COVID has killed more Americans than HIV. But if we ever thought about that seriously, we would stop everything to prevent the continued spread of the virus and the constant reinfection of the population.
there’s a thread on reddit right now called “was COVID really that bad?” and it is interesting to read people’s accounts five years out

there seems to be a collective trauma response where people (outside of healthcare workers) don’t remember how many people died

someone called it anticlimactic
The Women’s March in 2017 ultimately amounted to nothing more than a liberal white feminist expression of frustration with their anointed candidate not winning, especially once it became clear that Black and other women within that movement were excluded and silenced over time. Then Trump returned.
What purpose does this serve, though? The same spineless liberals are just going to win in some districts next November, and this same cycle of running in place politically will just continue until what’s left of democracy vanishes in 2040.

WE ARE SO BACK.
Haaland is trying to break Vardy's record, but we can't prove it.
Tough break for the kid. He would have been a welcome addition to Miami’s nonexistent PG rotation. Get well soon, Scotty!

I wrote about him some more here: therjmblog.wordpress.com/2025/04/04/s...
I am okay with this.
We can't explain it, but putting a little line in the middle of a 7 is writing French.

DSA supports the mass mobilizations against Donald Trump. As socialists we must be clear: defeating Trump and his administration means defeating the whole capitalist, imperialist system. Join DSA to help build the movement for a better world.
Honestly, Malcolm Brogdon [officially] calling it quits before Ben Simmons did was not on my NBA Bingo card this season. Really wasn’t.
Four more wins for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Dodgers are headed back to the World Series ‼️
But they don’t. I’ve learned never to trust liberal politicians anymore—they’ve proven they will gaslight and betray the working class the moment they taste power, instead seeking to compromise and play nice with the very conservatives they told us were essentially political terrorists for a cycle.
They’re doing whatever they need to in order to win the propaganda wars and it’s probably going to work; I just wish liberals had an actual backbone and did this from 2009-16 and Republicans started giving Obama problems; maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess today with so many warped mines out there.
Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.
Gabe Vincent shooting like it’s 2023. Okay.
Ah, of course.
BREAKING: Nine-time NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook has agreed on a deal to sign with the Sacramento Kings, Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports Management tells ESPN. The 2017 league MVP enters his 18th NBA season.
The Amazon Prime NBA experience, so far, has been a success. No stutters, glitches, hiccups, and so on. Frankly shocked, but also pleasantly surprised. NBA League Pass has set the bar so low that something like this was inevitable.

It’s early, y’all.
Who in the world is this woman singing the U.S. National Anthem at the Suns-Lakers game and why isn't there already a video of this up somewhere online?! 😂
Screw it, sign Russell Westbrook, Miami. Do it.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy. 

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Your reminder—or maybe no one ever told you—that complications from a measles infection include immune amnesia (where you lose immunity to everything), vision and hearing loss, brain damage, and a fatal brain disease called Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis that can show up years later.
Hundreds of children in multiple states are in quarantine and on remote learning due to measles outbreaks.

The decline in MMR vaccinations has resulted in the US experiencing an increase of measles cases with 1563 total cases & 3 deaths since January.

These blue Carolina Panthers unis I'm currently seeing are probably my favorite of all time. I love that shade of blue; it's reminiscent of my own personal shade (Ríobleu).

GORGEOUS.
Truly is a fascinating thing to come to the realization that someone showcasing themselves as intelligent turns out to be an idiot in denial/disguise.

This is only something worth ridicule when the person insists on wearing the mask instead of actually trying not to be an idiot.
Today is Sunday, 12 October 2025, and @ajawilson.bsky.social is a three-time WNBA champion. But no, there's more.

She's one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Put simply, Y'ALL GON RESPECT MY G'OAT.

RESPECT MY G’OAT.
A’ja Wilson is one of the 10 greatest basketball players I’ve ever seen.
