The Hunt For Red October is still a perfect film. Goodbye Tim. And Sean, and James, and Sam, and Fred. I’ll always love this movie

Baseball, movies, politics, etc. Good vibes only. I block anyone who puts me on a list.
The great majority of the people I work with are extremely educated, extremely experienced, and extremely good at their jobs. However we are at the mercy of others who are none of the three
Assuming all those 600 or whatever "defenders of academic freedom" who signed that letter in defense of the racist are on this? Right? Riiight?

You’ve got to understand the WNBA’s dilemma here: on one side are the hardcore, dedicated socially liberal fanbase who supported the league during the dark days when it was barely profitable and on the other side are the people who hate women and don’t think the WNBA should exist.
Jessica Luther@jessicawluther.com · 3d ago“The WNBA will not institute a league-wide ban on Freedom, according to a source with knowledge of the decision.” They are trying to lose me and it’s going to work the way this is going.
Not even mad any longer about the Tigers. I just wish the broadcast would stop pretending there’s still hope. Just gonna try to enjoy the occasional good plays regardless of outcome. And hope like hell Scott Harris will have poor luck finding his next job
musk endorsing this would have been the number 1 story in the world a few years ago, governments investing in him would've had to comment, investors would've got nervous now, nothing. we've just given up bsky.app/profile/polp...

Let’s just clarify further that what schools didn’t share with parents was if a kid asked to be called by a different name or pronoun. Obviously any medical treatment of any kind would only be initiated by parents with a medical professional. I say ‘obviously’ here but it’s not obvious to morons.
Just got a targeted ad on insta for some cosplaying evangelical christian nonsense disguised as “Jews.com.” Fuming mad
A really weird irony about the "authenticity" debate wrt rural volk vs cosmopolitan elites is that the actual culture of rural red state America in the 2020s is not actually authentic in any meaningful way?
Most who vote Democratic this November are voting for opposition. For someone to put more of a check on a lawbreaking, rights violating, power abusing White House. They are *not* voting for compromise to rescue Trump from his mistakes, and some will be disillusioned if that's what their vote gets.
Brian Beutler@brianbeutler.bsky.social · 4d agoThe Dem message to Trump should be that if he wants ANYTHING from Congress, he’ll have to stop all the flagrant abuses, and that their legislating will be aimed at protecting the public from rogue government. “Common ground” as an opening bid is a terrible posture. www.offmessage.net/p/hakeem-jef...
Anyone who spends any time here knows people fight about all sorts of stuff. “No Nazis” is kinda the one red line and frankly that was the ideological conformity of the entire world for more than half a century.

the "I'm a liberal but I hate trans people" bigots are out in force today, block quickly and maintain your peace as much as possible
I’d be like “when does football start” but The Lions are probably gonna suck too
There better be some big changes this off season. No more of the bullshit minor moves. If you really want to compete for a (cough) ring, you have to PAY FOR FUCKING FREE AGENTS!
What a pathetic week or so it’s been for the Tigers. Get right back into the thick of things, in playoff position, one game shy of .500 and then decide you don’t want to compete any longer. I’m apoplectic. And they look like they couldn’t give a fuck about it. I guess this is just a paycheck team
Wtf are you waiting for Ding? That pitch was 6 inches up
I hate my baseball team so damn much. My good lord. Sal is a thousand years old and is more cheeseburger than man at this point. How can you let him crush a ball to dead central?
How the fuck do you let that old ass fatso beat you deep to center? My lord
I don’t know if I can take another listless, going-through-the-motions performance by the tigers tonight. Something or someone needs to light a fire under some asses. I’m not generally a rah rah guy, but this team just doesn’t seem all that interested in winning
"The extraordinary tension underscores how far AIPAC's political standing has fallen amid voters' anger over the war in Gaza. Even Rogers — a staunchly pro-Israel Republican — fears the group's public support could be a liability in the Nov. 3 election."
Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 6d agoAxios reports that Rogers told AIPAC to not continue its planned attack ads against El-Sayed, ostensibly under the idea that it would backfire and help the Democrat. Axios adds this angered AIPAC officials but they’ve shelved the ads for now. www.axios.com/2026/08/22/m...
I argued back in 2022 that AIPAC should have stayed out of the primary between Haley & Andy Levin; she was gonna win easily anyway and I suspected their backing her actually *cost* her a couple of points. Even a lot of small-z zionist Jews like myself can’t stand them.
