It's interesting how the justifications for starting a tariff war and starting all these military wars have been so similar: the world has been conspiring against us for years, they treat us with disrespect, it was insufferable, etc. It's like America is a paranoid jealous husband.
Dispatches from Minnesota: I can't even find words for how royally fucked everything coming out of our federal administration is. It feels like they're engaging in war crimes abroad to distract from the war they're waging against their own citizens.

Hummingbirds share many characteristics, but some take them to extremes: the largest & the smallest, the longest & the oddest bill, the largest & the flashiest tail, the rarest, the fastest, & more.

NSW's statement; cup cakes on 'Harmony Day' says it all really
Tell us again why Australia marks 'Harmony Day' instead of the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination?
hey me and my buddies are going to watch some shadows on the wall and fight about what they mean for when the light goes out in six months. You want to come, it's gonna be great, we're gonna have inference, insinuation, absolutely no first-hand experience. C'mon down, it's a hoot in a holler.
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
this year in canada and the us, international women’s day is only 23 hours long, and wow what a symbolic statement that makes
GOOD.

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...
McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.
Not surprisingly, Laos was one of the first countries to sign the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which prohibits all use, stockpiling, production and transfer of them. Australia is a party to the agreement. The US, Israel, Russia and Ukraine are not. mnth.ly/Rn7VJha

Fenrir sounds a bit kkkross about something
Ryan Coogler is insane.
Fruitvale Station: $17 million
Creed: $170 million
Black Panther: $1.3 billion
Wakanda Forever: $840 million
Sinners: $370 million
That kind of run is impossible. Like, it just doesn't happen. Dude is 39.
the way that audience gave Michael B Jordan that standing ovation when he won Best Actor shows that they know what the rest of us do:
Sinners was THE movie and they deserve their dues.
when he dedicated his award to Chadwick, I teared up. he would be so proud of him 🥺🥺🥺
If you have not watched Sinners, watch it. It is the perfect movie. Acting, consumes, settings, story. If you know something about the history of the blues, or know about or live the Black American experience, it is even more satisfying.
Favorite scenes: any with Delroy Lindo in them.
