Leaning at an angle on a ladder propped up against the back deck of a brown townhouse, an outrageously large grey couch still wrapped in the yellow/black/red ratchet straps that were just used to lower it down from the deck above.

Our stupidly large couch fit neither down the staircase nor out the front door, so the only way to get it into the basement was over the deck with a little help from my friends. An outrageous plan, executed flawlessly. Big thanks to Ryan and Dan.

I just finished. I loved it!

The moment RG3’s knee buckled and gave out against Seattle in the 2013 playoffs.

Last time this shit happened was against Seattle, too.

Thanks to @stevenhyden.bsky.social, I don’t have to pay attention to the Commanders’ latest prime-time disappointment.

Where TF were the Republicans performing opposition to Trump hanging out with Fuentes 3 years ago?

Hi Tara. Love the video. Follow-up question: why are you here?

I can’t see the OP that’s being QT’ed here; already’ve blocked them. I assume that’s not a bad thing?

NYT push notification: Breaking News President Trump said he would raise tariffs on Canada by 10% over an ad that used Ronald Reagan's words to denounce tariffs. now

We live in the dumbest fucking timeline.

This is just straight-up treason by rubio, he's wrecking our ability to fight organized crime in order to help bukele cover up his apparently cozy relationship with MS-13 leadership and possible theft of us foreign aid, all so trump et al can get photos of us sending hairdressers to torture prison

Executive summary: the US killed at least 3 Colombian fishermen who’d put up a distress flag. In Colombian waters

The front of a high school English classroom. Two bookshelves and a lamp in the corner under a flag that reads “Abide No Hatred”. Onto the whiteboard is projected the header from the NYT piece announcing the death of ‘90s R&B icon D’Angelo.

D’Angelo is dead. Just 51 years old. Cancer…

In his honor, I will play a little bit of “Voodoo” for my students.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Treasury Department Has Plans To Mint Dollar Coin Featuring Donald Trump's Likeness | Defector The United States Department of the Treasury has developed, to the brink of production, a dollar coin that features the face and likeness of President Donald Trump, according to a source within the Tr...

Julius Caesar was the first Roman to put his own living face on coins, weeks before his death. It is one of the deepest cultural signifiers of something autocracies do and republics do not.

“Render unto Caesar.” A practice so notoriously arrogant Jesus himself dunked on it with snarky wordplay.

Feels a bit like watching the founding of a new religion, or at least a new cult. Charlie Kirk as a new prophet they can cite when Jesus is too woke.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

"school shooting industry"

That slimy, disgusting fucker drew a young teen girl. Not a woman. But a teen girl. Maybe a pre-teen. I can't wrap my head around that. He intentionally drew a sexual figure of a child and sent it to his pedophile friend as a little jokey joke for his birthday. It's impossible to comprehend.

the thing is if you have a six hour day for eight hours pay & full employment you now have time to enjoy walking your dog. to cook yourself something at leisure. to enjoy taking care of your dwelling. the answer isn't magic robots. it's unions, it's workers getting the means of production

What's dangerous about these accumulated choices to cover the end of constitutional rule of law as a debate between reasonable sides is that it reflects a deep truth about constitutionalism: that the rules of the game are established purely by convention & the alignment of mutual expectation.

My mother-in-law also told me later: when they first came to ask her if they could share the table, there were only 2 of them. The other 2 surreptitiously joined the table a few minutes after the first 2. Fuckin shitheads.

Apparently, the murmuration of starlings scared my daughter, causing her to drop her barely-eaten $9.95 slice of pizza cheese side-down onto the ground. The assholes never even apologized, let alone offered to replace my daughter’s pizza. Just outrageous levels of selfishness…

Daughter’s $9.95 slice of pizza sits half-eaten, wrong side up, on the tray. Strange. I only find out later, from my mother-in-law, that the strangers, evidently, purposefully dumped a whole order of fries on the ground next to the table to attract starlings. For fun, I guess. Who knows?

There are 4 strangers with my family when I come back. “We’ve commandeered half your table, hehe” says the (obviously) white lady in a pseudo joking tone. I have to straddle the bench seat uncomfortably close to my mother-in-law, and I’m not amused…

Mother-in-law, 5 y/o daughter, 10 month-old & I are at the National Zoo. Outdoor food court has Sbarro or BBQ food truck. Everyone but me wants the former, so I sit and hold a hard-found table while they get their food first. They come back and sit down; I get up to order my BBQ…

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Despite what some Democratic consultants suggest, the pro-democracy party’s first question shouldn’t be, “Does stopping fascism poll well?”

You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.
