One minute, you’re young, fun, enthusiastic, and a real badass. The next, you’re turning down the stereo in your car so you can see better.

I’m a lurker in a friend-of-a-friend’s private Silicon Valley angel investor group chat where someone posted today in an attempt, I believe, to unload $70 million worth of “brand-new” AI data center hardware, with detailed specs, no explanation given. Chat are we cooked?

English spent like 90% of it's existence stealing words from every language and has like 4 words for each colour but every other member of your extended family is a cousin removed because coming up with words for all your relations is apparently too hard

My entire political philosophy boils down to “don’t harm children” Like, as a minimum basis for a just and livable society

I like this take even better 😏

If Britain doesn’t want Count Binface, can we please have him?

Best STAR TREK captain. Wrong answers only.

It turns out that FUN will pack the house and have a line queued up outside. I will bet a shiny nickel that Boudicca and Vercingetorix and Leif Eriksson were fun. At least one of them, anyway. It’s a helluva power.

Oh I see. They don't believe women, they believe Politico.

NYT: Ceasefire challenged as Trump terminates ceasefire

MLS starts back up week after next and NWSL is happening right now. Get to a game.

Haven’t seen anyone ask the real question at the heart of it all: was Mitch McConnell ever really alive?

definitely some historic geopolitical beefs about to be addressed on the soccer pitch this week

Well, sir, I want to see what whaling is. I want to see the world.

You skipped the part where his VP killed the pope.

352 days to the start of the World Cup

There’s never been anyone whose involvement more completely and immediately poisons vibes and destroys joy. No good thing survives contact.

Forget it, Guy. It’s Flavortown.

k but it is actually a little depressing seeing all the people on Twitter who are like “wow, soccer in the US is dead for a generation!” Hello? Have you met Triple Espresso? Have you gone to an NWSL stadium and felt the perfect vibes? Have you watched a Hal Hershfelt social video??????

well, at least next year we can all root for a team with four stars above their crest

Very 2026 for the USA to be both assisted by corruption and lose embarrassingly on an international stage

Not the day to decide to play like a mid-tier MLS team.

Having a dead guy in the senate feels like a metaphor for the whole institution

actress tilly norwood has been deleted after being found unconscious next to a script containing a mistyped wildcard. she was 0

The red card against Balogun was a bad call, but given the apparently corrupt circumstances under which it was suspended, the only ethical choice is for Balogun to voluntarily sit the match out. If he plays there will always be an asterisk not only on his performance, but on that of the whole team's

This has been the most spiritually bankrupt celebration of anything I've ever seen and that's it, that's our 250th. We don't get to go back and redo it, this one's in the books: Temu Arch, cheesy architecture, horrible displays, AI everywhere. Far right propaganda. Jokes at our expense

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

You know what would be the best birthday present America could get today.

Are our political and economic problems an anomaly or the predictable result of choices that were made and could be unmade? No one can ever know and frankly it's unpatriotic to even ask

Schadenfreude for true American patriots.

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

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.

almost as much of an American hero as Subway Hoagie Guy

At last, Trump is being indicted for his crimes *presses earpiece to ear* wait, what —

Trump is not America. He's anti American. America is eating birria with some randos on folding chairs in the parking lot of the Food 4 Less watching the world cup on a flat screen wearing my knock off Mexico jersey.

Oh the South Side of Chicago Treats their faith like it ain’t no joke And if you’ve apostated, you’ll get excommunicated By a guy named Leo the Pope

happy 4th of july to just this man, specifically

I mean it is very on brand for him! "I hate Catholic Nazis"

Woke, but with bayonets.

Happy "Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and the 20th Maine save the Union" day. BAYONETS! youtu.be/KBowND4qACI?...

"Well, we can't run away. If we stay here, we can't shoot. So let's fix bayonets. We'll have the advantage moving down the hill. They got to be tired, the rebs. They got to be close to the end as we are. So fix bayonets. Ellis, wait. Ellis, you take the left wing. I'll take the right."

Make sure to shout "BAYONETS" as loud as you can today in memory of our abolitionist heroes.

Your reminder that Joshua Chamberlain thought it was a moral imperative to fight the Confederacy but he didn't have any background as an Army officer, so he was like, "Hmm, I should study Casey's Infantry Tactics and Duparcq's Elements of Military Art and History", and that's how he beat Longstreet.

My best post about the Confederacy bsky.app/profile/prof...

Happy “liberal arts professor helps save the Union” day to all who celebrate

and sadly, for some of us, it grinds to a halt there too

The camps appear to be people concerned with the ethics who don’t think it works and people who think it works who aren’t concerned about the ethics. For me the truth is that it’s increasingly clear that it’s intensely powerful, does work AND has a lot of serious ethical questions around it.
