Did Leni Reifenstahl write this?

Platner is what happens when self-hating liberals buy into the conservative critique that Democrats are too woke, elite, educated, white collar, feminized, multi-racial, LGBTG, and/or “soft.” It’s an implicit and self-hating rejection of the belief that inclusive diversity matters and has value.

Stop whatever you're doing and read @bryce.lol on Morgan Stanley's coverage of SpaceX: www.ft.com/content/09a6...

A stronger "HR lady" element in Dem politics would've nuked Platner sooner but instead a bunch of credulous & insecure dolts with podcasts & substacks just had to let their masculinity issues give Dems a candidate who imploded less than a month after winning the primary.

earth when no podcast

Watching Neymar’s and Ronaldo’s World Cup careers end on back to back days.

Ronaldo screaming “I’m back” after two goals against Uzbekistan and then scoring one charity penalty before being knocked out of the Round of 16 again is my highlight of the World Cup unless he gets arrested later.

not for nothing, but a guy who roams around the bar he works at drunk and shirtless would be a personality red flag even if the tattoo were three arrows

Notice that the US wine industry association is officially in favour of trying to coerce access to Canadian liquor stores rather than opposing the coercive US trade measures that directly causes the import bans in the first place. Trumpists all the way down

To borrow from @qntm.org and @scpwiki.com, I'm increasingly convinced there's an antimemetic entity that erases all knowledge of Goodhart's Law from your memory the moment your job title includes the words "Chief", "President", or "Minister".

Everyone else (wisely) getting their FIFA Corruption stories out while The Bad Orange Man soaks up the heat. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

A lot of us who thought Sepp Blatter was FIFA hitting rock bottom on corruption really look like clowns now lmao

Get their ass, Belgium.

When have FIFA ever bent the rules for a host country they were politically cozy with except for in 1966 and 1978 and 2002 and 2018 and 2022 and 2026 and 2034?

Paraguay to the World Cup audience:

@nairoingreen.bsky.social has a spiritual successor

Filippo Ganna good lord

donald trump appoints faceless giant wearing ill-fitting suit to head Federal Bureau of Control. in a prepared statement, the Director made white noise so loud it burst the eardrums of every member of the press pool

The world’s best three-week French (and this year Catalan) tourism commercial has BEGUN

important to revisit the words of the Founding Fathers on this day

Zeus has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

In 2017, the Ottawa Fury had 2 players from Cabo Verde. GM Julian De Guzman said that in 10 years, the world would be talking about Cabo Verde, as he saw it as an undiscovered hotbed of football. Was he ever right about that.

Andrés Cantor: “Stand up, ladies and gentlemen, and applaud them both, victors and vanquished…”

That was incredible

They’re gonna put Cantor in a bacta tank after this, my goodness

Argentina faking injuries to play for time against *Cabo Verde* this is incredible.

You could’ve given me 200 guesses who officiated and I wouldn’t have gotten it.

WE ARE LEVELS OF SO FUCKING BACK LONG CONSIDERED IMPOSSIBLE BY SCIENCE

the Telemundo announcers pronunciation of Mo Salah's name is wonderful: musssala

THE TOUR DE FRANCE STARTS TOMORROW !!!!!! #TDF2026

Ronaldo Haters getting Christmas and Easter on the same night! It’s a miracle!

Was just thinking that. The "bravery" is that everyone knows it's the right footballing decision but Martinez will be deluged by abuse from Ronaldo fanboys if he does it.

If your fairground doesn’t have a log flume ride that has a history of giving cholera to anyone who rides it, I’m not interested.

“What are you going to do, excommunicate me?” - Bishop excommunicated

this is, in fact, exactly what I believe is happening on paper, the 6 bishops have now excommunicated themselves by doing this. Leo can twist the knife with a formal declaration if he wants. (Francis did when he did this to a similar dick in 2024.) “what happens to the priests” is the next question

HOLY FUCK WHAT A GOAL

I can think of no more patriotic way to observe Canada Day than getting in fights with PSPP supporters on Reddit.

Presumably some corner of City Staff could see that there were 5-6 figures of unpaid property taxes attached to this web of developers, which begs the question of why that never came up.

This is OBSCENE The developer who demovicted dozens of tenants from a heritage building at Bank & Nepean was being pursued for *$65 MILLION IN DEBTS* when the City of Ottawa rezoned the property to let the developer build a luxury condo No condo was ever built and the property is now up for sale

Every time Ezra Klein does a good interview (most recently Chris Hayes) his NYT contract requires him to immediately follow it up with two or three absolute howlers.

Bonding over shared experiences with firework mishaps will be a significant component of the proposed US-China Uncle Exchange Program, and will go a long way to reducing tensions between the two powers.

I need to know the Ethiopian Orthodox Church's official position on which NBA 2K game was the best one.

The whole thing has big “really shitty Epcot” vibes

Consistent with a theme I've noticed in progressive policymaking, where advocates/policymakers assume that the only acceptable policy intervention is one that carries no possible tradeoffs, and that there are surely no tradeoffs associated with leaving a horrendous status quo in place.

When Mark Driscoll showed up in the second paragraph I knew I was in for A Time.

"Did you hear about the NYC DSA candidate's tweets? Like she was—" You wake up. You are not online. It is the year 2026, and you are the German World Cup team goalie. You and Ecuador are tied and oh fuck you spent too much time arguing with the people in your head and Ecuador just took the lead

"If they make that choice, I'm sorry, but we must move forward"
