i really have no patience whatsoever for people who are scared of muslims having elected office

Polymarket has millions of dollars in wildfire-related bets & more than $1M in beds were placed on the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires! DESPICABLE! THE PREDICTION MARKET PROMOTES THE OBSTRUCTION FIREFIGHTERS OR FOLKS TO GO OUT AND COMMIT ARSON! It's absolutely nuts!

There is no way that betting on wildfires should be legal. www.oregonlive.com/wildfires/20...

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

just incredible

"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.

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.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Still wild to me we’re literally fighting a war entirely outside of trading hours

i feel bad for the troops but this is tremendous content

i made this meme for a reason

Reconstructionist@unavaleable.bsky.social · 2d ago

there is a reason why DOUBLE VICTORY has a consistent subplot of how much Dugout Doug sucks, and how he will continue to ruin things for its entire run time (well until he croaks)

I swear to god the opening episode of this season has our glorious operators charging in the open in broad daylight attack entrenched North Koreans in Ukraine

Scottish actor #BrianCox, best known for playing Logan Roy in HBO’s Succession, isn’t afraid to speak his mind. In an interview with TRT World’s Ghida Fakhry, Cox explained why he refuses to stay quiet despite concerns about Hollywood backlash......” #AllHeroesDontWearCapes 🇵🇸

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

We welcome any and all MacArthur slander

Zach Dorfman@zachsdorfman.bsky.social · 2d ago

Continuing my Korean War/Halberstam posting: It’s hard to convey how malignant Douglas MacArthur was, how anti-democratic, what a persistent threat to civil-military relations. Conversely, George Marshall was a man of towering integrity and wisdom.

Trump tells his cultists in every speech, “we are respected all over the world like never before.” And most of them believe him. It should come as no surprise that the 10 states with the fewest number of people with passports per capita are all red states.

If an El-Sayed victory leads to the Pistons winning a championship again, he’ll be senator for life. If an El-Sayed victory leads to the Lions winning the Super Bowl, he’s going to be the goddamn president.
