Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

Here's a fun NBA question: not including past teams of the franchise you're a fan of, what was your favorite team to watch of all time?

For me, my favorite non-Timberwolves team to watch were the Adelman Kings. No team has ever had a prettier half court offense

Drop the recipe, bub.

Wife likes spicy margaritas so I’ve developed my own proprietary recipe with Don Julio, jalapeño, watermelon, mango, cherry and tajin and premake a big pitcher of it for her to sip on throughout the week

I put Voodoo up there as one of the greatest R&B albums in the 21st Century.

It’s fabulous how well that album has aged. Then coming back with the Black Messiah almost 15 years later. We lost a timeless artist, man.

D'Angelo speaking out about the physical and emotional burden of maintaining a nearly unobtainable physique and sexy image as a Black male artist should be taught in labor studies. It absolutely impacted how I analyze pop culture.

The clip above is from an impromptu two-man show that D'Angelo and Questlove did together called Soulquarians: Brothers In Arms at Brooklyn Bowl on March 4th, 2013. It sold out instantly. I was there. 🙏 Thankfully someone saved the audio for posterity. You can hear ppl losing their minds.

He deserved to grow old. He deserved the space to be more creative and share more art w/ the world. He deserved to be adorned in praise while he was still able to receive it in the physical. Luckily, music and spirit is eternal.

RIP Michael Eugene Archer aka D'ANGELO. 🕊️

I remember that night on Twitter. Most of us didn't care because the music was that damn good, and we had waited so long for a new album.

He's a truly iconic artist in a world where the word icon gets thrown around too loosely. Spinning his version of Always In My Hair right now

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

Spread the word, Tony wants to give us MORE Pacers/Fever coverage. Someone pay him to do it.

Hello internet. If your outlet/one you know of is looking for someone to cover the Pacers and/or Fever, would love to chat. Looking for more work covering both teams.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

The same schools that claim their women’s and Olympic sports are being slashed are the same ones doling out over $200 million in buyouts to college football coaches.

Don't fall for it.

I had never even heard of that kind of muscle cramps before. She unlocked a new realm of leaving it all on the court. Legs just said "nah, we're done"
