the choice at the crossroads was not ours alone

This is not metaphorical. I mean actual, literal pieces of paper/plastic/metal/whatever explicitly erected to inform the public.

“How did you know this was the right trail?” I read the sign.

“Wow, how did you know what that flower is?” There’s a SIGN.

“How did you know we needed to use the side door?” THERE IS A SIGN POSTED ON THE FRONT DOOR.

Just…why are we having such different experiences of the world? People can read. I KNOW they can read. There’s nothing wrong with their vision.

Just. READ. THE. GOD. DAMN. SIGN.

multiple speedometer pictures, all while driving and all over the speed limit

club selfies with svetlana and like every fifth one you can see that they definitely just did key bumps

video of him downing a big mac in like 35 seconds while the raiders call him disgusting in the background

a million sweaty gym selfies

200+ selfies of him with the stanley cup in various states of drunkenness and undress

dick pic accidentally posted to his story. it is the only story of his he’s deleted. followed by a black screen that say “whoops 😜 no peaking 😈”

im seeing people fact-check this in the notes so i'll add that the full inscription is "marcosior maternia" and if you search that in google scholar you'll find lots of sources. it might not be true but it's definitely real, by which i mean that scholars don't know for sure what "marcosior maternia" means but this is a common interpretation. it's written on a spindle whorl (little weights that are used in spinning) and there's actually a lot of spindle whorls from roman gaul that have sort of amatory inscriptions on them, so they might have been gifts for lovers but it's not clear, but anyway a sexual meaning is perfectly expected for this type of object, and maternia looks like a woman's name in either the nominative or instrumental case, and marcosior looks like a passive verb related to the word for 'horse' in a desiderative or future form. so "i want to be ridden by maternia", "i will be ridden by maternia", and "maternia will be ridden" are some of the plausible interpretations.

like sorry but in an apocalyptic alternate-universe earth, the phrase "train of thought" is plausible even in a world without locomotives, because the word "train" comes from the 14th century, and it meant "to drag"

that's why we call dress trains "trains". because they drag. the word wasn't invented for locomotives.

Extradition request for James ‘Fergie’ Chambers sparks concerns that US government is conflating humanitarian aid with terrorism

Timothy Pratt Wed 15 Jul 2026 06.00 EDT

Spanish authorities detained James “Fergie” Chambers on Friday and are now holding him without bail in Madrid. A hearing is scheduled for Thursday on whether he can be released on bail.

The Spanish high court has 40 days to decide whether to grant the Trump administration’s extradition request. If the court says no, the case closes there. If it says yes, the Council of Ministers has the final decision, according to a spokesperson for the court. The indictment against Chambers is sealed.

This is the first known case of the US seeking extradition of a citizen arrested and charged with supporting Hamas, according to Stanley Cohen, an attorney with 40 years’ experience working on terrorism cases.

“I don’t doubt the decision was made [to seek Chambers’ extradition] because it looks good for Trump, for Aipac and for Zionist supporters,” said Cohen, who has been following the case. “It’s a conscious decision to target for political purposes.”

microsoft games are a bds boycott target, and because both bethesda + obsidian are owned by microsoft, this includes the games published by them.

microsoft is gonna further profit from a new virtual playground of ~post-apocalyptic bombed out towns in the desert~ while contributing to creating bombed out apocalyptic conditions in gazan towns, by collaborating with israel on so many fronts that bds calls microsoft the most complicit company in palestinian genocide.
