This is just downright ghoulish behaviour from the extreme right wing libertarians in power. Straight up greedy evil.

In The Rock 8/5/1969: Straight outta Ann Arbor, The Stooges’ debut album screams to life, confusing 97% of people who hear it. The other 3% hear a rock and roll manifesto made of fuzz, rage and freak-out. #TheStooges #IggyPop #RockHonorRoll #RockAction #De2Roit
Struggling to even understand what the point of this editorial is. It feels like there's a giant hole in the middle of it where a call to action should be.
Max Fawcett@maxfawcett.bsky.social · 7h agoThis is genuinely astonishing: a piece by the Globe and Mail’s editorial board lamenting the “new normal” of wildfires and summer smoke and no mention whatsoever of a) climate change, or b) the burning of fossil fuels that causes it. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...
Here's what I remember about this album when it came out - my stepmother wouldn't allow me to have it because, her words, "Debbie Harry is a whore". I already owned Queen, Kiss, The Knack. But Blondie was the red line. Thankfully she was sent packing shortly thereafter.

Prepare for an insane explosion of Islamophobia between now and November, from the same people on the right (and center!) who pretend to be exercised by the rise in anti-Jewish bigotry. The hate will be off the charts and make the anti-Zohran campaign look tame. Mark my words.
BREAKING: Abdul El-Sayed has won Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary — defeating the candidate backed by Chuck Schumer, the party establishment and more than $50 million in outside spending. AIPAC tried to buy this election. Michigan voters refused to sell it.
Someone spare a thought for James Carville in these trying times.
Abdul El-Sayed will win the Democratic nomination for US Senate in Michigan, CNN's Decision Desk projects, handing progressives a major win in a critical battleground primary. He defeats Rep. Haley Stevens. https://cnn.it/4w6wmLu
Sunrise Movement co-founder William Lawrence will win the Democratic primary in Michigan's battleground 7th Congressional District, CNN's Decision Desk projects, in the latest victory for the party's rising progressive wing. Follow live updates: https://cnn.it/3TCons8
I am as casual as it gets to watching the Whitecaps (I have my reasons aplenty), but tonight I have the opportunity to watch the game. Oh what's that? It's on *squints at screen* Apple TV? Is that a...good thing? Oh well.
Did anybody else know that the U.S charged the countries for playing the World Cup? They could have waived the fee too (obviously) but didn’t If you work in the U.S you get taxed, many countries especially in the cases of international tournaments waive that however in exemptions for athletes
Man Incognito@sjbrewer.bsky.social · yesterday🧵 🚨 Jordanian FA accuses FIFA of 'blackmail' 🚨 Prince Ali bin Hussein - There is no shortage of issues regarding FIFA. Let me start by clarifying what some of these are from an FA perspective, in particular that of Jordan going into a World Cup for the first time.
The US host cities for the 2026 men's World Cup claim that they were *verbally* promised $1 million each by Gianni Infantino and that FIFA hasn't paid up. Truly incredible stuff. www.nytimes.com/athletic/749...

This is me as well, and he isn't going anywhere right now so do I stop supporting Spurs because of it? No, he'll be gone eventually and hopefully he doesn't show his garbage human side before he's gone. Thanks for saving us from relegation, and I hope the football improves, but it feels a bit grimy
milo@notthatmilo.eurosky.social · 2d agoI can't answer for the others. My position hasn't changed from when he was appointed but I am going to piss people off if I go on about it every week. He's undoubtedly a good coach and I'll hold off until he does something shitty at Spurs. Fully aware of what has happened at former clubs
Oh well. The world is in a constant burn cycle but at least the ribs last night were killer. Killer ribbage helps redirect the brain towards bliss. Mo ribbage, mo betta.
The Net Stupid fuckwits ignored the scientists… Then they ignored the army citing global warming as an existential threat… They ignored the countries who said they were suffering from climate change ….

The fact that a major US bank closed 385 accounts tied to the US President for suspected money laundering really ought to be on the front page of every newspaper in America, and lead story on every news bulletin.
Capital One says it closed Trump Organization accounts over money-laundering concerns
The bank is asking a judge to permanently dismiss a lawsuit from Trump-affiliated businesses, arguing a monthslong internal review — not the Jan. 6 riot — explains why hundreds of accounts were shut d...

Gakpo doesn't exactly fill with confidence, does he? An upgrade on Tel right now but not by all that much and he's 27?
I'm just going to keep screaming this until I'm hoarse, but until Trump the norm -- for 50 years -- was that sitting presidents had their taxes audited by the IRS and released to the public to show they were clean. But Trump refused repeatedly, and sued when his return was leaked, and now ... this
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d agoFLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
