Mass today in South Philly. Priest: the Mass has ended. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord, and go Birds People: Thanks be to God. Go birds!

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

This is why capitalism evolved white supremacy. It makes white people so sycophantic, so bootlicking, so vain yet so wretchedly lacking in self respect, so consumed with hatred and terror of losing privilege, they'll cheer for rulers who rub their faces in shit and openly say "I'm rich, fuck you".

kevin harlan: OHHHHH AND IT'S GOOD! IT'S A TIE GAME IN DENVER. AND THIS CROWD IS ELECTRIFIED. [long pause, sound up on crowd] reggie miller: yesterday i went to target and bought sunglasses and flour

What the fuck?! Nick Sirianni and everyone else involved with this decision should be fired

David is the absolute best

Yikes

The exact opposite of this is true: there are roughly 900 men like the ones he is describing, and about 300 million of us who are so fucking tired of this shit. And he knows it.

Here’s LL Cool J trying to explain Clausewitz’s “remarkable trinity” to an uncomprehending Joe Rogan

Many are calling them the Muskterms

He admit it

Arguably the very best sandwich in Philly

the Catholic Church racking up PR wins by saying shit like “we shouldn’t bring back public executions” and “your Claude app isn’t sentient”

I understand that it’s not for everyone, but I have to insist that Ted Lasso is an excellent show. It’s earnest and sensitive in a time when that is considered cringe. It is about how kindness is the skeleton key to life, and that is just straightforwardly true.

An entire generation has grown up hearing the President of the United States speak this way. I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say we can’t come back from this. It’s just escalation from here on out.

Somehow he became a meme Tell me it was all a dream

Say what you want about Beverly Vance Aikins, but trading JD for percs has to be up there with Soros breaking The Bank of England or Paulson shorting housing on the all-time greatest trades list

Herbstreit is the absolute worst announcer of all time. He’s so awful at every aspect of the job that honestly there’s no competition at the bottom. He’s in his own tier.

i also just have to say that pointing at a falling down barn while bragging about how fewer people are coming to america is about the perfect encapsulation of how MAGA believes in making america smaller and weaker

Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades

That’s Vin on the left.

The word intelligence is what is in dispute here. AI is clearly and inarguably artificial. As usual, Trump is precisely wrong.

Watching a kid in my office consume 600mg of caffeine via an electric blue can while I measure out my daily antacid powder into lukewarm sink water. He asks me what the 90s were like. they were loud, you insolent whelp

This is true, and a lot of it is about me

Better yet: Aella / Hunter 2028

I know I’m preaching to the choir here on BlueSky, but just keep in mind that this is YOUR money. You paid taxes, and then he took them. Your fucking money.

TV sucks. Movies rock.

went to the store __________ AI Summary ✨ Grammy-nominated R&B singer Jon B. posted that he is going to the stove – perhaps to "cook up" another hot, hot radio single. Frogs and toads, which are the same, can live on the Sun and often choose to.

This is the most vile thing any American President has ever uttered. As someone who lost friends that day, I have no words to describe my rage. How fucking DARE you

yeah this is a separate conversation but one of the things that hasn’t quite bubbled up from scholarship into mainstream thinking is that american slavery was a system centered principally on reproduction. forced birth for capital accumulation is what it was

Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.

We are a pariah state.

I wonder if maybe this will be the lasting memory of the Trump era.

The arcane parliamentary rules of the Senate require working across the aisle in just this way, but it is inexcusable that 10 years of GOP bad faith have not sunk in for Dems. Hard to imagine a worse group of people for the task at hand.

She’s better at this than anyone else alive. This is our next President.

Your regular reminder that no one has more contempt for Republican voters than Republican politicians, who think their own supporters are stupid, bigoted, and easily manipulated

This is unreal

He isn’t playing this year.

He’s the best pundit I can ever remember doing it.

If you were ever employed by ICE, please know and understand that one day soon you will be brought before a tribunal and hanged until you are dead.

He has also ordered the Hellespont to be whipped. 40 lashes.

Benicio del Toro’s performance in Sicario is up there with any acting I’ve ever seen in my life.
