"While tantalizingly intelligible, there is sadly no way to know what 'en penischock' translates to. I do not speak Swedish. No one does. Similarly, there is no way to know what the story is referring to further down where it says that 'Robinsons penis hängd ute.'" defector.com/hurdler-wins...

Well-meaning folks on Bluesky who dismiss sportsball as some kind of distraction to What Matters Now are missing a key point in creating an alternative to X: Sports for better or worse dominates American culture. You ignore enormous swaths of potential allies when you dismiss sports.

Sosa had a great night even without the cycle, but it is WILD that he had two opportunities in a row to meet Beyoncé and was like, “nah, I’m good”

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

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.

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.

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

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

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
