Home. The dog has totally re-accepted me. The cat is still in hiding.

Raising the public coffers and spending taxpayer dollars on pretend schools.

A group that advocates for private school funding programs estimated that last year, states allocated $10.6B to these programs, up 29%. One company encouraged churches to tap into public funds, calling them "God's new gold mine."

Imagine watching your neighbour's house burn down and, instead of helping, complaining about the smell of the smoke.

This is a crazy game

OMG. 4-3.

France appears to have woken up.

Holy cow, England! 3-0 after 36 minutes

I understand that France and England are playing for second loser today.

Remember, both the Iliad and the Odyssey were originally audiobooks.

We have a winner for today

He spotted a sports relic in the thrift store. It’s about to make him rich. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

This little guy is called a cattle tyrant. He lives in Brazil and eats bugs off of cattle (and capybaras).

Does the military have any idea how stupid "warfighter" sounds?

Again, folks nothing about how the US is ruining the game...

I heard that Trump is attending the World Cup? I assume he intend to award the cup or something? I want to hear the booing all the way out here from Seattle.

Trump administration allows killing of species threatened with extinction Gift Article www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

p.s. the idea that the increasingly widespread and damaging wildfires can be explained away by "fire suppression" practices etc. is an old denialist frame advanced by Trump and GOP: www.newsweek.com/lies-climate...

Ontario's jails are using an artificial intelligence tool that disproportionately places Black prisoners in maximum security The government anticipated its tool AI would produce biased outcomes, but used it anyway My latest @breachmedia.ca investigation breachmedia.ca/black-prison...

I can't. This is barbaric and ghoulish and cruel. And should be a crime

This is terrible and heartbreaking. These kids will end up broken and ignorant

Read about Trump's attempt to deport someone as a terrorist based on secret evidence, which @seamushughes.bsky.social discovered. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Dumb question for #ai people. Are the big players working at all on improving efficiency and energy usage? The overall architecture seem pretty kludgy looking at it from the outside. Seems like efficiency should add or more important than more and more expensive compute.

Finally, my lifelong avoidance of salads is paying off!

@jvl.bsky.social @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social @timmiller.bsky.social I heard that there was a Seattle show coming up and that JVL would even be coming. I can't find any information on it anywhere.

This is unquestionably a war crime.

Head to block an account just now for being constantly tedious about idiotic generational definitions.

Wow. Putin and top Russian officials oversaw operations to spread allegations about Joe Biden and Burisma, working to "orchestrate a high-profile corruption scandal" against the Democratic nominee and "ensure the President's victory," and the president in question was Trump himself.

For those fans offended by hydration breaks and halftime shows complaining that the US is corrupting the game. Not that none of it happens without FIFA agreement. They could have said no.

This man has no business being in any position of power. If confirmed he should be impeached immediately.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

And yet, still not as stupid that those who voted for him.

Why?

This is the right way to frames this not the Taco Bell clickbait

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

Luttig: As a candidate for attorney general of the United States of America, Blanche is an embarrassment to America itself. If the Republican Senate confirms this man, based on his record, to be the next attorney general, it will mark the end of the rule of law in America.

Exactly this. Cheating it breaking an oath was once considered unforgivable.

Temu Goebbels needs to look in a mirror.

I've seen nothing in the IRS about what the US is doing to help our colony of Venezuela post earthquake. What is Viceroy Rubio doing?

Starting the long haul home. Heading to the Cuiabá airport in a bit. Be back to Seattle tomorrow noon. A great trip.

You would think that the fiber would have specified that judicial review was a thing when they defined the courts. But no, it was intuited by SCOTUS as necessary. And it was allowed to stand.

@countbinface.bsky.social - the bin to clean the mess.

A woman I dated in cooked in the 70s would beg to differ

I'm no Taco Bell fan, but the problem is the supplier, not Taco Bell.

Trump is saying the 2016 election (when Obama was president) was fair, and the 2024 election (when Biden was president) was also fair, but the 2020 election (when some guy named Trump was president) was a piece of crap.
