I have such a visceral reaction to this, full-fledged somatic revulsion.

if that wasn’t the goal of the tournament… my god what a beauty

would it be uncouth to point out that the US has a talent literally 100 times larger than bosnia?

Now we appeal the Balogun suspension in the Northern District of Texas

I live with an Englishman. send good thoughts.

MAGA’s reaction to the birthright decision is wild. Every single one of them acts as if SCOTUS invented birthright yesterday. The people who claim to love America with the heat of a thousand sums and the wood of a thousand boners are incensed that nothing changed.

I stopped teaching Constitutional Law 15 years ago because what's the point.

Burn It All Down has said it from the very beginning and will say it until the moment we stop: trans rights are human rights trans women are women, trans girls are girls sports are better when they are more inclusive, never when they are less 🩷💙🤍🔥

birthright survives.

My darling Meemo, rest in peace, who got it right years ago.

jesus christ, that racist perry johnson ad calling john james a “lying liberal loser” is nasty af.

Ford fell for the AI hype and had to hire its engineers back after realizing their value. Sounds like a happy ending, but treating your employees this way will always be bad for a company and for society as a whole. www.the-independent.com/tech/ford-ai...

Another one in the genre of “this professor, which is me, teaches well, but the others are blinkered ideologues.” Reminds me of the study where a huge percentage of physicians thought all other physicians took pharma bribes, but they would never.

look at el-sayed beating florida man.

Happy for Cape Verde. Just lovely.

Our board is comprised of Trumpists. Dishonest, shameless, look-after-your-own.

Turkey is going home no matter what, but this has been satisfying so far. Fingers crossed.

"Acker said he wanted to be accountable, and fellow regents thanked him for showing students what that looks like." That would be a defensible statement had he not denied the allegations until he could deny them any longer. bridgemi.com/talent-educa...

Does anyone know of Comrade Tripp? He’s bloody hilarious, and I feel retroactively deprived by not having seen his clips earlier. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BNw...

highly enjoyable read www.theguardian.com/football/202...

indiana had this one thing going for it?

over on twitter, they have decided that the US can beat the Netherlands easily

Hey, JD, Israel isn't the only country with just one friend left. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

I’m being inundated with ads for dog food at prices that would pay for a small apartment, but what I’m really curious about is that all of them talk about “picky eaters.” I have never met a dog who was a picky eater. The occasional disdain for bananas, sure. But picky? a DOG? Can someone shed light.

Thanks a ton for this! Everybody, a ton of anti-AI writing all in one place, ready to be bookmarked

Since JD is a midwit who thinks he’s the smartest guy in any room, and everybody knows it, and since he’s charmless and unloved, it’s exceedingly easy to set him up, and Rubio is apparently smarter than I thought.

Geez, when some guy attributed a book I co-wrote to my male author alone, he had to do that by hand. Artisanal discrimination is dead.

i brought back 10 pounds of dark rye flour from Germany. nothing better with cheese than proper rye bread. this one is 60% rye, 40% bread flour.

Ghana player lied (or had lied for him) on his visa application to Canada about pending rape charges against him. Canada denied him entry. The US did not, even though they have the same rules against issuing visas to people charged with serious crimes. www.nytimes.com/athletic/736...

my lemon tree, doing it all at once.

apparently today is the day when bluesky comes together to defend the honor and virtue of cheetos.

peanut butter. nasty.

Question for everybody who graduated college in the US: how much do you remember about the commencement speeches?

evergreen

Yes, thank you, I am good with this being the most diasporic Cup ever (and they always are) - just look at these goalscorers. The best part of tourny so far is footballers showing us the fiction of national identity. #swe v #tun

Dems blowing the biggest bipartisan political opportunity of this cycle is just wild. How incredibly depressing.

openly calling for extrajudicial executions now.

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

Every damn time we learn that they started by brutalizing the women they claimed to love and took it from there

I hope this is not true. “We are finding (V-4’s) address if we don’t have it already (so I can) drive my car into it,” Korkaya wrote. “(V-4’s) entire family is now on my hit list.” “Lets get (V-4’s) kids bruh ...,” Feyock wrote. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...

Consequences for FIFA would be nice, too. They couldn’t even get themselves to mildly protest.
