My prediction is that Marvin Harrison Jr starts clicking and the Cardinals go on a Cinderella story attempt at the playoffs that ends with a Week 18 doink field goal attempt that eliminates them from postseason play

Today’s the day I’ve waited so long for (first Seahawks game)
There are a surprising number of NFL wide receivers with hyphenated names. Jaxon Smith-Njigba Marquez Valdez-Scantling JuJu Smith-Schuster Amon-Ra St Brown I can only think of one non-WR with a hyphenated name and that's Maurice Jones-Drew
I find Buddhism hopeful in the way that I always wanted Christianity to be when I was practicing it intensely
Part of the fun of the 2013-14 seahawks was that 49ers-era Jim Harbaugh was such a good villain.
I'm coming more and more to the conclusion that the best thing you can do to help your DSA chapter is to cultivate love and compassion within yourself
DSA Buddhist caucus, which immediately splits into rival factions over the issue of Dorje Shugden veneration
Pro-housing socialists like Willie and Zohran are the future for both the YIMBY movemenf and Left! Super excited to see this
Alex P 🌹@perniexanders.bsky.social · 12mo agoHuge congratulations to @willieburnleyjr.bsky.social for winning the mayoral endorsement from @somervilleyimby.org !! It means a lot that housing justice groups recognize that he's the best candidate. Now let's get him in office! somervilleyimby.org/elections/20...

At age 26, I’ve finally fulfilled a lifelong dream I have an actual official jersey for a current Seahawks player SPOON

At the DSA National Convention, I’ve been struck by the need for a new kind of politics in DSA. So we’re starting a new caucus. Provisionally called “Your Caucus”—directly elected, member driven, and for the first time, explicitly socialist. Join us: yourcaucus.us
I think if there’s another 1m1v resolution proposed for 2027 (which I hope there will be) that the resolution would include restrictions on campaign spending in some form
If you look on the far left you can see me running to be in the picture because I was late
Socialist Majority Caucus@socialistmajority.com · last yr.Another convention in the books! Thank you to all our delegates, alternates, volunteers, and supporters for their hard work and organizing this past weekend. Congratulations to our new NPC members, Christian, Clayton, Jeremy, and Katie!
Now that convention's over I can admit that every single restaurant I went to in Chicago was mid to bad
the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back
As we head into three days of deliberation that will shape the next two years of DSA, NPC candidate Leslie C articulates how we can seize the moment and fight ICE through coalition building, civil disobedience, and contesting for state power. www.socialistmajority.com/theagitator/...

In theory we would be seeing more DSA activity showing up here, since we passed a resolution at convention urging members to get off Twitter. But I doubt that's going to happen.
"What electorate would put their trust in a political cause that says it doesn’t care about what comes next? How could this Left inspire any faith in progress, if it’s all the same to them whether the manatees take over and the maternity wards empty out?" jacobin.com/2025/06/futu...
The Fatal Flaws of the Futureless Left
The rise of doomers, preppers, and antinatalists on the Left reveals something deeper than the hollow posture of rebellion: a collapse of belief in tomorrow. A Left that chants “No future” isn’t just ...

This is the bind that every sports league has been in for the past decade - it's better for players *and* fans if rough play is penalized, but both groups will loudly and incessantly complain if they start enforcing tougher rules
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last yr.WNBA players have suffered 141 injuries since opening day in May, according to kinesiologist Dr. Lucas Seehafer. This is not a woman’s league problem. It’s an officiating problem. When refs allow unusually rough play it doesn’t just cause direct injuries but indirect ones.
Privatised water really is one of those things that I'm sorry not sorry, but the most vulgar folk socialist analysis really holds on: how can you possibly justify letting the market handle a resource that can only be provided in one area by one provider, and that everyone needs
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · last yr.How do you ensure a nation fails to cope with drought? Privatise its water system. Almost everyone wants our water renationalised. Almost everyone, that is, except the government. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Mike Huckabee spoke out against the Israeli settler killing of a 20-year-old American before Chuck Schumer did
Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social · last yr.US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee calls settler killing of American Saif Musallet a "criminal and terrorist act." Asked Israel to "aggressively investigate." Note: Not just settlers, Israeli forces also blocked ambulances from Saif. Trump had removed sanctions on settlers.
