If only there were a local publication that could break this trade down for Wizards fans

Minimizing the window where I read about how our world is a joke and we're at the mercy of megalomaniacal evil perverts. Logging on to the work zoom. "Heyyyy I'm good! How are you?"

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

Catherine Valentine @ValentineNews_ 🚨 Launching an emergency Substack x Washington Post masterclass with @ChrisCillizza to help our friends, as two former Posties. Details incoming - will respond on this thread.

oh fuck yeah that's the good stuff right there

my out of left field guess is that it originally was "spastic" but disability advocates have pushed for that word not to be used in that manner, so they just changed it to another word that just sounded close to that

About G-Wiz Introduced in 1997, G-Wiz is the official mascot of the Washington Wizards. Many wonder what G-Wiz even is, but it depends on who you ask... Opposing teams see him as a menace, while NiceKicks has referred to him as “The best sneakerhead mascot in the NBA” and every Wizards fan sees him as their best friend. G-Wiz loves all things basketball, video games, fashion, and memes. He stays up to date on all the latest things on social media, you should check out his pages @wizardsgwiz. Although a little awkward and sporadic, G-Wiz is still the life of the party, bringing the energy to Capital One Arena every game. You may see him shooting t-shirts from a hoverboard, riding his ATV, pranking the opposing team, or just shaking his belly. No matter what he is doing, don’t hesitate to ask for a photo as he loves making new friends and catching up with old ones!

you're not far off

I want to stress that the White House didn’t even bother falsely denying our reporting which they do all the time, they just said: no, he’d be cheered lustily if he did go, in California, actually

i know i've been pretty quiet but here's the result of my January: a totally handmade, fully-functional marionette created for a local winter-themed puppet show. she's called the Winter Maw & she'll eat you alive, just like real winter

A post from fucking schmuck Michael rapaport. It shows an AI image of Epstein, bill Clinton, Mira Nair, and a young boy. The caption reads: In Good Company: Afterparty in 2002 at Ghislaine Maxwell's New York townhouse. This was after a screening of the film Amelia, directed by Mira Nair. The two circled in red are Mira Nair, the acclaimed Indian American filmmaker in the red dress, and her young son Zohran Mamdani, the kid in black. Yeah. That kid. #EpsteinFiles

this fucking schmuck

I will say my guess is that Jeff Bezos is not destroying the Washington Post out of a properly ideological crusade against freedom of the press but more likely out of a combination of boredom and pique that his interventions in the paper over the last eighteen months were unappreciated

People keep saying Bezos wrecked the Post on purpose but he could have just done that if he wanted to, no need to drag it out for years. I think he and his fellow traveler billionaires have thoroughly cooked their worldview and honestly believe there is a vast, silent, ignored right wing audience

In case anyone thinks OP is exaggerating the point

weirdly-shaped head

Oh hey it’s that man who got beat up by all those kids, and now we all know his name! What fun

a lot of good letting the algorithm collect your personal data is doing for you

for a couple of days, bluesky showed reposts on user-created feeds, which i liked. they should work on bringing that back instead of "accidentally" banning dril

why must he be a gigantic child? couldn't a normal-sized child have posted that?

Welcome to Alamance County, North Carolina An excerpt from "The Legend of Wyatt Outlaw: From Reconstruction through Black Lives Matter" by Sylvester Allen Jr. and Belle Boggs.

Up now on @indyweek.bsky.social, an excerpt from this essential new @uncpress.bsky.social release. It tells the story of Wyatt Outlaw - a voting rights crusader and Graham’s first Black elected official. He was lynched in 1870. There are no public markers for his life yet, but now there’s a book.

It’s because they both dated Connie Britton and it just feels weird to try to be friendly knowing that

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Shark racing past NC’s Outer Banks was trying to out run something, experts say Who knew large apex predators were so fussy.

aren't we all in some way

bsky cto saying no one knows why dril was banned bsky cto posting about using claude all day
