I guess this explains why he hasn’t been at AEW in a while too.

Check this shit out motherfucker [I go on a bizarre ban spree and crash my website, its not clear what kind of feature I was trying to vibecode]

Also, Teapot Dome blowing up mostly just turned on one man standing up.

#OnThisDay in 1965 - Ernesto Cisneros scored the historic game-winner for hosts #México as it defeated #CostaRica 1:0! The victory sealed 1st place in the Concacaf Final Round, qualifying El Tri for the 1966 FIFA World Cup in #England before 64,276 fans at the Estadio Olímpico.

Great sign for the GOP in the midterms when they'd rather talk about skyrocketing gas prices than Trump's cult-leader blasphemy

The Coldplay lad’s World Cup halftime show agreed with Infantino could mean the biggest match in the world’s most popular sport could be disrupted for as much as 30 minutes between the first and second halves. Imagine what that would mean for players on the biggest stage of their lives. And for why?

And no one thought Trump could do it!

I have this in queue to watch after the Liga MX semifinal, but Darby Allin’s championship run has been incredible to watch, week after week after week. That is TRUE dedication to the craft!

Watching a local story & hearing from immigration attorneys about DACA applicants who applied 4 months ago not having renewals, making them lose employment status. If they work, they violate status. They are criminalizing people by not processing their documents.

ICYMI: The Baffler is hiring an Associate Editor and an Editorial Fellow. Apply by Monday, May 18.

At SoFi Stadium — ahem, I mean *Los Angeles Stadium* — for the one-month-out press event for LA’s World Cup host committee. Opening match is June 12, just one month from today! Signage is still visible inside and outside the stadium — FIFA will be requiring a “clean” venue starting tomorrow

How high are gas prices? The Air Force's official charity was offering $150 gas grants to help airmen and guardians, starting today through Friday. They ended it after the first few hours because demand was so great.

You read about how complicit the liberal media was with the ascendance of the national socialists in Germany and it's difficult to comprehend. The thing is, I see it now and it is still difficult to comprehend. To be this stupid and gullible. To be this incompetent. To be as complicit as this.

Some people would absolutely devastated to know how little is digitized for preservation and how little will continue to be digitized. Why? Because MONEY AND LABOR. And digitization for preservation isn't the same as digitization for ACCESS...

do you understand how historical research works? Search engines are only a part of it. I use physical indexes, and physical sources in three out five archives I frequent. And that is not going to change.

I think that’s as tense as I’ve ever experienced a stadium

It truly amazes me how the NYT just does not think smaller publications are worthy of being cited in its pages.

PS: @lapressclub.bsky.social hasn't increased dues, award entry fee, or ID-card fees in 20+ years. $104 for dues+ID now less than LAPD pass. And goes to nonprofit providing reporting grants and scholarships. Our ID has same legal weight as LAPD's when unlawful assembly declared. @nppa.org's too!

- Woods argues that “it is more appropriate to discuss plural Cultural Marxisms,” and that these form “not a generic conspiracy theory but, rather, an ever-changing combination of narrative elements that possesses different meanings and functions in various political contexts.”

Scheduled maintenance? The message I received suggested otherwise!

The team worked incredibly hard on this one.

We live in a time dominated by deeply unserious people making deeply unserious arguments in support of tragically serious results that serious people would have both avoided and known to avoid.

Media people really need to get their heads round the changes in government comms since the US fully shifted into competitive authoritarianism - anything out of the WH is primarily intended to game markets and generate wealth for insiders, not to inform or serve the people

Looking forward very much to this new exhibition at @museunacionalartc.bsky.social on José Rey AKA whose sketched watercolours powerfully depicted the street fighting against the military coup in July 1936 and the ensuing revolution in Barcelona. 7May-31Dec www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

The American Revolution was primarily a revolt against monarchy, but it was also rejection of aristocracy. I feel like the country is due for a revival of that old anti-aristocratic sensibility because today's huge concentrations of intergenerational wealth and power are bad for everyone.

Anyone else remember a website that was dedicated to World Cup history that may have launched in conjunction with the 2014 tournament? I recall it being called "EveryFourYears.com" or something similar & being intentionally low-fi.

What a day! And what amazing tacos!

Our 17th Annual TACO MADNESS has officially come and gone, and what can we say other than: Thank you! And congratulations to our winners, Los Dorados LA and Tacos Los Cholos. The full recap: lataco.com/taco-madness... By @afroxander.bsky.social

The House of Representatives is supposed to be the <one> actual majoritarian institution that we have in American politics. Every single other one - the Senate, the presidency, SCOTUS, independent agencies like the Federal Reserve - are deeply & intentionally anti-/counter-majoritarian.

The Archie Comics writers before my time were wildin’ out...

While we're on the subject, all these right wing guys write "best-sellers" because it takes about 10K pre-orders to be number one on the NYT list your first week, so their rich patrons just buy palettes of their book and voila, John Q. Nazi is a NYT #1 bestselling author. But no one read his book

Hell yeah.

We don’t talk enough about how weird—just weird!—it is that so many GOP and admin officials spend so much time just standing around the Oval watching Trump do stuff. All of these people have jobs! Sometimes important ones! But just being the awkward backdrop of the Mad King’s rantings matters more.

The claim that he has served three terms as president -- not the usual lie that he was elected three times, but that he has actually served three terms -- seems to contradict the claims that he passed the dementia test.

SCOTUS ruled yesterday to make it harder to challenge racially discriminatory voting practices. If you want the most accurate up-to-date information about the ruling and what it means for the future of voting rights, subscribe to Democracy Docket:

Today was a tough day for democracy. The Supreme Court gutted the VRA -- the crown jewel of American democracy. But, I built Democracy Docket for times like this. Always pro-democracy, never backs down. Support by subscribing today. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

THREAD. There's a notion going around that the problem with the legal system is "technicalities" allowing bad people to go unpunished. Right wingers say it's how immigrants stay in the US. But some lefties say it's how Trump became president after his felony convictions. 1/33 THREAD

I know this is about games journalism, but I got the same thing in j-school from two faculty mentors who explicitly warned me about this. And then every Black faculty member who found out that race was a sub-area for me ALSO warned me about this in philosophy.
