Some people truly care about not being told that they are wrong WAY more than they care about anything else (including whether they ARE wrong). It's both astounding and depressing to watch
Oficially, the Green Bay Packers are the most succesful regular season franchise in the #NFL with a .572 win% (819-611-39)
But in truth, the most succesful organizations is the Baltimore Ravens
While they sit at an impresive #3 at .570 (just behind Dallas at 5.71), that's only 1996-2025...

Colston Lovealnd missed most of training camp and was eased into the offense. His LAST 8 games, he had 42/518/3 (111.8 PPR)

My main opinion on Graham Platner is if there was a 41 year old guy running in the Republican primary for the Maine Senate seat and it turned out that he had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years and then he claimed that he just didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo, none of you would ever stop screaming about it.

Taking an anti-vaccination stances against a treatment that saves the life of ONE IN FIVE HUNDRED KIDS and has no verified deaths involving healthy recipients is not just anti-science and anti-logic, it's evil. I have studied this disease too extensively to soften that word.
It's just evil.

Great accomplishment by @councilofgeeks.bsky.social but that number needs to be higher!
Excelent pop culture analysis with strong, thoughtfully explained opinions by a gender-fluid creator sounds to me like something that many on this platform would enjoy

As a current public defender, for over a decade, I cosign everything here.
We absolutely have a two-tier justice system. I've had clients convicted of non-violent misdemeanors get more jail time than dozens of people in the Epstein files.

As a former public defender who represented thousands of people, I can’t stop thinking about the contrast the Epstein files raise.
I watched 1000s face swift, devastating punishment for far less serious conduct — poor, marginalized, & presumed dangerous from the start.

MAGA spends all its energy policing bathrooms and drag queens while ignoring the predators in its own ranks. Robert Medcalf’s arrest for infant molestation is a grim reminder: the threat isn't the person in the wig; it's often the one in the red hat.

props to sir superhero for a cogent overview of a contradictory history, including sussing out a rather large plot hole before also proposing a solution … excellent work, only quibble the missing context, at 25 years remove, that the first Bloodstone mini was a transparent attempt at Marvel’s Buffy.

I think the biggest misunderstanding of politics comes from people who think that a vote is a favor you do for a politician that they must earn in some way.
A vote is not a favor to a politician. You are voting to make the choice that will help your community the most/hurt it the least.

Like I'm literally pleading with you: stop falling for bullshit.
The truth is bad enough and you are doing a massive disservice to victims (and also undermining future justice) by repeating bullshit as if what happened to them isn't enough for you.

There are hundreds of victims' interviews and depositions in these files, many under oath, many under conditions where lying is a felony.
The truth is bad enough. It doesn't need to be any worse than the truth. Stop trying to make it worse.

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Honestly, it has to be a weird time to be a figure in pop culture due the president being Literally The Worst. Like, Elmo can say sharing is good and somebody in his X mentions will say “Elmo, you rotten son of a bitch. This goes against everything President Trump stands for.” And that’s not wrong.
