Here's the thing: I hope we do well but we already won the chip. The monkey is off our backs and chilling in his enclosure. Everything else is gravy.
Dan Devine@yourmandevine.bsky.social · 19h agoAt Y! Sports: I wrote about the NBA champion New York Knicks, who will awaken from their fever-dream summer tonight with a bullseye on their backs, and the challenge of writing an encore to a story too good to be true: tinyurl.com/ywwb72d3
I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 12h agoBREAKING WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.
this is my favorite Hard Times headline, I think about it every time I see the words "remastered" on a reissue which means pretty much every time I see a reissue
I presume most of y'all also lurk on reddit, so let me tell you: r/accelerate is consistently the dumbest/most insane shit you'll see in a day. I'm not recommending it because it's sick people, but it is clarifying as to what's going on.
Second verse same as the first.

"No, but we're still racist" is the most Alberta result possible
This is excellent stakes-raising. On a good day, I feel like I might could take Syril. But if Cinta's on your trail? RIP.

Kevin Murphy@kevincmurphy.com · 12mo agoThe folks who are inordinately psyched Syril (and to a lesser extent Viserys) is joining next season of Slow Horses...those are my people. You'll know if you're one if you also were inordinately psyched when Hugo Weaving was previewed similarly a few years ago.
Rest in peace, Richard Riehle. always great, did tons of horror films.
Will Harris@willharrisinva.bsky.social · 2d agoI’m so very sad to hear about the passing of the wonderfully mustachioed character actor Richard Riehle. He was a delightful guy and I had the honor and pleasure of interviewing him twice, but we were also Facebook friends and traded many messages and comments over the years.
We taught this chimpanzee to understand the East of Eden discourse on TikTok and he hanged himself
The people telling you transphobia is a winning position are lying to you in order to lead you into Hell.
Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 3d agoNARRATIVE BUSTER: After months of anti-trans ads by Republicans, the latest ABC/Washington Post/Ipsos poll shows... Democrats have a +9 advantage on "transgender issues." abcnews.com/Politics/dem...
a fairly new type of brazen lie is to post a lie with a link to a video that categorically disproves your lie. this was pioneered by terfs who would post like "watch me get ASSAULTED by trans radicals" and the video just shows people milling about at a protest.
So, You Can See Everything. I'm not gonna say I didn't like it - I enjoyed myself - but it wasn't asking the questions I find interesting about all this. We already know she's a liar. Throw a rock in the air in Silicon Valley and you'll hit a sociopath like Billy. But *why* was she such a thing?
I just saw that JD Vance is doing a campaign event in North Platte, Nebraska. Friends, if you don’t know my home state this is like if Democrats were so far on the back foot they were having to send people to campaign in Bushwick or downtown LA.
Obama's statement should have come from Chuck Schumer et al and the fact that it didn't means that everyone should demand Schumer et al's resignation for being ISLAMOPHOBIC and also TERRIBLE "Leaders"
They are absolutely doubling down on a bold faced lie. They are betting the bank that people will believe what they say as opposed to the video evidence. Incredible. And incredibly insulting to all of us who can watch the video.
i have yet to see a non-loser explain exactly why we need to throw our trans friends in the garbage to win. it sort of seems like the losers who lost are the ones saying that
It should not have taken ten years to crack the code on this
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoOssoff: "Maybe you saw that Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday, oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one enduring two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its 5 month high"
This isn't just politics, this is community management, patient parenting, and a civics lesson all in one. We need a hundred just like Abdul.
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.
RFK Jr won’t answer a reporter’s question about…measles? The man who runs the federal health system won’t answer questions about a national public health crisis I mean, I get he literally has zero knowledge of, training in, or expertise on any area of health—inducing deadly infections—but COME ON
Thomas [DARK MODE], DO 🫐@tom.medsky.social · 3d agoMad props to reporter Chrise Horne WAVY-10 Reporter: Mr. Secretary, do you believe that five deaths, potentially six, from measles in the state of PA— Staffer: We’re also not going to talk about measles. R: He’s the highest ranking health official in the country. He can answer that question.
