So the DOD started laser testing because they believed party balloons were drones, shut down all of El Paso airspace, and blamed it on Mexican cartels?

A Christian state that prioritizes penal substitutionary atonement theory will understand, prioritize, & justify itself as the administrator of its own penal state. A militarized police state with expansive incarceration/detention is the arm of its judging God.

An actual Antichrist would unveil himself as the second coming, resolve the contract to Yes, and make bank. (He’d have better ways to make money of course. He’s the Antichrist. But he’d absolutely pick up the free money first.)

Watching NYC-era Pirlo not even try to defend on corners was a sicko’s delight.
So it sounds like James is still incredible on the ball, plays a little deeper than he used to, doesn't defend and makes the slowest guy in the league look like prime Kante

Arthur Freed. There’s no more purely joyful filmography, but it’s got that not-even-hidden thread of abuse that I can’t unsee.
Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

If you're calling your competiton a "cup" then you need to be able to drink out of the trophy, I'm sorry but those are the rules. Vases are vases, plates are plates, shields are shields, cups should be cups.
🏆 NEWS: FIFA has unveiled what the new trophy will look like for the inaugural Women's Champions Cup.
All 6 FIFA confederations feature on the shield-like circular piece of golden 'silverware'.

It would be easier to deal with giant spiders in a way, because you can point at ‘em, but the underlying obstacles remain and (some of) the forces pushing for climate change are at least as identifiable as a giant spider
I am greatly enjoying Dead Hand Rule by @maxgladstone.bsky.social , which dares to ask "what if climate change was spiders"

We always called it the Sanitary District Canal. When it ran low in summer, you could smell the buildup of crud on low-lying trees. Its cleanup has been huge. There are even beavers!

Janet on “The Good Place”

I haven’t seen “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” in over twenty years, so it may not hold up, but I found Bernadette’s story the most compelling thread of the film

What trans characters created by cis artists do you like? I can't think of many, but a few I would name are:
• Ludovic from Ma vie en rose
• Kitten from Breakfast on Pluto
• Denise Bryson from Twin Peaks
• Claire Augustus from Questionable Content

As in the USA, the most dangerous hard-right tendencies in Ireland are those within the parties of gov’t.
I think it's really funny that a good chunk of political commentators are in love with Jim because he is attacking migrantd, and his way of saying thank you, because he's a lunatic extremist, is authorising himself to seize their phones
‘Sinister’: Serious concerns raised about Bill allowing gardaí to seize journalists’ phones
Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan has been urged to urgently clarify the details of the proposed law.

After our first visit to Ireland in 2019 my spouse was listening to RTE1, like you do. A newsreader casually said “And now for the dark soap opera that is the United States of America.” Grateful for a news environment that’s capable of telling it like it is sometimes.
Watching this coverage on the BBC and it’s wild to actually see people talking direct shit about Trump in ways you never ever see on US news. It’s like 5% as pointed as it should be but it’s more than you ever see at home.

when Jacques Lacan said, "Desire full stop is always the desire of the Other", meaning that desire is premised on the attainment of an impossible object, a wholeness which can never be achieved, he was actually talking about sports fans

A large part of this is the unending (and forever unfulfilled) desire to have your rival’s “respect.”
