Every athlete's politics will disappoint somebody but that doesn't mean athletes have to speedrun the process.
Jake_Vig@jakevig.bsky.social · 2d agoAfter a middling WNBA career, blonde haired, blue eyed Sophie Cunningham has positioned herself for post-basketball success and riches as a conservative mouthpiece. This is the pattern that always works because conservatives are very very dumb and will latch onto anyone who promotes hate.
I honestly believe these men will bring back duelling and I'm sure for a moment it will be hilarious.
Dag.@3fecta.bsky.social · 3d agoMax Miller now insinuating that Bernie Moreno only is going after him now to deflect from the gay rumors. Everything is just peachy.
One day I hope to realize my dream of opening a Spanglish farm supply store called ¡Hay Hay!
I wish the whole thing had turned out different too! but I had enough goin on back then that mocking the behavior of the dudes at Lowe's and Walmart who were clearly looking to fight about it was a heavier lift than I had in me mid-pandemic.
Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · last wk.We really should have gone to greater lengths to be loudly disgusted by anyone who acted like getting a shot or wearing a mask to prevent the spread of a pandemic virus was worse than being conscripted into the First World War
Always delighted to get the most disgusting thing I'll read all day out of the way before I'm done with my coffee.
Aaron van Dorn@aaronvandorn.bsky.social · last wk.I think that we need to come to terms with the fact that the Epstein stuff didn't matter at all to Trump's popularity, but it did foster further conspiracism and provided a stalking horse for the exploding antisemitism on the left. The juice was not worth the squeeze.
"How long will she be living at home?" is a very young parent's "most pressing question" about a nine year old.
"Literally rather do anything than enact gun control" remains the only meaningfully exceptional thing about Americans.
Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · last wk.Schools are adding pepper-spraying drones to help combat active shooters The plastic, non-lethal aircraft, which can smash windows and ram attackers will be at the ready at certain schools in Colorado, Florida and Georgia www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Jon Passantino@passantino.bsky.social · last wk.Bari Weiss & Nick Bilton are busy trying to recruit talent for their revamped "60 Minutes," conducting dozens of screen tests. And CBS News leaders "have also expressed a desire to air hidden camera-style investigative pieces" on the show. The scoop in @status.news www.status.news/p/60-minutes...
Neither of these is my favorite movie from my 18th birthday year year but I liked them both and the actor's journey between the two is... dramatic.
Micah@rincewind.run · last wk.Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie from the year you turned 18
why are you hitting yourself ass logic everyone is 12 remains undefeated
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoHoman on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."
The odyssey accents thing is hilarious and predictable. There is such a desperate desire on the part of whatever countries considering themselves the vanguard of what passes for western civilization to see themselves as straight-line heirs to Greece in a march of inevitable progress towards...
I can't think of a better way to turn the division in this country to a hot war than asking maga parents to watch as their 18 year olds are forced to work for the common good.
Daniel Drezner@dandrezner.bsky.social · 3w agoKlein asks Allen what liberals should prioritize if they win the trifecta in 2028. Allen suggests the following: 1) Putting an end to Citizens United; 2) Creation of national service; 3) Ending gerrymandering

Al Jazeera English@aljazeera.com · 3w agoThe recall is the latest development in a series of reports of autonomous vehicles impeding emergency response efforts.
With England's centuries-old tradition of causing misery in the global south I really thought that would go differently.
I love my dad so much. He's my mom's sole caretaker at 84 as she is increasingly altered by dementia, and, with her safely out weeding, he's scrubbing winter off his summertime coffee table. I'd probably be in a hole crying if I had to carry 1/10th what he does. He's still so so in love with her.
I don't know a thing about soccer cover but England's coach reminds my of an extremely irritating former coworker and i had the best salad of my life in Buenos Aires so that's how i chose today.
Look I don't disagree. I lament that - even though we waited until the children were 15, 14 and 13 to allow them to have phones- we probably could have held out longer. But "got?" They "got" smartphones? No. A grownup in their life gave them phones. If they went out and "got" them they're grown.
Salt Books@saltpublishing.com · 3w ago'As far as I can see, my children's childhood ended the moment they got smartphones' Best selling English novelist Louis de Bernières is unimpressed with many aspects of modern life.
Senator Graham will be reunited in death with his dignity and shame, which were struck down by sudden illnesses years and years ago.
I have never seen this many people struggle to come to terms with backing the wrong horse & I worked at an OTB on Staten Island from freshman year to graduation from college.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 4w agoI’ve avoided a lot of the Platner discourse because it’s a toxic tarpit, but I think the notion that the lesson here is primarily about either one political faction or something essential about “unvetted” newcomers, sits in some considerable tension with the entire Eric Swalwell experience.
it might be the exception that proves the rule but whatever your reaction to it, starting with the first ministry album will feel like a trick once you've listened to the other ministry albums. (prolly this is how people do it now; i used to have to ask intimidatingly cool record store clerks.)
Carles Gil Superfan@damperino.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe Severance subreddit might be the most illiterate group of people I've ever witnessed. Also, music subreddits are full of "Getting into X band, where should I start?" Start from the beginning and see if you like it? Just fuckin watch and listen and draw your own conclusions. It's so strange.
I had an in depth conversation with my good friend Senator McConnell yesterday, touching on topics from senatorial history to Ukraine to Iran and this is the last time I'm gonna smoke salvia.
This is like trying to go shopping with Confederate money. It sucks that the votes and money and work are worthless now, but blame that on oyster boy. He's the one with Maine's largest collection of red flags. The Democratic Party is trying to salvage a race your man is not morally fit to run.
