YouTube video by Olympics Alysa Liu wins the Olympic gold medal for the United States

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

Watching the rest of the world's leaders face consequences

Selma, 1964:

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

nine years old

I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there

Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

Happy new year my good bitches. If we all focus, we can make this the year that it finally happens.

Has anyone thought of luring certain old humans into a theater. It would have to be a short film, for short attention spans.

Unrelated I am watching inglourious basterds.

That's so cool. Wishing for pvp at some point to really ratchet up the tension

Letters for Lucardo is not only sexy, it is also extremely compelling storytelling. plus it has one of the most unsettling monsters I've ever seen in it!

IT IS COMPLETE ASS DARK AT 6PM. this is bullshit

This is what they should be used for

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.

Looks like that Trump endorsement of Cuomo was just what both of them needed!

I only knew the modern meaning of "Luddite" until recently. Turns out, the Luddites were badass, actually. So you get a thread! And now you'll know too!

A famous thread from the dead bird site, by @IAmRageSparkle: 1. I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out." 2. And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed 3. Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them." And i was like, ohok and he continues.

Continuation of @IAmRageSparkle’s thread 4. "you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too. 5. And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down. 6. And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people." And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.

I’m seeing a lot of references to The Nazi Bar. Here are the OG tweets from the dead bird site, with alt-text. Share them with others, teach them to the young & naive, so that they may thrive! It’s Popper’s Paradox in a crustpunk bar…

Not only is it going to be a hunger crisis, it's going to be a farm crisis. All those gallons of milk bought from dairy farmers, all the produce, all the on sale ground beef and packs of chicken that are paid for by SNAP are subsidies to farmers who don't qualify for commodities subsidies.
