the greatest defensive mind in football history - a stoic, unflappable genius of a man - is currently putting his name on the line bc the sexual advances of the 21st century have him in the walls of jericho. and that's kind of beautiful if you think about it
god bill is gonna be so pissed when he realizes he canât cut anyone tomorrow
I went to UNCA. UNCCH can Perish
as a UNC-hater Iâm having a great time
Fango mourns the passing of the great Graham Greene. Greene, a Canadian First Nations actor and recording artist, is best known to horror and genre fans for his work in THE GREEN MILE, THE TWILIGHT SAGA, and ANTLERS, with a long and esteemed career across multiple genres.

It does not seem good that a sizable portion of the political and media elite would rather cook their brains on a white nationalist website than have to engage with criticism from the left.
The bank app is telling me to "tap & pay like a bossđ" and "rally my crew". I am 37 years old and you are the bank. Don't talk to me this way.
Yeah no the American education system is going to die because conservatives want to destroy it and nobody wants to tell them they're wrong
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. NÊkiâwah brother.
there are still many questions that remain about Diamond Baseball Holdings! however! its role as a sponsorship contract escalator for MiLB and the assorted figures in profits means that they are unintentionally proving the arguments against MiLB fair wages are false! bsky.app/profile/jenr...
happy Labor Day; if there is one thing that Diamond Baseball Holdings is proving, it's that the notion and argument that Minor League Baseball is not profitable is false and as the adage goes: labor is entitled to all it creates. www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/202...
Nate Silver's whole deal is that he accurately called a coinflip 20 years ago and, as a result, we will never be rid of him.
Iâve already seen this image spread to meme accounts on Instagram claiming itâs âenhanced.â AI cannot âenhanceâ a blurry photo. It can only guess at what shadows are â and inevitably get them wrong. Thatâs why he looks so strange. I need yâall to lock in on whatâs real and what isnât before sharing
What if they not letting Trump speak because he had a Reverse Fetterman Stroke and hes woke now
I donât always say this, but this feels like a situation where any joke answer as to whatâs being tossed out here wonât be funnier than whatâs actually being tossed out here bsky.app/profile/nihi...

im so glad to see them specifically mention Civil War because it was So Bad in terms of not actually saying anything and seeing some people act like it said something made me feel a little crazy tbh
This whole thing is wild, but it's crazy to see how quickly "non-transphobic" people will go right to deadnaming someone.
having a hard time w this and feeling like everything is bad and stupid today, and obvi i know stuff happens, plans w experiments change, id not even started it yet so it's not like i "lost" anything, im not at all unique in having this happen, etc.
genuinely trying to figure out if/how to say âI know heâs here as part of a program for students who are work-study eligible, but having him âhelpâ me is actually adding more work for me and I donât want him near my fliesâ to my advisor đđđ
lol the undergrad I trained didnât write the date in the notebook for collecting info, labeled all vials as male so idk which are male or female, and didnât clean up the area when he was done like come the fuck on

look at this u guys. just a nice pic from my favorite baseball team! :)
considering republicans are trying to traffic children literally as we speak, âwe will protect your children from republicansâ is a broadly applicable goal that seems easy to sell but i guess we donât talk about child safety at the kitchen table?

some special way i should go "hey is it possible my cat has hyperthyroidism?" that won't go horribly for me
assuming based off my experiences as a human patient with chronic health problems who's had to do this with human doctors who then act like you're questioning their authority which impacts future care that vets may not appreciate someone with a specific idea of what may be happening, so is there
i think i may have just figured out what my cat's issue my be, or i at least think i have something worse investigating. i dont want to be labeled the "bad parent" (assuming that notes like that impact future care, like being labeled a "bad patient" does for a human patient) over this and im
this is prob a stupid question but im a new owner of the kind of pet you take to the vet (my other pet being a tarantula) so im new to the advocating for my pet at the vet thing (even if im really experienced at the advocating for myself at the doctor thing as someone with chronic health issues) and
I love to structure my day around meeting people I know somewhere, to go there and see another group where we were supposed to meet, have the people who are there call me slurs and threaten to hate crime me, and for no one I know to actually show up

