Wild part is they still don’t want to defund the police, while many are totally onboard with the abolition of ICE.
J.P.@johnathanperk.bsky.social · last wk.When the Black Lives Matter Movement called to “defund the police,” white people from all political walks of life told us we were extremists and fear-mongering. Now, the pervasiveness of cameraphones allow the public to see police and I.C.E. tactics. Black Lives Matter was right about everything.
When the discussion moved from the history of Futurism to a breakdown of the first TDKR page, I knew we never left. Everyone should listen to The Black Casebook
The Black Casebook@blackcasebook.bsky.social · 3w agoNEW EPISODE! The Black Casebook returns with a suitably epic analysis of perhaps the single most influential story in Batman's history. Frank Miller and his collaborators called down the lightning to make this book; four decades later, we're still interpreting the thunder. pod.link/1618791941/e...
Someone get these BEGGARS out of here

baseball doesn’t need a salary cap. you can’t use money to brute force your way to a World Series win, and more teams have won a World Series this century than a Super Bowl or NBA championship. a cap only helps owners—and sports owners are the worst people this side of car dealership owners.
favorite books at eye level, descending level of interest as it gets away from that shelf. comics are another story those i do by publisher and/or author or sometimes character
Immigrant Punk@porcupunk.eurosky.social · 3w agoEnough of the horrors and doom scrolling. Let's talk about something fun. How do you arrange your books?
So whenever I encounter this kind of "mass audiences are idiots" thing, even in such a frivolous context, it really bothers me. It's indicative of something sick in our social being. And I think its something of a self fulfilling prophecy, it trains people not to think, try, or demand better.
you know what's a better more artistically enchanting version of homer's odyssey than chris nolan's? elden ring
i respect the haterism bc i also didn't like it much but this is very much not meeting the movie on its own terms. i don't think it much works on its own terms and there are bits where she gets at why, but this is a lot of preconsidered issues with nolan and (earned) pretension over a text she loves
London Review of Books@lrb.co.uk · 3w ago‘Nolan has read at least the first line of my translation of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘥𝘺𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘺 into iambic pentameter. In one interview, he cited my version of it: “Tell me about a complicated man.” But I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script.’ New, by Emily Wilson www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
sometimes a piece comes along that feels like someone was reading my mind. this is great
Eteo Games@eteogames.bsky.social · 4w agoThe car and the radio are inextricably linked in GTA V. Yet beyond this, the game also speaks to the messy realities of modern-day infrastructure in the US. 🔗 https://www.eteogames.com/grand-theft-auto-v-and-the-pursuit-of-the-perfect-playlist/

a wildly pathetically defended goal for a world cup semifinal but i guess that's how the sport is played now
CJ Fogler@cjzero.bsky.social · last mo.and we are level!
I don't really have a problem with either Embolo yellow but by the same standard Argentina should have had between six to fourteen yellows in the first half and they had zero
oh and fuck graham platner i hope he drops out of the race and into the ground
if i'm any kind of honest this gives me the push to watch actual club football after the wc
i spent a few hours naively and stupidly indulging in some jingoistic belief that we could be competent at soccer and got the comeuppance that indulgence deserves
ive been more of a france fan since i got to see mbappe play in paris in 2018 but the us playing good soccer for 4 games got me to invest again and i really should've known better
The worst part of this entire stupid escapade is that Americans can no longer shitpost about our ahistorically good team—literally the one fuckin thing we’ve got going for us right now—in peace
"this whole thing smacks of CONCACAF," I holler as I overturn my uncle's barbecue grill and turn the World Cup into the Cup of Shit
Just saw a City fan calling fifa crooked for letting Balogun play against Belgium despite his red card
