elections. They continue to push an agenda based on nothing but lies.

My opening purchase of Accenture (ACN) has remarkably doubled in just four months since getting it during that massive selloff in mid-June. That's actually insane. I never would have expected such a fast recovery. It was a small, exploratory position, but wow.

I think I learned 'dumb' had a B in it back around first or second grade. By the way, Donald Trump was still dumb as fuck back then. Now he's even dumber.

A reminder: fuck Donald Trump, fuck MAGA, and fuck Elon Musk. Fuck Vladimir Putin, and fuck Benjamin Netanyahu, as well. Also, fuck John Fisher, fuck Rob Manfred, and fuck MLB.

"In other words, the complaint contends: Freedom Fuel gas is cheap because it’s stolen..." "The man registered no surprise — aware of the Trump promotions, he declared this White House 'the most crooked-ass shit I’ve seen in my gangster motherfucking life'...” www.politico.com/news/magazin...

politico.comTrump Promoted Suspiciously Cheap Gas Stations. Here’s What He Didn’t Tell You.The president celebrated a gas discount. Was it legit?

It's time to retire the Scaramucci measurement of time and replace it with the Zacharia. Sorry. Them's the rules. I don't make 'em.

Only question, I think, with that final Kupp play, is where he crossed the sideline. NFL rules have, IIRC, something about where the ball is at that moment. Either way, #49ers were fortunate to escape with a W considering the JSN drop before. #Seahawks

Dre Greenlaw, you absolutely cannot be doing shit like that on the opposing sideline or at all. Play's over. You got the flag for the hit on Darnold and maybe that was borderline, but headbutting Jones afterward in the scrum? Come on, dude. #49ers #Seahawks

Jacksonville just snatched victory from the jaws of defeat after snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. #Jaguars #Eagles

My only guess for Trump's idiotic "Nobody knows 'dumb' has a 'B' in it!" bullshit is that he uses 'Dumocrats' as an insult and is too braindead to figure it out. What a stupid fuck.

Donald Trump can't even fix a pool properly. How's he supposed to fix America? Oh, wait. He hasn't, and he never will. Wake the fuck up already, MAGA.

Two nights in Pasadena for Oasis in 2025. Two more coming up in Las Vegas in 2027. Let's run it back...and maybe play Columbia this time! That'd make me very happy.

Boycotting food because it's Halal has got to to be one of the absolute dumbest and pointless things fakeass Christian MAGA morons have ever tried to do, and they've done some pretty stupid things. Most of this is just performative outrage for views, anyway. They have no sense.

Watching the far right get their panties in a bunch over Tillamook is both laughable and pathetic at the same time. Clown show, example #7516785460.

Aaron, simply *referencing* camps when talking to someone who is under the sort of existential threat that trans people are should be unacceptable. it doesn't need to be a "direct threat".

James reposted

the post you referenced *was* saying trans ppl deserve to be sent to the camps. are you saying that isn’t a threatening message targeted at a protected category? or that it is one and you just don’t care. if it’s the former, you cant read and shouldn’t be moderating websites. if its the latter, wtf.

This response should be instant removal from his position. It is not just tone deaf, it tone deaf to the degree that it paints the company itself in a bad light. If the standard for toxicity is wide enough to include that statement than there is no standard at all.

It is extremely, EXTREMELY, insensitive to descendants of the Holocaust to in any way downplay the seriousness of talking about people being "sent to camps", a statement that should not be normalized in any way at all. Ever. Because of all the people that died, Aaron.

Endorsing a HOSTILE environment that lets bullies enact psychological harm to vulnerable users—significant proportion of your site’s user demographs btw—is grossly violating the scope of what we assume “Bluesky Head of Trust and Safety” means. Call out: @aaron.bsky.team if you no longer feel safe