lol just been informed that the drosophila stock center isnt taking any orders and ppl dont know why so we wont be able to get some of the species id like for my phd big project and also my advisor doesnt know anyone else working on them we can ask for them
if you're a cis person who considers yourself an ally, this is absolutely a time to listen and call out other cis people in your spaces on their transphobia btw
patiently waiting as a trans person to see cis people defend trans people speaking out about gavin newsom's transphobia against transphobic libs because, personally, all im seeing is trans people fighting alone
It absolutely does mean they're anti-trans, you freak.
Apparently the German republicans had a saying that one had to "howl with the wolves" to remain viable. It was a very cutesie way of shutting down debate, Haffner relates. Now of course we know that if it howls like a nazi and runs in the same pack, it's a nazi
like thank you for telling me that newsom+his voters and trump agree on the issue of me having rights, i guess? this doesn't tell me why i, a trans person, should vote for newsom
do they understand that these kinds of "well it will be bad under trump but also i dont think care that newsom also doesnt think you should have rights, which i agree with" replies still don't tell someone why they *should* vote for newsom?
it needs to be asserted at every opportunity that the catholic school shooting is the end result of detrans grifting and white supremacy
I hate the framing of "trans are bad at sports anyways". When trans women are really good at their chosen sport, it shouldn't make the argument to push us out of the game valid. We are allowed to succeed. We deserve to be celebrated. We don't get to participate just because we're bad
The New York Post is reporting the Minneapolis shooter was a far-right detransitioner who made TERF claims about their medical care ruining them in his manifesto
a little ridiculous to say a "protect trans kids" shirt with a knife on it is a call for violence when i see people wearing shirts with AR - 15s on them every day at like h-e-b
Was trying to find this to confirm itâs real. Turns out itâs from Threads and dril is killing it over there

Update! Estonia joins Finland and Poland in exploring defensive bog restoration, the environment and defense ministries just told me. Talks still at an early stage, as in the other two countries. More here: www.politico.eu/article/esto...

With the AJC dropping its print edition, I feel compelled to share one of the greatest moments in print design history
oh no. i didnt notice the typo at first and was just going to answer the question
How are we still doing this dumb let them suffer bullshit in 2025
It's been 70 years since Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. He was 14. After years of pushing for it, the Chicago church where Emmett's mother bravely held his open-casket wake is a national monument. May Emmett and Mamie Till-Mobley's stories never be forgotten.

âWe stopped moderating which means weâre seeing fewer moderation errorsâ is such emblematic, perfect Mark Zuckerberg Thought
You do not, under any circumstances, âgotta hand it to Gavin Newsomâ for dunking on Trump on social media when heâs enacting polices and using rhetoric that harms black and brown folks and the trans community. And under no circumstances should he be the Democratsâ 2028 nominee.
if you dont fund grad students, you're saying "we only want people from money in our department!" and i dont feel it's wrong to say that
like im a product of public schools and obvi im super fortunate my parents could cover undergrad (with me getting scholarships including one that covered my entire final year) at the least expensive state school i applied to. but im only able to be in grad school at all because im fully-funded!
being accused of "hating rich people" after saying in a conversation about if a dept that doesnt fund its grad students is a red flag or not that a dept that doesnt fund its grad students is making a statement about the kind of people wanted in the dept and it's not normal people
itâs really damn bleak right now & itâs hard to feel good about anything but some trans folks out there are 100% determined to make sure every trans person is exactly as panicked as they are in a way thatâs not additive or informative & iâm not sure thatâs helpful or what solidarity looks like.
having to repeat "most people are normal people and are not evil" to myself to get through the day, and it's nice to see some actual confirmation of that belief. most people are, in fact, with trans people or at least not vocally opposed, which i will take
im actually in love w this piece
thank you for sharing this information!! obvi things r Bad but it does make me so happy to know that 505/528 comments were against the bill and i have to believe that means something
I'll also leave you with this: the bill currently being debated had 528 people submit comments or sign up to testify. 505 of those were against the bill. Yes, the bill went to the floor in spite of that, and it sucks. But *96%* of the public who spoke up in some way were in opposition.
I am in a whole ass group chat of trans people, many of whom are down at the Texas Capitol sitting in on a bathroom bill hearing, and the mood is better in that group chat than on this website
James Cameron selling his soul to AI and him saying this shit is truly his downfall and he can go fuck himself He's truly insulting filmmakers and VFX artists with his recent decisions

(maybe im a weenie but im not liking seeing people joke about a man crashing his car and being unable to escape his car as the temperatures reached a point they caused his skeleton to fracture and surpassed the temp of a crematorium. however much of this he was alive for was horrific)
I did this Muppets Take Manhattan piece for a zine a while back and I still think itâs super cute
Howâs your day been, this is how I am
if you want visual effects in your films, pay vfx artists for their time and skills!! or learn to do it yourself!!!!
james cameron perish challenge
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
Shooter was a detransitioned anti-trans Nazi whose ideology was in lockstep with 99% of Trumpism. But the fascists won't let the truth get in the way of an extermination plan they were already working on anyway.

This was through CVS and is for the 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccine.
Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask âdo you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.â Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
i kind of want to try it tbh
TIL according to dems if the majority of people are for bigotry the right thing to do is to just give in to that and not fight for something better
hi @puppydudley.bsky.social explain to me, a trans person, why i should vote for someone who doesnt think i deserve the same ability to exist in the public sphere as any other person
