MSFT laid off the Elder Scrolls artist who designed the Khajit and the Argonians. She has been with the franchise for 27 years. When she started work there the guy who would eventually helm X-Box and lay her off was 9 years old.

The President of the United States is a Russian asset, and has been for decades. Leading up to the 2016 election I lost friends over this. Some people thought I was nuts for saying it.

if fdr or lbj proposed their domestic agendas today theyd essentially be in the same camp as the dem socialists vs the center-center right in the party. im not sure what point you think youre making here.

two of the palest fan bases on earth are about to descend on south florida in july

Our food is still better and nothing can ever take that away.

I cannot root for a team that has a fucking wonderwall sing along after sorry 🥴

100 years ago.

this was one of the best goals I have ever seen in my entire life and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

This is so good ….the second I heard that number I hoped someone would do this because …the number cannot be real? Right?? Anyway you MUST read this

*the coolest shit you've ever seen* FIFA Ref: ...offsides

*sigh*

This is a weird one but stay with me. It seems that Steve Bannon, John Solomon, Cleta Mitchell, and two top officials at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence are forming a plot to subvert the midterm elections by declaring Chinese interference in US elections as a national emergency

Enid, Oklahoma's public water wells are right next oilfield waste injection sites, due to lax oversight by regulators. And it's not just Enid, @propublica.org + @readfrontier.bsky.social found 114 injection wells less than 1/4mile from a public water supply well www.readfrontier.org/stories/to-p...

gamehistory.org/87percent/ 87 percent of all classic video games are lost media, only existing in physical media long since forgotten and stashed away in storage or literally no longer extant, yet to be or possibly never archived.

One thing you can see with the reaction to birthright citizenship decision is that Great Replacement Theory is now pretty much the center of the American Right's whole project.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss...😂😆🤣

Court can't go on like this. The Constitution as plainly as possible says people who were born here have an unequivocal right to citizenship. Four people whose ONLY job is to read the Constitution for the rest of their lives just tried to overturn it because they're tired of brown people. Pack it.

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

Yes please

This is not JUST RFK Jr.s fault. He's the final nail in the coffin. It's also useful to note several countries have lost their measles free status (UK, Canada) without RFK jr. Mexico is on a similar precipice as the US. Focusing just on RFK blinds us to the anti-vaxx landscape.

The fires affected millions of people in the region. It could take years to understand the health consequences, but ongoing research is helping to prepare people to weather the next fires more safely. From the NPR archives.

I just don’t feel like we talk enough on this website about “So I Married An Axe Murderer”

She needs to be haunted by the ghosts of women past starting with Anne Boleyn.

I will once again point out that Games needs to operate more like that film industry (Unionized). Shopping a game requires large staff. Preproduction small. There’s always been layoffs after shipping a game and the industry should be structured in a way to sustain this reality in way fair to workers

one of the things i learned under bush is that conservative legal theory isnt a real thing. they just make things up to limit progressive power and give conservatives strength. its been like this for decades. meanwhile liberals play by a system of rigged rules.

This is a terrible disaster. Magnitude 7.5 earthquake in Venezuela, minutes after another M7.2. More than half a million people exposed to “severe or violent” shaking, and best estimates suggesting tens of thousands may have been killed earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

The terror spreading across the country this a.m. because in some more progressive corners of the US progressives won elections is telling. The reason the reaction is so over-large is because progressives unlike centrists and the right, are the only group who pose a real threat to established power.

Trump is trying to shift the decision about who gets to vote from the states to his administration, using benign sounding rules changes. There’s nothing more important to be aware of right now than this. Details here: substack.com/@joycevance/...

While we are here Quick Trip is better than Buccees Go Fight with a wall….(of frozen drinks)

Know what TV show actually wouldn’t get made today? The Twilight Zone. Half of these fuckin’ episodes are about fascism.

the year is 2030 and you need a face scan, retinal scan, voice scan and to answer 20 questions about your family, health and employment history every time you use the computer. but don’t worry your personal data is safe with Butterfingers Corp in partnership with The Dark Web

The *actual* dead economy risk is that our institutions and markets will continue to move capital from productive activity into memestocks, vibes, and bubbles. 19/

Tony Bourdain taught us all that a place is full of good food, good people, and good experiences despite very shitty politics and I think it’s kind of classically American to have thought we were excluded from that Venn diagram

Hi, we saw you from across the bar, and we'd like to give you health care.

I stand by my belief that no teams outside of LA should be able to use Kendrick for intro or incidental music.

We have A Situation brewing in this Dodgers game. Worth tuning in, maybe.

after trump won, it was sad and a shock. but both times i just couldnt understand the democratic response. it was retreat instead of war. im tired of cowering before these fuckers. go to goddamn war.

if the knicks win for the first time since 1973 we're bringing back subway graffiti and kicking out all the oligarchs investing in unused midtown terrace lofts. times square will revert to its natural roots as a porn emporium

It’s also why Yankees fans should hate Fat Joe and why the dodgers have Ice Cube bobblehead giveaways lmao

I went to Utah to see what life is like in America's new reality, where vaccine-preventable diseases are common again. Utah's measles outbreak has lasted 10 months. Pediatricians teared up in interviews. Mothers were stressed. 🧵My latest @wired.com @kffhealthnews.org www.wired.com/story/anguis...

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

the main problem with video as a format is that it's too slow at dispensing information. I can read much faster than you can talk and there's no way you can address this without becoming incomprehensible to most of the audience.

The Texas Tribune found at least 248 data center projects in the works across the state, and mapped them all. Incredible resource! www.texastribune.org/2026/06/08/t...

Sorry but the way we vote in L.A. makes no sense. Every registered voter is sent a ballot, votes, drops them off, and then an army of workers methodically and with full transparency works through them to ensure there are no mistakes and you get a text and email if there's a problem? That's fucked.
