Former Californian and former Oakland A's fan. Now Nueva Mexicana and Isotopes fan. Hope is a discipline and not a replacement for action. "It's stupider than you think" is my affirmation for most of what 2025 USA will be like.
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

I know it's not as horrific as a tan suit, but the President of the United States wore a fucking ball cap to honor the return of the remains of U.S. soldiers killed in battle. That happened.
Class will always out.
I don’t see how you can look at the infernos raging in Tehran right now and say we’re just trying to do right by the Iranian people.
Thank you!
Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.
Ah didn't go down far enough. Thank you sir. Enjoy the race.
Thanks! Not finding it but I am learning navigation for apple TV.
Where can I watch Martin Brundle's pre race grid walk? Apple TV doesn't seem to list any pre race stuff?
Why not?
Markwayne is actually a noble title, and is the Oklahoma equivalent to "Marquis," and may be passed on at the same time your father gives you his car dealership
Misquoting Orwell is the perfect end to her tenure
And Republicans got angry with Michelle Obama for stepping outside her lane by having a vegetable garden. We are, truly, living in the stupidest of times. . .
“People who have looked at a map” continue their three-millennia-long streak of tomahawk dunking on “People who don’t look at maps”
A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty
All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

From my essay, "The plan is to have no plan." May 2020. pressthink.org/2020/05/the-...
It's more obvious when they use bombs, but it really should be stressed that this administration had already killed well over 400,000 children and 200,000 adults before they even started using their military.
The scale of death here is difficult to wrap your head around.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.
From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.
A long time ago, I used to know a lot about foreign-imposed regime change (FIRC) and study them.
I guess that makes me qualified to write a thread about them, especially in wake of Trump bombing Iran.
So here goes nothing. 🧵
It’s not supporting the troops to send them off to kill and die in an illegal war of aggression whose purpose is to make sure that their votes don’t count.
stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could actually hold *white people* to the same standards as are always expected of Black people?
Sometimes my wife asks me why instead of seeing movies like Terminator or Black Mirror as a cautionary tales, tech companies are actually trying to build that future?
That's when I tell her it's worse because Skynet never referred to itself as "MechaHitler" before being given access to nukes.
Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.
JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.
This is well worth your time. (This is real and it is happening.)
I was gonna pull out some quotes, but you should read the whole thing. (I'd say most of this isn't new to us in Minnesota but I find it helpful to see how others frame it and again, to get confirmation we aren't exaggerating.)
This seems like an incredible athletic feat and I guess it hardly mattered to NBC
Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!
