USA DEFEATS PAKISTAN AT THE T20 CRICKET WORLD CUP
ONE OF THE BIGGEST UPSETS IMAGINABLE
PAKISTAN MADE THE FINAL LAST TIME. JUST USA’S SECOND WORLD CUP MATCH EVER… AND WEVE WON THEM BOTH!!!
My god, dril’s first tweet came the morning of the Lehman Bros. bankruptcy. The last ten years of our lives, dominated by the fall of one titan and the rise of another, all on the same day
“[The pharmacist] turned to us and was like, ‘Hey, I’ve got two doses of the vaccine and I’m going to have to throw them away if I don’t give them to somebody. We close in 10 minutes. Do you want the Moderna vaccine?’”
if i was overleveraged to the tune of billions of dollars and needed to improve the state of my social media site to break even, well, i simply wouldn’t reply to this
REPORTER: Madam President, what's your favorite Hold Steady album?

god, the replies to this. liberals have been trained to believe the most important thing is making sure the "undeserving" don't get something good, no matter what the cost.
Twisted fact : Kubrick actually made his assistant type all the 500 odd pages with countless repetitions of "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".
Also, most of Shelly Duvall's performance was not 'acting' per se. She was actually traumatized by Kubrick!

You're not even highlighting Black Lives Matter groups here. What's wrong with you? You're slapping branding on real people's organizing

toward the end of his life, Tony Mazzocchi and the American Labor Party pushed for free college for all Americans, a GI Bill for everyone. he was asked why normal Americans deserve it. this was the answer.
watched GLASS, and there’s just no one working on Shyamalan’s level. it’s not the best level. it’s probably not even a good one. but no one else is making deeply weird, $20 million superhero movies about working through childhood trauma in a parking lot.
nominally, this is wrapped in a cloak of attacking privilege: don't cut the line for the vaccine, most people don't "need" 2k checks, etc. but the result is still immiseration of everyone
I went to Church this morning
The most Trad Catholic you can get
Rural (you pass cows on the way in)
100% White Irish
The Priest did a speech during the service celebrating the Christian virtue of taking in Refugees
He praised a nearby town that is now 60% immigrants
ok i need everyone's personal favourite world-shatteringly stupid star wars lore decision that is small enough to fit into a single tweet. mine is that they decided famous han solo quotes were due to a near deific belief in beating the odds as enshrined in corellian culture
John Cassaday’s work on Planetary will stand the test of time. pulp, psychedelia, art nouveau, the genuinely alien. he did it all, and it’s all coherent as one work. Rest in peace.

“But perhaps I understood, from the darkest corner of my soul, that these pancakes couldn't kill me, because I was already dead.” a genuine all-timer line
people are complaining to the Post that Biden might pick actual diplomats to be ambassadors instead of just rich freaks. do they realize how this comes off
@KrangTNelson
this is exactly the type of obsessive overthinking that goes into, like, the Westworld subreddit, but they’re doing it for the news. amazing.
the idea that “the state of florida” has the right to dismantle universities but the actual residents of florida have no right to an education is so incredibly authoritarian

The Batman used The Volume a lot, too. It’s not so much “not using CGI” as it is having clear art direction from the start, and not filling everything in during post
Scoop: Biden to appoint Martin O’Malley, former Maryland governor & Baltimore mayor, to lead Social Security Administration, multiple sources tell me &

@ne0scythian
the second iteration of the klan grew so fast because they just stole a lot of the ritual stuff from the fraternal orders. it was like, hey i already know this kind of stuff, and i get to be mega racist
Ivy League students might plausibly be a leading indicator for *elite* sentiment. But to a first approximation, they are irrelevant to forecasting popular sentiment. And to a second approximation, they are a contrary indicator.

@EWErickson
great message, Erick! and i always find that if people aren’t receptive to the gospel, or if they’d like to form a labor union, that it’s okay to disappear them in a regime of terror
