As of today, both Fultz and Simmons are out of the NBA. It hasn’t even been ten years, since the first one was drafted.

Thank you @danhopp.bsky.social for allowing me to become the Phoker in your ears.

10/15/15, Howard Unruh’s “Walk of Death” story @smithsonianmag.bsky.social. Labor Day 1949, he murders 13, including a 6-year old. 2018, an escapee’s granddaughter survives Parkland.

I’ve forgotten a million words but this one haunts me. We’ve done nothing.

TFW when you learn the local movie haus is screening Preston Sturges at 3:15 on a Wednesday and you’re just the kind of slacker who can convince himself you don’t ~really~ have anything to do.

LOL I’m reading “The Nazi and the Psychiatrist” for a @truthdig.com thing and there’s a whole section about how they couldn’t use one transit plane because Hermann Goring was too fat. And on the second plane he couldn’t fasten his seat belt over “Das Gut.”

Just saying.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

I had it coming because I preordered it at my favorite local bookstore and now @lukeoneil47.bsky.social is here to make me sad and angry and not alone.

Myself, a white guy with silver facial hair and a black baseball cap, holding up a paperback book called ‘We Had It Coming’ by Luke O’Neil in front of a window that reads Greenlight Bookstore.

I get dunking on billionaires, but man, I love reviewing books for WaPo. It’s just really really awful and only a self-own for a tiny % of the ownership-management class.

karl rove knausgård @uhactually.bsky.social · 1d

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...
