I am once again reaching for the poem

(Fck The Beliefs, @saulwilliams.bsky.social )
They convene regularly with the thought security council and act according to their constitution of what is real or unreal, possible or impossible, and they are sometimes and often mistaken. MY question is: What is your mind's immigration policy? Do you detain foreign thoughts that may have entered your mind illegally

See how quickly who qualifies as white and who benefits from it supremacy changes? Loyalty to something that ain't loyal to you has been the downfall of white people since whiteness was invented.

MA is considering legislation that would prohibit companies from collecting sensitive data like location and citizenship status unless it is necessary to provide their product or service, and would bar them from selling these data.

this is another white immigrant story with lots of interesting details missing. What kind of visas did this guy have for the last 20 years? Why did he not apply for a green card until 2025? His story sounds similar to that of many undocumented people. It's not different just bc he's white.

There is genuine French biathlon drama!

www.threads.com/@aldokt/post...
aldokt Winter Olympics 2026 10h I’m sorry, the shooting/skiing relay has just finished and the I think the commentator said that the woman that crossed the line for gold had been shunned for years by her team mates as she STOLE ONE OF THEIR CREDIT CARDS AND SPENT THEIR MONEY. Come on- there’s a Netflix in that surely?? Do I need to make the calls myself?? booooouuuuuuuuuuuuuh 4h Julia Simon was accused last year by her teammate Justine Braisaz Bouchet (and other staff members) of stealing their credit card During pre-season, there was the trial and Simon confessed Because of that, she was suspended for the first few races of the biathlon season Also, another athlete was taken out of the season for tampering with a team mate rifle So yeah, I can't imagine the atmosphere in the french team right now 😬

Despite my best efforts, too many people still don’t know about Mike Tirico. Here’s what I wrote about him in my book:
Both John Buccigross and Matthew Berry continue to have big, public-facing roles with ESPN, despite the allegations against them. As with seemingly all men in sports media accused of sexual misconduct, the public eventually forgives, forgets, and then lashes out at those who remind them. Some of these men go on to become the faces of sports coverage for their outlets. Mike Tirico, for example, was disciplined by ESPN decades ago for one of the most egregious allegations of sexual harassment/assault I’ve heard of, in addition to multiple allegations of stalking and harassment by other female colleagues. In his book ESPN: The Uncensored Story, Michael Freeman recounts Tirico’s inexplicable behavior toward a work colleague at a house party. After ignoring the woman’s pleas that he leave her alone, Tirico, who had just met the woman for the first time, continued to follow her around the party and insist he was in love with her. When the woman, fed up with Tirico’s harassment, left the party, he followed her out to her car and attempted to block her from leaving. When she rolled down the driver’s window to tell him to get out of the way, Tirico reached into the car and shoved his hand between her legs. In another case, Freeman writes that Tirico followed a woman’s car after she rejected his proposition to “throw you on the table right here and fuck your brains out.” This wasn’t the only harassment allegation against Tirico. In the book Those Guys Have All the Fun, James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales write that at least six other women came forward with stories about Tirico. In 1992, ESPN suspended him for three months and told him to seek counseling. After that, Tirico began a meteoric rise at ESPN, eventually becoming the host of ESPN’s crown jewel, Monday Night Football. Tirico was put front and center by ESPN, despite his disturbing history, and I often think of the women he left in his wake as he went on to call NBA and college basketball games, US Open tennis matches, and World Cup soccer. In 2016, before #MeToo exploded on Twitter, Tirico left ESPN for NBC, which would, the following year, fire Matt Lauer for similarly predatory behavior. Like at ESPN, Mike Tirico became the face of NBC Sports, replacing Bob Costas as the lead studio host for coverage of the Olympics. And, in an impressively tone-deaf move by NBC, they had Tirico interview snowboarder Shaun White about a sexual harassment lawsuit against White. When asked, NBC admitted they knew of Tirico’s past but dismissed it as something that happened long ago.

As a former migrant worker (not even a teenager at the time)- it’s important to notice what they’re all doing as he’s being people together thru song. They’re emerging from the fields, in solidarity. And the fields are no longer a place of exploitation/violence but *nature* supporting her people.

What I don't understand about the Olympics figure skating coverage is why everyone isn't talking about the fact that Ilia Malanin's free skate music features himself doing spoken word stuff, and that someone should have definitely stopped him from doing that.

I doubt this has happened before: 11 of this weekend's top 15 movies were made independently, inc. 4 of the top 5. There is nothing holding down overall grosses and attendance more than the fact that studios have forgotten how to do what they used to do, which is to fill the pipeline with movies.

I invite you all to get into the weirdest, hardest and most wonderful sport: Biathlon.

(I love it so much I went to Norway last March to see my favs biathletes retire.)

Here’s an intro I wrote in December 2024.
