i don’t remember much of this movie but i do remember leaving and feeling like the dinosaurs behaved a lot more like pure antagonists than just like, dinosaurs?

here’s a preseason basketball take- i think it’s funny as hell that the nba scheduled the wolves on a back to back even in preseason

i think they should get the player who will best contribute to their winning

he’s such a fascinating player. he’s not as bad as people think but he’s always on bad teams and i think clearly prefers the green light that comes with so it’s hard to say he doesn’t earn the reputation a bit

think a lot of people say they’re mad at bluesky when what they are mad at is the world. i get it though really, and it’s okay to log off if you aren’t getting anything out of it!

like. i remember the offseason on twitter also feeling like a lull other than the good group of people talking lynx? should we be posting every day about how we think jordan poole is gonna adjust to being a pelican?

like, don’t get me wrong this place is always going to skew more political but i think the fact that it’s been the nba offseason while a fascist dictator takes over is gonna skew the conversation a bit. i know when the wolves are playing every 2-3 days i’ll certainly be back in basketball mode.

I AM really struggling with how little NBA talk there is on here and I'm tired of pretending I'm not. Ratio me, it's a badge of honor.

yeah for sure but she’s at least canonically an annoying age for the first several seasons so it only starts to really bother me when she’s older

this is getting very dangerous very fast and it is entirely the feds' doing. in fact the discipline and courage of protesters is the only thing slowing down escalation.

At 105th chaos erupted when ICE agents allegedly crashed into an SUV. A crowd formed and objects were thrown. Pepper balls were shot into the crowd. Police arrived to try to have dialogue with the crowd when witnesses stated they began throwing rocks at ICE. ICE then deployed tear gas.

like the peace agreement they signed, which was publicly known for a while, includes several steps that are basically just “donald trumps private enterprise will take over and own gaza” so maybe it’s prudent to wait a little bit before rendering final judgment here

it’s been kind of interesting how desperate people on the left and the right are to give donald trump credit for something that so many people couldn’t even wait a week to see how…any of this shakes out before giving him praise

“marilyn monroe could be in game of thrones!” why? for what purpose? who could that possibly be for!

idk man i guess that i think accepting that people will die and things will change and that you don’t get to have everything you want is a fundamental part of the human experience and i don’t know how to relate to anyone who would rather exist in a fantasy than deal with those emotions
