The promise of a beer and ballgame in the near future is doing a lot of emotional heavy lifting these days.

The "Epstein class" who never served and whose children will never serve will come out of this richer than ever. Trump's kids & Kushner are already using this opportunity to grift billions more from multiple Middle Eastern countries for "protection". Only the "suckers and losers" will do the dying.

U.S. State Department notice for Americans to leave 13 Middle Eastern countries

Image of current flights in the air over the Middle East

The U.S. State Department issued a notice yesterday for Americans to evacuate more than a dozen Middle Eastern countries "via commercial means due to serious safety risks."

The catch?

Air space is closed. There are no flights leaving 10 of the 13 countries.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

This is disgusting. How many trans people will be arrested on bullshit charges so the government can force them to detransition?

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

I guess they rejected OPERATION BLOW UP CHILDREN TO DISTRACT FROM THE FACT THAT WE RAPE CHILDREN

The 2026 US Men’s Olympic Hockey Team is exactly what happens when you let athletes ignore schooling. It’s no coincidence that some of the most seemingly liberal players are usually more intelligent (ie. Kreider, Trouba).

American journalists won’t, but can any Canadian journalists who cover teams with US players who went to the White House question them on why they visited a criminal, pedophile fascist? And how their actions in the past 48 hours is “keeping politics out of sports” like so many claim they want to do?

thinking about women at the top of their game winning medals and trophies and being genuinely supportive of their competitors bc they aren’t threatened by each other’s success, meanwhile the face of sports transphobia is some asshole who placed eighth in a swim meet and made it everybody’s problem

Just wanted the women’s figure skating. So, so happy for Alyssa Liu! What a day for American women!

Actually started crying when they showed Poulin and Knight giving each other a hug. Legends of the sport.

I love women’s hockey. Unbelievable game. So proud of these women, on both the US team and the Canadian team.

HILARY FUCKING KNIGHT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

I can’t stop smiling. Quinn motherfucking Hughes my favorite player scoring in OT was unreal #usahockey

Hockey is better when it's girls.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text.

Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

I covet those silver coats the women holding the country signs are wearing #olympics

Here you go:

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE

Alex Pretti's coworkers taking a moment of silence to honor him

okay hi everyone real quick crowdfund: we're doing grocery box packing for families from our kids' school, and i would really really really really like to raise funds to stick a box of cake mix or pre-made cookies in each box this week. v3nmo is nhojelttil, please put a 🍰 or 🍪 with it

I can think of like 7 stores within 10 miles of me that sell them all the time

It’s remarkable how quickly the “everyone shall be armed” Second Amendment Republicans use the fact that a beaten, defenseless man lying on the ground was (maybe) armed as justification for federal agents to execute him.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment
