I like how Casty looks like Ray Liotta in the helicopter scene in Goodfellas whenever a routine long fly ball is hit in his direction. "oh jesus oh fuck is that a ball holy shit"

One of the more worrying developments in education that isn't necessarily academics related is that schools have basically eliminated Halloween, a secular cultural holiday, for fear of offending Muslims. This has already happened more obliquely with Christmas but damn... it hurts more every year

There is no line of scripture that can bring Marco Rubio comfort. For the rest of his life he will be haunted by the fact that he will not be welcomed to the kingdom

Anthea Butler @antheabutler.bsky.social · 23h

I'm not a quoter of scripture, but this seemed appropriate for the horror that has been unleashed because of the gutting of USAID.

“Whatever you do to the least of these, you do to me.” -Jesus

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

It's wild how Jan 6 proves that Republicans are, to a man, cowards and submentaloids. The one single time they did the thing they darkly intoned about for two decades they either put the blame on someone else or say they were dumb enough to be tricked by those darn Antifas. A Confederacy of Pussies

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 12h

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

we have to get real about it. we're being too abstract. the thing is going to happen. people need to be in the right places, and need to have the right resources, to respond when it does. it's going to fall on us.

this administration is going to murder a lot of americans. it's going to be perhaps the most catastrophic official act by the government in american history. they are preparing for it. it's going to be their justification to attempt to stall elections.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

Seconded. You know how running backs hit 29 and their legs fall off? Unless you have a stem cell guy and are boofing RFK Jr amounts of TRT your pickup abilities drop like a boulder. Even if I play a good game I am suddenly aware that all my bones hurt afterward. And your knee cartilage? Gone bitch

When you play basketball one day and you're 32 years old, then there's a pandemic that prohibits you from playing basketball again until you're 35 years old, do not assume you will be able to move laterally the same way three years later when you play in a park against teenagers.

90's political correctness was so much better than Woke Era political correctness on every front. 90's political correctness was so focused on specialness and Woke Era political correctness was so focused on like... Race essentialism and neo liberal original sin. We have to go back

If young people tell you something you didn’t think was offensive is actually offensive, you’re wrong and they’re right.

That movie/show/etc. you thought was brilliant, but you haven’t revisited it in 10-20+ years? Put an asterisk on that praise whenever you recommend it. It might not hold up.
