Being a sixteen-year-old girl sitting in the back of a church listening to an anti-abortion rant from a celibate priest. I was kind of playing along up to that point but it revolted me that he had the audacity to think his opinion on this was relevant to anyone.

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

The entire Democratic strategy debate β€” "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? β€” is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life β€” years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable β€” rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice

I'm not entirely sure how they did it, but they've completely cleared the streets around my office in Midtown #NYC.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

I’m bummed about US men’s hockey, y’all. I understand this is like being bummed about a leopard having spots. But still.

I just keep coming back to how every word uttered by Omar and Tlaib are carefully scrutinized for the least charitable interpretation purely because of their ethnicities and religion, to the point of members of their own party joining in those efforts, but here's this white boy with a totenkopf

Ok fine. They did it for Johnny Gaudreau.

DOGE Bro’s Grant Review Process Was Literally Just Asking ChatGPT β€˜Is ThisΒ DEI?’ Federal grants that had been approved after a full application and review process were terminated by some random inexperienced DOGE bros based on whether ChatGPT could explainβ€”in under 120 charactersβ€”that they were "related to DEI." That's what the newly released proposed amended complaint from the Authors Guild against the US government reveals about how DOGE actually decided which National Endowment for the Humanities grants to kill.

what I want people to feel, when they look at South Korea and the UK and Brazil holding elites accountable, is that it's possible here too. Elect true leaders this year and in 28, empowered - but also driven by us, the people - to hold the criminals accountable for their crimes. It's possible.

The neat thing about embracing class-based internationalism is that … well, billionaires already have.

Yeah, the beer wasn't the point, he did it to embarrass the manager who he thought had zero right to do anything with him because the manager never played the game.

Man, the Gelb Castellanos article is a huge bummer. Yes, we knew or suspected most of this, but it still sucks to learn it was even worse than you thought. And you get the sense his shitty attitude held him back on the field as well as off.

Agreed. The article removes all doubt about whether the Phillies could’ve repaired the relationship, why they didn’t keep him as a platoon player, etc. WIP will still try to turn it into a dumb debate but there’s no juice there. Phillies did the right thing.

They really gotta bulldoze the Ben Simmons/Castellanos mansion, it’s really not working out. Bad vibes or something not right going on there

The most-viewed TV program in U.S. history is still the Eagles going belt-to-ass on the Chiefs? Sad!
