it's always good when you have to clarify your press conference days after it happened

Singing "trans sharia" to the tune of "My Sharona"

Listen, I don't say this ever, but good on Ritchie Torres.

nuggets signing a missouri player is great evidence for "josh kroenke is the gm"

learning that apollo 17 put the preamble to the united nations charter on the moon and getting emotional www.un.org/ungifts/cont...

Bill Kristol is more normal about Mamdani than Jake Tapper this genuinely says a lot about society

while obviously I like Mamdani's ideas generally it is particularly heartening to see a wholehearted embrace of multiculturalism as a positive good and even a campaign strategy/organizing principle pay off so dramatically well

villeneuve did a talk during the "no time to die" fyc campaign that now has added intrigue youtu.be/syYGiDUxzVo

Average Republican

in an era when everything is entertainment and reality tv (for a decisive bloc of swing voters) it becomes straightforwardly logical that the only candidates who will be able to put together plurality/majority coalitions are ones who seem like charismatic celebrities.

Speaking purely observationally, it is actually statistically impressive how rarely the sentiment "it's a religious, not ethnic conflict" is true.

BREAKING: Bill Moyers, the former White House press secretary turned prize-winning TV journalist, has died at 91.

Moyers PBS show was one of the last mainstream television shows that did real journalism. He had people on to talk about systematic Wall Street fraud and the Great Financial Crisis that basically no one else would have on.

I'm impressed by how many things here are wrong simultaneously.

cold, leftover beans are underappreciated

Justin Tucker suspended for 10 games, according to the NFL. Similar punishment to Deshaun Watson, who got 11.

interesting recurrent post on video game forums/subreddits — people talking about games not being as "exciting" as they were 10-15 years ago. the inability for one to accept getting older is everywhere.

if these guys want to call each other daddy, that's none of my business but i don't appreciate being forced to participate in their kink

something i’ve come to believe is that the story of why america broke bad is not one of want and deprivation but rather of luxury and decadence.

I mean it, guys. If SCOTUS tries to cancel birthright citizenship which is in plain text in the Constitution you HAVE to completely delegitimize them. By all means necessary we cannot allow the Trump admin to strip citizenship from and deport citizens based on this decision

decaying monarchy rockies are pretty funny, if nothing else. dick looking at his burned and diseased kingdom before turning to his sons and saying "this is all yours now"

remember when bowlen's two kids from his first wife fought with his five kids from his second wife, and in the legal proceedings an eighth child with a mistress was revealed

Thirty five years.

simply not enough monforts involved

one of the projects of the court is to expand the ability of states to pursue reactionary ends and constrain the ability of the federal government to set minimum standards *or* of democratic-led states to expand upon existing rights

my opinion on season length is preseason no longer serves a purpose (guys are training year round now, they don't work civilian jobs in the off-season) so might as well make those games "real"

ICE roughing up priests on camera is really the natural outcome of this

the media chose to be backslappy with this guy rather than give scandal level coverage to him being responsible for Samoa running out of child sized coffins because he's from the same social strata that they either are or are trying to climb into

"citizenship tests" are illiberal. to become a citizen, one should only declare themselves to be a citizen and maybe pick an nfl team.

Youth pastor voice: You know who else took on a globally important leadership role at the age of 33?
