Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

Our German supporters made us realize we made a mistake, and we want to acknowledge it. Germany, you’re in our thoughts. While we’re relieved that AfD was defeated, we understand this is not a moment for celebration. There is still much work ahead, and we stand in solidarity with you.

Me to my FIL&His bro while leaving after the halftime show: You don't know it but you just witnessed the cultural event of THE CENTURY.
My FIL: Oh, well I just enjoyed watching you guys dance!
So uninterested in anything but his family and their joy.

Let someone say something something DEI something about Kendrick Lamar. Do it. I dare you.
I am pleased that he has acknowledged the question about what it means to be Black and American with this performance, in this moment. Samuel Jackson is on point.

Trump, Vance, and Musk are pushing to rehire a staffer who resigned after being called out for a social media account with a history of racist posts. “To err is human, to forgive divine,” Elon Musk said in defense of the move. No—it’s not err; it’s racism. No excuses.

Thoughts on @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social as a bby gay and bby bball fan. I like that all of their fits seem custom. Do they get to choose their shorts style individually by comfort/personal style? I also LOVE the camera work. It feels like we're part of the sidelines during timeouts. Is that by design?
