50 years old, 6-5 wingspan, you do the math. Inside me there are two dogs, one big and one small. I call that shit Biggie Smalls.
Going to see this with my brother this weekend. I was very excited to see this based on the poster and am still mildly excited over the idea that it is the worst thing ever.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5h agoTrump and Ronny Jackson have a chuckle about the botched execution in Tennessee: "The medication didn't exactly work. He [Jackson] would answer it better than anybody. How does that happen? It shouldn't be very difficult."
My theory is that the world dies everytime I close my eyes and then is resurrected like Ra's al Ghul when I open them again.

Would be great if someone would explain to our Prime Minister what renewable energy is and how much cheaper and cleaner it is than this bullshit.
CPAC TV@cpac.ca · 10h ago“Today, we’re ready to move forward for Albertans, for Canadians,” says PM Mark Carney in Fort McMurray, Alta., as he announces his government is officially listing the West Coast oil pipeline as a project of national interest. #cdnpoli
Carney begins his announcement of a new oil pipeline by acknowledging the climate-linked wildfire that came close to levelling the town where he's announcing the new oil pipeline. A flat circle.
Great deal for the Raps. Have to imagine that there is a player option on the 3rd year for Shead's sake but I am quite happy for both him on his new contract and for me because I have Jamal Shead on my team for the next couple of years.
Shams Charania Tweets@shamsbot.bsky.social · 11h agoToronto Raptors guard Jamal Shead has agreed to a three-year, $24 million contract extension with the franchise, his agent KJ Smith tells ESPN. The new deal keeps Shead under contract through the 2029-30 season.
More than 38,000 residential school survivors testified to the abuse they experienced as children. Next September, Canada plans to destroy their records.
Canada plans to destroy thousands of residential school testimonies. These women are trying to save them
The 38,000 testimonies are the largest body of evidence about children’s experiences in these institutions. Journalist Connie Walker and lawyer Kimberly Murray say losing it would mean losing history — both painful and illuminating

It seems like it happened a lifetime ago but we are only 6 years on from Lebron finishing a 10 year stretch in which he averaged 90 games a year and made the Finals 9 times with three different teams.
Got two little frames for the Captain America and Iron Man drawings that I picked up this year and I have to say that they really tie my Nerdhalla table together.
Yeah it's antisemitism. I think that it is telling that this person took issue with Mamdani pushing the good parts of Judaism while saying nothing about Mamdani's love of bagels, which have gluten and too much salt. My wife is gluten-free and I have high blood pressure, so I take this personally.
Hunter Dunn@hunterisntdunn.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is antisemitism. This isn’t leftism. This isn’t anti-Zionism. This isn’t progressive activism. This is just blatant antisemitism.

It's crazy to have witnessed, in real time, over the span of about 10 years, Knowing Ball fully shifting from right wing-coded to left wing-coded.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 2d agoA phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED
If Bruce Wayne was serious about cleaning up crime in Gotham City instead of dressing up as a Bat, he should spend his billions on buying DC comics and making them publish comics with less crime in them.
This is too complex an issue for me to think about at the moment but I will type that I like this result.
Luke LeBrun@lukelebrun.ca · 2d ago[The judge] “said in court on Tuesday that the pair ‘selflessly’ put themselves to the side for the cause. ‘Mr. Kalicum and Ms. Nyx have borne the burden of bringing a successful constitutional challenge, thereby doing the public interest a service at considerable personal cost’
Buried lede: among those speaking out against this is Gregory Baylor, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, a major conservative Christian legal group: “The government shouldn’t punish people who pursue socially valuable callings just because in its judgment they don’t earn enough money.”
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 4d agoTrump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1

Looked three years into the future and saw this one post but I am not sure of the context. It read: The Saudis did it.

Very anxious about posting this, but I feel strongly compelled to share. I know it’s a lot to take in for a Saturday morning and I appreciate anyone for taking the time to read it.

Raptorized Ira@raptorizedira.bsky.social · last wk.I stopped going to shul for high holidays several years ago but before that I remember a solid 30 years of having police and/or a heavy security presence at the entrance every time I went. Am still shocked that somebody was deranged enough to try this.
Very, very pleased to have someone running for Senate in Maine who is clearly good on this issue and has no personal baggage or malcontent. It gives me pause that there are people who therefore think dropping Platner was primarily about this issue, especially given Abdul's parallel unimpeded ascent.
