Cynical idealist, unreliable narrator. Half kvetching about people, half sports, half music, half pop culture, half politics, etc. not representative of any employer. #NYisBlue. Posting is a form of stimming. I swear a lot.
What a champ. So is this woman for bravely calling for help in a terrifying situation. Hope she is doing okay.

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
There. Are. No. Trans. Women. In. The. WNBA. This whole conversation is a racist trap and long circuitous argument that always comes back to insulting cisgender Black women by calling them not women. In particular it attacks: Brittany Griner, Liz Cambage, and A'Ja Wilson.
I’ve been chagrined about the discourse from and about her… but it’s good to see an establishment Dems actually embracing “vote blue no matter who” (wish she didn’t make so much ammo for the gop the last few weeks though)
VoteHub@votehub.com · 4h agoNEWS — Haley Stevens has endorsed Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan U.S. Senate race against Republican Mike Rogers.
May I point out that both El-Sayed and Stevens are Millennials. Generational shift. It's here. It's time. November up here won't just be about progressivism vs. fascism. It will also be about the future vs. the past.
in more evidence I am a boomer dad, I finished the mincemeat book and ordered a new one on agent garbo.
Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
every theater kid I know is wincing in sympathy

Nicole LaFond@nicolelafond.bsky.social · 19h agoI've not seen this mentioned elsewhere and wanted to surface it — Cornyn and Tillis both signed off on a letter dated July 15 that urged Blanche to use the DOJ’s might to “stop the abortion industry’s unlawful and unsafe mail-order abortion drug practice.” talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...
If they could get rid of it in Europe they would. They tried, with the super league. It’s just too entrenched in culture.
Donjuego@donjuego.bsky.social · 23h agoIf P&R is not good -- why is he investing in European leagues? All of that money could be in American soccer .. but is not. Why not? Why is P&R good there .. not here? I'm actually neutral on the question -- but if he invests in European soccer ....??
"In the World Cup, we all enjoyed knockout games after the group stage. I call those games of consequence or games of jeopardy." If only there were a US domestic knockout competition older than the World Cup itself that MLS could enter all its teams into.

Hey, you know what? I want people to eat. People I don't know and will never meet deserve access to good food. I'd much rather pay for this than give tax breaks to data centers.

extreme income inequality is bad for a lot of reasons but today the one i'm mad at is people having the wealth and power to force me to live inside their delusions
Finally saw The Odyssey, which is the consummate Christopher Nolan film in that it has moments of near-sublime spectacle that make you believe in Big Movies again mixed together with dialogue like, "Our Age of Bronze is ending."
I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Good. That’s literally what my taxes are for you sociopath. The whole fucking point of a social safety net is knowing it’s there if you need it and hoping you never have to use it.

We were watching that silly new Tom Hiddleston reenactment of the disaster of Pompeii and he was like ‘we have amazing new tech that allows us to track people through this disaster’ and I was oh no he’s going to say it’s an AI brain or something and then he said…. ‘Its a spreadsheet’ and I CHEERED
