Former NFL star Chris Johnson revealed he has been diagnosed with ALS at 39

This is the one true recipe for a Reflecting Pool: 2oz rum, 4oz pineapple juice, 1oz blue curacao, one Blue Razzberry Fruit Roll-Up

cote d'ivoire vs curacao

This World Cup’s latest unlikely hero: Eloy Room, from spending most of 2025 without a club to dancing with the king and queen last night after his goalkeeping heroics earned Curaçao a precious 0-0 draw against Ecuador “I need a statue in Curaçao now” 🇨🇼 nyti.ms/3QrF9ch

oh look, a consequence www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

It's clear that Fox is trying to go with the CBS Champions League panel vibes with Alexi Lalas playing the Micah Richards role that everyone rags on. The only difference is that with Richards everyone is in on the joke and they seem to actually like him. Lalas, not so much.

Absolute scenes at the fan park in Lisbon when they equalised

“.. a political death sentence for Netanyahu. .. He has bet his own and Israel’s future on getting Trump to bring about regime change in Iran. That bet has exploded in his face.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/e14a...

The most shadow banned post in the history of posts lol

[turning on a world cup match] oh wow, cape verde, i wonder where that is [55 minutes later] if cape verde wins it will be the greatest day of my life

NEW: Meta is testing facial recognition for its smart glasses using software built by a Pentagon and police surveillance vendor with deep ties to the US intelligence community. My latest w/ @dmehro.bsky.social

Best Knicks celebration I took last night was Kool-Aid Man celebrating in Koreatown.

Will be adding it to this important and very juvenile thread later. bsky.app/profile/apil...

pretty sure zlatan is gonna strangle alexi lalas before this world cup is over

A hat tip to David Hockney from a few years back.

FUCK OFF WITH THE DRINKS BREAK ADVERTS.

Big fan of these South Korea fans necking a bottle of tequila with Mexican fans because they couldn't get it into the stadium. This is what the beautiful game is all about.

Hmm so Fox is using the "cooling break" to show ads. So that's what it's all about.

Incredible headline: No walking allowed in heart of Midtown for Monday's Knicks game

This map is wild

Meanwhile, the kids menu includes a hate crime against Gen X.

Incredible work

Telling SCOTUS that Alabama can’t push through its racist maps because it’s too busy honoring Jefferson Davis’s Birthday is perhaps the best thing I’ve ever read. That we’re here because Clarence Thomas ignored Alabama’s request for a SCOTUS decision by this morning is just the cherry on top.

Jesus Christ Im going to run through a brick wall

I seem to be repeating myself but Alabama has filed at the Supreme Court asking to be allowed to use a congressional map that a lower court said discriminates against Black voters.

Fun to watch Tesla and Musk fan accounts call my reporting wrong, only for them to ask Grok and have the AI tell them that I'm right.

@nycsanitation.bsky.social I’d like to report a sweep

NBC showing a 17th place finish over a trophy celebration is hilarious

I LOVE MY MAYOR

ZOHRAN IS HERE

FWIW, while it is illegal for broadcast stations to censor political ad content under FCC regulations, it *is* legal for cable channels like NESN (or streaming/digital platforms) to do so and take down Platner's anti-private equity ad. The FCC rules are old-world rules. adwave.com/resources/fc...

"But Falcons always blow up!" ...they very famously don't, they're the least likely rockets to blow up since spaceflight began as a thing, which is why they're used monthly to carry people without issue That's why NASA was pivoting away from LEO during, like, the late Obama administration

Me when I turn in a draft

Larry Bushart spent 37 *days* in jail for posting memes criticizing Trump and Charlie Kirk. His arrest was the crest of a wave of censorship after Kirk was killed. Now a Tennessee county will pay $835,000 to settle his First Amendment lawsuit, filed by FIRE. www.fire.org/news/victory...

Eze hahahahahaha

[quietly, so as not to startle anyone] knicks

Things you love to see: Union Berlin beat Mainz 3-1 which means Marie-Louise Eta is officially the first woman to lead a Bundesliga team to a victory in league play and in a European top level league @raecomm.bsky.social with the excellent commentary as usual

LETSFUCKINGGOOOOOOO

Looking forward to these friendly lads next week.
