Meta's data center contractor in Cheyenne, WY contaminated the city's reclaimed water system with a rare bacterium,before the facility has even opened. Goat Systems LLC dumped fill-and-flush wastewater with Cupriavidus gilardii into the sewer. Took 2 water plants offline for months. A #SheShed 🧵

@warren.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov and every Dem who is glazing Lindsey Graham, 👇this is what you should posting instead of our “fond” memories. Read the room. Silence is also an option.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

Just a reminder that “charitable foundations” are often used by the ultra wealthy as slush funds. The donors will still get their full tax write-off.

🤣

This is a damning overview of ways that Waymos have obstructed emergency response San Francisco. "In at least four cases, officials reported that emergency vehicles encountered stalled or stopped Waymos while responding to life-threatening 'Code 3' calls." sfstandard.com/2026/07/10/w...

Okay!! Yamal vs Doku is NOT Michael vs Magic!!! American soccer commentators need to shut their mouth!!! Please!!!

Might have more credibility if you weren’t a white male also reposting “well actually, Platner…”.

really think that if democrats hold any chamber of congress next year that a condition of passing a budget is the removal of russ vought, who has a genuinely tyrannical vision of presidential power and is a focal point of the lawlessness of the trump administration

Echoes of Brock Turner. A judge who doesn’t value women & a defense attorney who blames the victim.

"The Grim Chattertons" sounds like an Addams Family ripoff, but also is kind of an apt description of this tendency.

This is worth fighting for (ramen birria)

It’s New Foods Day for the Minnesota State Fair and this, to me, is the promise of America www.mnstatefair.org/new/food

good article www.newsweek.com/i-dated-grah...

I keep seeing defenses of Al Franken whenever the news highlights sexual assault by D politicians (Swalwell, Platner), the idea being that Franken is an example of someone who was unfairly treated and CLEARLY we memory holed that entire controversy. This was his SEVENTH accuser, a Democratic aide:

A developer made a browser extension called "Knockoff" that shows what a wasteland Amazon truly is by filtering out brands like "GODONLIF" "EHEYCIGA," ROTTOGOON," and sponsored products. Useful and illustrative even if you don't use Amazon www.404media.co/knockoff-bro...

"A Kentucky factory worker [who says he made $200k last year] says Ford fired him after allegedly stealing a $1.95 cookie that he actually paid for..." www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

I can't even fathom this level of idiocy. You call the globally famous Black man a monkey, he responds "Get a load of this racist! LOL!" You then delete the posts on Twitter & demand that HE apologize to YOU for calling you a racist. What???

Okay, back to watching the SJ Earthquakes then…

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.

This whole red card suspension thing is bad but truly do not understand the people feeling feeling bad for Pepi. He’s just as racist as Pulisic. He likes racist tweets and laughs at racist jokes.

As in 1066 England will prevail against the Norwegians before tragically losing to the French a couple of weeks later.

Me trying to explain to my non-soccer family what Cabo Verde pulling this off would be like

Come on Cabo Verde. We believe in you.

(🚨) So to be very clear, FIFA rules do *not* allow the USMNT to appeal the Balogun red card *on the basis of claiming the referee erred*. But. Under the circumstances, the USMNT should appeal on the very different grounds ESPN just reported on: misapplication of VAR protocols.

Subtle

I was not a great HS Track athlete but good enough to qualify for invitational’s where I regularly competed against future Olympic gold medalist and the daughter of an NFL Hall of Famer. Both are ridiculously talented so no surprise that I always lost.

Second apparently this was a close case for this Court. As it stands the decision is 6-3. In 1898 the Court’s decision protecting birthright citizenship, Won Kim Ark v. U.S., was 6-2. That means this SCOTUS is either on par w/or to the right of the 1898 Court - the same SCOTUS that decided Plessy!

The outcome is thus: 5–4 that the Constitution protects birthright citizenship for the children of all immigrants. 6–3 that Trump's order is unlawful (because Kavanaugh says it violates a statute, NOT the 14th Amendment.) www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The media is horribly missing the 5-4 part.

Tough day for colonizers

This might be in reference to a separate incident but local reporting says it was due to Weiner’s stance on Gaza. Weiner only recently acknowledged it is a genocide.

Some amazing quotes in this article about how Ford replaced hundreds of engineers with AI, which broke a bunch of shit causing billions in damage and forcing them to rehire those people. www.the-independent.com/tech/ford-ai...

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard members as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.

Starting to think Pulisic is actually bad luck for USMNT.

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

Tom Emmer is the reason I have been boycotting Target since 2010. Target donated heavily to Emmer's all-homophobia-all-the-time gubernatorial campaign. I NEVER forgive bigotry.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

A fifth of Leave voters have died.

Jaime Harrison - As party leader: • LOST the White House • LOST the Senate • LOST the House As candidate: • LOST to Lindsey Graham As a lobbyist, clients included: • Bank of America • Wells Fargo • Berkshire Hathaway • Big Pharma • Casinos • Coal • Electricity • Walmart Jaime is out of touch.

🧵 Thread: California is about to have a massive fight over taxes, housing, and democracy itself. Here's what's at stake and why the legislature needs to cut a deal by mid-June.

The women have won four World Cups, but absolutely congratulations to the men for making it to the knockout round. Yes, this is a reminder that the USA has, in fact, won a World Cup — four of them. In case you heard otherwise.

Found an AI amplifier account. Please block or mute.

Norway is banning generative AI for schoolchildren under 13 starting in September.

I wrote about the MeToo backlash genre of celebrity profiles where a rich guy who was “cancelled” over credible rape/abuse allegations wants a “comeback” despite facing little to no accountability. And for some reason we’re supposed to sympathize with his “plight” spitfirenews.com/p/armie-hamm...
