finally. baseball is over. we can only hope it has been defeated forever

Sometimes you read an article that makes you feel like... idk... 15 years ago, some of us got on an express train and saw what was on the tracks ahead. And now we're on a call to the people on the slower train, now approaching, and they cannot comprehend the landscapes we describe as familiar.

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.

This is Kirk's legacy.

You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

yesterday "here is proof that the president is a sex criminal" felt pretty bad. today "almost all of the news media is assisting in covering up the fact that the president is a sex criminal" feels much worse

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains

Let me see if there's room under your blanket statement so I know what caricature to play to make you comfortable.

Guy who only watches pro wrestling, watching America: Getting a lot of 'brand split' vibes from this...

Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings re-make, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:

NYC youth baseball coach confronts ICE: ‘I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids' A New York City baseball coach said he confronted immigration agents who questioned minors at a park: "I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids."

“There's only one way to get into the cage, so my whole thing was I can control that. I was in front of the entrance and that's when I just said, you know, I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids." www.wcpo.com/politics/imm...

not to be a conspiracy theorist but at some point we should talk about what kids shows are trying to teach them. the ideologies laundered through cg animals and cutesy monsters run a lot deeper than the "message" of an episode, which is as deep as most parents are willing to delve

3 days is the perfect amount of time to spend at a hotel. any more and you start to change into a different person. any less and you don't have time to adjust

I was going to embed the tweet but instead I just downloaded the video to immortalize here instead

Two weeks ago: “The Committee to Protect Journalists is gravely worried about the safety of Al Jazeera Arabic’s Gaza correspondent Anas Al-Sharif, who is being targeted by an Israeli military smear campaign, which he believes is a precursor to his assassination.”

the main alignment problem is that we didnt need to align technology we needed to align capitalists

Our staff is on the ground supporting families. Many workers-including US citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more. US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones. 4/

Sorry but you can’t have a series of Jeffrey Epstein buddies lead the country for over a collective decade and then expect me to care about what boxes someone checked on their college application

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

This story should not have been published. They hint at an accusation (Mamdani said he is black to get into a fancy college) they can't back up. That this was published tells me that Mamdani's most important opponent may not be Cuomo or Adams but a paper whose NEWS section will run stuff like this.

america was and is the shittiest place there is crossed with a latent dream of being the best place there could be and sometimes the light leaks through the cracks

every position of power should be designed to be as hostile as possible to the person holding it. power should destroy you. your position should inspire disgust from the people who used to care about you. they should be begging what is left of you to let go of that power and return to life as a body

fundamentally the democratic party does not exist. maybe they haven't since 2015, maybe they haven't since 2007, maybe they haven't since 1991. When the sun goes out we won't know for 8 minutes. when termites hollow out the supports in your house you can't see it until you press and it gives.

They used to have to fabricate or deliberately misinterpret intelligence to give the veneer of legitimacy to these actions. They don't even think you're worth that anymore.
