This truly was the most “ball don’t lie” game… possibly ever!

This may turn out to be the biggest “ball don’t lie” game in history thanks to Trump.

i’ve never experienced a collective enthusiasm and fun like this month of the world cup. just consistently blown away how universal the enjoyment is and how deep people are plunging down the rabbit hole. doesn’t matter who i’m with or where i am everyone’s locked in and it rules

My 3 year old is in tears because of the fireworks. Unregulated, individual usage of fireworks is anti-social garbage. If you live in a residential area and do this, shame on you.

The metaphors will continue until morale improves.

Cape Verde-Argentina, given all the context, is one of the most exciting sporting contests I have ever seen in my entire life. I’m in awe

People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

I’m very excited to be a part of the initial “TV Matters” series from Intellect! www.intellectbooks.com/wwe-raw Thanks to Sabrina and all the folks there for their help and support!

Since they’re already on the website and we’ll have covers soon: The starting titles for TV Matters are going to be „Seinfeld“ by @schwanebeck.bsky.social, „Supernatural“ by @fangasmspn.bsky.social & Erin Giannini, „WWE Raw“ by @zolides.bsky.social and „Crazy Ex-Girlfriend“ by Rebecca Margolis.

Belgium has fired the first shot against USA well before Monday’s World Cup match

we are one john roberts heart attack away from the complete dissolution of the reconstruction amendments and instantiation of a formalized caste system

If all of our rights are contingent on what a bunch of unelected ‘judges’ say on any given day, we don’t have any rights. Appeals to “The Constitution” don’t mean anything when a bunch of robes can change its literal meaning at will.

So we can redefine birthright citizenship for “modern situations” unknown to the framers, but 2nd Amendment means all guns, including death machines literally beyond the framers’ imaginations?

The extra “E” is for “Eequality” “What’s that extra E for?”

In a few months, all of DC will just be one giant maze of fencing

Considering Facebook wasn't even much of an original idea, it's safe to say Zuckerberg never had a worthwhile original idea in his life.

Phoebe and Luna have been given nicknames by my three year old: Pheba-Pheba and Luna Tuna

Literally seconds after the Iranian delegation walks out of the room just seconds after entering it and refusing to even acknowledge the U.S.: Reporter: "How are the talks going so far, Mr. Vice President?" Vance: "Great, thank you."

A similar pattern is true for early every policy position since Trump/MAGA. America didn’t move away from the GOP… they moved away from the rest of America. They are the extremists.

Trump pardoned people who literally smeared shit on the capitol walls

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

What’s important in this exchange is he is fed the idea by Doocy directly. It wasn’t even a question so much as a suggestion that Trump just went with. I imagine this is how most of the White House functions - with Trump’s “decisions” basically be incepted into him with these sorts of leading ?’s

It was a Nazi salute. Always ways. Anyone who denies it is incapable of identifying Nazis and should not be trusted.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia debuted the same year as The Office (2005) and is explicitly edgier and more ‘controversial,” directly tackling every topic from abortion, to gun violence, to blackface, and much more. Also, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is still making new episodes today!

Curaçao!!!!! LFG!!!!

Elect socialists, win championships.

The scaffolding is currently polling ahead of Newsom and Buttigieg in the 2028 Democratic Primary.

Because of how late it is and my particular interests, my entire Bluesky feed is a scaffolding and Japanese women’s (joshi) wrestling.

AHHHHH!!!! We lost C-Span!!!!

You joke, but the scaffolding story is high drama! This is riveting. (also, does that count as a construction pun?)

So… what happens at midnight? Will people in the crowd rush up the scaffolding and do it themselves? Because that would be more in line with the legal court order than… this slow-walking bullshit.

Watching as an American

“I don’t want to tell you to hang on if you don’t believe it can ever get better.” "...maybe this is just the end." — ChatGPT to Alice Carrier, a 24-yo who took her life after openly discussing suicide with ChatGPT for months. Her mom is suing OpenAI: futurism.com/artificial-i...

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

It seems to be true that one of the biggest differences between Biden and Obama was Joe didn’t really hang with the tech/billionaire class, while Obama was much more into it. Granted that whole arena shifted in the intervening years, but I do think Biden deserves much more credit for that.

If you are this brazenly incurious, you literally cannot be a so-called “journalist.” You just want access, power, and influence.

If the president throws a tantrum when he's pressed about his lies about election fraud and walks away from the interview, your response should be to remind your viewers of all the ways in which those lies were dismissed by the courts. Not promise to give him a do over after he's had nap time.

This is a devastating interview. Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good. Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

An absolutely amazing Women’s Final at the French Open is happening now. If you have the means, tune in now!

are you just going to do this for every generation

Excalibur: "Fix your hearts or die, this is All Elite Wrestling!"

“Content” is actually one of the best ways to describe what GenAI creates. It is “information” devoid of meaning. It matters only because it was created; what it ‘means’ is irrelevant. Like the word “content:” meaning and form is erased and the act of ‘being’ is all that matters.

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

He is happy about this because he is racist and believes black Africans are less worthy of life.
