The core of the Republican project over the last few decades is to find any Allowed Bigotry they can, and use that to wedge to the door open to allow All Bigotry
onion person@junlper.beer · 2d agotrying to get people to understand that the trans women in sports debate isn’t really about sports but a meta narrative pushed by the right all about slowly getting all trans people out of public life is truly impossible
Who called it Kirkmas when Donekirk was right there
Win Projections calcultaor is now live! gestalt.toplines.app#wins Please read the methodology (evanz.github.io/nba-lineup-m...) before you berate the model (which is still evolving). And have fun changing the ratings and minutes projections to build your own. Enjoy!
This German comedy sketch (with English subtitles) perfectly captures so much of what is going on right now in the UK, the US, and across Europe. "Playing the 'Nazi Card' in the Third Reich", by Browser Ballett.

Trans athletes have the right to play in sports without concessions. Thats it. Thats the answer. "But it isn't fair that-" Shut up. All athletes have different bodies that help or hinder them in sports. Michael Phelps is a legitimate genetic freak & nobody had an issue.
First time back for weekly hoops through the park district and @rickyodonn.bsky.social and I teamed up, went 5-0 and each had a 3 point game winner. We’re so back.
I am not joking when I say this is one of the few movies in recent memory that addresses exploitation of the working class in an immediate and visceral way. This is the problem of our times. OpenAcme. Acmethropic. Making their living off the pain of 'the resilient.'
Also, my major preoccupation these days is my unbridled rage at tech overlords who create their products by putting an underclass into the thresher of 'progress.' The coyote is driven by purpose, and his passion is exploited by egoists. The roadrunner is his art.
I’m so sick of this shit man, “it’s gonna happen so stop complaining!” how about fuck you? Jeffries is a genocidal monster, he just appointed Moskowitz! Dems can and should be pressured to retract their support.
Timothy McBride@mcbridetd.bsky.social · 4d agoAlso there is likely zero chance Jeffries won't be elected Speaker if the Dems win in 2026. Also on nearly every vote cast Jeffries has held the Democratic caucus together. And of course it's math..if the Dems don't have 218 votes it's nearly impossible to stop anything.
finished it on the subway into the office this morning. banger, salute @katpburke.bsky.social. gonna have to go pick up and read her debut, Still Life.

How many times do we have to go through this? Yes, you'd pay higher taxes, but your money would go further. Imagine an economy that was bolstered by people who are no longer hamstrung by insurance premiums, insane rent, or student loan debt.
Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 5d ago*whispers* Any major social welfare program or any effort to reduce the deficit will require raising taxes on the middle class. Not just the rich
got into a huge argument with Kalie about the merits of toast versus bagels. I am Team Toast, she is Team Bagel. Fuckin chewy ass vehicle for spreads. Give me toast all day, every day.
they're saying Liz Holmes is the first human to ever fall into the uncanny valley
Jimmy Butlerian Jihad@nbacouchside.bsky.social · 6d agoI don't know what she is, demon or otherwise, but that's not a human being.
we tried to coexist with these guys, we let them have like 90% of everything. then they decided that not only wasn't that enough but also they would like to kill you for fun
i suggest we actively get on with the very hard work of Fucking Changing Everything. literally nothing left to lose except everything anyone has left

Rotten Tomatoes@rottentomatoes.com · 6d agoWatch the first teaser trailer for 'You Can See Everything,' from directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. The documentary follows Elizabeth Holmes in the thirty-four days before she's sent to prison, as she invites a skeptical film crew to capture her every move. In theaters this October.
everytime I reference his WKUK work I hope people understand I’m not being ironic. It was the perfect blend of high and low brow and it’s not much of a surprise to me that decades later I still enjoy his directing and voice
There’s a lot of NBA fans who may struggle to afford basic needs, let alone tickets. From the aspiration stuff to an agent saying “athletes have the toughest job in the world,” and now the game’s biggest star stanning for polymarket — it’s been a very tone deaf offseason.
Had the world’s most pointless pan awakening recently, 5+ years after being monogamously married to my wife. Ratio of attraction to women versus men is like 8:1, but still.
It's Bandcamp Friday, go guy some music! Also, if you've noticed that some of their albums are encoded in 24-bit 96K FLAC i.e. with detail your ears cannot hear at triple the file size, this script I found on Stack Overflow will nearly instantly convert to a more sensible 16/48 with no loss:

He’s had 2 associates caught purchasing PEDs in Miami but blamed one on his overweight assistant and one on HIS WIFE!
