If England wanted to play some real mind games, their walk on music would just be the audio from GBBO’s “Mexican” week. Make them hear “tortilla” with a hard “L”

Yup. Grab a Lucozade, have a little stretch, and get ready to root.

Truly love how Cabo Verde came to *play*

I’m not proud of this joke but… …the Socceroos have bounced back.

Son can be a phenomenal player but he has always worked best in a partnership and the coach seems insistent on playing him solo. No, *you* are screaming at the Korea-South Africa match alone in your house.

the chuds do not understand what makes this country great but this country is great and we cannot give up on it

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

someone on tumblr said it better than i could

What. No. No no no. The whole POINT of the feud is that it is based on nothing legitimate; the families are "both alike in dignity" so there's no power differential. wtffffffffff

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

"But the principle is simple: When a public resource generates wealth, the public should share in that wealth. A.I. is being built on a public resource far more valuable than oil: the accumulated knowledge, creativity and labor of mankind." www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/o...

I believe it was @eringloriaryan.bsky.social who once said to me, maybe a decade ago, that the stock market is astrology for boys. This headline, published three hours ago before Iran said "you either get to bomb Lebanon or you get sub-$10 gas," has done nothing but confirm that. It's all vibes.

It's June

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

Here's a video explainer for the now THREE federal book banning bills that could impact EVERY PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE NATION.

Call your reps! These book bans are nationwide and specifically anti-trans--and that's bad enough, but it will also be used to justify many more book bans in the future. We know this because history.

📢 Exposure to MMA in Orange County right now is low if you evacuate. Leave the zone now to stay safe. Stay out of the area until given the all-clear. https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPA/Pages/CAHAN/Information-On-Methyl-Methacrylate.aspx #GardenGrove #Evacuate #OrangeCounty #WeArePublicHealth

I am capable of nuance because I believe that genre is both made up and also very important with equal intensity.

This is the kind of juice I want in my microblogging site.

I was not online at all but my brother left two unlabeled CDs in the car in 2007 and I spent the next year blasting All Day and Night Ripper on a loop. Only learned they were Girl Talk when I was in grad school.

okay god damn

this is absolutely worth remembering: when the abolitionists began the struggle against the slave power, the slave power looked unbeatable. they fought anyways--a long, difficult, often thankless struggle. they fought anyways.

a really cool proposal here from justin briley to not just break the court, but break it up--to reconstitute it as a random panel drawn from the circuits for each case www.liberalcurrents.com/break-up-the...

“I don't understand what it's supposed to do. Every time I see a video on Instagram that's like, 'Hollywood is cooked,' what follows is, like, the most stupid dog shit I've ever seen in my life…”

So much of the “male loneliness epidemic” is men refusing/lacking the ability to develop into full people with personalities and interests.

If this survives a SCOTUS challenge, we will all need to say “mahalo“

the right people is all the people. make voting mandatory. if we can all get called for jury duty, we can all fucking vote.

Yes. I’d go all in on this. Honestly I think if we win the house or senate I’d shut down the government in 2027 until there’s a ban on partisan gerrymandering attached to a funding bill.

update: this is a sickening number of billionaires to have on this earth and it should be our goal as humanity to eradicate them. think about it - there are more billionaires than white rhinos, kakapo, and wild axolotls combined.

The first shot in the war against experts; trying to replace a doctor with just some guy.

The actual problem is 1) Democrats have popular policies but the country never hears about them due to right-wing propaganda; 2) Democrats constantly blame themselves and their base for this —a message right-wing media amplifies, making the problem even worse.

This is me with range of movement stuff because I *can* move stuff a lot farther than I *should* so which do they want to see?

Ok. We all had our day to talk shit and be angry. But it's Wednesday now and I'd love to encourage the kidlit community to focus on our real fight. There are now 2 book banning bills introduced on the federal level. 7661, which we largely know about but now 2616, too. It's call your reps o'clock!

It's not an easy choice for a teenager to make. Refusing to serve in the IDF has ramifications for your higher education & any job search, forever (not to mention any kind of career), & carries an *enormous* social cost, often from within the teenager's own family. "Right" doesn't mean "easy." 2/

Many people are saying.

I teach this in my IP law class b/c when asked in an interview who owned the patent, Salk replied: "Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?" He looked for vaccine solutions his entire life…including a quest for a vaccine to prevent HIV from becoming AIDS.

A great way for Magic Con goers to show their support for workers at WotC.

@kikidoodle.bsky.social hello! I have a very random question about cats. Has there been any research into the possibility/ethics of crate training cats? I know with dogs it’s a somewhat natural behavior because they are den animals but I am less familiar when it comes to cats.

@petersokolowski.bsky.social do you happen to know if there is a different word for a nickname that is a shortening of a name versus one that is more distant (ie how nicknames for Margaret could be Marge or Peggy)?

@jessesword.com do you happen to know if there is a different word for a nickname that is a shortening of a name versus one that is more distant (ie how nicknames for Margaret could be Marge or Peggy)?

@gretchenmcculloch.com I don’t know if this is a linguistics question but do you happen to know if there is a different word for a nickname that is a shortening of a name versus one that is more distant (ie how nicknames for Margaret could be Marge or Peggy)?

@bcdreyer.social, do you happen to know if there is a different word for a nickname that is a shortening of a name versus one that is more distant (ie how nicknames for Margaret could be Marge or Peggy)?

Well the thing is, if you COULD write for an audience and guarantee a living, we all would. But even hacks starve, so you may as well do your own weird shit.

Evergreen advice.

Early education is important infrastructure! Such a joy to read to our kids with my sisters @aoc.bsky.social and @wutrain.bsky.social at Horizons for Homeless Children in Roxbury today.

I don't think this is how matching funds are supposed to work 🤷🏻‍♂️

“Social media influencer” and “popular with boys 14-24” okay that’s all I need to hear, judgment for plaintiff.
