People with preexisting conditions also don’t deserve to die

Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.

When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene. By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks. One of the paramedics covered his ears and screamed, convulsing in pain as shrapnel shattered the back window of the ambulance. The rescue mission on Wednesday afternoon had turned into a nightmare as Israel carried out three consecutive strikes on three sets of ambulances and medical workers.

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics.

Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity.

Fucking incredible man, good on you.

....and should I be expecting that sack of breakfast tacos anytime soon?

Anthony Edwards on getting up and blocking shots:

“I just be watching Dwyane Wade clips. He was beating shit at the rim so I just be trying to beat shit at the rim.”

Oh fuck. You in Texas? I'll pay you to bring back a sack...

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Replay showed it curving wide for an icing so he slowed up then it hung a left into the EN

When he decides he's just lowering his shoulder and bulldozing to the rim it's egregious, especially compared to what KAT would get called for

The Wolves were terrible about this too! I never understood it! He's basically a wide-open Steph Curry!

Alex Jones is truly one of the most evil people alive. He's lucky he lives in an era where the punishment for behavior like his is losing your website and not thumbscrews.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

My SPPL had it as a Lucky Day book and I was able to snag it that way 🙂

I've had a long running debate with buddies over this (getting to the airport 2-3 hours early vs 1-1.5) and often their biggest reason is time to get drinks!

Love how most ETTA pro arguments make you sound like an alcoholic

I know, I know and I don't care because it got me into musicals and theater as a teen:

Les Mis

Trump dropping his sassy little ad-libs in while reading from the bible on television. Drawling "and that's really so true" and "it's really amazing" as he plods through a verse chosen because Pete Hegseth's pastor thinks it justifies pre-emptive war. What a cool age we're in.

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

Oh god, loser shit

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx. 

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

Conservatives' brains are so broken. Thomas is one of the most powerful people in the country and he lives like a billionaire, vacationing on private yachts and private ranches.

But he is still filled with resentment over "liberals" making his life miserable back when he was a baby in 1948? Wut?

Ope! Nevermind then!

Oooh, going back to the 1s! I wore those colorways for my last curling match and we crushed, so 🤞

Analilia Mejia is winning NJ-11 by nearly 20 points, about 12 points better than Kamala Harris did. This is the type of red-to-blue suburban district where Dems typically nominate center-left mods. A paradigm shift if a Bernie-AOC progressive can dominate vs a Republican here.

Over just five days, the justices had decided the issue. Even as they debated the Obama plan’s possible burden on the power industry, in the entire chain of correspondence obtained by The Times, not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.

Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
