Hey folks. I know there's a lot going on right now, but I'd really appreciate it if you read this piece I wrote on the perils of raising an autistic child during the era of RFK Jr. and his campaign of insane conspiracies and cruel scare tactics geared toward people on the spectrum.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Will Not Let My Daughter Be | Defector

When it comes to my daughter, I try to live in the moment. I stumbled into this paradigm in March of 2023, when Nora was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at the age of 2. Nora is 4 now—a…

The Mariners and Brewers never spending any money might be a key reason why neither of them has ever won a World Series

City Nolan @ndhapple.bsky.social · 2h

Fun fact: Mainers/Brewers World Series would have a combined payroll that's less than either the Mets or the Yankees on their own.

I hate the Mariners, but the best thing for Yankees fans would be an overwhelming Mariners ALCS sweep.

Watching the Blue Jays tonight I’m forced to a conclusion - the Yankees should be way more embarrassed about their performance in the DS than they are

Mina if the Mariners make the World Series you should have ESPN fly you between games in a helicopter like Deion in 1992.

Yeah, the guy clearly despises Muslims, and I guess the point is that all Muslims want to kill trans people, but also James Woods clearly hates trans people too. Levels.

Joe Flynn @chinajoeflynn.bsky.social · 6h

A garden-variety islamophobe doesn't know the word "taqiyya." James Woods is a very special kind of islamophobe

Joe Flynn @chinajoeflynn.bsky.social · 6h

@davidjroth.bsky.social Where does James Woods rank on the list of "most talented artists you would be honor-bound to spit on if you ever met in real life?" Such a talent, but I'm absolutely hocking that loogie if I see him on the street.

"Mamdani is bad for being a Muslim and hating trans people, who I also hate..." is reaching Aaron Sorkin levels of Republican

My bad! I made an apology post

Joe Flynn @chinajoeflynn.bsky.social · 7h

My bad! Apparently that was not Tim Russert, but English guy Des O'Connor! I'm still going to pretend it's Tim Russert, though. He was a huge Buffalo Bills fan, and I want to believe he got to experience some joy in his life.

Look at this man grooving. It's so pure.

Tim Russert looking at the Bee Gees song. His expression is one of pure wonder

Joe Flynn @chinajoeflynn.bsky.social · 8h

@brendelbored.bsky.social one of the most wholesome videos on the Internet is the Bee Gees doing an a capella version of "How Deep Is Your Love" on a talk show while host Tim Russert looks on absolutely fucking spellbound.

Dunno if you saw this, but it happened right around the same thing the Jets were doing their thing, and my brain is thoroughly ruined.

New levels of hell: just got an email from our local AYSO cancelling today’s youth soccer games because ICE is at the Home Depot across from the soccer fields at James Park in Evanston.

The whole "you should be proud of Bari Weiss because she's a WOMAN entrepreneur" argument reminds me of this comic:

A comic with a drone dropping bombs and a man saying "they say the next ones will be sent by a woman!" and a woman replying "really makes you feel like you're part of history."

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

@davidjroth.bsky.social Seriously considering moving to Portland and joining these pro-ICE protesters. I'll bring a placard "NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES...SOME WEAR SKI MASKS" and whooping it up every time they shoot another priest.
