I really wish I spoke (or at least read) Norwegian to get the story of how exactly this happened.

Oh, man. One of cinema's most reliable weirdos, and I mean that in a highly complimentary fashion. RIP.

I keep thinking about Emely doing her jazzy double spin up the floor to completely whiff a lay up and give the ball back in the Iowa/Baylor game. She’s young and has a great potential but I really need a gif of this play for when I’m doing the most and accomplishing the least lol.

@sbworkersunited.org have launched the biggest open-ended strike in Starbucks history, fighting for fair wages and against unfair labor practices. We all need to stand in solidarity with striking workers. DON'T BUY STARBUCKS FOR THE DURATION OF THE STRIKE. #NoContractNoCoffee

The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

Iowa State come out of the half very flat and pick up a lot of fouls. Drake has scored 14 to open the 3rd quarter and ISU has 0. #NCAAW #WBB #Big12

Iowa State's first road game of the season comes against Drake University tonight. Drake's campus is about 40 minutes away from Hilton Coliseum. I expect the crowd will heavily favor the Cyclones but be much smaller than they have had thus far. #NCAAW #WBB #Big12

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

The Washington Post Editorial Board is literally praising Trump's pseudoscientific "review" which deadnames trans people and which was constructed by numerous hate group talking heads as being good science.

God how far it has fallen.

I wonder if any enterprising person is compiling a montage of the 6-7 reaction in these school kid field trip early season games. I think the reaction at the West Virginia Appalachian State game has been the loudest most sustained of any I've been able to see. #NCAAWBB #wbb #Big12
