This black and white photo shows a clean-shaven man, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, sitting at a desk and wearing a suit. He holds a paper in his right hand and appears to be speaking into a microphone that sits on the desk.

Never forget that Meathead Hunk was brought into the LiMu universe to torment Doug, and Biberty brought in to incorporate and eternalize Meathead Hunk’s lowest moment. All life under LiMu is pain; to kill a LiMu character is to end the suffering of two beings and distract from your own.

It was about midnight when they noticed Limu was out of his cage and it was an hour after when they found him with his beak stained red and eyes glossy and distant beyond his own sight with flecks of yellow fur and death. Biberty was an affront to god and man but he didn't deserve this, the man said

This is why imperial collapses can often seem extraordinarily sudden: They come as the culmination of decades of undermining the institutions, relationships, and structures that keep states functioning. A jenga tower can stand with missing blocks until it's given a tiny push.

Trump and his allies have spent most of the past decade doing the administrative equivalent of ripping bundles of wiring out of the walls. When everything's trundling along, you don't necessarily notice the missing wiring. When something goes very wrong, suddenly the damage becomes apparent.

for all the crowing about how asking people to not use slurs and to call people the right pronouns is "just like 1984!!!", the rise of terms like "unalive" is a hell of a lot closer to Orwell's depiction of Newspeak imo

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.

The Trump administration says none of this is happening.

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children."

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

The press will do stories on Republican sex creeps, but it will never, ever point out -- much less make an ongoing narrative out of -- the fact that the GOP has been *ridden* with sex creeps for decades. You have to be blind not to see the pattern.

I'll be honest, after all the bullpen games so far, it's kinda refreshing to see a starting pitcher just absolutely dominate and go the distance. I'd...prefer if it wasn't against the team I'm root root rooting for lol, but just as a baseball fan, it's been a while since I've seen this.

a lot of southern soul (Clarence Carter, Percy Mayfield, Al Green, Otis Redding, Bobby Bland...) might just as well be country. George Jones could really be soul music. the difference is more about marketing than anything else.

one thing I hope people think about with this piece I guess is that country music looks a lot different if you acknowledge Black contributions and think about the way that a lot of stuff that could be country isn't just because it's by Black people. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/there-are-...

This is tracking to go down as the most lopsided Wild Card Series in history. No team has ever been outscored by more than 10 runs in the best-of-three format. In the bottom of the seventh, the Yankees have outscored the Red Sox, 18-2, over these two games.

Yankees are only carrying 10 pitchers right now. Far from running out of arms, they're blowing the Red Sox out of the water right now, having only used five of their available pitchers. Some incredibly intelligent and sexually magnetic man wrote about this recently
