Fav part of this: if liberals are the “new racists” then who were the “old racists,” Mysterious Figure?

The 12th Amendment was a mistake. We should repeat it and let VPs be free!

Was just reading the comments on LinkedIn and... it's possible that bluesky is NOT the worst social media site at getting jokes.

Thread: that time the Brockton, MA police chased down one Black guy on an ebike with a helicopter.

In July, I took a ride through the Arizona desert with Verlon Jose, chairman of the Tohono O’odham Nation, a sprawling reservation on the U.S.-Mexico border that may soon be changed forever. It was the beginning of an investigation that ProPublica is publishing today. THREAD ⬇️

MFers then: We're going to deport the worst of the worst MFers now: Turns out that deporting children is more our speed #AbolishICE #AbolishDHS

Holy shit.

My tolerance for chaos is pretty high (probably too high), but standing kickscooters are *really* chaotic. Guy didn't yield at a stop sign and then swiveled to cross behind my bike and jump from the road to the sidewalk. Turn radius is too tiny, and hard to predict what line they will take.

Was that an F-15 flying up river over the Hudson just now?

I'm just saying substituting milk for clotted cream with your cereal is an option many people have not considered or even trie

Yesssssss. New Jersey cities are coming through to stop-the-chop 🛑🚁 "Kearny filed its lawsuit in Hudson County Superior Court. The town is joined in the case by Hudson County, Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne and Union City" gothamist.com/news/nj-comm...

For those who haven't heard yet, the Miami Herald's corporate owners at McClatchy today laid off the paper's superb veteran soccer reporter Michelle Kaufman. An utter disgrace, and an enormous disservice to fans of the local soccer team that draws a lot of media interest in town and worldwide.

Was just informed that @seattletimes.com is ceasing beat coverage of soccer. Massive loss for both local and national soccer community.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

I keep seeing the media talk about his conflicts of interest and like, are you new here? There are no conflicts. There is only one interest and it isn't the US.

The 700-stall parking garage was the number one ST3 priority for the City of Renton. If ST stays in budget, the garage will cost $143,000 per stall.

ICE snatched up a Senegalese college basketball player with an ACL injury in a Kentucky airport. She’s “in so much pain” and needs surgery, but is being transferred from camp to camp with little more than ibuprofen. www.kentucky.com/news/state/k...

PSA: "tho" and "thru" as alternate spellings of though and through are in the @merriam-webster.com dictionary and were popular even back in the late 19th century. Let the spelling scolds know. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tho

"Criminal" thieves and burglars never manage to steal more than a fraction of what employers steal.

Wrote it with Rob Smigel. And yes, it was pulled from reruns.

This thread is the only way I ever want to learn a team has been eliminated

Ryan Hunter didn't enter the match against her home state Tar Heels until the third set. But she made the most of her time on the court with 6 kills on 7 swings as she sparked Nebraska to a win. “She brought that fire and that energy,” Dani Busboom Kelly said. roundtable.io/sports/ncaa/...

Did DEI close the Strait of Hormuz? No. But it hasn't re-opened it either.

Ok, what if instead we tried United *Cities* of America for a little while and see if that works any better?

Trump is trading more stocks than every member of Congress COMBINED. This corruption is exactly why we need to pass my bill that would ban Congress AND the president from owning stocks. All elected officials need to be held accountable, especially the president.

Susan Sontag's 9/16/01 piece in The New Yorker got her crucified but it's one of the few things from that era that aged well. "'Our country is strong,' we are told again and again. I for one don’t find this entirely consoling. Who doubts that America is strong? But that’s not all America has to be."

BREAKING: a whistleblower has just quit company wikiHow, warning that within ten years, advanced wikiHow illustrations may kill us all
