there are so many big reasons that it's wrong to have just a few people hoard so much wealth but one of the smaller ones is those people no longer have anyone around them who will tell them their ideas suck and they're a fucking dork
"macrohard" i hate this guy so fucking much
Sources to @NFLonCBS : The NFL is reviving its Accelerator Program after a one-year hiatus, but the league will now invite non-diverse participants into the program originally created to increase and advance minority talent at the highest levels of teams. Story to come.
Here's the NFL capitulating to the most unpopular president of all time.
i don't think the outburst was premeditated at all! but i also think trying to say she's seen the light or whatever after joining ICE in 2025 and the MN DOJ after is ridiculous. you either have to believe she was so foolish she didn't understand what she was doing or that she's fine with it.
honestly can't figure out why she's not running as a Republican save for that she just doesn't want the label hung on her even though it's pretty clear that is what she is
sam it is so weird
don't get me wrong: Ilhan would (rightly) eat me alive! but at least i'm not a former ICE attorney now trying to reinvent myself as some sort of hero!
oh absolutely. i genuinely believe that people (not her! other people! better people!) should always start smaller, more local, both in terms of learning about your community and getting experience campaigning in smaller-stakes environments.
i think even that is a stretch tbh.
and of all the offices to run for, CD5, the district that was absolutely hammered by ICE, the place she was proud to work. running as a Democrat. against Ilhan Omar. Look, *I* could get more votes in that primary, and I am an idiot who yells on the internet for a living.
voluntarily joined ICE in April 2025 and is proud of her work there. voluntarily became a special AUSA during ICE surge. had a meltdown in court that, while entertaining and confirmed a lot of people's priors, was revealing about her character and abilities, not in a good way. sure, run for office!
yep, and pretty much every attempt that has come after has just not compared
good lord i would rather lick tar
it would be if i did not catastrophically suck at pool!
Move over Femboy Hooters, we're eating at Transgender Chili's tonight!
The dining room starts to cheer. Then they remember Transgender Chili’s is, nevertheless, Chili’s and fall silent.
yeah i'm not going back
29 years later, this still fucking sucks
manager walks in and says "i think JK Rowling and J*sse S*ngal make some intriguing points" and gets frog-marched out the door.
honestly i sort of presume a mid-campaign reveal on that one
short shorts! no, gotta be shorter. no, i said *shorter*
I assume this is an attempt to pivot to some sweet right-wing grifting, because it cannot be a serious campaign, come on.
This is fucking terrible but I can't stop snickering about how the headline makes it sound like a manager of the Transgender Chili's was fired and hell yes would eat at the Transgender Chili's
this comes up every time people want to yell at me about druuuuuuugggggs coming in from nefarious foreigners and, buddy, none of us would have drugs without CBP.
100% this. And perhaps what I run into with the Hold Steady is that I already have Springsteen records (which I don't mean snottily - I will defend their cover of "Atlantic City" to my dying day, but more that they can feel superfluous)
Space Humpin' $19.99 is one of my faves for that reason - it's so brash
yessss. I loved Lifter Puller but the Hold Steady never clicked in the same way for me, perhaps because the former was more...angular, maybe? weirder, definitely (complimentary)
were you a Lifter Puller fan or nah?
good christ
relatively niche music skeet here, but if you're feeling bleak, you can do a lot worse than listening to the new Mary Chapin Carpenter and @themountaingoats.bsky.social cover of World Party's "Put the Message in the Box."
