Never fear next year Trinity will be bringing it home

hey today was my day off, who wants to pls explain me about the waffles

Got surprisingly choked up this weekend watching my 4-year-old nephew see July 4 fireworks for the first time. Turns out I can report on the racism/corruption/misogyny embedded in all levels of our government AND sing God Bless the USA at a Hyatt resort while slurping a skinny coconut mojito.

Big Rom with the mercy killing

Random thought I had earlier today: When you're a kid, you feel things intensely. You are aware the world makes no sense. Loss feels huge and unbearable. Injustice hits hard. Adults can get numb and over-insulated. One task of art is to remind adults that injustice sucks and your feelings matter.

The Trump taint is just too much to overcome, folks

If you have a chance to be a problem, why would you settle for being an amateurblem

I legit blamed my (now massive) credit card debt on him, because if he can make the banks pay for his lifestyle, why shouldn't I? The USMNT have a way better justification.

Ceci n'est pas une defense

People who paint their faces/bodies for sporting events—whether college or pro or international—do they enjoy life more than those who don’t paint their faces and/or bodies?

Prior to the US-Belgium game, the cheapest listed pair of tickets on SeatGeek to see the winner play Spain in LA on Friday was $2,950. After the goal making it 3-1 there are many pairs listed below $2,000.

This feels like a good time to note that, indeed, USWNT is the winningest team in international sports history (win percentage: 84) the18.com/en/soccer-en...

Too late to get the Wu Tang Clan to perform and turn things around?

Jeeeeesus what a howler

Ruben Gallego is so funny to me

That King dude ✍️ is blocked.

It's so exciting every time there's a perfectly placed long ball and then I remember oh right he's gotta sort of stop in mid air and catch it with his foot, which he won't be able to do.

just thinking about this guy, probably out there cooking up a conspiracy theory as to why this extremely predictable outcome has arrived

we are pretty lucky that we are not down 4-1 but I don’t know how long Pulisic can stay out there, he looked washed

look I think AOC is politically quite smart but it didn’t take a genius to not throw all your weight behind the poser with a Nazi tattoo

Chile, I got sage, sweetgrass, palo santo, candles drippin’, whiskey, going to purify in the waters, might start looking for chickens, grab my drum, while I cast my conch shells. You just dunno know…

That’s right chaps

Fellow Yalies, the Yale College Council has put up a petition for us to sign to tell the university not to cave to Trump! Get on it!!! actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

USA looks like everything else Trump touches. The man truly has super powers, as he can turn any good thing into shit.

not sure, detective work, 100 percent Lou, etc.

Gotta tell yourself a little story about how it was all for the greater good. Who could have known? Win some you lose some you know. Hey man know anybody hiring for '28?

When Mavis testifies, in this song, she lifts you up and breaks your heart, all at once.

Please note that one of the reasons women show up on our borders pregnant is because, in the course of running away from terrors at home, they have been raped.

Rookie stalks unseen prey.

Good God the defending is so naive though

My niche crank opinion is that state parties are perfectly capable of holding online secret ballot statewide elections by members, but doing so would require them maintaining an active mass membership list instead of free-riding on the governmental election systems through primaries.

I hear Satan is making a call to reverse Mitch McConnell's red card

The US never scores like that! What is going on?!?

Great free kick my god

So, now the perp wants to hold the party hostage. Don’t act surprised. F^%# this s%#*. Boy, bye.

Don’t hold your breath.

Is Alito retiring? Is McConnell dead? Can the USMNT turn this around? No one knows!

Love these photos by @baycon.org staff photographer David Price of @annaleen.bsky.social and me <3

So uh any update on this?

Woeful defending from the USMNT, they’re lucky they’re not down 2

Britain’s MI6 told Keir Starmer that Trump’s second White House, “is ‘The Crucible’ meets ‘Wolf Hall,’” referencing two fictional works about the Salem Witch Trials and the court of England’s ill-tempered Henry VIII www.wsj.com/world/europe...

I would be very interested in a study on this theory

Mulling over the idea that overly online people are convinced that the Trumpist style (if not policies) will forever be ascendant because they see it everywhere on social media

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is probably shaking her head somewhere. I hope she eats a good dinner with her family and gets some decent sleep.

