when my mom was very young, her house got hit by a flood that hit San Antonio.

the Salvation Army wouldn’t let them stay in their shelter unless my grandfather signed a declaration that their home being flooded was Gd’s punishment for their sins.

fuck the Salvation Army.

“They disrespected the fans!” is one of the most ignorant criticisms out there and it’s never going to be treated as legitimate.

You can dislike something. You can hate it. But if you say, “This story disrespected ME” just because you, as a matter of personal taste, didn’t like it..

Three people protesting outside the Portland, OR ICE facility, dressed in inflatable frog costumes, holding a small sign that says “Portland Frog Brigade”.

Over top of the photo is white text reading: “Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."”

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

It always looks silly from these guys but this basic logic where the most marginalized people are actually elites representing “the machine” is also the shared understanding people running newsrooms and universities believe as well.

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 9h

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

This is part of why I like the regular season extra runner because .. in theory, extra inning games that go on very long sounds fun, but in practice, they all just start to look like *this.*

And as a Tigers fan, I will say this:

Offer Skubal 10 years, $425-450m this offseason. If he doesn’t take it, trade him before the season. Have to get the most you can get for him, can’t walk away for nothing after 2026 and you won’t be able to get anything good for him at the deadline
