With the exception of episode 8 which I call the “the speech episode” or the Digger episode for shot (iykyk) I thoroughly enjoyed this season of Ted Lasso

PROMOs 10 year plan is to create a pro-trans majority in Republican dominated Missouri. Is that even possible? How are they doing it? Our EIC @evanurquhart went to St. Louis to find out. Here's his story: assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

I saw it. I didn’t enjoy it. It had its moments. It’s smart. But it’s also alienating, pompous, long, and abstract. It’s funny that critics hate it, but some audience members are going to bat for it. We live in an upside down world

last night, 13 Brooklyn Dems leaders held a meeting and claim they elected a new chair how many ways was this illegal? -RBH is not the party leader, Nydia Velazquez is -the majority of "voters" at this meeting are not elected DLs -there is a specific order enjoining against holding an ExCo meeting

The former chair of the BK Dems is trying to call a meeting at 10pm tonight to pick a new chair, in defiance of a judge’s order and using rules that the court struck down. No one should attend this meeting. Democrats respect the results of elections and the rule of law.

i am having trouble articulating this but a system that excuses gang rape as a youthful error on behalf of college men with ~ bright futures ~ does so because it is served by producing older men who are comfortable with, even enthusiastic about, torturing people at the system's behest

#Tennis legend Althea Gibson died #OTD in 2003. * First Black player to win a Grand Slam title (1956) & #Wimbledon (1957) * Female Athlete of the Year (AP), 1957 & 1958 * 11 Grand Slam wins * First Black woman to compete on the LPGA Tour, 1964 #SportsHistory
A composite black-and-white image features two historic photographs of Althea Neale Gibson (1927–2003), the trailblazing Black athlete who helped shatter racial barriers in professional sports. On the left, an action shot captures Gibson mid-match on a grass tennis court, charging forward with fierce intensity and physical prowess. She wears a classic, pristine white tennis dress with a pleated skirt billowing around her legs, paired with matching white socks and tennis shoes. Her face is focused in deep concentration as she extends her right arm back, gripping her racket tightly while her left arm balances her athletic frame. An out-of-focus crowd fills the stands in the background. On the right, a triumphant celebration portrait shows Gibson holding the iconic Venus Rosewater Dish after her historic victory at Wimbledon. Shrouded in a heavy white collared track jacket or robe, she beams with an enthusiastic, wide-toothed smile, her short, naturally textured hair neatly styled. In her left hand, she holds a massive, intricately detailed circular silver trophy plate facing the camera, while a massive, vibrant bouquet of celebratory flowers stands at her right hip. An older woman in a wide-brimmed hat smiles warmly from just behind her left shoulder amidst a blurring crowd. The overall mood shifts dynamically from intense, powerful athletic determination to proud, historic joy. This poignant layout encapsulates her barrier-breaking journey to becoming the first Black athlete to win a Grand Slam title.

Do you have evidence the Republican Party is comprised of the petty bourgeoisie? In 2024, college grads backed Kamala by double digits. My assumption, as backed by that stat, would prove the opposite. Dems are the petit bourgeoisie. Only 14% of americans own a small business. 36% have a degree.

So, just out of curiosity, if the republican party organizes an event and a bunch of republicans show up, do you think in the process of talking, they would realize they disagree with trump’s policies and build class consciousness? If no, why would something different happen at a democrat event?

Oooh you disagree with someone else’s interpretation so I must not have read him. The dude I responded to literally said there’s so many interpretations. If people want a political party, esp one not dedicated to worker’s rights, to be a secular church it’s the opium of the masses. Was that Marx?
