This makes no sense until you remember that RFK Jr is a eugenicist.

New York leaders, advocates vow to re-raise Stonewall pride flag after Trump admin removal New York City are expected to gather at the Stonewall National Monument to re-raise the pride flag after the National Parks Service removed it from federal grounds.

It happened today. Trump ordered the pride flag taken down. It's back up now!

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

From island to ice: The origins of Olympic curling stones How curling stones are carved from ancient Scottish rock and shaped much as they were half a century ago.

Great illustrated piece by Reuters about curling stones, everything from the tiny uninhabited Scottish isle the granite comes from to the physics of a curling throw.

I thought haha this has to be a humorous paraphrase but no.

It's corny as hell but the solution to fascism is loving thy neighbor

Gary knows where we're headed.😔

my understanding from reading people in the know is that CBP was known as the place for fuckups who couldn’t hack it anywhere else and was considered a backwoods clown agency

now they’re being given infinite money, no supervision and - apparently - drone lasers

what could go wrong

“The Germans explode all over each other!” might be the funniest Olympic commentary I’ve ever heard. (Men’s snowboard cross quarterfinals)

*now 3 curling games (China just conceded to GB)

Simultaneously watching 4 curling games and 1 football match is a special kind of madness I highly recommend.

whut?

A photo of figure skaters Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn, and Isabeau Levito. Above them, text reads “Alt, Gay, and from New Jersey”: The “Babes of Glory” are TikTok Fancam Fuel. The post was made by Them.

I can’t stop laughing about “and from New Jersey”

Same, until I saw Mike Johnson sadly shaking his head in commiseration.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

"'Shut up and play' was always the demand. But it used to mean: don’t protest, don’t kneel, don’t turn your back on the flag. Now it means: don’t answer the question. Don’t have feelings. Don’t be anything other than grateful. Shut up and salute."

Excellent piece about the abuse and its coverage.

Jesus has an opportunity to do the funniest thing, while also making a fucking killing on Polymarket.

Ilia Malinin obviously an extraordinary skater but I think I'd rather have a beer with Yuma Kagiyama.

I’m sure televising her humiliation to millions worldwide will win her over in a heartbeat.

Superb showing by Sweden to win the gold. Couldn’t be prouder of the way Corey and Korey have played this last week to grab that silver for #TeamUSA. Corey the first Olympic medal winner for women’s #curling ever! 🎉

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Noooo why why why

#curling

a monitor displays a heartbeat and the number 12:08 Alt: a monitor displays a heartbeat and the number 120

8th and maybe final end for mixed doubles #curling. #TeamUSA could bring home the gold! Heart rate =

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Several competently drawn horses on a color gradient, along with a thing that looks like an injured crab

Oh no I hit the go button too soon and accidentally created the Headless Horseman's headless horse

If the Constitution allowed for him to be removed by ten million of us simultaneously snapping our fingers Thanos-style, we would do it in a heartbeat, but sadly it's a little more complicated than that.

The interesting thing is that according to @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social there is no PDF version of the Saturday, August 10 announcement. It's just a statement on the website. Not sure what to make of that, if anything.

The USA is off to the Gold Medal Match to play Sweden after this last shot ...

*screams head off for #TeamUSA #curling, scares cats*

Headed to the gold-medal mixed-doubles match!!

Fun fact: The divorce scene in the Kid Rock show was an actual divorce showing a wife leaving her conservative husband.