"An FBI sting that began in October 2023 and ended in May 2024 ensnared multiple Jackson politicians in a bribery scandal over a proposal to construct a hotel in downtown Jackson adjacent to the capital’s convention complex. "Sentencing for Lumumba, Banks and Owens is set for Oct. 15."

ME Dems have a week to get Janet Mills's name on the ballot, is what they told me in the chatcave when I stumbled in 20 minutes ago all ADURR WHUT? And even if they didn't, Lisa Murkowski won a write in vote, in this century. Vote for the thousand-year-old woman. It's important.

I don’t wish this upon her

Apples In Stereo - The Bird That You Can't See, 2000 Blissfully Stevie Wonder circa 1967: It's like the bird That you can't see But you can hear the pretty music in the tree It's like the word That you can't say But you can sing the pretty music anyway #TheN0ughtie5 NK✅JC✅SG✅ Day 31

was just at a fundraiser for the Michigan House Dems, and @slotkin.senate.gov, the keynoter, mentioned "having just okayed a post on another state's Senate race." Oh, it's probably about Mitch McConnell being braindead right? I take my Mondays off very seriously. OH SHIT.

Platner sending in his appeal to FIFA as we speak

Me, as part of the three day workweek advocacy group, every week:

2:12am .... going back for more olive

This is fucking insane, man

the man remains a prolific writer of horrors

One more mistakenly published HFO and it's a trend

the reason to believe this is that they keep saying it out loud, directly, and unambiguously

Editors beware of that publish button

the casting is, in fact, perfect. ships are launching as we speak.

There should be a wayback machine but only for pundits' posts. We can call it the dunk machine or something like that

been a minute since a mudbrain stumbled into my mentions; always better to block me than @ me lol

Warning! Do not come at me and be d--ks today. I may block people who've followed me for years. I'm underslept. Sick. Having continuing medication problems. Nothing cool to drink since Con Edison fried my refrigerator in the heat wave. You're bothering a miserable person. Do not poke the bear!

MY MUTED WORD IS NOT WORKING

the Pod Save guys and the Bernie guys have one thing in common

Fellow authors: without any context, what's the first line of your current WIP?

Mmm, do tell

the high-profile people who supported platner ignored the nazi tattoo, so a bunch of women came forward to report sketchy behavior, which they also ignored, until this woman had to come forward and tell her full story. i hope they do some reflecting on how and why they put her in that position

People are going to say “these guys are going to be forced to the Republican Party!” and, no, that’s not what is happening. Agency and choices are involved. But it’s also a good reminder that compromising core principles is not a good path to electoral success.

Hannah Pingree, the Dem nominee for #MEGov, calls on Platner to drop out

I am so mad about Platner. Well, at least Mitch McConnell is dead.

4th person shot during Trump's Memphis task force occupation

Haven’t seen any news about problematic women today, makes you think

4th person shot by feds during Trump's Memphis task force occupation

The fucked-up lesson a bunch of men on the left took away from the 2016 and 2024 elections is that a horrible rapey racist will always defeat a female candidate.

There is no compartmentalization of the abuse of power. Abusers are abusers across all facets of their lives.

Platner’s campaign may be ending but Platner Discourse will continue for months, perhaps years, and always carry with them cursed vibes

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller June 04,1956

That guy people were saying seemed problematic ended up having skeletons in his closet??? People in his corner now realizing they’re all stuck on a sinking ship??? Excuse the mixed metaphors lol

Stoller / Klippenstein sowing and then reaping

The lesson a lot of people unable to learn: No one is ever JUST a racist or a misogynist or an antisemite etc.

In my 20s, especially, when books about lesbians were rarely published and not easy to find, every new gf would get/borrow a Pat* Califia book and a Jane Rule anthology. Either gifts or they would walk off with them. (I couldn't deny people books.) *(now Patrick)

Worse than Sarah Palin, though there are probably a lot of men on the left who would disagree wit this

Today in Jeremy's salad: pumpkin leaf, romaine, hibiscus, watermelon, and cucumber

Folks, including you with HUGE accounts, please stop sharing video without sourcing, locations, or dates. We're all upset to see violence. What good does it do to share if it is decontextualized? Yesterday? A week ago? Where did it happen? For a legal case to go forward, you need all of that.

Thank god mitch mcconnell isn’t alive to see any of this
