I always find it interesting how teams deal with the "Every team has to have one Jesse Plemons" rule

And now I’m having flashbacks to the night an evening of watching John Starks, Alan Houston, Rick Smits, and Reggie Miller hoop it up was rudely interrupted by a certain slow motion white Bronco chase.

Lyra Valkyria: My character is rooted in Norse mythology and the symbolism of the Valkyries carrying honorable warriors to Valhalla and Folkvangr.... Internet Wrestling Fans:

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

RIP to George Wendt. Cheers was my favorite show as a kid and it still is. Even as an 8-year old I could really relate the beer-swilling, perpetually unemployed Norm www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXED...

THIS IS NOT REAL. THESE PEOPLE JUST MAKE SHIT UP.

Under its new leadership — who spread misinformation throughout the pandemic — the FDA announced it will limit all Covid vaccines to adults over 65 and those with certain medical conditions. Covid continues to spread and cause harm. This an anti-science move that will kill more Americans.

Journalists will cover a Republican soliciting a bribe then lying about it like this, and still have the gall act all surprised Pikachu that public trust in their profession is at an all time low.

I yelped

I'm going to spend two hours tomorrow morning feasting on the jokes, it's my christmas

Here's a thread of verified civilians trying to survive in Gaza. Their Bsky accounts are constantly deleted, so I’ll post directly to their funds. These are real people, in desperate need of help. We’re their only lifeline due to the aid blockades. Please give if you can and share. 1/17

Revisited Roger Ebert’s review of SPLASH (1984) this morning and while I don’t agree with him that John Candy should’ve been the romantic lead in THIS film I would’ve loved to see him in a few more roles like it elsewhere.

Back by popular demand

This reminds me of the guy who told me it would be fine if I, a disabled person, was collateral loss in his revolution because, to paraphrase, 'disabled people are already dying b/c of US healthcare, so it won't really make a difference.' It's just an excuse to discard groups of people. Fuck that.

It fits.

Under 65 years old? No Novovax COVID vaccine for you this year. As expected, the Republicans have enabled RFK Jr. and his coterie of antivax grifters to take away your right to make your own medical decisions in consultation with your doctor. Gift Link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/h...

I have a dear friend going through a relapse cycle with alcohol, and it’s made me want to write down some of the tricks I’ve learned for combating shame and the critical inner voice that perpetuates addiction cycles. I’m not a practitioner and your mileage may vary, but here’s what I’ve learned: 🧵

Sheesh! One day you're dating Kyle Rayner, the next day you're saying to yourself, "

Shoutout to Iberville Parish having a BALL lmaoooooooooooo

Chanel is a disabled friend who uses a wheelchair to get around. That means a wheelchair van is needed when she has to leave the house. If you can help her and her family afford replacement transportation, you'll be doing a world of good for an awesome person. If you can't donate, please RT

Yeah, pretty much. Maybe now I can get cheap merch? (I keep my fandom mostly low-key because of the obvious loudmouths you know. But these last two years have been fun, and we'll see how things go from here.)

I'll be honest, I thought he'd be saltier.

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens. Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

So the bad news is they made a Darth Vader AI bot for Fortnite, using James Earl Jones' voice. The good news is that it's probably going to get taken offline almost immediately.

[The WNBA season has arrived! And to celebrate the occasion, here is an enormous starter pack featuring tons of WNBA fans and W-based accounts who you can/should follow - that way you can keep up with the league without having to be on an app run by a guy who's obsessed with "white genocide".]

"...create, as best you are able, a safe harbor in the midst of all this hateful chaos for any children in your life (knowing we cannot fully shield anyone from what is happening). And when you can, if you can, find some way to fight for what you believe in."

OMEN III: THE FINAL CONFLICT (1981)

With revival screenings on the rise, I spent the past few weeks talking to folks from AMC, Regal, Alamo, Fathom, Blumhouse, and local repertory house Vidiots about the power of seeing older classics (and not-so-classics) in a theater. consequence.net/2025/05/movi...

RIP to a real one

VIBE CHECK: My daughter is doing a fun run fundraiser for her elementary school. If you can, make a donation. You are allowed to put "RFK Jr Has Stink Lines" in the donation comment I believe. mybooster.com/v3/dash/nTGN...

Idaho is like if a whole state was in on a Make A Wish campaign for weird pervert racists from the 30s

“Three days ago I saw a vehicle that’ll haul that fat ass out of the Oval Office. You wanna get outta the Trump era? You talk to me.”

bribes, levels— qatar: here’s a $400+M plane saudi arabia: here’s a quarter pounder

Got called into work, injured a finger (far more of an annoyance than injury thankfully, but still), and yelled OH NO multiple times at my phone while watching the Tatum injury in my car. You bet it was a 'buy Blu-Rays to feel better' kind of night. The inner 13-year old Celtics fan approved.

I need you to make calls to Congress because on Tuesday, the House Committee responsible for Medicaid is meeting to slash funding for Medicaid—the health program 80 million Americans rely on, the health program that has kept me alive. This piece is not paywalled, it is not locked—please share it.

Excellent, well-reported piece about members of a small upstate town that showed more courage and clarity under pressure than law firms and universities
