Are we sure he’s not Denethor? He didn’t go quick in a blaze of sacrificial glory; he lingered, driven into stubborn madness by his reign’s helplessness against the shadow. He was gone before hope could arrive (the extra Wild Card spot)

if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately

Why the hell would I want to “work during the daytime“ in a society which has mandated work be done indoors under fluorescent lights?

Daylight savings time provides me with precious time after the miserable workday to actually participate in daylight.

They aren't though. He was thrown strikes at a higher rate than 93% of qualified batters last year. He is extremely skilled at extending at bats and working walks.

The problem is that's pretty much the only reliable skill he has left, outside of leadership and vibes. Which are fun and cool.

I dunno man I don’t think we should reorient our entire society around a bunch of dudes who seem to fundamentally not appreciate the wonder of human experience.

can you imagine if the establishment press treated this madness with the same scorn reserved for progressives advocating for affordable housing regulation?

Why MAGA Wants You to Think Slavery Wasn’t That Bad
Both the left and the right try to co-opt it, but the real story of American slavery doesn’t serve any one faction.

Sanitizing slavery has become a core objective of the reactionary right under Donald Trump—a malignant response to the progressive left’s oversimplification of American history for their own present-day ends.

hatred of unhoused people is genuinely a pipeline to fascism. if the wealthy can get you to dehumanize your own neighbors, then they can get you to do it to anyone.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

If our "environmental protection" frameworks can stop an affordable housing project but can't stop a detention center or a highway expansion we really need to start talk about ripping things up root and branch.

At the most fundamental level, the Trump admin is still treating peaceful protesters as the aggressors and the heavily armed government militias as the victims, even though Homan, Miller, Noem, Trump have spent months torquing them into a frenzy of hate and telling them they can act with impunity.

my 1-year old son Torbert just looked me in the eyes and told me the taunting penalty on Tariq Woolen taught him the importance of sportsmanship and placing the team's needs above his own. he no longer wants to be a Drug Dealer when he grows up, he wants to be a philanthropist/referee

HEY MEDIA: I think when pro sports teams are holding memorials for the people the administration has declared terrorists, it’s safe to drop the “accounts differ” pretense and move on to “the administration attempts to smear the man it murdered”

I’m also so fucking sick of these people calling themselves the “silent majority”. You never shut the fuck up. i have to listen to you assholes constantly. There is nothing silent about you.
