We have like an actual, real-life example of leftism in conflict with itself for once... And instead of attempting to understand the conflict, people are just gonna act like it was absurd to be pro-Palestine after 10/7?? Ooookay then.

The key context to have is that Nithya was really bad on Palestine for a while. She distanced herself from DSA when they called for a ceasefire right after Oct. 7, focused on the hostages while ignoring the genocide, opposed BDS, sought an endorsement from a local pro-Israel group, etc.

Scrolled past this ha ha silly fun video of a momfluencer whose child literally sprints away from her the second he realizes she's about to prank him. She followed and forced him to witness it anyways, then laughs as he screams and cries. I don't understand why this shit is so popular online.

If your child can SENSE that you're about to disturb them and feels like they have to literally run away to avoid it (and then you force it upon them anyways??), I think you've failed as a parent. Like sure, ha ha, very funny, the internet loves it, but what an insane dynamic to force on your kids.

BTW I saw Wildwood yesterday and it truly is incredible. It was honestly kind of a mishmash of fantasy tropes & feelings, but was so fleshed out and lived-in that I was reminded of how it FELT reading through Chronicles of Narnia or watching LOTR for the first time. Very magical film. And intense!

*Mild Wildwood SPOILERS* - if hearing babies in distress is triggering, this is NOT the film for you 😬 there's a looottt of screaming baby in this one lol - I loved that it didn't lean into "scary witch is just misunderstood" tropes, this lady is EVIL, evil 😳 great character and performance, too.

These Timberwolves games have been so insane, it really hasn't hit me yet that we have Lamelo Ball on this team. Like, I've been low-key mad that he got ROTY over Ant for nearly a decade, and now he's actually on this team and is unlocking its talent to an insane degree. Lmao.

BTW, Kevin Calabro was stellar in his Wolves announcing debut. He was flying a million miles a minute but already sounded like he'd been studying the team for years, I was loving his calls.

He was losing it at some of the shit Lamelo was pulling off and it 100% matched the vibe of every Wolves fan losing their shit at home. Felt natural to an eery degree. Great stuff.

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

I get it, I like blowing off steam on here because my daily life is personified by me being polite in order to survive every social situation, but there’s gotta be some limits. You gotta have something that you love posting about that isn’t it just yelling at people οΏΌ

PJ Fleck acknowledging that his playstyle can be fucking annoying in the post-game interview is really funny

It's sad how that handsome bald man in a flannel going "Politics? TCH. Socialism is NOT the answer." in a very measured tone is probably the most effective political ad for idiot Americans.

If anyone's looking for some sicko football today; I just turned on the Minnesota vs Iowa game, watched the Gophers intercept the ball, then the Iowa defense forced a 3 and out, then the gophers forced a 3 and out themselves.... The score is 0-3 and I don't see that changing anytime soon lol

Iowa just converted a fake punt on 4th down then had to punt 4 plays later lmfao

10 seconds left in the half, Iowa QB in the redzone threw a pick TO A DEFENSIVE LINEMAN. I'm telling you, this game is something else 😭

In April the Cedar-Riverside Youth Council were collecting signatures for a petition needed to make repairs to the Brian Coyle Center. Four months later Jonathan Kuminga and Maya Caldwell were opening a new gym for the community. Read more below: zonecoverage.com/2026/timberw...

Centrists/liberals/whatever tf you wanna call them are the greatest threat to progress in this country. "Pragmatism" is a disease. And is often just a cover to quell actual pragmatic actions that are deemed too scary for the status quo.

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

I'm sorry but I feel like everyone being like "you DO NOT need to learn about the H3 crew" is over playing it a bit. Sure, nobody ever neeeeds to know about all online drama, but is it too hard to say "zionist lolcow youtuber who haraases womem and sues everyone is revealed to be a cheater, too" ?

I hate these smarmy fucks who act like the people they're criticizing don't still plug their noses and vote for the shitty dem 99% of the time just so they can tut-tut about people who aren't living in a fantasy liberal paradise like them.

It turns out that choosing the lesser of two evils is, in fact, a moral imperative. And some folks want to wait for the Revolutionary Perfect, but I would equally challenge them to demonstrate a single time where a 'start from nothing, year-0' revolution has turned out well for most people.

I think I hate that guy that goes around and just crashes/flips onto things near a crowd of people more than anyone on the planet.

It's like a pure distillation of all the worst aspects of social media. It's not clever or funny, it's not a prank, it's just being obnoxious near people to get a reaction out of them. Losers absolutely eat it up, and if it were anybody other than a white man, he'd be in jail.

If you don't believe it yet, you will understand pretty soon that American doesn't have its old government anymore. Even if the Democrats take office in literally every position, unless they go about rebuilding with a focus they've never shown before and do not indicate they have, this is over.

Democrats used to act opposed to violence at the border, now they just look at you like

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social

I believe we can have a secure border and a clear pathway to citizenship and we can do it without a rogue, illegal agency like ICE.
