I knew I love Fernando Botero because he created a whole alternate world in the most intricate possible way. But I’m just now realizing I love him more bc Pablo Escobar doesn’t get to live in that world: he only gets to die in it.

“Kill them all” is basically a gangster saying “leave no witnesses.”

Problem is the people who heard you say that are not fellow gangsters and will rush to cooperate enthusiastically.

If your “understanding of recent history” is that Trump got shot in the ear and magically dodged a random assassin’s bullet you are too stupid to live.

Airlines should do this the same way cruise ships do. Hire a ‘captain’ to go be nice and affable at the gate for 5 minutes. They go down to “do the walkaround” and pop back up at the next gate.

When Twitter started revealing locations the people who really suffered were the ones with 📍NYC/Miami in bio who got busted being in Boca or Massapequa.

In 2019 they changed it again to “Move fast and wear perv glasses.”
Let’s talk about “Move fast and break things.” First of all, Facebook itself changed its motto to “Move fast with stable infrastructure” in 2014. So much for breaking things, at least if you’re a soulless corporate behemoth.

The reason people don’t like tourists is mostly because tourists are straight up having a better time than locals almost always. Be happy you’re on the winning end of that!

Shameful it’s only 23 this was just naked corruption.
Twenty-three congressional Democrats — including two fellow members from Illinois — joined with Republicans on Tuesday in favor of a resolution admonishing U.S. Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García for using old-school tactics to clear the way for his own successor.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

You can play baseball all year long and many players do and the only reason MLB ends is because it’s too damn cold to sell tickets.
early WBC discourse is about whether ohtani and yamamoto should sit it out so they can be rested for the regular season. to which i say: it's insane on a superteam like the dodgers to skip an event like the olympics or world baseball classic so you can be fresh for april baseball

SHIP OF THESEUS TOUR.
This is kind of wild. Despite previously mounting farewell tours, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner will play the new Shakopee amphitheater in August.

Thing is, neither (cover) band has *any* original members left. LS still has Ronnie's little brother up front, but Foreigner's lead singer is new.
Despite no original members, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner will tour in 2026
The pair of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame acts look more like cover bands these days. Tickets go on sale Friday.

So @50501movement.bsky.social is circulating a video of a guy saying candidates "are being paid to be Israel first, to be loyal to the Zionist project and not to their constituents, not to the American people." Which is just a hairs breadth away from saying "Zionist Occupied Government." Not great!

Remember when Harvey Weinstein suddenly became frail and infirm in a desperate attempt to gain sympathy?
I wonder when Trump and MAGA make the pivot from "healthiest President to ever live" to "shame on you for harassing this frail senior citizen! Dems hate the elderly!!!"
