My god these fox World Series announcers are unlistenable. You can practically see their fingers dragging along under the lines of the background stories that they’re reading aloud.

I'm so *tired* of people blaming every fascist movement on "material conditions," especially in the US. If you actually look at the history and the empirical data, "economic anxiety" is almost always a polite cover story for white status panic.

Dawg we are talking about 1966, no American white working man was suddenly getting left high and dry by deindustrialization or austerity or recession The only “radical shift in the material conditions” was “you have to let black people into your school/office/shop/apartment block now”

That was some good baseball there

There's plenty to be disgusted by in this account, but note that Alina Habba was working on this arrangement while employed by the DOJ - i.e. we were paying her to funnel bribes up the ladder. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

A Billionaire Wanted a Trump Pardon. His Family Gave Alina Habba a $50 Million Deal. (Gift Article)

Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to President Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

There’s a seasonal lull in tv sports right now because I just watched 10 minutes of harness racing.

You’ll see us together, chasing the moonlight, my cinnamon swirl.

This is good stuff here.

For a bit different kind of weekend inspiration, please share a picture of what you consider to be the best piece of ARCHITECTURE in your city, however you choose to define architecture. Bonus points for less-then-obvious choices, and for explaining your answer.

The rare warm and clear day in the Sundet where everything looks great. An unexpected bonus was some pretty good food at Stonestown, a formerly dreary mall where we had Taiwanese popcorn chicken, poke bowl, and doner kebab. Who knew?

There’s so much to see in one spot and on a sunny day the light and the shadows and all the shapes are amazing.

It’s easy and fun to be a tourist in San Francisco. Fort Point under the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most beautiful spots in town. Hills, ocean, the city skyline, the bridge, the fort, all in one place.

"Invites scrutiny"

You fuckers made me do it. The Racist Academicals Patter Song.

Someone on Reddit posted this 1926 Soviet poster series on how to treat books, and it is wonderful.

45 down and 5 to go

I am told I am experiencing an earthquake swarm but I am blissfully unaware of it so far. I should treasure this moment.

From 2012. The kitchen curtains made great pinhole images in the fridge. Best eclipse I’ve ever seen. It was noticeably dark and all the crows started squawking like crazy.

I guess the reflecting pool story must relinquish its “apt metaphor” crown now.

So what are we calling the special catering container that recently hid Orange Julius? Meal Force One? The Persian Kettle? I know there's better to be had than this but please let's share.

Look there - it’s Kid Congo Powers and the Pink Monkey Birds. At Bottom if the Hill in SF (a great venue that may soon close alas). He was a guitar player for some groundbreaking bands and he’s still as inventive as ever.

Well zut alors.

Good lord the only thing I did successfully today was renew my library card and that was harder than I thought it would be

How long until loyal Trumpanzees start showing up on camera with huge shit stains on their pants to demonstrate how cyclosporiasis is no big thing, thereby OWNING THE LIBTARDS

This is footage of ICE handcuffing a 26 year old father after murdering him in broad daylight. We cannot look away. Abolish ICE. Abolish qualified immunity. Hold these murderous thugs accountable.

FIFA I’ve been treated very unfairly and I need you to find me four goals

JFC I’ve been rooting for the wrong team for 20 minutes based on bizarre uniform color choices again.

We’re already playing two countries at once and now our star player is ejected!

WE GOT! A murder of crows flying gloriously in front of a nearly full Moon as they head off to roost for the night! I've been trying to get this for years, you really only get one chance a month Hell yeah nature! Go log off, set a meaningless personal goal, achieve it, then go do it again! Joy!!🪶

Mechanism and updated prediction for the epic fail of Lincoln Memorial Bioreactor's polyurea coating! First chemistry, then physics It was sprayed in big sections. In addition to pool edges, failure will concentrate at the OVERLAP SEAMS between sections because they likely barely bonded at all. 1/x

Happy Fathers' Day to All
