This Tampa outdoor hockey game is deranged in every conceivable way. There shouldn't be hockey in Florida at all. There definitely shouldn't be outdoor hockey in Florida. But I'm glad they decided to do it all in this extremely low-rent pirate dinner show theme, because what is Florida if not that

love when there’s a newspaper profile of some psychopath that points out they allow themselves “a lone vice, like a single cup of black coffee in the morning.” personally I am a bundle of trash glued together by vices. they’re all load-bearing

The possible deal in the article is “DHS is split off of the other funding bills,” which should be read as Trump caving and signaling to congressional republicans that they should too.

As the son of a real, dyed in the wool Bigfoot Guy, I know all the purest grade Bigfoot Theories written in obscure pseudo-academic journals for decades. And I must say the most compelling Bigfoot Theory is that it's an interdimensional being. In other words, a demon... or, as I prefer, an angel.

Funny thing is the worldview of Harry Potter is unabashedly Ulbrichtist. The wizarding world bears all the hallmarks of the GDR, with everyone employed as a corrupt bureaucrat, secret policeman, or state-sponsored storeowner. There are show trials. Wizards systematically oppress other sentient races
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

Welcome to the AFC Championship Game in Denver.
Alex Pretti and Renee Good should be alive today. 5-year-old Liam Ramos should not be in a detention center today. And our government should never, on any day, use children as bait.

These were legitimately excellent historical exhibits that also happened to be the only thing you could read while waiting in line to kiss the Liberty Bell or whatever you do with it
Crews today dismantled plaques telling the stories of enslaved people who lived in the President's House in Philadelphia following orders by President Trump and Interior Secretary Burgum to remove content at national parks that “inappropriately disparage” the US. 6abc.com/post/philade...

After becoming world-class mini gaming convention, Nova Open in DC imploded because they forced out board members — including the one responsible for its ascension — because some far right losers threw a fit because a diorama with rainbow Space Marines beating up Nazis won the fan favorite art vote
