Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

Once again, is this the behaviour of a FIFA Peace Prize winner? On the eve of the World Cup no less. I need a fucking drink.

Perhaps one reason why NYT keeps running these, "but voters in this rural Ohio town still support the President", is to sustain the fantasy that people deeply aligned with Trump live somewhere else and are not all around us and already empowered as the leaders of critical institutions

I really want to support Qobuz because they are the best platform for actually paying artists but the app is janky as shit. Skipping songs or randomly cutting out for no reason. Get your shit together.

Hitting ALL my erogenous zones

If it's a crock of shit you must acquit

Welp

I don’t think this was all that big a deal since he is an NFL journalist but fuck me it’s refreshing to see a genuine, unqualified apology. Good on him

Pound for pound, @404media.co is THE best tech journalism going. Cheap at twice the price. It’s proof that we can have better, we don’t have to put up with the regurgitated press release stuff that other outlets do

Sometimes all it takes to make a bad day better is a top tier shitpost and today this is it

"Pronoun police"? Please. The proper term is the gendermes.

what do you think it's like to process thoughts in this way

Good on this gal or guy for asking this. A beer is on me if you’re ever in Scotland buddy!

The Nelson Muntz presidency

Holy shit. Three fucking years man. I dunno, what the hell are we doing here?

I do a lot of drugs because the richest man in the world is an open Nazi and there is nothing I can meaningfully do about that

"Isn't there someone you forgot to ask" and it's a guy who doesn't live in LA and has only even been back in America for like a week

Absolutely this. Firstly because it’s the right thing to do but secondly because we already have a refereeing recruitment crisis. Who the hell would take that abuse when you know that your own colleagues won’t stand up for you even in the most obvious fucked up circumstances?

Literally all the referees, including the American ones, should boycott. But nobody will because most people excuse racism unless it's happening to them personally.

Still the absolute king of horror writing. 4 words, just chilling.

It’s not really applicable here but I’m gonna post this one because it’s funny

How the fuck is this real? How?!

In 2023, Indonesia were stripped of the under-20 World Cup for refusing to allow the Israeli team entry. Fifa's justification then was the vague "due to the current circumstances". Quite a contrast to the hardline "FIFA is not involved in host immigration processes" now.

lol. Lmao even. This is going to be such a shitshow

screworm outbreak is another good opportunity to remind americans that government is what protects us from things like this and not the magical free market. want safe food? government, bitch.

“If you are someone in the executive team of any major tech company, know that your employees are, for the most part, completely and utterly miserable.” A-fucking-men @edzitron.com. We HATE this shit. The force-feeding of AI into everything is crushing morale like nothing else

Once Elon Musk did an apperance at a Dave Chapelle show in San Francisco and was booed so fiercly that colleagues called the cops for a wellness check and if New York doesn't out-do that tonight, then what are we even doing here.

If any other president had said "I"m going to destroy demand for liquid fossil fuels by permanently increasing their cost; wipe out America's cattle herds; spur the biggest wave of investment in renewables in history through energy insecurity" Congress would shut them down. Not this one!

We are at the stage where an Iranian politician promising to issue a statement on the situation would move the market much more, which is kinda embarrassing

I see we are reaching the FO part of trumps little FAFO in the Middle East.

Jolene is probably the single greatest lesbian love song of all time

And then he'll post about it on a website rigged to help Nazis and post non-consensual pornography.

The fact that human beings can fly is a goddamn miracle and yet somehow we’ve turned it into one of the most unpleasant travelling experiences possible. But sure, it’s probably the taxes.

They really rebranded price gouging and made it the bedrock of the entire consumer economy.

This is a great point. I’ve largely ignored the Platner discourse for this reason.

This is a reminder that if you don’t live in Maine, YOU do not need to make any “tough choices.” And so your decision to hop on this app and defend Platner is just plain and simple misogyny. Half of you never said his name until you could use it to justify violence against women.

Important to stress that: a) Pelley isn't some resistance hero, he's a reactionary centrist; b) Even this wasn't enough for Bari

My kingdom for an edit button. The amount of typos I make every day is scurry

As a non-American I can’t comment on this, but no city embodies this more than Paris. You can go there, but you ain’t a Parisian. End of.

Yes. You know what is an even better approach?

“I’m accused of being a sexist for my normal political views.” Which views? “Oh, you know the ones”

like this is unconscionable

Interesting way to avoid saying that an Israeli occupation soldier shot a 7 month old baby

This is so true. Every film I’ve seen there, even ones I’ve been meh about, the overall experience has been fantastic

Everyone hates red tape until they find half a mouse in their red velvet cake

All this uWu smol bean crap irritates me greatly: you're selling food for the public to eat, someone should be checking that it's safe and sanitary.

This is a good piece that raises important questions about UK gov procurement. However, I think using Palantir as the case study is not helpful because Palantir IS the problem. A company dedicated to toxic citizen surveillance is bad, regardless of whether it’s UK-born or not

People talking about the SpaceX IPO and not mentioning stuff like this are deliberately misleading their audiences imo

Anthropic warns that Charlie Brown could have hoes by Q3 of this year

i added some more names to my starter pack of people speaking for trans rights in the uk it's still short, worth a 'follow all'/ share go.bsky.app/8TE1E4D
