the idea that freedom is in our DNA is just a misinterpretation of the fact that we’re a nation of finicky whiners who don’t like to be personally inconvenienced

The Ass is the father of the legs @internethippo.bsky.social · 1d

At least we no longer have to hear about freedom being in Americans' DNA or whatever. Turns out we love to eat shit and bow to some bloated halfwit like any other people throughout history

the inverse of this is how much of politics is now just accepting that you have to vote for people who hate you, so your best option is to vote for people who hate other people more than they hate you

I think the main refreshing thing about Mamdani, for me, is that he actually likes New York City and wants to see it thrive for everyone.

Every single year.
Every single year, scientists discover that dogs are better for us than we ever knew before and and I don’t think we’re ever going to stop discovering how awesome dogs are for human beings

The Independent @the-independent.com · 1d

Research suggests that dogs might have a deeper and more biologically complex effect on humans than scientists previously believed

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Might feel like an inversion of the Civil War, but less than you might think. The federal government was thoroughly in the hands of the Slave Power in the 1850s. States resisted the Fugitive Slave Act; Dred Scott was SCOTUS. Secession happened b/c they wouldn't accept losing that control in 1860.

happy football season, quick reminder that sportsbooks win about 3% of your money on straight football bets, but almost 20% on parlays and same-game parlays.

which is why they have all the ads for those and not regular bets

(info via NJ Dept. of Gaming Enforcement monthly report, July 2025)

YTD win rates
football: 3.4%
basketball: 3.7%
baseball: 4.8%
other: 6.8%
parlay: 19.6%

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”
