Inject all the Case Keenum clips with his kids directly into my veins. There’s nothing quite like seeing the “old” guy share a victory with his family.

Peter Norman knew it would be weird for him to participate in a black power salute because he was a white Australian bloke, so he wore a little Olympic Project for Human Rights badge in solidarity. The way he was treated after this extremely careful, mild gesture was an utter disgrace.

I’ve really been enjoying Lanterns lately. They did a fantastic job casting the show & it’s grounded enough to not get lost in all the superhero stuff. Kyle Chandler continues to be a fantastic actor and Aaron Pierre is a rising star. Give it a watch if you need a break from <gestures at everything>

So you’re telling me that AI isn’t doing what we want it to, it’s destroying the planet, we’ve over invested in it, and the only reason we’re propping it up is bc the economy will collapse if we don’t keep dumping money into it. Coooolll…

This David French Op Ed about how we actually won the GWOT is the most rose tinted nonsense I’ve read in awhile. We fucking lost man. He completely overlooks the growth of Daesh, the proliferation of jihadist ideology, the erosion of civil liberties at home. Who approved this shit?

My cat died today and it sucks. Towards the end I had to make a phone call trying to find somewhere to cremate her remains. The mailman showed up and asked me how I was doing and I responded “Doing good, how about you?” Dear reader I was not good.

The world lost a real Saint yesterday. My aunt died after a short intense battle with cancer. A woman who despite suffering unspeakable tragedies in her life always found room to comfort others. As a psychiatrist and guidance counselor she served the community of NW Wisconsin with grace and love.

The question is: why did Natalie Harp resist applying for a security clearance? What doesn't she want anyone to find out? www.ms.now/news/trump-a...
ms.now
Trump aide Natalie Harp worked at the White House without security clearance for a year
The close aide to the president, known to filter much of the information reaching the commander-in-chief, ultimately relented in recent months after pressure from White House staff.

Daredevil can be such a frustrating show. They have an absolutely incredible cast and the writing can just kill it (the Punisher and Daredevil scene in season 1). The execution can just be so disjointed though. It’s a microcosm of the Marvel universe writ large.

"Now we’re stuck in a conflict that literally no one believes in—not the people waging it, not the people defending it, not the people fighting it. And soon the time will come to rip away, yet again, our comfortable illusions about ourselves. Maybe this is who we are."

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

I cannot recommend @juliaioffe.bsky.social ‘s book Motherland strongly enough. The chapter “Gasoline” is harrowing and should serve as a warning for America. There’s a reason the right loves Russia so much. They love the paternalism, violence, and religiosity of Russia and want an American version.

"Platner offered a blue-tinted, ideologically acceptable variation on old misogynistic themes with something for everyone: anti-Israel leftists, liberals looking for the next charisma god, feminists desperate to get Collins out, DSA types who wanted a big strong man to take on the 'Epstein class'…"

One of the weirdest things about adulthood is being able to openly enjoy all the nerdy stuff I repressed as a teen. Star Wars, Star Trek, WW2 books all absolutely cool now. Teenage me: man what I wouldn’t give to meet a girl who wants to watch TNG.

I was genuinely moved by the GWOT Memorial design. The footprints portion actually brought tears to my eyes. Maybe that says more about me than the design. I found it interesting and beautiful in ways I didn’t expect.

The thing that’s most getting under my skin about Platner is his continued use of PTSD as a get out of jail free card for bad behavior. You can 100% be a POS as a younger person and it has nothing to do with being a vet.

further evidence for my "everything is war, thanks to GWOT" thesis. when a society engages in a war without meaning and without broad participation, they first sanctify sacrifice and then began to broaden the scope of what it means to sacrifice.

How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler? Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island. Can’t make this stuff up.
