Wow! A handshake from Paul! That beats any FIFA Peace Prize by a mile! Congrats, Mina!!! 💯

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

She's gorgeous and an absolute sweetheart!

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

For Chuck Schumer, this has got to be especially harsh coming from one of the Baileys

This is a brilliant deep(ish) cut and you deserve so much more love for it.

I remember when the Atlanta Falcons won the Super Bowl 28-3 before their lead just was magically whittled away.

Another ICE case! Murphy's owners fled the state and couldn't take him with :( Murphy is dog/cat/kid friendly and just an all around good boy. He is being dropped off today, if anyone can say YES! Email fostersupport@thebondbetween.org!

The ICE surge in Minnesota has meant dogs losing homes. If you can foster Murphy, get in touch at the email listed.

i am as excited as anyone else, but you shouldn't make him fly the plane

The priest at my church got beat up at an anti-ICE protest on the peninsula this week, and when he showed up for Mass today with a black eye all the church ladies swooned like they had seen a Backstreet Boy.

Approximately 77% of sports reporters are in fact complete dumbasses. I say this as someone who spent many years as a sports reporter. (See also: coaches, i.e. Tuberville, Tommy)

Better (very, very) late than never. Hope it inspires the crew to rock the Thunder tonight.

The wait is over, Jamal Murray named 2026 NBA All-Star – Denver Sports The NBA announced Sunday that the Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray has been selected to the 2026 All-Star Game

Jamal Murray. All-Star!

Jamal is the first non-Nikola Jokic Nuggets All-Star since Melo. Denver sends two to the game for the first time in over 15 years when Anthony and Billups were honored.

Pretty sure even his most hardcore devotees know he's completely full of it on this one. They won't care or do anything about it, of course. But they know.

So I guess we are supposed to believe that Trump isn’t shutting down the Kennedy Center because pretty much every show and performer canceled on them and the facility would’ve been completely empty for the remainder of his term.

Almost every Grammys speech has included something about ICE violence and immigrants — even more historically conservative categories like country are making statements. Good shit.

Bon Iver is wearing a whistle at the Grammys to honor the protestors in Minneapolis.

So it was "expected" to be an all-time unprecedented flop (based on vague, unreliable industry projections), and instead, it turned out to merely be a massive flop (factoring opening box office vs. budget/marketing).

As an Irishman, watching a series where the British aristocracy are portrayed as attractive, interesting human beings does feel a bit like when Ryan Murphy does one of his sexy dramas about the BTK killer or whoever.

Translation: there are images with death, physical abuse, and injury.

Watson's rounding into form. Still not all there yet, obviously. Berserker mode still overtakes common sense at times. But man, I don't know how many players in the league can match his full-bore energy and heart. Giving it everything he has, every game, AND playing sharper at both ends this year.

It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

Can we ever get just one piece of good news? Thanks.

Go Seahawks

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

This is the CDC map for homicide rates by state for the most recent year on their website.

Gov. Landry, who leads one of the states in the nation with the highest murder rate, is on television chiding Minnesota, one of the states with the lowest murder rates.

In the first draft I had Homan speaking these words, but at the moment Bovino was the more visible face of the occupation so I swapped him out
