sadistic crap legitimized by florid prose.
It is so far beyond infuriating and depressing that a moment in history that could and should have brought literally everyone closer together just pushed (and continues to push) everyone further apart.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
everyone who begged for the Brewers to make a deal needs to eat shit.

Hell Gate *subscribe today!*@hellgatenyc.com · 3d agoThis past weekend, former Mayor Eric Adams was in Wisconsin Rapids—population 18,654—trying to convince residents that they should allow a real estate developer to build a data center in the heart of their town. The public hearing did not go well. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-i...
bluesky is nothing but a bunch of writers who scream A SALARY CAP IS NOT THE SOLUTION while living and rooting for teams in big markets.
Something I like about @elazic.bsky.social's careful read here is that it points out a fatal flaw with a lot of pieces of writing that pass for "reviews" (even from critics!) because they talk about a movie: saying "this is bad!" as if it's self-evident, rather than arguing for *why* it is bad.
Elena Lazic@elazic.bsky.social · last wk.Emily Wilson's piece on Christopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY for the LRB went viral and was received very positively by many — but not by virtually every film critic I know. For @animusmagazine.bsky.social I wrote about why: animus-magazine.ghost.io/a-tale-as-ol...
if i'm gonna stay up until midnight it better be for a win.
I played with Randy for a year in college and he absolutely fucking RAKED. He was also an incredible teammate. Awesome to see he’s still got it.

Brandy Zadrozny@brandyzadrozny.bsky.social · 2w agoGet in, there’s a new secret political influence campaign paying people to post. This time, a network targeting people in Michigan. First paid to post about how hard it is to afford groceries and gas, the accounts have gone hard in recent days, supporting Haley Stevens. www.ms.now/news/haley-s...
HENN >>> 😭😭😭😭 How did Shawn Marion not make the list???
By far the funniest moment in Homer’s Odyssey is when Circe says, “Shall we have sex?” and Odysseus says, “You just turned all my men into pigs. You have the GALL to think I would sleep with you? Of course I will. Absolutely. But don’t do any weird spells”
I think the original post got deleted so I cropped out the name, but I've thought about this one for a while lol
Bluesky: Erm, actually, authentic Mexican food is superior to Taco Bell. Twitter: gorditas are a woke psyop to desensitize you to 15-minute cities Threads: I love the Live Más lifestyle! Nextdoor: stay safe! spotted a teenager drinking a mysterious blue liquid (meth?)

MLB is like the Democratic Party in that they’re deeply concerned about popularity and all their actions seem to be aimed at capturing some mythical person who has never become a baseball fan and will probably never become a baseball fan meanwhile baseball fans are yelling PLEASE JUST PLAY BASEBALL

Check this shit out motherfucker [I slide one foot out from under me and fall on my ass, its not clear what kind of move I was trying to do]
anything can be a children's novel if you give it to them at a young enough age. i'm glad my dad and grandpa were giving me clive cussler and jack higgins adventure novels when i was still 12 or 13 years old.
Lincoln Michel@thelincoln.bsky.social · 3w agoTo be clear, I just thought this was funny. I won't extrapolate from dumb tweets to "society is collapsing!" But for the curious it started with some tech bro saying he was reading The Hobbit to his kids, who liked it, and it inspired a lot of comments like this:
It's such a big horse, the biggest horse anyone has ever seen, many people are saying it's the best horse of all, other presidents tried to get such a big horse but they never managed it, who knows why? But we got such a big horse and we're bringing it inside and it's going to be so nice
