Microsoft trying to jam a Teams link into every Outlook invitation is the thirstiest tech behavior

The kid’s journey from distracted to startled to recognition to delight is a whole novella

McConnell waking up in the hospital

It is nearly impossible to convey how badly Schumer fumbled the ball in Maine by hand-picking someone just like himself before any of the Platner stuff came out instead of someone who could win on Platner’s terms

“Nobility is the only irreplaceable job, and can comfortably sit on a substrate of mass starvation,” says Marie Antoinette, engineering the removal of Calonne

Every time I’ve been asked the last few days, I’ve said I do not know soccer well enough to have an opinion on whether it should have been a red card. I guess that’s the difference between me and this idiot

The Xbox division has two problems: (1) hard to sell hardware when you can’t get chips at consumer prices because of AI; (2) Microsoft spends so much on massively unprofitable AI bets that it is under huge pressure to cut costs in profitable/less-unprofitable areas

Yes, they will definitely hit 1B players a day by having no game developers and making no further consoles

Going from Dickey-Stephens Park (where his OPS is like 300 points below his road OPS) to PCL parks is going to be hilarious

Low of 35, high of 47 in central Norway today

Well, that’s too bad. 50 or so crosses and couldn’t find a header on any of them

I’ll bet everybody in California is rooting for Mexico except tech bros and the ag weirdos who put up the water signs on the freeway

Listening to this game at Azteca is a reminder that Met Life is a bottom-tier venue in this World Cup. Just boring and lifeless this morning despite an exciting match. So many better venues, especially the ones in Mexico plus Seattle and Atlanta

As a non-soccer watcher, it’s so disconcerting that the offense is often like “we’re in the red zone, but just to be safe we’re going to retreat to the 10-yard line and start over”

This World Cup we're being out-fanned on every level

Counterpoint: if you’re still using Twitter, you deserve every bad thing Musk is going to do with your data

At 15 I was a Robert Penn Warren nerd

It is weird that we celebrate our independence by simulating an attack

I would love to be at a game like this and you definitely cannot play baseball like this

What an exciting subsidy for the oil industry

Oh is it time for the playing of America’s National Anthem? youtu.be/bWXazVhlyxQ?...

My Canadian friends, you are facing a banged-up Julio-less Mariners and I predict that in three days you will be whispering that the Jays finally have righted the ship

My whole feed is people (baseball people, politics people, old friends) losing their minds about what a great game that was

What a great game and tournament from Cape Verde

As bad as FIFA is, the fact that you can watch people cry in joy multiple times per day during the WC is a treasure

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.

I harbor no ill will at all to Swift or Kelce but nobody’s wedding should shut down infrastructure or interrupt transit

Marinas?

If it’s so hot, why is he wearing a corduroy jacket?

I’ve been saying this since the move from CDs to iTunes downloads: I want to own things that cannot be taken from me

I hated Pamela Adlon’s character in Louie so much, and in such specific and possibly idiosyncratic ways, that I refused to even consider watching Better Things

Energy should be priced progressively

Palantir, an openly anti-democracy pro-literal-oligarchy company run by unstable people, is a supply-chain risk and should have its government contracts terminated

“Rapture,” Blondie, 1981

This guy full-on cooked his brain in right-wing media in the last few years. A full Fetterman

The policies coming out of NY? Is it the balanced budget, he bus lanes, or the grocery stores that the administration thinks require this threat?

“I heard a song on the radio, ‘I believe the children are the future.’ Let me tell you, that song is such a disgusting butchering of the Nicene Creed. I am a normal person who thinks normal stuff.”

Every state legislature should right now make it a felony to inspect a child’s genitals for any reason other than providing medical care or investigating an assault. No pervy sports officials or loser sports parents should have this power

You really have to wonder what she had on him to make him adopt such a transparent lie to justify pardoning her

Is there anybody on the Ferris wheel? I honestly cannot tell

Or administrative agencies

@itsjadynnow.com hey I’m just a rando who followed you from a starter pack (baseball maybe?) but I appreciate you and have been thinking about you today

My pitch for Supreme Court reform: 1. Every President *who wins the popular vote* gets to nominate 1 Justice in that term 2. Presidents nominate additional justices only if court is < 9 1/2

Surely now that conservatives have achieved their stated goal of protecting the integrity of girls’ sports they will leave trans people alone to live their lives. Right? Right?

The 11 a.m. Tuesday time slot is at the Great American State Fair is apparently not the most fruitful, as there are more musicians in the band than spectators. (The band, consisting of young musicians, including a heluva brass section, was quite good.)

Can’t say “Max Muncy single” in a post about Max Muncy doubles

Need to do this on Cuba as well. It might actually pass

Thought I would read Jaws as a change of pace and whoo boy that is a bad book. I wonder if Peter Benchley had ever met a woman before he decided to write down what he thought their inner monologues are

The real meaning of the birthright citizenship case is that wingnut professors can come up with any cockamamie bad-faith made-up argument they want and SCOTUS will bless it into the mainstream
