Sports are a universal language, one of the last "third spaces" that we have in an increasingly digital world. Do you know someone who follows sports like Xiang? #football #soccer #documentary #film #nonfiction

Whenever I see an AI slop ad all I can think is “This product is so terrible they literally cannot PAY someone to say it’s good.”

A number of Jewish organizations are shrilly insisting that any criticism of Israeli genocide and warmongering is an illegitimate attack on Jews. At the same time, an increasing number of non-Jewish people are insisting that any attack on Jews is a legitimate attack on Israel. This sucks, man

So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

From out indefinitely with mononucleosis to Super Bowl champion. Anything is possible.

Joint Dickson/Myers Super Bowl MVP?

Candiace went on tilt and fell apart at the table. #TheTraitorsUS

why does he think he has the charisma to pull off being this much of an asshole, the raccoon ass eyeliner eyes makes him come off as an Ivy League educated fancy lad who sold his soul to a literal devil to get on an eating club waiting list

The behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do

here in LA it's really quiet but that's also how it sounds after a big Rams win

It's a stupid penalty and it was stupid to draw the penalty.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

proud to announce that i have just discovered the most needless thing that has ever existed: a pop-up ai summary of the nfl sunday ticket chat window that's open to all viewers

Leo Messi finally wins the one trophy he's pursued his entire life: MLS Cup. Now officially the GOAT.

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

[email protected] brings together Obama’s sense of ‘us’ and Bernie’s honesty about a ‘them’ who profit when we’re divided. In a city where the whole world lives side by side, the closeness of so much difference reminds us how much we share and how empty the politics of fear really are.

I've never in my life doubted the Seattle Mariners

When Florida sends its people, they’re not sending their best.

AAUP v. Rubio is out, and look at how it starts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This whole section really.

one of the weirder parts of this wave of total surrender of core civil liberties is there is no fucking reason for it. no world war 2, not even a 9/11. we're just bored and mad

I'm not "doing nothing" i'm acting as a 'control' for social science experiments.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

Hard to think of a more on-the-nose encapsulation of how far the online speech wars have swung in the year of our lord 2025 than major U.S. corporations racing to fire people whose tweets offended Milo Yiannopoulos

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

In case it ever comes up: I am categorically opposed to political violence and assassination. It is both morally wrong and almost always ineffective at achieving positive social change. It is, bluntly, a net negative for society.

Guy who shrieked about tyranny when they closed Applebees during a pandemic: Mr President sir I saw a homeless man downtown today please send in the 82nd Airborne

"literally the only people who uphold any conservative principles are liberals" is a huge part of the story of how we got here, too — because they'd constantly do it *even at the expense of liberal principles*

ROTHROCK >>> MESSI

Someone get these absolute crashout crybabies back to Fort Lauderdale before someone gets hurt man god damn

There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

There are a whole lot of people in media who hold opinions that they know will ostracize them from liberal polite society and whose entire output is now explaining to liberals to drop their objections to those opinions, not for them obviously, but because "the voters" demand it.

JD Vance and other pedophile protection party officials are holding an emergency meeting tonight over their strategy on the Epstein files. This cover-up is a disgrace to Epstein’s victims. The American people deserve transparency and accountability. Release the Epstein files.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Part of my answer to "how'd we get here?" is an elite, institutional culture deeply opposed to calling bullshit. To do so is uncouth, uncivil, biased. Stated rationales must be taken at face value. There's no such thing as bad faith. Questioning motives is wrong. It's just debate, have some respect.

My basic response to the question of pronouns defaults to, "Why would I speak to someone in a way that hurts them on purpose?" A lot of people - maybe most people - in this country apparently don't feel that way, and I guess I'll just never understand that.
