four stick figures on sleds, one is sliding face first, face down, marked "skeleton", diagonally opposite to it is one sliding feet first, face up, marked "luge". The other two combinations are drawn and labeled with question marks

given the existence of skeleton and luge, i postulate the existence of two other, yet to be discovered, winter olympic sports

“I don’t want him in my fucking bar,” Fergie Carey insists. “Things are too serious now for that kind of stuff. Unfollow, unfriend, fuck off.”

interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”

This was Wes Anderson *as hell.*

It is excruciating to watch the consequences pile up for politicians and/or the otherwise rich and powerful in every other country except our own

it turns out Mitch Hedberg was really ahead of his time with this pitch

it was probably Lisa Salters until Greg Gianforte fuckin bodyslammed the reporter Ben Jacobs

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

once my son woke me up to ask what a three dimensional hexagon was called. yes, please. ask me about the gay instead.

good book!

Trump take house

he literally dangled from power lines meant to symbolize the dilapidated Puerto Rican power grid

maybe I was just younger and less mature but I swear Super Bowl commercials used to be funnier

Whats the over/under for "celebrities you will think less of because of their AI ad" today?

For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career — from his embrace of birtherism to his hatred of birthright citizenship — cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism. Trump is not profound. He has been the same person this whole time. The question is why so many others have refused to see what he has never bothered to hide.

This, from @jamellebouie.net is exactly right. And I think so many folks have refused to see or admit what Trump is because admitting implicates them, or their families, so denial is easier.

curling is fun because you get to watch people push their body to the brink by using a broom

I'm pretty positive on adulthood cause I get to say things from Batman: The Animated Series like "I have a fundraiser to attend" "The Council votes on that tomorrow" and "Oh no! The Riddler!"

There should be Congressional hearings over this

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
