Okay! This is going to take a while so I had to finish some stuff first, but: Why Da Pope Fucking Up Opus Dei Is A Huge Fucking Deal: a thread

Cool cool, we're making merkins happen again, love it

Multitasking sure does give the illusion of progress

I'll always see a bald eagle in flight as majestic, even if it's just picked up trash in this Target parking lot.

Musician playing ‘Ghostbusters’ outside ICE facility is arrested by agents ‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…”

Every tech billionaire has one idea, and that idea is “what if the robot could fuck me”

Yep. A space race style competition burning billions to create the first sexmaid

Do you think he shortened his name from Eduardo to Eduard?

News footage from Portland shows a calm, tranquil city. But an AI video that Stephen Miller texted to Donald Trump shows the city as a burning hellhole. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I love how when a pitcher throws it in the dirt, the catcher tosses the ball aside like "yeah dude for sure it was the ball's fault, that's a bad ball" and everyone just goes with it and moves on

Somehow turned on a British stream of TNT for the Brewers game on our weird streaming service and it's... strangely soothing during commerical breaks

Did anyone else see this today and wonder wtf happened?

Oopsie, Stephen.

I truly hate to be the guy who goes online and says something like SHARE THIS WITH YOUR PEOPLE. But considering the media blackout on this thing, maybe ... share this with your people. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Fascists come in two flavors, either Ogre or Goblin. Ogres are big dumb meathead oafs (Mussolini, Trump) and goblins are scrawny little weasel creeps who are also dumb (Hitler, Stephen Miller). JD Vance desperately wants to be an ogre but he is absolutely a goblin.

Anyone that envies Chicago can just... go there. Milwaukee's greatness doesn't depend on anything but Milwaukee

1. Sports grudges are fun
2. Milwaukee is cool as hell, and so is Chicago, and most people in both cities agree on this.

Now I need to hear Ludacris rapping one fish two fish red fish blue fish and also need to see Dr. Seuss style illustrations of My Chick Bad

Ludacris could've written Dr Seuss but Dr Seuss couldn't have written "Ho"

I get avoiding uneven sidewalks, and also roads have plenty of uneven spots and the camber is just as annoying to me. Pick your hazard, I suppose.

But particularly walking on the street when there is no sidewalk traffic...

There's a certain segment of people that will run or walk on the street when there's a sidewalk available. But why? Why???

I will never not repost this

Gangs Of Minneapolis Turf Wars: Wild Turkeys vs Canadian Geese

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

Suddenly my weekly meal plan includes a baguette with every meal, mainly as a butter vessel

On the one hand, it's a terrible idea that doesn't address the root problem, and on the other hand, it's a gift to your political rivals. Hard to come up with a worse idea, really.

If our leaders are not restrained by the law, why should the rest of us be?

U.S. comedy, music, and culture is absolutely begging for a massive infusion of anti-authority punk sentiment to offset all this dim, hackish, opportunistic clownishness
