Whatever could have caused such a surge? In Europe, you say. It’s as if Russia invaded a sovereign nation, kidnapped babies, raped the elderly and disabled and burned towns to the ground, in a nation nestled next to the EU.

Kate from Kharkiv @kateinkharkiv.bsky.social · 18h

Russians are shocked by the surge of hatred toward Russia in Europe over the past four years. How could that be? Why?

It doesn’t occur to them that maybe invading a neighboring state has something to do with it.

Nearly 40% of young men don't see sexual assault as domestic violence. This shocking statistic from a national survey highlights a dangerous gap in understanding abuse.

Public bathrooms don't have to be awful. Example: MINNESOTA.

See the Minnesota park bathroom that won an award for best in the country

The park facilities “raise expectations for public spaces everywhere,” according to Cintas, which gives out the award.

Corruption in plain view

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 16h

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

This post makes me believe in God. Thank you for making me snort out ice tea in a violent surprise burst of laughter. May the world shower you with all the best good things for that free hilarity! 😂

More teams need to realize that some of us broke up with booze during the pandemic. Many adults I know eschew alcohol yet the NFL assumes all fans are frat boys butt chugging kegs. I am on two fantasy football leagues. Lack a cock and hate beer, but my money is as green as his dollar marketing men.

Eagles Nation @phleaglesnation.bsky.social · 21h

Love this! Even though I love the Czech team!

Men in Blazers Media Network @meninblazers.bsky.social · 22h

The Faroe Islands locker room was quite rightly hyped after the territory of just 55,000 people stunned the Czech Republic 2-1 🥳

It’s their third straight World Cup win, arguably the biggest in their history, and leaves the Faroes one point off a World Cup play-off spot. Truly remarkable 🇫🇴

Columbus failed up his whole life

Patrick Wyman @patrickwyman.bsky.social · 12h

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

Netanyahu did not even show up for this “peace summit,” come on now.

Dr Walsh @laurelwalsh.bsky.social · 12h

Hope America’s best and brightest Trump supporting lads head over to help with reconstruction. US bombs leveled those buildings. US apathy fuels the starvation. MAGA men should be hopping on planes to fortify MAGA’s dear leader’s fragile peace.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

Gonna beg to differ. Former cheese shop employee here. At Nelson’s Cheese Factory we shredded the leftover lunch Swiss, Colby, Monterey Jack, Parmesan and hot pepper together and sold the mix. That mix was THE END OF REASON delicious and that is a hill I will die on.

Hope EVERY SINGLE cop who is nervous about Mamdani leaves, retires early, quits, goes to walk the earth, whatever but get the fuck out of the most conspicuous part of the government. Do it now and avoid the rush.

We need a vibrant 3rd party option. Feel like men have two parties and women and children have to hope for the best!

Thank you for your service! My father became a CW04 after growing up on a soybean farm! Service that Trump avoided, calling STDs his “Vietnam” in interviews.
