Am I aghast that game 6 is being played at 12:30pm eastern on Thursday? Yes. Have decades of being a world cup soccer fan prepared me for this moment?* Also yes. Here is your official permission slip from @flavorflav.bsky.social *Because I will, and have, woken up at 3am for a match

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

Love that there are so many mainstream headlines about this 🙄

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Listen, I'm a liberty girl... But, "The Valkyries" is the best name ever for a sports team. Because when I hear "she's got Valkyries all around her!" that shit is ominous

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

your rabbit may NOT vote. YOU, however, should go vote now! vote.nyc

AOC LFG: "The moment you compromise the rights of a trans person in America you compromise the rights of every citizen in America"

More Perfect University@mpuniversity.bsky.social · 6d ago

Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

I need to take a train from nyc to boston in a few weeks, and it's THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS. We are such a deeply unserious country.

Joined @stephruhle.bsky.social on MSNOW to talk about the AI bubble, its differences to the Dot-Com Bubble, and how if AI "doesn't work out" it's everyone's problem, with retail investors making up 20% of the market's volume and having over $4.65tn in direct exposure to AI stocks.

Confiscate all his assets. Break up and/destroy all his companies. Take away literally all his money. Ban him from all industry and investment and employment. Let him live in whatever public housing he can find off of whatever public assistance is available.

BREAKING WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.

Oh, Canada

Wild to watch so much of the rest of the country being stripped down and sold off to the worst possible people while Mamdani shows that government can be a force for good and actually build things for the people and do it with joy. It's a real feeling of whiplash.

Stick up for trans people and immigrants every time, all the time.

Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.

Today is officially NYC's last gasp of summer

"Since Trump returned to office, federal agents have shot at more than 21 people as part of the administration’s immigration crackdown, killing six of them." Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump. Fuck all of this nonsense and get the fuck out of my city.

BREAKING: A federal immigration agent shot a man in the Bronx on Thursday afternoon, the latest of nearly two dozen such shootings in the past two years. A statement by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani indicated that the man had a five-year-old child in his car.

This is the WNBA story that should be the main story on that website today, and I am happy to see the Liberty taking accountability for all the ways they fucked the game up. Also, reminder that zebras are cops and cops lie www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Liberty, refs at odds postgame over reset timeout in Game 2

Breanna Stewart said officials told her the Liberty did not have a reset timeout to use at the end of overtime in Wednesday's loss at Atlanta. Crew chief Fatou Cissoko-Stephens disputed this in a pool report, saying the remaining timeout was communicated.

Often I find myself telling folks unfamiliar w/the WNBA that it's like if The Barbie Movie were real life. Because the players and staff are so talented, smart, beautiful and inspiring. I'm such a proud fan of this sport. Let's go Liberty!! Drinks on the house if Stewie gets 50 points tonight 🏀

It's pretty damn impressive how much ground Mayor Mamdani has been able to cover after only nine months in office on a wide range of basic quality-of-life issues in NYC. I was reading through the numbers this morning, and they're kinda astonishing. (thread)
