Angela is one of the best people I know and the democrats would be lucky to have her.

“I know people are really worried that they’re next, and I hate to be grim, but they are,” a worker laid off from the USGS in Utah told me. There are thousands of stories like these from fired federal workers across the country. Hard to fathom. More here: www.sltrib.com/news/environ...

"Fires, theft, and physical neglect are no longer the only major threats archives face: now we must also add ransomware to the list." Honestly, should add "ransom from rights holding conglomerates" as a risk too. time.com/6692315/digi...

Fine! We’ll start our own county! With churches! And dirty sodas! www.fox13now.com/news/politic...

Movies you’ve watched more than six times, gifs only.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

These people may have sex but they absolutely cannot fuck. Swagger-less oafs

BREAKING: every goddamn thing

Let's not forget this song exists

Calling Messi the reigning MLS Landon Donovan MVP, then following that with "8 time Ballon d'Or winner" is extremely funny. Funnest league in the world.

Are Brian Cage and MJF morphing into the same person? #AEW

I keep seeing "Why aren't the Americans striking" and "Because our healthcare is tied to our jobs" and it never gets less true or less depressing

I assume that Mike Lee, John Curtis and the Utah delgation are fully on board with this.

An amazing story about one rich shithead who has basically astroturfed an entire alternate political reality in Dallas, with aesthetics all the way across the political spectrum, in service of his many weird gripes and totally predictable reactionary politics. www.texasobserver.org/dallas-hero-...

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

It is super cool in my state that kindergarteners can learn about guns, but they can’t teach how bodies work in schools.

And on the heels of the Salt Lake City public library win. Shameful and appalling gutting of labor rights in Utah. Preview of coming attractions for the rest of us. www.reuters.com/world/us/uta...

“Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile.” — Kurt Vonnegut

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

I think the All-Star tournament was good. Letting Rising Stars play on AS Sunday is weird especially when calling for expanding the AS rosters has been shot down for years. & if you want people to be interested in basketball then the focus should be on basketball not huge breaks and Kevin Hart

Adam Silver can’t book. That seems pretty clear. He should take lessons from Tony Khan.

The “rip her tits off” chant is so perfect. #AEW

LMAOOOO 😭😭😭 #AEWGrandSlam

17 years after Breaking Bad became a sensation with its story about a teacher who becomes a meth dealer in order to pay for lung cancer treatment, America is finally addressing the serious societal situation the show highlighted by making it a lot harder to be a teacher

I know that this shouldn’t be funny, but this is so so funny

The things I think about the Utah state legislature are things I cannot say publicly

Oh man, the hold this album had on me.

Really telling how unprepared our media is to meet this moment that every outlet doesn’t have headlines blaring that Trump n Musk just did the largest layoff in history, with stories like this & analysis of the economic effects of suddenly firing the equivalent of the entire pop of Salt Lake City

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt
