Rockets owners expand talks to buy, move Sun

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

In this case, it's listening to music I was obsessed with in high school. I never in my life thought I would miss what was, for all intents and purposes, a very dark time in my life. Maybe I miss the refuge this music used to provide? The concept of a refuge at all?

I did not realize until now that there's a bad kind of nostalgia. I don't mean bad memories. I mean reminiscing something pleasant but the nostalgia associated puts you in A Mood. It feels like recalling the good old days in a way that makes you want to crawl into a hole and cease to exist.

An old friend messaged me out of the blue today. It's amazing how small gestures can make my day

My tummy hurts :(

Sausage Party. I'm sure I just didn't ✨get✨ it. And everything else about the date was terrible, too. Pah.

Thinking a lot lately abt nationalist primary education, how recently the avg person gained unfettered access to information sources outside of US control, fomenting uncuriousity, and the fact the US was always built to be a white supremacist paradise at the expense of everything and everyone else

there was a big ol' chunk of wealthy gay money that was going in for gay marriage that disappeared from queer rights groups the moment SCOTUS ruled in our favor. they had a lot of interest in getting gay marriage, and pretty much no interest in any queer rights after that.

Not even understanding the dynamics of how voting works in reality, especially in red states.

Red states have so many people libs claim to care about, but in reality are all too happy to sacrifice their brunch

Oh absolutely not. I used to have to be drug tested every 4 months or so when I traveled for work and they would be questioning this if I turned it in

I am part of the crowd that believes we are where we are because of how Reconstruction shook out.

I'm beyond words. A second-gen child of a Venezuelan migrant, an antiracist activist who was willing to risk his life for the people in his community — he ends up getting shot by white, armed peace police who work with cops at a protest organized by a PAC.

And then the org calls him a terrorist.

Can't wait for the Democratic Party to shove Gavin Newsom down our throats in a general election and then blame leftists when he inevitably loses because he sucks shit

"You know, I saw SINNERS three times in theaters."

I am so full of love

Another crowdsourcing request that hopefully some people see. I don't know anything about philosophy. What books (or anything else--social media accounts? Articles? Videos?) should I check out?

Wondering if I turn boomer-level angry at the end of the era of personal sites because I don't feel like the landscape would have changed to become what social media is...not quite. Maybe I'm wrong. Trying to imagine the dead internet theory applied to webrings

I want movie recommendations

Two Transgender Girls, Six Federal Agencies. How Trump Is Trying to Pressure Maine Into Obedience. Maine said it wouldn’t break state law to follow President Donald Trump’s order barring transgender girls from playing girls’ sports. Then came a barrage of investigations and threats targeting the state’s federal funding.

NEW: Since rebuffing Trump's order barring transgender girls from girls’ sports, Maine has been investigated or pressured by 6 federal agencies:
• Education
• Justice
• Agriculture
• HHS
• NOAA
• Social Security

Obsession with burgeoning computer culture? Green is somehow the color of technology

Felt this. I hope you get some relief soon, comrade

Yes

Have you tried it with chicken tortilla soup?

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing.

This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it.

No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

★☆☆☆☆ EXISTENCE (HUMAN LIFE) very boring. spent 1/3 of it asleep. had to work too much. only one planet available. others are selfish. AVOID.

★☆☆☆☆

I feel like being creative. Alas, eleven hours of work.

I know cruelty is the point but… man this one is just especially ghoulish. They say they’re doing this to “protect the kids” but it’s always been so painfully obvious what the truth is. The want trans kids to die, to disappear, to be erased.
