Just got back from Europe, where gorgeous third spaces and generous public services abound. Americans are so terrified that The Undeserving might get something that they'd rather have nothing for anyone. Why THAT is the case is another question.

But probably racism.

I had to walk to downtown Minneapolis and wait for a ride the other day and there were no benches or places to sit, so I sat inside an indented window frame of a closed business. As I was sitting there, two men came up to me and told me to get up because people aren't allowed to sit in window frames

all anyone is ever doing by saying stuff like this is admitting they're a useful mark the right can exploit to push their wedge issues further. amazing that otherwise smart people still don't realize how this game is played

Jordan Romano just needs more high leverage appearances. Max Kepler just needs more at bats. Your ex just needs another chance.

honestly god bless Philadelphia

Doesn’t anybody want Jodie Foster to fall in love with them after a grand gesture anymore?

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.”

Seattle Mariners @Mariners “Tonight's first pitch, thrown by @SeattleStorm co-owner Ginny Gilder, begins a new baseball tradition. This one-of-a-kind Pride Ball will travel to ballparks across the country for Pride events all June long, as we join teams across @MLB in celebrating the ways baseball brings communities together.” Featuring a picture of Ginny Gilder and also a baseball with rainbow stitching.

battle to see who kills themself first

Rob Thompson just called me and asked if I could pitch tomorrow. Does anyone know anything about this?

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

elon musk to donald trump at every meeting in the oval office: “you are in the epstein files. meet my 3 year old son”

Why aren’t Dems on everything talking about the Joni Ernst “you can die” bill?

My “you’re over 30” advice is hold onto the bannister. Stairs will kill you and not even look back

Also holy shit the Mariners Pride Month video is SO good

No matter who you are or who you love, you are welcome here.

Happy Pride Month, Minnesota!

Sweeping the Braves would have been the best outcome but winning the series while losing the run differential by -3 is the funniest and that's important too.

“She Was Tearful About It”: The Nuances of Casey Means’s Medical Exit and Antiestablishment Origins Donald Trump’s new nominee to be the next surgeon general has said she walked away from a promising career in the medical establishment. Some fellow residents and a former department chairman say the ...

Called it. Casey Means didn’t drop out of residency because she was “disillusioned with the medical establishment.” She had already taken a prolonged leave of absence & was having serious performance issues. There’s no way she was on track to graduate after already missing 3 months. It’s all a grift

A screen cap of Darth Vader from Revenge of the Sith from the part where he asks Palpatine where Padme is but she’s dead. I have crudely edited the subtitles to say “Where is Bryce? Is he safe, is he all right?” in an attempt to approach the potential injury of Phillies star Bryce Harper with a sense of humor. I hope I will not be quote posting this with the next image of Darth Vader shouting “nooooooo!!” soon which would mean a longterm injury. I am hoping it is just a bruise that will make him sit for a week at worst. Wouldn’t that be nice? The Atlanta Braves must be punished. It is a racist organization made of cheaters and losers.

I miss the 2008 Phillies. If someone had plunked Chase in the elbow like that the benches would’ve been cleared.

Fall is Sports time…maybe late January?

It’s just a bruise I say, crying and vomiting uncontrollably

if god didn’t want us to gossip she wouldn’t have made it feel so good

In an interview, Mr. Fetterman, who represents 13 million people, said he felt he had been unfairly shamed into fulfilling senatorial duties, such as participating in committee work and casting procedural votes on the floor, dismissing them as a "performative" waste of time. Instead, he said he was "showing up because people in the media have weaponized" his absenteeism on Capitol Hill to portray him as mentally unfit, when in fact it is a product of a decision to spend more time at home and less on the mundane tasks of being a senator.

This entitled schmuck, who thinks he’s too good to wear a suit and do the boring parts of his job.

1-0 games against the likes of the pirates, rockies and athletics is not particularly inspiring

This is so fucking funny
