Senile motherfucker really tried "NO TAG-BACKS"

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

Is Susan Collins concerned yet

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

Phillies celebrated Pride Night in the best way possible: by having two guys slide in at once

New theory: one of the reasons Zohran Mamdani has been able to amass support beyond the typical DSA base is because he subconsciously reminds Liberals of Lin-Manuel Miranda and the DSA folks just ignore that part. Like, he kinda looks like if LMM grew the goatee out into a full beard

This is a huge bummer. Love this show.

and people say this website is dying

I understand this kind of thing is terrifying to see, but it's also proof the Administration is scrambling. Well oiled machines don't lash out and attract scrutiny like this. Their mass deportation agenda is turning out to be much more difficult and heavily resisted than they ever imagined.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

It's a principled stance to say that Iranians deserve liberation from their government and that Israel (and the US and Europe) attacking is not liberatory, kills innocent people, and makes it harder to achieve liberation - especially because chaos and repression thrives in wars

"Don't start another war" is somehow simultaneously the one thing the entire US electorate is united behind and the one thing both political parties are lockstep against.

It seems fashion trends from 2003 aren’t the only bad choices we’re repeating in 2025

The Producers

Thank you to my son and his day care for this terrifying Father’s Day gift.

I love this so much they wanted a big counterprotest sooooo bad so they would have an excuse to do some violent bullshit and instead they are just squeaking their way down empty silent streets looking like huge losers. NO ONE CAME TO HIS BIRTHDAY PARTY. he is going to lose his mind

What people mocking flag discourse refused to get through their head because it was too wine mom-coded is that those arguing that protestors should bring flags were very much aware the flag isn't a shield from police brutality, and understood the optics of exactly what's happening in this photo.

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

The revolution is full of 60-year-old women who love their trans kids.

Really hard to overstate the extent to which opposition to the current administration is the default position of normal people. They’re handing out kazoos. There’s bubble machines

TRUST THE PROTESTS

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

Democrats in Washington should unite in doing whatever is in their power to bring this government to a screeching halt over this.

A United States Senator has been thrown to the ground and put in handcuffs by federal agents for trying to question a cabinet official.

I forgot to share this earlier, but I wrote this and I think you’ll like it

A good phrase you can memorize for protesting is "ain't seen shit." See something you don't like? no you didn't. Someone asks you what someone did? You ain't seen shit, I promise.

Periodic reminder that every day is STFU Friday Also, sharing the location of cops in the public performance of their jobs is ironclad First Amendment-protected expression If you're concerned something you've said has you on the Government's radar, call your lawyer instead of posting through it

Thank you for the stern scolding but it’s actually possible to both enjoy two malignant rich fucks viciously falling out and understand it doesn’t fix every problem immediately.

I’m so fucking here for this breakup

Did the Athletics decide not to go by Sacramento in order to avoid having a BAL-SAC series when the Orioles play there?

Umpires will not see heaven.

Imagine being a Philly Toyota dealership during the era of the Rav 4th Inning. How would they stay open? Do they get bomb threats?

It is stomach turning that Sirianni, Barkley, BG, DeJean and Brian Dawkins are participating in this flat out scam. Shame on them

New York City votes for mayors like they believe Batman is real and want him to have someone to fight

Oh no, not the AI industry, an eleventybillion-dollar sector that employs fives of people

This is the face of a guy who just struck out on 3 pitches

Do we think the silver bead curtain from Sunset Blvd. was made for the show, or did American Utopia leave it behind after their run at the St. James, and then Jamie Lloyd was like “Sweet, dibs”?

If I ever end up executed by the state, but they offer me the choice of how I go, I’m requesting that Schwarber tees off on my noggin

The Phils’ offensive approach today seems to be “let’s put as much late-inning pressure as possible on our bullpen, now that it’s without its best pitcher.”

if you don’t fuck with That Corn Man, please unfollow me thank you
