The 30 Rock where Liz was an asshole in high school but she thinks she was the one who was bullied because she was unpopular is really a Rosetta Stone for our time

meanwhile, over here in reality, dads are taking their sons to high school velocity clinics then pressuring them to get tommy john to "get it over with"

there’s two thing all sports crazy, controlling dads love: trans kids and women’s softball

imagine buying potato chips on amazon lmao

Pete Rose amassed 4,256 career hits, more than any player in MLB history. He was an MVP. He won three World Series rings. He does not belong in Cooperstown. Those ideas aren't mutually exclusive. http://dlvr.it/TJLFP0

a panel of experts has rated the united states the world's best country. congratulations to the united states

as someone who’s worked in the service industry, every job ive had at a small business has been more exploitative and abusive than the ones at corporate joints. trumps biggest base of support is from petty tyrant small business owners. if you want to consume ethically, support worker cooperatives

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)

Sure, laugh at the French Third Republic, but it lasted 69 years, which is longer than the US lasted as a universal suffrage liberal democracy.

Juan Soto: The Musical

There are many mysteries and ambiguities in life but the nature of this gesture is not among them. It's a Nazi salute.

baseball is back

These photos recalling the pro-Union rally held in the same square in 1861 after secessionist Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumpter.

AI mistakenly tagged an Excel spreadsheet of Palestinian high school students as a list of militants in the system that Israel uses to decide how to launch strikes. apnews.com/article/isra...

a good rule is to ignore anyone who calls editing "wordsmithing"

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

The official White House “Make America Healthy” again plan.

A key to understanding this is that the people who were committing PPP fraud are the base of Trump and the Republican Party's support

this is one of the funniest things a national politician has ever posted. he live-tweets a tv show during an ongoing constitutional crisis and when someone tells him they find this irritating he’s like “hey listen, this show meant a lot to me when i was a 30-year-old boy”

Immaculate Conception of a Plan. @theonion.com

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)

I am absolutely going to be white-knuckling it until the baseball season starts. I don't expect it to fix anything in the world or in me, but it'll at least get the ratio between Nasty Slider Videos and pictures of RFK Jr's awful hot dog meat face on my timeline back in order somewhat.

the way to understand this is that stoller is happy that musk and trump is going after the kinds of people who make fun of him on the internet for being a dumbass

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

MAJOR BREAKING: Pope Francis has written a letter to US Bishops saying he’s following “major crisis” of “mass deportations;” takes on Vance saying “The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the “Good Samaritan”

Susan Collins: these cuts are going to do terrible things for science in America RFK Jr eating a live panda: no they won’t Susan Collins: alright sounds good

STEBAN, THE STUDENT COMMUNIST - “In dark times, should the stars also go out?”

Let's Go Mets

they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever

Shocking but hardly surprising that Fox Sports is putting Cleatus The NFL Robot front and center in its Super Bowl coverage despite his extremely well-documented actions on January 6. That's the country we live in now.

If Cleatus can celebrate Mardi Gras, does Cleatus also sacrifice something during Lent

Go bills

This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake web.archive.org/web/20231206...

I'd like to see more writing on how the Musk/Trump junta feels like a frontal attack on the entire concept of virtue, in even the most traditional senses. They are actively demonizing and punishing everyone who doesn't worship Mammon.

Nothing but contempt for law professors explaining that Our Constitutional System Is Working because some judge issued a temporary restraining order while children in Uganda contract preventable HIV infections because Trump is gutting USAID. "But the trains ran on time"-level analysis. Pathetic.

sunday’s super bowl rematch between the philadelphia eagles and the dynastic kansas city chiefs is more than a game. it’s business — big, big business

SCOOP: Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but then abruptly vanished. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

Harvard Divinity School punished students for having a PRAYER-IN last semester. I absolutely understand why students have decided to change tactics. When you tell people to stop protesting genocide, it absolutely impacts how they respond to your shouts about fascism. Everything is connected.

CORPORATE DEI WEBINAR: If you meet someone from East Asia, you should avoid asking "So which kind are you?" JACUZZI DEALERSHIP OWNER: Well, that's it. Time to start the Fourth Reich.
