The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.

one of the most important things you have to learn as a parent is that your children are their own people and some parents actively refuse this lesson their children are more than entitled to leave those parents behind

yeah man people online will form mobs to harass each other at the drop of a hat. Hey which side actually integrated that into their sanctioned political activity and promoted some of the ringleaders to government?

literally 100% of the bad things about "woke 1" are just shit that sucks about social media. if you're complaining about "Woke" and not Gamergate, it's because you're a disingenuous prick.

They were too stupid to understand the source of American hegemony and memed each other into thinking they lived in a failed state because there wasn't enough bravado in our imperialism. Took less than a year to wreck the whole edifice. Incredible

I saw the same thing with my hobby aviation photography IG account the other day too and was confused! Definitely need an explanation for that.

It’s completely nuts that Trump won by less than 2M votes with near universal media help and worldwide rage at incumbents and the media treated this like a permanent sea change towards MAGA and now less than 2 years later he’s the least popular President in history and there’s no media reckoning

As the owner of several AMC theater franchises, you can imagine I'm extremely left wing. But I bet you didn't realize I'm so left wing that I'm willing to bleed thousands of dollars every time I show the Odyssey to an empty IMAX theater to create the impression that a black actress is pretty.

so important to understand that it’s perfectly normal to be frustrated with a crying baby, you just need to have the emotional maturity to realize that negatively reacting would be insane

Each of the last 3 losses were disappointing in a totally new way each night. This is giving late 2021 vibes.

I am part of the naive delusional "it ain't over until they're mathematically eliminated" category of Padres fan, and even I'm struggling after the last month. At least for the first 50 games, the starters were serviceable and if we held a lead after 6, it was over. Now there isn't even that 🤷‍♂️

lows in order to appreciate the best highs (City finally winning the CL in 2023, or the Padres eventually finally winning a World Series).

early to watch weekly matches like I did the NFL. I remember the true turning point was the 2019 Champions League, when City were eliminated by Tottenham in the quarterfinals and it felt exactly like Chargers losses had for so long. That's the funny irony. It really IS about experiencing the worst

Alex McKnight @alexnmcknight.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
It's probably a little different because I switched to Premier League football as a deliberate emotional substitute for my 25 year NFL fandom after the Chargers left San Diego in 2016, but sometimes it just takes some time/momentum. I began following Manchester City full time in 2017, even waking up

... I couldn't get out of work obligations and arrived to the locale at 3am and slept in for hours after her day had begun. She had as much fun as I did, but just a totally different level of stress and logistics between the two of us, despite being equally important to the wedding.

Experienced this exact situation recently where both of us were in the wedding party. We groomsmen didn't even begin getting ready until well after lunch for a 4pm ceremony, meanwhile my wife had to leave the hotel at 7:30am for a slew of bridesmaid activities. She had to arrive 2 days beforehand,

My cope before this week has been "if the Padres have been keeping up the Dodgers with none of their stars hitting, wait till they (un)regress to the mean." I mean, Tatis can't actually go a whole season without a home run, right? Machado and Merrill can't possibly stay under .200 forever, right?

one of the funniest things about Trump is his absolute disloyalty to everyone, no matter how much they have debased themselves to curry his favor. it doesn't matter what they do for him. he's perpetually 30 seconds away from tossing them under a bus and giving them a bitchy nickname on the news

the way people have absolutely zero principles genuinely disturbs me. they believe nothing and will say anything that brings them their next paycheck. this is no way to live. it’s disgusting. i do not understand how this isn’t a bot and an actual real human being

At the present moment I am not interested in anything politically beyond the destruction of the Republican Party as a viable political force. If we don't break the back of the conservative movement nothing else really matters. Whatever good shit you want to do won't happen.

As a Padres/Mets fan who lives in LA, I used to pay the $130/year for mlb.tv anyway because I'll watch pretty much all 162 games and felt that price was worth it as it is. Then Sprint merged with T-Mobile and it was like Christmas for me!

If you’re not white, or you have friends or loved ones who aren’t white, or you’re not a total sociopath and therefore care about fellow humans who aren’t white, you need to understand this regime thinks not being white is inherently suspect, and lots of your fellow Americans are fine with that.

The KKK of the 1920s is probably the most American organization to have ever existed; a for-profit fraternal organization, a multi-level marketing scheme founded by a defrocked minister to piggyback off of a popular movie, eventually torn apart by internecine infighting and a national sex scandal.
