Trump and His Soulless Cronies Have Managed to Suck the Joy Out of the World Cup Not even soccer is immune from Trump’s reverse Midas touch.

I wrote something @thenation.com about the 2026 Joyless World Cup. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

That all said, ABOLISH DHS!

Markwayne Mullin is even more inept, but I think that the overall position of DHS secretary has taken a big hit, and the nationwide scrutiny placed on the entire department means that they will be heavily monitored and held accountable to a degree that should have been in place to begin with.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I had a significant role in a 4 minute sketch for Michael Moore's "The Awful Truth" that was censored from the episode, thereby souring my mood for the film and TV industry at a young age.

The workout:

-5x
20 plank jack shoulder tap push ups
-5x10 toes to bar + 20 rocket push ups 


-5:x10 pull ups + 10 chest to floor burpees

No rest btwn exercises in the superset.

Today's GOP calls themselves the 'party of Lincoln,' while flying Confederate flags, defending Confederate statues & removing exhibitions about slavery. Today's GOP says it's a 'party of law & order' while covering up the Epstein files. Today's GOP 'supports the troops,' while assaulting soldiers.

Me: I feel like taking it easier today, I'll just do a bodyweight only workout...
Me (after the workout): I always underestimate the fact that bodyweight workouts are often the most exerting... #FitnessSky

America Runs on Dunkin' is far more popular of a sentiment than Make America Healthy Again. And as far as food and drug safety is concerned, I'd venture to say that iced coffee (caffeine) is a lot safer than both heroin and eating roadkill.

Their 1987 self-titled is a fine example of "punk in drublic" though.

Amen. I had a few slices of pizza and a big plate of chicken parm from my local NYC spot, I think I'm doing just fine too!

I hope this debacle of a hearing means that impeachment proceedings will ramp up in Congress! She claims to be a politician for "law and order," so when she breaks the law, she should accept responsibility, no? Anyone in support of "law and order" should be OK with seeking accountability, right?

I've always either conflated or confused Everclear and Everlast...I have to look them up to recall the difference, but I think I like(d) Everlast more, although I can only name one song by each artist...

um...minstrel songs perhaps?

They were royally screwed by MLB ownership and capitalism at large, but it's all the more reason why I'm rooting for team Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic. Team P.R. is still mighty strong. I love an underdog story, and baseball's rife with examples of miraculous events. "Ya gotta believe!"

Strange take, methinks...

Well done! 💪

Yesterday was definitely false spring, but I'm not complaining. I got to enjoy a warm sunny afternoon on the roof, practicing dragon flags. I'm holding these for at least 45 seconds each set. #FitnessSky

Always fun to hit PRs and have a short, but sweet session imo! \m/

This person is still incredibly misinformed about health and wellness, and is anti-vax to the max. But the fact that they're realizing MAHA is a grift, makes me somewhat optimistic that they might come to more informed realizations and understandings.

Good news! Someone in my social network who had been enthusiastically posting MAHA content, has recently been on a fervent disavowing campaign of RFK Jr. et al...I've been reading think pieces about cracks within the movement, but this is the first tangible example I've seen. You love to see it!

As a trained art historian, I have learned far more about Ancient Greece from @sarahebond.bsky.social than I did in four years of graduate school. This is a great expose into the contemporary bias that we sometimes apply to looking at the art of ancient cultures.

It seems like they had concepts of a plan?

Trump last year. A generic guy who sucks

The original Disneyland Trump animatronic, very clearly a hastily repurposed Hillary robot in a wig and a suit

Trump recently. He looks like shit, because that’s what he is

Disney’s new Trumpbot. It has kind of a “slaveholding founding father” vibe

The Robotic Duplicate of Dorian Gray

Has Bernie disavowed this guy yet?

"The evidence that art generates pride and participation in civic identity and pluralistic perspectives, is indeed a threat to authoritarianism." Dictators fall, but art carries on: theartsandeducation.com/2026/03/01/t...

I don't consider there to be any "winning" side of a frenzied conflict like this one; but that certainly seems like a real bad strategy!

I’ve also noticed that lately. Lotta people being like “I’ve never posted an antisemitic thing in my life!” actively posting shit that’s antisemitic. If you have a left leaning progressive Jew in your mentions saying they feel uncomfortable you should probably think real hard.
