Looked through the ingredients list on a Taylor Farms bagged salad I ate last week and what an odd feeling it is to try to manage terror while you’re reading words like “cauliflower” and “kale.”

Getting the chance to call Jon Fetterman 'diet MAGA' today on CNN felt great, ngl: lthomas.substack.com/p/i-called-j...

Connecticut, the phony New England state. Just annex yourself to New York and get it over with already.

This month, we published another article revealing that MSG kept a database of VIP event attendees, labeling some of them as LGBTQIA and assigning a “risk score” to others. This is also now free to read:

If every accusation is a confession then how bad did they cheat in 2024?

Not only do we stand by our reporting. Madison Square Garden’s ridiculous lawsuit actually confirms it, noting the company did, in fact, track the sexual orientation of LGBTQIA celebrities in its talent database.

Then they came for the Customer Service team, And I did not speak out, Because I was on hold, owing to an exceptionally high volume of calls. But my call was important to them.

Anyone watching the Tour in Japan on J-Sports gets commentary from Osamu Kurimura (in yellow), Kiyoki Adachi... and Luke, the guitarist in heavy metal band Seikima II who is also a keen cycling fan when he's not devil-worshipping

“FUCK ICE” - Boston, Massachusetts #AEWDynamite

no idea what jude said here but off of messi's reaction i guarantee it is the singular reason why argentina won

monty python and the holy fail

Neighborhood arcades. The flipping mall. The video store. Fast food restaurants where you could actually sit. Basketball courts and parks that weren't as tightly controlled as they are now. More bookstores. More coffeeshops. Most importantly, we didn't have a heavily militarized police force.

the food safety stuff is another reminder that a large, huge, gigantic part of being a republican is going “lmao why are we spending money to prevent horrifying disasters from happening if they never happen 🤪”

Holy shit, the House actually did something right.

This segment of kids riding bikes to play baseball is notable because we have not allowed kids to do this in generations.

no one hates baseball more than the people who run baseball do

That document all the All-Star starters are signing probably locks in a salary cap via fine print on the back.

That’s twice in five minutes the Spanish keeper has suffered a devastating head injury after not getting hit in the head.

Why I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.

Just another day in the Greatest Country in the World™

Me, reading the headline: this makes no sense Me, reading the byline: oh, this makes sense

"Don't be like Lindsey Graham" was such a simple but effective rule for self-respect for gay men of my generation.

Athletes like Erling Haaland and Alysa Liu hava captured our hearts because we live in a time of incompetent leaders and toxic masculinity. It is such a refreshing rebuke to see people performing at high levels while having fun and being their full selves.

The thing about MMA is, it *always* gets worse. McGregor will return in 2-3 years and sormehow outdo tonight.

In case you don't follow UFC (don't blame you), alleged rapist Conor McGregor was top billing tonight and came out swinging like a crackhead, only to instantaneously blow out his knee on the very first kick, get punched in the face approximately 11 times, and lose immediately

It’s just dawning on me now as the World Cup heads toward the latter stages that part of the reason this has been so enjoyable to watch is that you’re not spammed with gambling slop throughout the broadcasts.

A thing that made the old Internet good was all the world’s weirdos came together to offer their deep expertise on niche subjects. Now it’s so much harder to find that online, and we’ve destroyed the weirdos’ natural habitats. Netflix homepage could NEVER recommend a film like a video store weirdo.

Saw a meme of GenZ baffled by how pre-internet travel worked, and realized we’ve crossed an enshittification threshold where IRL services that once seemed outdated, like travel agents, now seem luxurious: “You meet with a human expert who plans out your whole trip with you” sounds incredible now tbh

Related, I'm pretty sure you can sell absolutely any garbage to right-wing rubes by slapping the word "tactical" on it.

Just baked my own noodle by contemplating: 1.) the Rolling Stones have released a new album in 2026. 2.) the Rolling Stones released their first album 62 years ago, in 1964. 3.) for comparison's sake, this would be like if the top artist of 1902 released an album in 1964.

Egypt wearing Falcons colors in Atlanta and holding a big lead in the fourth quarter makes me a bit nervous.

Meta Glasses are like, a Cybertruck for your face.

when i was young they had these people called “investigative journalists” who could find out stuff like if a senator was dead or not

"Pochettino really stresses the mental side of the game" (team sets its own shoes on fire trying to figure out how a Pez dispenser works)

Pochettino welcome to Memeville, USA.

For some reason, feel like I’m watching the Knicks in Game 3.

it’s wild, people rooting for their country’s national team despite said country’s inept/corrupt/despotic government is a tale as old as football but when WE do it oh no that’s bad and you should feel bad

"I can't support corrupt, racist empires so I'm rooting for Belgium" like man to you even listen to yourself.

Hopefully the only time I share a NY Post article here. US Soccer was about to file an appeal to CAS, FIFA relented, Trump’s call a nothing burger, still took credit because Trump.

this is surprising to me. i thought FIFA only does strange, opaque, absurd things because the cheeto wants them to. i am a bluesky poster who never thought about soccer until yesterday, when i could make it about donald trump.

You can tell that this game will destroy at least one nation's psyche and that's what sports are all about baby

This match needs a dog on the pitch

wait the english anthem isn’t “ace of spades”?

Now that we're a few weeks into the World Cup and I'm seeing some godawful Takes on global soccer I'm issuing a public reminder: It's fine to just shut the fuck up about things you don't actually know anything about

Scrolled through James' posts over the past week and there was not a single World Cup-related post until this thread. Guess he just became a soccer expert this afternoon.

Wild watching people on Bluesky go “but the ref issued the red card and their judgment should not be questioned” oh you blindly trust the cops now cool

Huh. They really 𝘥𝘰 put that shit on everything

non-sports bluesky learning that this FIFA organization might not be entirely on the level
