Who is running the planes? To the extent that a business entity is involved and it’s not purely fed resources, has anyone attempted to seek injunctive relief against the airlines?

Yeah it is genuinely fucking scaring me the degree to which all our cultural output about nuclear war lately seems to present it as a Struggle That Humanity Will Emerge From Stronger. We honestly cannot allow that message to propagate in our fictions, because it *will* doom us. Nuclear War is not…

bryce harper doing a full offseason of insane quasi-scientific medical procedures just for zack wheeler to show up to spring training with one of his ribs in a jar.

Meanwhile, they’ve reduced American domestic governance capacity in a similarly skewed value proposition.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Shit, didn’t realize it was from the archives. Much respect for your comprehensive awareness of broadcast sports.

Would be fascinated if @bubbaprog.xyz or someone with similar capabilities surfaced some feeds of this in other languages; what are the global variations of sympathy for getting hit in the dick and balls?

FAA closes airspace around El Paso, Texas, for 10 days, grounding all flights The Federal Aviation Administration is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport.

The FAA is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport, for “special security reasons."

The FAA's notice did not provide additional details.

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

All I know is that the funniest answer would be dbrb

🧵 In response to my posts on X today, DOJ 1) unredacted an FBI file that LABELS two individuals as co-conspirators 2) unredacted a file that lists several men who might be implicated 3) tacitly admitted that Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was the sender of the torture video

Thomas Massie is cooking right now and explicitly states that UAE Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was sending torture videos to Epstein

We might need to save that for 2028

I imagine he’s offering the gas station owner a parlay bet in this commercial.

Yeah I suspect the fears sound something like “if she can do all of this without me, what am I here for?” And rather than finding a healthy, useful answer, they simply perceive their own superfluousness and view it as an existential threat.

“Inessential to their world” strikes me as the key to the sexual politics of a lot of guys on the right who want tradwife obedience. The idea that a woman can make major household decisions and have her own career is anathema to the sort of “breadwinner” and “father knows best” identity they covet.

A bracing dose of reality for everyone who thought the proffered use case was perhaps a step removed from truly malicious uses of the system.

fuck this Ring commercial hiding fascism behind dogs

so many parallels with actual governance. It's all grievances about what otherwise exists all the way down, but ask them to *produce* something of their own and they are incapable

I interpreted it differently - the start of the set was in a sugarcane plantation, which was the original purpose for the Puerto Rico colony, and using enslaved labor - the power lines are a reference to PR's failing power grid, which has been experiencing chronic blackouts since hurricane Maria

Fuck ICE

Intersectionality is when dissimilar groups (billionaires with money, astroturf marchers who need money) unite over their common interests (money).

Even in a reality as stupid as ours, this is just a bridge too far for me.
