Harrison Ford: “Humanity is a part of nature, not above it. We need cultural change. We need to extend social justice. We need to respect and elevate the indigenous people that are being marginalized, and in many cases, killed in cold blood. The world you’re stepping into, the world my generation left you, is a real mess”

POWER PLAY FINISH 🎯 Marie-Philip Poulin nets her second goal of the postseason to push @PWHL_Montreal into a 2–1 lead!

Dubois nous donne les devants :) Dubois gives us the lead

There's no FDA, CDC, the FBI and DOD are lead by drunks. There's a psycho, Stephen Miller, ruining families with Nazi immigration tactics. The Orange💩 is charging tax payers $13million to turn a government monument into a resort pool. Gas is 4.60 a mile down the road. Groceries are about to skyrocket even more. MAGA CAN FUCK ALLLLL THE WAY OFF.

Respirator masks like N95s will prevent hantavirus infection. Clean air will drastically reduce hantavirus spread. We already have the tools, people just need to use them. Public health requires everyone’s participation. “You do you” gets people killed.

Trump fired every full-time health official responsible for investigating outbreaks on cruise ships.

take this to your grave turns 23 today. goated number like Jordan.

Even after more than a decade of this gibbering shit, I still find myself gobsmacked at how entirely, thoroughly fucken stupid he is. And incompetent. And corrupt. But mostly stupid.

Montreal finally score to end this game!!! 3 OT and a million shots later! One of the best games 🥹🥰😭🔥🔥🔥🔥

Religious people give money to the poor, thinking that God will return it to them. An atheist gives money to the poor expecting nothing in return. Who do you think is closer to God?

Fuck DJT

I can’t stress enough how unbelievably fucked this country is now because at least half the country voted for a warmongering pedo rapist felon to be president. If you voted for it, I hope you fucking enjoy it, you bitch.

Very well written essay on the MAGA voter. This is what we are up against. Sam is 61 years old and lives in a town where the Applebee’s closed in 2014 and people still mention it like it was a natural disaster. The old factory shut down years ago, but Sam keeps his faded employee badge in a kitchen drawer because he considers it proof that America peaked sometime around 1987, right between the release of Top Gun and the invention of low-flow toilets. He firmly believes the country began collapsing the moment they stopped letting people smoke in restaurants and started putting kale in things. He wakes up every morning at 5:12 a.m., not because he has anywhere to be, but because decades of shift work, untreated sleep apnea, and permanent low-grade outrage have hardwired his body into a permanent state of agitation. He shuffles into the kitchen wearing camouflage pajama pants and a T-shirt that says “I Stand for the Flag” even though he has not stood up quickly without groaning since 2009. He pours himself coffee strong enough to power farm equipment and settles into his recliner to begin his daily ritual of becoming personally offended by things happening hundreds or thousands of miles away. Within half an hour, he is enraged about crime in Chicago, drag queens in Seattle, wind turbines in California, and a college professor in Vermont he has never heard of and never will again. Sam spends most of his time marinating in an ecosystem of Facebook memes, talk radio, Fox News, chain emails, YouTube clips, and badly designed websites with names like Patriot Eagle Freedom Truth News. By noon, he has shared seven posts warning that America is under attack by socialists, immigrants, vegans, pronouns, electric stoves, and people who use the phrase “lived experience.” He believes every story because every story confirms what he already feels: that the country has been stolen from people like him and handed over to people he does not understand. Sam is absolutely convinced he is one of the last remaining “real Americans,” despite living in a county entirely populated by people who also think they are the last remaining real Americans. He misses the America of his youth, which in his memory was a magical place where every man had a factory job, every woman made tuna casserole, every child respected authority, and nobody had tattoos, gluten allergies, or opinions about gender. He is nostalgic for a version of the country that mostly exists as a combination of old pickup truck commercials, Toby Keith songs, and stories his grandfather exaggerated after three beers. His truck is the size of a military vehicle and has never once carried anything heavier than mulch and emotional baggage. His pickup truck is so large that small birds alter their migration patterns to avoid it. The truck has never hauled lumber, gravel, or equipment, but it does haul an enormous amount of political anxiety. The back is covered in bumper stickers warning that he is armed, angry, and deeply suspicious of the federal government, except for when it comes to Medicare, Social Security, highways, farm subsidies, police funding, veterans’ benefits, and keeping its hands off his lawn. He likes to tell people he is “not political,” which is impressive considering his entire personality has become an endless loop of cable news grievances. He cannot attend a barbecue, church picnic, football game, or grandchild’s birthday party without eventually bringing up inflation, Hunter Biden, gas stoves, “the border,” or how nobody can say Merry Christmas anymore even though literally everyone still says Merry Christmas. Then Trump arrived, descending from his golden escalator like a casino-themed prophet sent by God to sell steaks and grievance. Sam had finally found his perfect candidate: a billionaire from Manhattan with multiple mansions, gold-plated bathrooms, and a private jet, who somehow convinced Sam that he understood the pain of a man screaming at the self-checkout machine in Walmart. Trump was loud, angry, theatrical, and constantly under investigation, which only made Sam admire him more. Every lawsuit, scandal, or indictment was not evidence of wrongdoing. It was proof that Trump was fighting the deep state, the media, the elites, the globalists, the FBI, the Democrats, the RINOs, and possibly the ghost of George Soros. Every scandal, every lawsuit, every indictment, every accusation became proof that Trump was fighting the corrupt establishment on behalf of “real Americans” like Sam. At this point, Sam does not support Trump because of policy details. He supports Trump because Trump has become the human embodiment of his anger, nostalgia, confusion, and Facebook feed. Trump says the world Sam remembers can come back, that the people Sam dislikes can be punished, and that all of Sam's frustrations are someone else’s fault. To Sam, Trump is no longer just a politician. He is a lifestyle brand. He is a martyr, a warrior, a stand-up comedian, a victim, a patriot, and the lead singer of a traveling grievance festival. Sam owns at least three Trump hats, two Trump flags, a Trump coffee mug, a “Never Surrender” T-shirt, and a giant “Let’s Go Brandon” sign in the garage that he insists is “not political, just funny.” For Sam, that is not politics. That is therapy. Trump is not just a candidate anymore; he is an emotional support billionaire. He is a spray-tanned security blanket with a private jet. He is the gold-plated, fast-food-fueled mascot Sam clings to whenever the modern world feels confusing, threatening, or insufficiently patriotic. Trump gives him a ready-made explanation for every disappointment in his life: it is not aging, bad luck, economic change, or his own choices; it is the immigrants, the liberals, the media, the globalists, the vegans, the people with pronouns, and whoever is ruining Christmas this week. Supporting Trump lets Sam believe there is still someone out there fighting for him.

