So for a weekend follow-up to my AmericanStudying "Indian Wars" blog series, five pop culture representations through which we can trace how images of both Custer & the battle have evolved over these 150 years, from the 1884 painting Custer's Last Fight to a 1995 John Hiatt song!

Just another reason to believe that the most powerful man in the world is bonkers.

After watching Belgium v Iran, I suggested that BEL need to attack more centrally if they want to win. Image 1 is v Iran (0-0). Image 2 is v NZ (5-1). Image sources: @futi.live

The most important antifascist program to build at any and all scales is full employment. A free-floating buffer stock of jobs administered locally connected to a tap of public money creation. Not tax-dollars, not “borrowing”—money creation tied to a locally administered public employment option.

It's the Cristian Roldan propaganda app now

Facts

How BP Execs Influenced a Climate Study That Shaped a Generation of Global Policy The oil giant sponsored an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels, handpicking scientists aligned with their interests.

This is crucially important for everyone to understand.

"...The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat..." Harry S Truman, May 17, 1952.

What’s crazy is what didn’t happen to Trump after he lost an election, encouraged an unsuccessful coup, and wasn’t brought to justice for it. Ultimately, that’s Biden’s legacy. And Mitch McConnell’s.

Cannot say enough good things about this app. If you want real data that are native to the aport that tell deeply rich stories, and not weird, mostly useless analogues from 🏈 & 🏀, get @futi.live

Good riddance.

holy shit this game is going to be dope

I've made the mistake of listening to a lot of Peter Thiel interviews recently to try to understand his worldview. The guy is an absolute third-rate thinker who contradicts himself every 30 seconds and nobody pushes him on it.

The political story of this era is a petulant, narcissistic generation demanding to ruin a future they will not be a part of. Pulling the ladder up behind them wasn’t enough; their arrogance and vanity demanded more.

KDB’s been my guy for more than a decade, so getting to see him play and rooting for Belgium have been amazing. But not nearly as amazing as this:

Am guessing his buddy kept 7 and kicked back 10 to the trumps.

Salah posting a shirtless selfie walking the streets of Spokane, WA is so funny

Saw this in my grocery’s check out stand. My thing is, this white house *is* fringe. @chrislhayes.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social

This is so awesome. I was trying to explain why I was so annoyed with Anderson’s play but had neither the language nor the data. @futi.live to the rescue.

Me: turns on fox broadcast of NOR-SEN Donovan: here’s how the world cup is a different experience Me: 🦚

Perfect time to read this!

Wow.

This is a rhetorical question, btw.

This person must be listening to the fox broadcast.

What Republicans say: "I think the president is getting bad advice." What Republicans mean: "I think the president is a fucking moron and I'm too big of a pussy to say so."

Seattle I had the time of my life. @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com is the 🐐 host. Shout out to everyone that pulled up

Why I so appreciate @atrupar.com’s work:

EXCLUSIVE: Pulled together, details across four UFC plot affidavits portray a Christian extremist movement. But I tracked how law enforcement's explicit references to Christianity and religion vanished by the time top officials addressed the scheme. And how badly they're missing the target.

Check out @futi.live it's a good soccer app (unless you're a goalkeeper)

Meat wall incoming

BEHOLD! I give you CONCACAF.

Pretty interesting thread.

Nation Proud Of Self For Watching, Enjoying Original Movie

Love this little video of what it was like outside Lumen yesterday. My buddy and I were in Pioneer Square. That waterfront watch party tho- amazing. youtube.com/shorts/QR9q5...

Not my state having to warn our World Cup tourists about the potency of our weed. LMAO 🤣🤣🤣

Stephen Miller: "I can't call Talarico a man. Who knows what gender he is? He's a weird, strange, bizarre, totally unelectable human that is never, ever, ever going to be the senator from the great state of Texas." When it comes to Miller, every accusation is a confession.

#USMNT got supporters rockin'n'rollin' in Seattle Stadium! Even with the flag up, Freeman's header tops the list and fans went WILD after the VAR overturn! Here's how Seattle #FIFAWorldCup goals stack up so far. Stay tuned to see how next other matches stack up to the USA goals!

One of the #1s sure lived up to its rating today, and surpassed it. www.nytimes.com/athletic/737...

As usual, PRO has a page going where they're listing tournament assignments for their officials proreferees.com/2026/06/11/l... #FIFAWorldCup

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

It’s a national embarrassment.

In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Generally, “elites” - at least the top 1% - don’t care much at all about basic decency.

MAGA stands with Iran

After this Iran deal fiasco, are Republicans still going to claim that the addled dementia patient in the WH is some kind of master deal maker / tough guy / brilliant strategist? I suppose when you are this far into the con most of them have to ride it out to the end.

Seattle. Literally has a song written about it.
