If a small museum can manage it, big places can.

July 5, 1975: Arthur Ashe becomes the first Black man to win the Wimbledon singles title.

Like you're looking at this objectively beautiful altar, absolutely and completely bedecked in silver. More silver than you've seen in one place in your entire life! And after I get over the awe of it, I'm just sitting there thinking "how many bodies were broken in a hole in Mexico for this?"

I’m a resume writer. I wrote an article that was about my writing process, and the reasons I don’t use AI to write. I posted the article to Reddit. Several people claimed that I used AI to write the article about not using AI. Some ran it through an AI detector with mixed results.

A single black woman surrounded by hooded white supremacists is certainly a chilling image.

“Respect her privacy” Nothing private about using a well-established public venue, in one of the busiest heavily populated areas/cities, DURING A NATIONAL HOLIDAY WEEKEND. Now traffic is affected. People are affected. Because of a privileged billionaire who can get married ANYWHERE.

South Africa became the first country to withdraw a national policy document after officials discovered the text was littered with fake research citations generated by AI https://restofworld.org/2026/government-ai-hallucinations-south-africa-deloitte/?utm_campaign=row-social

Yeah, sure, let's ban social media for under 16 but force then to use genAI in schools. Makes total sense.

This little boy’s parents told the doctor he was still breathing. Police officers did the same, and the doctor pulled rank. He pronounced a child dead & sent him to the morgue while he was still alive. The parents are facing charges. The doctor hasn’t even lost his license.

One of Argentina's goals was an own goal but we'll see if FIFA acknowledges that.

Love and respect for Cabo Verde. This loss hurts but they made it so far in their first ever World Cup.

I don’t think I’ve ever been as proud of a team as I am of this Cabo Verde team. What a remarkable performance. One of the best games I’ve ever watched. I’ll never forget it.

Here’s an idea for the crafty folks

Maxi: down to ankle or lower usually flowy sundress: right below knee or higher also flowy People decided to call the body fitting TANK dressed sundresses but they really arent

I once spoke with a transphobe who was absolutely convinced that every top ranked women's tennis player was secretly trans. The Williams sisters, Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka...all trans. Their evidence?

This whole end of physical media thing is really affecting me. It’s not just having the disc - it everything around shopping, hunting for things, spending time with buddies. None of it matters to business but it makes me question why I bothered getting into the gaming space at all. Really sad.

If Belgium is famous for its waffles why come it doesn’t have a single Waffle House?

That sort of advice is in the same orbit as folks who told millennials to stop buying avocado toast in order to do things like pay student loans, buy homes, and start planning for the future. The problem wasn't the avocado toast: it is a financially unlivable world.

In response to the folks who replied to that post about the rising costs of groceries by saying shit like "just cut out chips and candy," I have the following to say: Go fuck yourself. For a more thorough response, see below.
