I said this was dumb when it happened. A guy tried to defend it saying there's a class of birds known as raptors. I told him they have a dinosaur dribbling a basketball on their jerseys. He said, "Yeah, that's dumb."

This might be the closest we've gotten to when Toronto called themselves the Raptors right after Jurassic Park came out

About a week ago, there was a Bob Seger kerfuffle on here. For everyone who claimed he sucked, here's a classically trained opera singer analyzing "Night Moves". youtu.be/YOUkSUoVlh8?...

Ten years ago Republicans were screaming to make stolen valor illegal. 🙄

I think he's partially right. People will gravitate towards cheaper products, but planned obsolescence, private equity pushing to the extremes, and the MBA religious belief "the line must always go up" forces short-term decisions that also kill businesses.

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

The only thing protecting us from the malevolence of the Trump regime is the incompetence of the Trump regime.

There is a live feed camera on the Reflecting Pool. I assume there are other security cameras that aren't online for the public. Why aren't Dems demanding they release the footage so the public can help bring these "Vandals" to justice?

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 5d ago

The way this idiot capitalizes “Vandals” makes it look as if he’s alleging the Reflecting Pool was damaged by the same people who sacked Rome in 455

@francescahongwi.bsky.social @katmabu.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social Democrats need to switch from "defund" to "demilitarize police". This is the messaging people want. They want peace officers, not armoured stormtroopers. Demilitarize the gear, training, and tactics.

CNN's Dana Bash talks to Francesca Hong, a state assemblywoman and democratic socialist leading polls in the Wisconsin Democratic Governor primary. Bash asks Hong about past social media posts endorsing defunding and abolishing the police.

I've been thinking about The Invite a lot. Brilliantly written and acted. Dozens of genius, layered, relationship moments. It's the kind of adult drama we don't get in theaters anymore. Everyone should go see it. Then get online and bitch about the rack focussing, so filmmakers will stop using it.

The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare. Reposted again... Don't buy Tesla cars etc etc

So you’re saying the current president is responsible for a government that produced a vaccine that killed millions? We should probably arrest that murdering asshole, then.

Republican senators got to do their performative yelling at Fauci for the cameras. The cult got to get all worked up into a lather. The Republican senators will now send out fundraising emails on it. The rubes will throw them some cash. Next.

I know ONE thing - WE WOULD NOT BE IN A WAR WITH IRAN if Harris was our president.

The Invite was excellent. The writing, acting, set design, and lighting are outstanding. It was both funnier and more poignant than expected. BUT... 1/

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

#SDCC comic con: our daughter left her 3D printed black dragon in the restroom near E/Starbucks. She printed it herself and is devastated. We checked the restroom and lost and found which means someone picked it up. If you bring it to 5552 I will give you a signed comic as reward

#SDCC friends - the first 100 attendees to the Devils & Dreamscapes panel will receive an exclusive The Agony of Stars poster! Join us Friday, 7.24 from 5:00 to 6:00 PM in Room 9. Meanwhile, come see me at the Red 5 booth 1808 all week! @indiecomicszone.bsky.social @promotehorror.bsky.social

Everyone is debating making McConnell prove he's alive. But can't he be replaced just for not showing up? Every other job requires actually working or at least calling in. Wouldn't he be replaced if he just decided to sit at home? Can Senators just refuse to participate?

“LeVar Burton, Mychal Threets, and Obama Walk Into a Library” This sounds like a setup to a book joke 😂 What’s the punchline? 📚 @bookriot.bsky.social

Here's something I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits.

Say what you will about Disney but long before Male Influencers were ever part of the public imagination they warned us about what a danger insecure aura farmers are to the community.

This is the crux of MAGA. They don't want to be inconvenienced by diverse people existing. Whether it's Ben upset over a trans actor; Vance not wanting to hear foreign languages; or Hegseth obsessed with "traditional Christian values" they are all too fragile to deal with anything slightly unusual.

Bobby Kirk@stlkirk.bsky.social · 3w ago

But it's also very revealing. Page just being in the movie bothers Shapiro. The movie nor the character are about trans issues. They're not, "shoving it in anyone's face." Page just existing is "a pebble in (Shapiro's) shoe." Anyone different being in the world just bothers Ben.

This is the stupidest take.

The Politico article itself notes that there is ZERO actual evidence for the DHS claims. The Politico headline is inexcusable. Never forget that Politico is owned by Alex Springer. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
