Polonius: This above all: To thine own self be true! Laertes: What, in THIS economy!?

Trump is preparing to fire the leadership of the Smithsonian Institution, one of America's most prestigious scientific and historical research and education organizations. He wants in particular to censor the Smithonian's American History exhibits:

PSA to Americans discovering Haaland: Do not become Man City supporters, they are the BAD place 🙅🏻‍♂️

Can we have Cape Verde back?

It's been a truly shitty past few days.

Actually it’s fine to root against your national team when your government is doing terrible things including being shitty hosts for the tournament your national team is playing in.

Since 2021, 82 Flock contracts have been canceled across 28 US states — nearly half of them during this year alone.

I wish sports broadcasts had an alternate audio track of just the crowd noise without the TV announcers.

We are all the Coor’s tent.

Rockapella where are they now?

It turns out that the most unbelievable part of Independence Day wasn't malicious extraterrestrials intent on destroying humanity, the most unbelievable part was that we'd cooperate to defeat them. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/24/h...

There's a lot of bad things in this world, dude. Like fucking skunks, dude?! Hell no. Scratching your eye but it's still fucking itchy, dude?! Hell no. Like getting paid not a lot of money, dude For fucking working?! Hell no. But Cape Verde at the fucking World Cup dude?! Hell yeah, hell yeah bro

Juxtapose: a studio where you get photographed in two clashing articles of clothing.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Swiss attempt own goal to uphold neutrality

Actually it’s fine to root against your national team when your government is doing terrible things including being shitty hosts for the tournament your national team is playing in.

“…if we win this site fight, is this data center likely to be relocated outside the US? This internationalist frame should be part of political education and public facing commentary so that anyone in the US opposing a site in their locality will stay activated to oppose it in other places as well.”

Back on my bullsh

Why do I watch this sport

Instead of a red card for cover-mouth-talk it should be a free retaliatory headbutt. #WorldCup #Zizou

Why they no boo Infantino in the stadium?

After seeing how Paraguay’s keeper handled those penalties, he absolutely would have kept that disqualified German goal out if he hadn’t been pushed over.

ICE’s tactics are evolving. AI, surveillance tech, and corporate greed is driving harm beyond the border. Join @conmijente.bsky.social, @justfutureslaw.bsky.social, & Surveillance Resistance Labs on Monday 6/29 @ 7 PM ET to break down their newest report. secure.ngpvan.com/Jfq6AaFDNEmP...

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

CBTAAS: Closing browser tabs as a service

I went a little further and O Holy Shit I am falling on my knees!!! youtu.be/mA2N4Z9coHY

Enjolras didn’t know shit. Our little lives are all that count.

People said Occupy was a failure and it ushered in 15 years of actual political engagement on economic inequality People like to call BLM, Abolish ICE, etc failures and, no. Spontaneous mass protest moments rarely win immediately. But they change the political environment and lay the groundwork.

That pool was like, if you can get through 250 years without EVEN ONCE adequately reflecting on your flaws and mistakes, I'm shutting it down. No reflections for you!

Maybe allow a multiparty system to flourish before getting mad that people want more from the only opposition party with representation.

Reproductive health clinics have been closing at alarming rates since the Supreme Court ended federal abortion protections in 2022. Every time a clinic closes, patients lose access to care, but that’s not all: Whole communities lose their comprehensive care providers for future generations.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Why do they call him Lumumba you ignorant spectacle chasing motherfuckers??

Which part of “permanent resident?”

So we’re going to spend the US’s 250th anniversary talking about the US’s inability/unwillingness to reflect? That’s actually kind of perfect.

Has anyone done gender distribution of fans by country at the matches?

Do the Fox announcers get a bonus every time they say something nice about Messi?

It’s such a bad look when a player is writhing on the ground and his teammates are just standing around. Like, either they’re acknowledging it’s a performance or they’re assholes incapable of compassion for an injured comrade.

They mocked Google Glass and look how that turned out.

Calling global majority games really brings out the colonizer in English announcers

@mostlyinane.quest how many times will we get to see Jagath Picklington get scored on this WC?

If the ref forgot his cards in the locker room he should just tell someone instead of making it awkward.

That was vicious from Messi, wtf! And English announcers with nothing to say about it other than “a little kick,” then lauding him for checking in on the Algerian player.
