WTF is going on with Bluesky? I've easily seen half a dozen posts trashing Kamala Harris from alleged progressives. Are the bots from Twitter never to be known as X invading us?

everyone's making fun of this but listen i've been to some live WWE events and i think there's a great opportunity there to promote better masculine hygiene
"Dominik Mysterio, known for his rebellious in-ring persona and cultural resonance, will participate in a first-of-its-kind integration in which his signature gear will feature DUDE Wipes branding during every in-ring appearance on WWE programming, including Monday Night Raw and various PLEs"

Incredible commentary from this Swiss announcer, who accurately characterizes the Israeli team as "Self-defined zionist to the core...who posted several messages in favour of the genocide in Gaza...calling it ‘the most morally just war in history.’”
Solidarity to a real one.

I worked on his campaign in MI in 1988. When he trounced Dukakis there, the Democratic Party went into a panic and did a full-court press to stop Jackson. I remember they got Anthony Lewis, the NYT's token liberal columnist, to write a "shut-up" and eat your Dukakis piece.
" But his campaigns for president in 1984 and 1988 helped create the image of what the modern Democratic Party seeks to be but rarely seems to achieve: a multiracial coalition of voters dedicated to economic fairness." RIP Jesse Jackson.

Putting a marker down that "Eddington" is going to be the "Do the Right Thing" of our time, this movie snubbed by the Oscars that decades later everyone agrees captured the zeitgeist better than anything else
Small towns often are known for their quirky, insular intrigue, but the drama unfolding in Purcellville, a Virginia exurb that’s a 50-mile drive west of Washington, is a brass-knuckled version of quaint.
‘Us versus them’: The battle that’s tearing a small Virginia town apart
The drama in Purcellville, Virginia, involves a town council contingent that calls itself “Team Mayberry,” felony charges, lawsuits and an attempted citizen revolt.

It's not hard to fall for a waitress
When you both smoke the same cigarettes
You'll get seated as diners and lovers
She'll get the check as friends for the better
You'll carve your names into the Paupack cliffs
Just to read them when you get old enough to know
That happiness is just a moment
When you both smoke the same cigarettes
You'll get seated as diners and lovers
She'll get the check as friends for the better

they're already well past the Olympic record for minutes between goals allowed and that record is still climbing
man I just realized Team USA is all the way at the semifinals and this is the only goal they've allowed so far
Czechia scores against Team USA on my favorite type of hockey goal—the one where you pass ahead to a player at the exact moment they get out of the penalty box and get a free breakaway
