In which a member of the Texas State Board of Education advocates for major revisions to teachings on Nazi Germany while repeatedly struggling to pronounce "a really long word that starts with a K." The word? Kristallnacht – "the Night of Broken Glass."

Eat overpriced stadium food with a World Cup tax on top of it? Nay Posse on Broadway

Do. Not. Use. Fucking. Sticker. Mule.

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

Honestly, don’t spend your life getting upset about the latest superhero movie.

i wrote about finally leaving the giants behind: sundownmotel.ghost.io/quitting-the...

the next democratic president and congress should revive the idea of world's fairs. the idea behind this would be great if it hadn't been planned and executed by a group of incompetent groyper shitbags

Um... Yeah, no, waters is right. "threesome with two girls who are into each other" definitely isn't a common male fantasy

The missing giraffe, who claims to be poor,

It was news in Texas when Dan Patrick first started saying this in the 2010s. Now disagreeing with it would make you an outsider in the Texas GOP.

It’s beautiful.

It appears that the Mises Caucus faction that hijacked the Libertarian Party for Trump no longer has the money to pay their minions, now they are sending out emails begging for volunteers to work their table at FreedomFest in exchange for a convention ticket. Wonder why the money dried up now…

Idk, maybe it's just me slowly pupating into a beautiful old man butterfly, but when people say things feel "off" now, this is kinda what i'm talking about. this is just really shocking stuff, and if you said it even during the Bush II admin, you would be out of politics, out of a job, etc.

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

Lin-Manuel Miranda took a roadtrip with his son to visit a 17,400-pound ball of twine in Darwin, Minn. The sculpture once held a Guinness world record and was referenced in a "Weird Al" Yankovic song.

CBS staff, you have one job and that is to incept Bari Weiss into believing she can win over Isaac Chotiner.

A thing that has been true for well over a decade (maybe two) and still doesn't make its way into the head of the typical "Blue" State Enjoyer is that cities in the American South have socio-political geographies that look ~identical to urban areas in the rest of the country.

All of the immigrants they hate are better people than they are.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

you know sometimes i don't like having an active imagination

The USMNT fan base definitely doesn't have the emotional tools to process that game. We're gonna be a mess until Wednesday.

If the US beats Bosnia, no one will care about that game. If the US loses to Bosnia, I'm sure we'll be able to link everything back to this game.

I’ll be a wreck next week. Right now, lol, lmao, this is great. The USMNT just played a meaningless game at the World Cup. Fuck yeah.

every day i am more thankful for chris richards

I like Weston McKennie and also I like that his name sounds like a small midwestern crop insurance firm

USA! USA! USA! Who is this team??? Love it!

Why in the world should sex have consequences?

Talk about your rotated side.

This is the core of my recent writing: too much techne, too little phronesis. Jones's statement is technically competent, but practically unwise (yes, the math is correct. That's exactly the problem!). You can't put "extinction" and "everyone gets richer" on the same scale and call it rational.

is james woods the best actor who is also an absolute fucking maniac?

Hi! Palliative Care Doctor here! I'm seeing a lot of people reacting to this like he's wrong, but this is correct. In America, unless you are under 21, you cannot get concurrent care which means you functionally "turn off" your regular insurance benefits when you activate the hospice benefit. 1/?🧵

Lunacy. Here's Emmer 10 years ago.

Great piece from @masnick.com: the more you look at this decision, the more it looks like a judge working to lock people up for authoritarian regime

Knowing nothing about a sport and having no rooting interest rules, because my kids wound up becoming die-hard Ecuador fans in the last half-hour, this win is the greatest moment of their week, and they will completely forget about it in five minutes

Dude empathy is at an all time low (if it even exists at all) This is just one of many comments I've seen on recent layoffs or closures. It's fucking bleak out here.

Owed people information. I'm awake,body is mostly working today yay. Got ahold of the neighbor I thought this was this morning. NOT THE SAME TREE. His is ANOTHER case of this. So far it's looking to be 100ks. I can not update you on the first tree. I will share the other Tree tea as payment though💅

”Please, please, please stop us from competing with each other.” This is 1980s stuff, like Jerry Reinsdorf found his old diaries or something.

They accidentally blew up the Toyota Stadium pressbox. If that's not a metaphor for MLS's attitude towards media coverage... www.nytimes.com/athletic/739...

here's the thing about Popeyes it's not that Popeyes is good fast food fried chicken it's that Popeyes is good fried chicken full stop -- there are many cities, towns and neighborhoods in which Popeyes is the best fried chicken around it's an American miracle

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Republicans literally siding with cancer is a bit on the nose.

We wanted to understand why a Jewish candidate defeated another Jewish candidate in one of America's most Jewish congressional districts. So we talked to three Evangelical Christians at a gun show in northern Idaho.

The FTC case against WPATH has been reassigned to Judge Reed O' Connor with no reason given. DOJ is starting to centralize all of their investigations under O'Connor in NDTX. The federal courts are a joke.

This report does not use the number $25bn once but otherwise decides to annualize the revenues of AI companies to make them seem larger, and even adds in compute. Precisely engineered to support a narrative, deeply suspicious intelligence.exponentialview.co/assets/ev-st...
