RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

i dont think this man's perspective is unique. people believe theyre doing good by "following the law". i think people also don't think that they're a part of the system they operate within

In interviews, Alexander described the immigration system he was enforcing as “skewed” and “weird,” but he saw himself as largely separate from these concerns. “If you’re taking federal money to do a job,” he says, “I think you should do the job.”

genuine question. why does youtubetv not record certain games because “programs airing on local stations outside your home area can’t be added to your library”?

this mf is so deep in this ideology he's not worth talking/listening to imo. the amount of tv i watch and weed i smoke and times i jerk off does not have anything to do with my (in)/ability or desire to work.

This is the most depressing thing you’ll read today. They’ve dropped out of the workforce because being unemployed isn’t so bad if you can just stay high and play games and watch porn.

imo my mental maladies are keeping me from working 40-hours a week in a job where i could "make a difference" — i used to teach ffs. but it doesn't seem like tom is as interested in helping me work through my problems as much as he is in finding the areas in which i fit his theory and yelling at me

It's a choice (a bad one) to tell readers this driver "passed too close to cyclists" when there's video evidence showing he drove his car into them, made contact and hurt someone. Fellow journalists: we can explore the nuances of punishment for drivers without obfuscating their dangerous behavior.

From 1982-2018 the RNC that Rodgers invokes was under a federal consent decree that restricted its ability to engage in "ballot security measures" to intimidate voters. This is why. There is a reason Rodgers talks about Detroit and no other part of the state. Same reason as always.

Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters "We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

The people who clutch their pearls about this are also the same people who get upset about women divorcing their abusive husbands. Abusers are scared of losing their control. Children and spouses, are seen as property by far too many.

this was an insane story to hear the other night when they told it on the air. bauers was going to retire until his wife got pregnant, so he returned to the league to get on their health insurance.

April Glick Pulito@aprilglick.bsky.social

we should be framing the Jake Bauers insurance story as pro-player and anti-lockout these are not all millionaires a lot of them are guys who need healthcare for their families and are tied to a job just like you

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

theyve had like three jersey rebrands since the super bowl loss (in '16?!) and theyve all been fine overall but missed on a small element or all the elements may look fine alone but don't come together as a whole imo

they look too much like the bucs now that TB has gone with a dark grey instead of pewter post-alarm clocks

Since WWE's trying to exploit PAC's death, it's time to talk about this: Remember how PAC suddenly had visa issues when AEW started? That's because, when the AEW trademarks were filed, WWE called USCIS to claim he walked out on his visa. After leaving him alone for a year and giving him his release.

Replying to @davidbix.com

This is well-known throughout the wrestling business and among wrestling media. It was never reported because it's such a sensitive issue that everyone kind of quietly agrees not to report on that kind of visa stuff without the talent's permission. But with PAC passing away, that part is moot.

lmao RANDOM. i work in retail in a rural area. zero of the people i interact with follow political trends. their lives are small and tight (not derogatory), influenced by the people and things that go on in their immediate environment, which now includes gas at nearly $5/gal

Nathan Goldwag@goldwagnathan.bsky.social

I'll admit, part of why I'm so skeptical of the emerging realignment thesis of this election is that it just seems so *random* that it would happen NOW, after ten years of Trump being a remarkably consistent public figure and ten years of remarkably consistent political trends.

A forewarning that this one is difficult. But it’s a credit to Duncan Robinson and his family for telling it. They hope it’ll help others. And maybe it’ll be a good reminder that “we can all be a little less certain about knowing what someone is going through.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/761...

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

fucking scammers. god, im so livid. associating with Athena Auto Protection was a terrible decision and in trying to cancel my coverage with them, they gave me the runaround: “why wont you pay a lower price? what will you do if the car is damaged and youre not covered?” WTF DO YOU CARE?!

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.

But here's Rogers's backer, Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI), in Uganda in 2023, after that country enacted an LGBTQ+ death penalty and the US objected... ...telling Uganda to be on God's side, not America's... ...two months before endorsing Rogers in 2023.

this is exactly why any "dont talk politics" talk is nonsense. its simply a way to avoid having hard conversations. we prioritize immediate comfortability with our peers over long-term comfortability with our positions/values (which may not have anything to do with the people we see daily)

This post is unavailable.

the steelers have been an unserious franchise for 15 years. after SB43 (tomlin’s second year), theyve masqueraded as contenders. anyone who has watched this team thoroughly since then can see they don’t have enough to get over the hump, something holds them back every year.

they can be great in some areas but there’s often one or two areas that hold them back and they are never serious about correcting those things. they use antiquated thinking to address their problems and they won’t win as long as they continue that

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

It's not just Sheeran. Every touring musician should contact these venues (assuming they exist) and let them know they will not be playing shows there until the rights of artists to speak out is guaranteed. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
