Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

“latest shooting of gazans seeking food”

great reminder to all of those Democrats and liberals saying that we need to abandon red states because they are gerrymandered into right wing autocracies where the vote isn’t in their favor instead of accepting that we are gonna have to fight for every American no matter where they are.

This has to go seven games. We need maximum basketball.

Jalen Williams immediately walking that off is wild. I hurt my back just watching that.

Honored that my shenanigans can help fellow nerds around the world

MY BELOVED SEATTLE STORM HAVE SLAIN AN UNDEFEATED BEAST!

Proof that my daughter is silly: her favorite food right now is gooseberries.

This election is in your hands. But only if you’re registered to vote in New York City. The deadline is Saturday. zohranfornyc.com/vote

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

ONE OF THE FEW TIMES I AM PATRIOTIC IS WHEN I’M WATCHING WOMEN’S SPORTS. WAY TO GO COCO!!!!!

okay since Hali keeps doing this, it makes the Knicks look less like fools, so I'll allow it.

terrified to feel optimistic about anything but god, Zohran really is so good

Every episode of the Handmaid's Tale would be 15% shorter if they cut out all the slo-mo zoom-ins of June's face.

Wild and surprising but honestly... I think this is the right move. #KnicksIn26

don't cry because it's over, smile because we beat the defending champion Boston Celtics in the second round lol

It took ten years after my brief time in Paris where I’d attend games on the regular, BUT PSG HAS WON THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, LET’S GO—err ALLEZ!!

My mother, who did my baseball laundry for years when I played travel ball growing up, gets absolutely giddy when I get dirty playing adult softball and then have to do my own laundry. Literally went “hahaha YES!” in response to this.

I AIN’T HEAR NO BELL.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done #BlueSkiesOnBluesky, so here’s an absurd view from my recent trip to Switzerland!

It’s really comforting that as food skyrockets in price, your neighbors are disappeared by masked goons, and people die en masse of preventable illness, Republicans and Democrats can come together and say: fuck this one trans teenager in particular for trying to run track with her friends

DON’T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME.

I love listening to @schub.es’ podcasts because I’m always like: where can I find a nerd that knows about basketball to help to create an analogy about the adaptation of Greek to Roman gods…that also took Latin in high school btw, loving today’s episode of @newestolympian.bsky.social

We’ve finished covering chapters of The Son of Neptune, but we’ve got one more episode about this book because we’ve gotta talk with @GoAstroMo about all the mythological mentions that made @schub.es go “DR. MOIYA?!” Come learn about THE YULE LADS! www.thenewestolympian.com/ep177

I cannot walk past a broken escalator without thinking “An escalator cannot break; it can only become stairs.”

I’ve long advocated for the NBA adopting the FIBA rule where you can block the ball after it hits the rim and everyone knows this about me.

I literally boo people in person if they ever mention they use AI.

There are already a couple options for "Joe Rogan of the left" but they are actually "of the left" and therefore Democrats and their money hate them. Instead they will spend tens of millions on some turd who, you're not gonna believe this, fucking sucks.

"Your life should not be a museum." "Being alive is as special an occasion as it gets."

So great to finally meet you after years of online interactions! Happy to hear you enjoyed the show 😁
