Seriously, colonoscopies are a breeze and cases are showing up in younger and younger people. Be aware of your family history and get checked out.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 4h agoThe prep isn't as bad as it used to be -- pills, not the drink -- and you'll have one, uh, busy evening and then you go in and get the greatest nap of your life and then eat a glorious meal. Get yourself checked out.
If Stevens had made it to the general election and lost in the fall, the argument would have been that the left cost the Dems the Senate. The left is pretty used to the media narrative always being “the left is at fault.”
Faeelin@faeelin.bsky.social · 7h agoIf sayed loses in the fall then the argument will be the left cost the Dems the senate which would be bad IMO
we just need to do true centrism, I swear it’ll work this time.
Spectrum News NY1@spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social · 2d agoHouse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told NY1’s Errol Louis that Democrats have to “own the center and win over centrist voters” in order to take control of Congress after November’s midterm elections.

Working for Donald Trump is incompatible with having dignity, Case #14,638
i think a lot of well-meaning people fall into a rhetorical trap where they take the bait and argue about male vs. female performance in sports rather than arguing for the value and dignity of women’s athletics generally. don’t let yourself be dragged into a bad faith framing.
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 2d agothe best HS teams in the country have multiple guys who will be in the NBA in a couple of years. they aren't normal high schools, they're basketball factories. but this literally doesn't matter. the value of women's sports isn't contingent on their performance vis a vis men.
Guess what was right below this in my feed?

I'm seeing a lot of SUPERHERO MOVIES ARE BACK posts in the wake of #BrandNewDay's success. Spider-Man movies were breaking box office records well before the MCU existed. They are a cinema phenomenon onto themselves, because Spider-Man is a singularly resonant and relatable character.
This is excellent, especially this: "Physical and mental abuse and boundary crossing, especially in men, are tolerated as artistic passion and creative exploration." Stop celebrating abusive behavior. There are plenty of directors who don't do this who are more talented than the assholes who do.

It does give me some comfort that these people are in charge of everything and they're still completely miserable

a lot of what the right does nowadays is create an emotional support system for bigots. bigotry will offend and alienate people in your life, so the right looks provides a counterweight that lavishes you with praise.
Charlie Kaufman is reportedly adapting Susan Orlean’s critique of Emily Wilson’s critique of Christopher Nolan

I use ad blockers on my phone, desktop, and laptop but I don’t really have a good one on my iPad because I rarely use it for web browsing. Today I grabbed it and…hey the internet is virtually unusable! YouTube is total dog shit! Do people really use the web like this?
Whenever Paul Rudd is in the Cinematrix I have to take a beat to remind myself that he’s not in Mac & Me.
People who think Emily Wilson is being mean have clearly never presented a paper at an academic conference
A letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after he was murdered by ICE.
For his next film I would like to encourage Christopher Nolan to do a dramatic recreation of the making of CLUE.
Ignacio Gallup-Diaz@igallupd.bsky.social · 2w ago“A Penn professor thought she’d sell 1000 copies of her ‘Odyssey’ translation. She sold a million this year alone, thanks to Christopher Nolan.” “West Philly's Emily Wilson, who penned a highly acclaimed translation of the epic poem in 2017, is having a big summer.”
