The fact that he covered his nuts elevates this to comedy heaven

Eat shit Argentina

Justice had been served. Well done, Spain!

Argentina score twice in 5 mins now, right?

Finally

Spain is a team of 11 midfielders, and Argentina is a team of 10 bastards and a genius — and it doesn’t make for great telly

If Argentina pull this out somehow it will be a crime against sports

Friend just showed me this

Hate it when this happens

so wait you basically can’t even use your hands at all unless you’re the weird guy at the end

It’s mad to me that Spain have been this dominant without scoring. It’s a thing that bugs me about football

I'm watching in germany. The German commentators kept quiet for nearly the whole thing until suddenly the shot widened and we just hear with a German accent, "Oh, Miss Piggy"

Respect to Rooney 😂

They should let England and France play ten minutes during halftime.

What the fuck is happening in this half time show

The world waits with bated breath to see if it's "0-0 decided on penalties" or "1-0 VAR Messi Bullshit at 90+3"

The movie "The Odyssey" is great. But if this was 1992, we would all be listening to the Bryan Adams power ballad hit "Making My Way to You (love theme from "The Odyssey")

“Team that scored first have won 6 of the last 7 finals” that stat means NOTHING for this game and I’m a little mad that it sounds like it’s informative

(guy pointing at the first toaster) is this a bread witch

Could Excel be conscious? We surveyed more than Jan 1 1900 people to find out.

[guy who’s only watched yesterday’s game] why is nobody scoring

Oh Fox, you rascals

I've posted a preprint of a philosophical paper I've written on the relationships between understanding, prediction, and compression, based on a talk I gave at SPAN 2025. Now in press at Synthese. philarchive.org/archive/POLUPA

Good night Bluesky

on this day in 1995, scientists discovered bisexuality. happy 31st birthday to all my fellow bs

Dang they really got a category for everything

Praise be! It’s the 112th anniversary of the first custard pie thrown in someone’s face in a motion picture

When the country you're a citizen of ceases to exist: "What followed was not a dramatic event but something far stranger. Nothing happened. My status remained unresolved for years, then decades." An essay from our partners at Global Movement Against Statelessness: globalvoices.org/2026/07/17/n...

This is kind of hilarious. Terrible, of course - but also very funny

Random question again: If perceptual experience is based on the optimisation of an internal model (or controlled hallucination), why the optimisation process can't solve myopia, for e.g.? Myopia is a relatively simple optical issue that an optimised internal model (w/ priors) could solve. Why not?

Looking for recommendations for papers about eco psych/embodied cognition that make some argument about the state of the field students could evaluate in an essay (something in the style of Hommel et al’s ‘Nobody knows what attention is’)

My son’s excellent joke: Hey Dad, do you want to hear a six word short story about a baby with massive feet?

deeply annoying that creative breakthroughs don’t come on schedule from direct work but from things like “open-ended conversations with interesting people” and “doing nothing”

“If we just accept that AI dominance is inevitable & all we can do is “educate” people, we’ve already given up the game. These technologies are built on a series of choices made mostly by very wealthy white men. We can make different choices.” - @evangreer.bsky.social rabble.ca/technology/e...

New map projection just dropped

It’s ok everyone, the physicists are here to sort this out

Very nice but WHY LORD, WHY PHYSICISTS AND NOT [check notes] Philosophers of Mind and Cognitive Psychologists?

Gibson 1979 remains a key resource. He gets into a lot of these specific issues. Some friends and I have been running a journal club on it in podcast and blog form - links here

Wow, this feels very weird. One reason I like Marvel over DC is their stories happen in real places, and NYC is of course THE place. Marvel not physically being there just sounds wrong.
