This is my blood I marvel at the design of our weapons. So sophisticated that they can transform any man woman or child into a terrorist. Writing in their flight between launch and concussion an entire alternate history of a life. Just as the cop’s bullet convicts you of a crime. Its presence in your body evidence enough that it always belonged there. A violent transubstantiation.

This is my blood

Ranking the 117 Best NBA Names of the Quarter Century What’s in a name? Everything. Featuring Dwayne Bacon, Stromile Swift, and so many more, these are the NBA player handles that stand the test of time.

It’s NBA Quarter-Century Week at The Ringer. I wrote about names.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

I like that they returned the core theme of Superman not actually being that confident that he's human-passing. It's part of the real charm of his character that he's most pleased when someone mistakes him for Just a Guy Bein' a Dude.

Did you just Cliff's Notes your own account?

"My mom."

Every televised gingerbread competition is five youngish ladies with small home bakeries and one dark crone from the old country who doesn't say a word until she thanks the judges for first prize.

This is egregious on every level, but their lack of training really comes through when three officers attempt to throw a man in three separate directions while taking him down, upping the odds of everyone involved becoming injured.

I've seen drunken parking lot fights with more discipline.

This clap-back is 🔥

“You think my self-worth is determined by your opinion of me when in reality I know for a fact that I was better than you the day I was born.”

"Your grandparents were born on third base, mine were born in the parking lot but still managed to score before you.” Holy shit!

The absolutely horrific reports of inhumane and degrading treatment that the courageous people abducted from the Sumud Flotilla have been subjected to should jolt the Prime Minister Albanese and Minister Wong into action.

a reminder for Chicago folks that picking up or throwing back a tear gas canister will badly burn you unless you're wearing welding gloves which can be purchased for very reasonable prices at Menards

I don’t think we can ever forgive the people who turned every sphere of human expression, art, news, analysis, literature, communication into content whose value is only that it can be counted and tracked

We are a 32 Chunk household, and I won't hear a single bad word about our gloriously chubby king of salmon murder.

Hundreds of students from lowa's largest school district marched out of their classrooms on Tuesday, Sept. 30, in protest of Superintendent lan Roberts' arrest by U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement last week. Students marched to the lowa Capitol

Holy shit. Something good is actually happening!

My new favourite hobby is to give a little updoot whenever I see someone who's posted what's probably their favourite banger from 1973. There's a lot of vulnerability attached to sharing music, and giving your one-track mix tape to the internet is a bold move.

I got you, unc.

Imagine you're a career military general being summoned for a pentagon strategy lecture by a former game show host and a former weekend talk show host.

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

I feel like his day was very low on futebol and very high on nonsense.

The upside of the War of Portlandia is that everyone’s posting such charming pictures of downtown that it’s now made it on my list of places to visit should I ever step foot in the States again.

Maybe someone who opted out of serving in a war shouldn’t throw that term around so lightly.

I didn’t think I’d get my reparenting duties for my inner child done so early in the day, but here we are.

I hope Russia never forgives Putin for throwing her sons so callously into a meat grinder.

If a full accounting of Epstein’s crimes - and his accomplices - is ever made public, people on the left and the right are going to feel really dumb that we’ve been arguing with each other while the elites of both parties pal around and do abhorrent shit.

The blackpillers are becoming bulletpillers.