@thepwhlofficial Uhhh @pwhl let’s do something more serious for her actions? She’s again and again proven she’s a dirty player with a blatant disregard for rules. Get her off the ice for more than one game!

The PWHL today announced that Minnesota Frost forward Britta Curl-Salemme has been suspended for one game and fined following two separate incidents reviewed by the PWHL Player Safety Committee. 📰 bit.ly/4f1qDBH

@chisportsross Not sure how to feel about this… Hawks have been at same level as Bulls last few years… another play in team! Hoping he proves me wrong and can help Bulls.

(the Hawks are a very good organization overall and this could actually be a good hire but we are firmly in Wait And See Mode for the foreseeable future)

AK Part 2 just dropped. Another Executive Vice President. Which means the President is still Michael Reinsdorf. Which means nothing is changing.

Hey @T_Cloud4 welcome to The Sky! Sorry we’re a bit of a mess. But we LOVE you!! Plz help out our young players- they need a vet like you! Welcome to Chicago 💙. We value and respect your off the court opinions and actions as well! Solidarity to the max, don’t worry about that✊🏻

@robertawbb @TheSkyShowCHI @beta_basket @BlackRosieMedia Happy she’s here! Sorry the Sky are a mess… but LOVE Tash so much!

Natasha Cloud’s deal with the Chicago Sky is a one-year $555,000 contract, per her agent Fabio Jardine of Seros First Pick. @beta_basket // @BlackRosieMedia

You want to understand the last eighty years of American politics in one sentence? The owning class won the class war, convinced the losing side it wasn't happening, and then watched the losing side fight each other over the scraps. Immigration. Crime. Culture war. Race. Gender. Guns. Every single one of these is a real issue with real stakes for real people. And every single one of them is dramatically more consuming of working-class political energy than the question of who owns the thing you made with your labor, and why you have to negotiate for a fraction of its value, and why the person who made nothing from it extracts more than the person who made everything. That question, the only question that structurally threatens the arrangement, is the one that is never on the ballot. It's not on the ballot because the people who write the ballot understood Vietnam. They understood what happens when the right question gets asked loudly enough. So they made sure you're always asking a different one.

Have been obsessed with @NoahKahan and his new record is absolutely incredible… if only tickets to his tour weren’t sold out and over $600-$700 each resale LOL that’s ok, this saves me from crying in public. 😂🥹 Have a great tour, my dude. Well deserved.

Many of us wondered why Mercedes was ok letting Lewis walk… it’s because Kimi is the next Lewis!! And Lewis just doesn’t have it. Torch has been passed. Congrats to the kid! Team Mercedes babyyyyy #MiamiGP
