so like i know we all had very little say in where we were born and grew up but like just because a system was in power when you entered this world doesn’t mean it’s legitimate enough to deserve to outlive you

I may be more radicalized than most, but I’m not going to co-exist with people who want my friends dead.

Give Yamamoto the ball in the ninth. He’s better tonight than anyone they have in the bullpen, I promise.

Molly Knight @mollyknight.bsky.social · 14h

Yamamoto gotta go as long as he can. Forget about keeping him fresh for game 6. Go for the kill.

Hi hello I am an American citizen with a very intense knowledge of the first amendment.

Apparently people who are not American cannot say Charlie Kirk "devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynist rhetoric."

I fact checked it.

Charlie Kirk devoted his life to that.

Jail me.

It’s hard to put into words what it means to lose D’Angelo. Not just the man, but the sound, the feeling, the very essence of soul that he embodied.

Happy Anita Bryant Gets Pied in Her Nasty Homophobic Face Day to all who celebrate!

Everybody say thank you to Thomas Lawrence Higgins (RIP).

Anita Bryant, a horrible person in a twee outfit seated in front of several microphones, holds her hands out after being pied in the face. She is covered in banana cream pie, which is quite an improvement to her looks.

Review every play and then have a panel to review the reviews, missing out on valuable ad revenue by not doing this.

Cal Raleigh didn't even have a passed ball this year, hit 60 homers as a switch-hitting catcher. I don't give a fuck what metrics say, any other premium position I'd get giving El Juez the MVP but the Mid's also won their 1st division in 21 yrs. Dude is MVP, ppl be entertaining the dumbest shit.

That sucks. The PNW is so fucking gorgeous but not really diverse and it's a pain in the ass to get around unless you have a car, SEA especially. And even then, the traffic makes me want to shove an ice pick in my eye. Grey is hard for a lot of ppl too. Can I ask the environmental reasons?

I’m admitting to you all right now that while i am hooting appropriately, I have no real emotions invested in either Toronto or Seattle. On the one hand, I’ve never even been to Canada. On the other, I live in Washington and hate it.

AND YOU HATE WA STATE!?!?!?!? Man, that place is as milquetoast as it gets. Oregon has personality that my bias doesn't afford our neighbors to the north.

Smh, Maron ends it w/ Obama? Fuck that dude. Not Maron but come on, you couldn't find a better person to talk to? If dude was such a great president/leader, how the fuck w/ end up w/ who we got 2016, 2020 and now? Again, fuck that dude.

It's like be pick one, dude, Either use your hips right or be a regressive assclown, but it can't be both, yaknow, pick a lane douchenozzle lol

YES! This is going smashingly thus far. The Jake Tapper stray was a thing of beauty but you tying in 1 of my favorite pieces of fashion trivia, brilliant craftswomanship. Seeing it rocked in the 90's as streetwear then finding out in college dude was a Nazi and laced them w/ their fits was wild.

Hilarious writer, student of history AND maker of butt plug jokes. Can I be your best friend? Just don't be a Yankees fan. lol

Really surprised by this Jetspeed Babes v. FTR/Megan Bayne match on Collision, most intergender matches are a little clunky because of the whole "only women fight women, only men fight men" shit and this one was just a straight up proper intergender brawl and it ruled

We're in a Republican shutdown right now because Trump and his minions want to take away YOUR health care to fund tax breaks for their billionaire buddies.

They will always put the powerful ahead of the American people.
