I'll begin it with the chicken wing from Antonacci to Contreras at first, then the play at home
Beomoose@beomoose.bsky.social · 7h ago@cjzero.bsky.social you should find the clip of Connor Wong feeding Sam Antonacci his glove
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
Has anyone just tried standing up for others? Is that an approach?
The Athletic@theathletic.com · 19h agoAaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in. Three different approaches, one common result: criticism. Steve Buckley on how athletes can't win on social media: nyti.ms/3Sa9A7D
Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
seems interesting that the feds want maine signal rapid response chats (which by their nature aren’t obtainable because those spaces usually auto delete) and fascist infiltrators also apparently failed to gain access after their accounts got exposed
Is it good when the secretary of defense is so fixated on making sure everyone is white and has tv ready abs that he forgets about munitions bsky.app/profile/carl...

Major moment at WAFCON: Malawi, ranked No. 153 in the world and led by the Chawinga sisters, has advanced from the group at the expense of Zambia. Zambia, who w/ Barbra Banda were at '23 WC + last two Olympics, will not play at the 2027 World Cup. Tiebreak= goals for *in games between the 3*
Impossible to overstate what a perfect avatar White is for the entire Trump era of American politics: a ghoulish thug who, thanks to his extremely rich and shady friends, was able to scale a business model based on extreme labor exploitation into a multi-billion dollar global concern

By supporting Republican Mike Rogers, AIPAC is supporting ICE atrocities, the end of birthright citizenship, explosive diarrhea, anti-trans attacks, criminalizing abortion, white supremacy, and every single other evil Trump policy. That's who they are and what they support.
IMEU Policy Project@imeupolicy.bsky.social · 14h agoAIPAC is the biggest source of Republican money in Democratic elections, and now they are making clear they will spend even more to defeat Democrats in November. They advocate for policies the vast majority of Democrats viscerally disagree with. No Democrat should be taking money from AIPAC.

Tim Britton (he/him)@timbritton.bsky.social · 6h agoJefry Yan records his first big-league strikeout (and celebration) against his first hitter.
all these Big Bad Tough Guys always pass the buck. I know it's a feature and not a big but always funny to see the lengths they'll go to point fingers

Reading up on the Atlanta TAD legislation and they have written down that tax allocation districts will reduce child poverty in the city by 25 percent by 2030. Big if true.
"Cool dude, see you in discovery!" is the obvious UNO Reverse card to Trump's attempts to bully organizations by suing them for a trillion dollars. It's a massive indictment of the US system that one after another institutions and major organizations settled and paid bribes rather than play it.
Graham Lanktree@glanktree.bsky.social · 9h agoPresident Donald Trump is seeking to stave off a court order that requires him to begin giving the BBC financial details on his business empire by Thursday in connection with a defamation lawsuit he is pressing against the network. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
Ironically, the way mainstream papers lower the bar to give space to middling hacks in the name of ideological diversity is the closest real-world phenomeon to how MAGA imagines DEI works. Does anyone think we’d know the name Mark Thiessen if he were on the center-left competing for that slot?
Thor Benson@thorbenson.bsky.social · 7h agoTrump shared this Marc Thiessen article yesterday lol
if your government software looks like this, it will never break, never need replacement, and will work on every computer since we landed on the moon

This is unironically what it's going to be like if even a single DSA backed candidate makes it into the Dem Primaries for 2028
i believe that framing vote counts as a real time game with swings and momentum is a direct product of how the 2000 election was handled by the media and eventually the supreme court
parker higgins@xor.blue · 2mo agothis is the thing that really bugs me about california's slow vote counting. reporters can't help but describe it in terms of momentum, when it's really scanning across a snapshot
1. the whole "disappointing night" thing is pure cope. El-Sayed beat the establishment candidate despite being outspent 10:1, that's an earthquake 2. primary polls are just not great and everyone needs to spend the next week going really, really hard for Peggy Flanagan

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · yesterdayNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
