I suddenly feel much more nervous about my team potentially sitting on the visitor's bench in Colorado after watching the explosion of glass onto D.J. Smith's head

Going down 0-1 in a series is not terribly concerning. Roope Hintz not walking through the door for Game 2 is.

He feels like a mint chip kinda guy. I have no evidence for this just vibes

It was too funny to remain in the group chat

A screenshot of a tweet from Versha Sharma reading "Live from the NYC LGBT Center Gala: Dr Jill Biden was a surprise guest tonight - and just bid $35k for a walk on role in Heated Rivalry season 2!!!! (With all funds going to the center) But was outbid - final winners bid $125k each, for a total of $250k raised for the center!!"

So you're telling me there's a non insignificant chance that President Joe Biden has seen Hudson Williams' back arch

I've done so much work today someone needs to give me a sticker

Please don't just concentrate on his comment about the pope discussing theology, he also compared the threatened destruction of Iranian civilisation to the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps.

Pope Leo has been a priest longer than Couchfucker McGoon here has been ALIVE... I think he knows his theology just fine

screencap of a tweet with a photo at the bottom of JD Vance giving a talk, gesturing smugly with his hands Eric Daugherty • @EricLDaugh • 1h • JD VANCE RESPONDS TO POPE LEO: "When the Pope says that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword - there is more than a THOUSAND year tradition of Just war Theory." "In the same way that it's important for the vice president of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology." "And I think that one of these issues here is that there has been - if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth, and that's one of the things that I try to do, and it's certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they're Catholic or Protestant."

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far -

POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad

VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church??

POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there

Pope Leo said "don't do war" and it's a personal attack on the US? ...well hit dogs gonna holler or something

and when we're talking undesirable locations and undesirable jobs, we're not just talking "rough" (read: majority Black/Hispanic) parts of urban areas... POC doctors are frequently the ones manning rural clinics and driving 2-4 hours a day to see patients in remote locations such as Appalachia

If you see a doctor with an accent and think getting rid of that doctor will somehow bring you one without an accent, you are mistaken. The real choice is often a doctor with an accent or no doctor at all. Choose.

I say this as a Christian, fwiw, and so I am biased. I am biased in that I, personally, don't think the Trump-as-Jesus image is as offensive to my faith as, say, seeing Liam Ramos being hustled away from his school by ICE.

A graphic that has the following words; each line is a different color on a black background: IN THIS HOUSE, WE BELIEVE WOMEN UNLESS THEY ACCUSE SOMEONE WE SUPPORT OR THE TIMING IS KINDA WEIRD ALSO REPUBLICANS GET AWAY WITH IT ALL THE TIME MAYBE WE SHOULD TOO * * * * * The graphic is made to look like the yard signs that have a list of slogans that are lefty/squishy/co-opted ("In this house, Black lives matter, we believe in science, love is real") and that are sometimes seen as a marker of people who say the right things but don't vote or act accordingly/blue wave maga/"libs"/etc.

what I'm hearing

Well if we're counting the Nutella that the astronauts have, then peanut butter is like... The same category right?

You have youthful energy!

... Now why did I fully think you were also a late 80s baby

Green chutney, Kewpie mayo, and peanut butter

Without something that shows your age, what's something that shows your age?

I owned pretty much every single color of glitter jeans from Limited Too

which means he has spent his whole career entirely outside the right-wing political fuckery of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (a clown car of nightmares, albeit improving slowly) but his previous gig was being Francis' Guy In Charge of Hiring Bishops, so he knows exactly how bad it is here

worth noting, also, that Pope Leo scans as American TO US, but to the US bishops and cardinals at the time of his election, he didn't. he'd been working so long in Peru (and had citizenship there) that he scanned as a member of the Latin American bloc. both of the US and not of it, in a way

he was born in America, his family is in America, he still has skin in the game (you know that man has seen a relative's horrifying health insurance bill) but he's also lived among people who America has fucked over and that's why war, violence, and the economy are things we see him take seriously

a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate

I need y'all to understand that this is close to $5000 worth of boots, Alexander Gabriel Claremont-Diaz, YOU are a snob

again very funny to think that a critical pro trump message in 2024 was that he wouldn’t start world war iii

I Guess We're Just Waiting Around To See If This Demented Psychopath Kills Everyone | Defector There is a particular indignity that comes from living in America, derived from the experience of waking up in the morning to see reports that Donald Trump has said something profoundly evil, and then...

Trying to work like normal under this administration is already so hard and this is sending me into a full tailspin

I have friends in Iran. I'm going to spend my entire day panicking for them, probably. How do I explain this to my boss?
