somebody should have said something before they got to this point

The guy who cancelled $80bn in global aid is not a “taker”

Good idea sir. It always turns out well when a president gives a speech in extreme weather. Don’t google William Henry Harrison.

I’ve been after this since I found out @lightintheattic.bsky.social were reissuing Yokota’s catalogue last year, finally it is mine

nyc, you could have had *this*, and yet you spurned him

Happy 10th anniversary of this essay about the dangers of Donald Trump, written by... JD Vance. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

So interesting to learn that the right is not pushing "identity politics"

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.

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

I predict that climate will be a niche concern in US politics up until the point where it is the only concern

We need some kind of moratorium on on-the-nose metaphors

It’s a spray foam that expands to fill empty spaces/gaps. These typically have a maximum safe temperature of 120°.

fairgoers sure seem to love the "Trump Travel Agency"

didn't even know RFK Jr. was in the country

There's no backwards compatibility anymore

went to sleep late, comfortable in the knowledge that Senegal was 2 goals up with 10 mins to go 😥

this is stirring up intense debate within the shortfrom video community focusing on hematophagic parasites (TickTok)

“The public”

Good idea sir. It always turns out well when a president gives a speech in extreme weather. Don’t google William Henry Harrison.

[Jonathan Chait voice] won’t somebody tell all these damn voters that the DSA’s policies are toxic and unappealing

Mpasi, goalie of the century

“Your employees are refusing to cheat and this should make you irate” is a hell of a take

First they came for me. Like, right away. I tried saying "Don't you have some trade unionists or gypsies or something to deal with?", I tried giving them names, but they weren't interested.

A Supreme Court majority found that Trump's executive order did not violate the constitution, let's not pretend that they're on the side of inclusion and tolerance

So weird that Kavanaugh is an originalist on guns, abortion and the administrative state but a "living document" guy on birthright citizenship

starting to think the Supreme Court is not merely calling balls and strikes

prepare to have your daughter accused of being a boy and face demands that her gentials be inspected if the dad on the other team thinks that she fouled his special snowflake too hard

can the Trump replacement possibly be worse?

Not just three dissenting votes. Kavanaugh would also side with Trump on the constitutional issue. Bonkers.

Just waking up to discover that Netherlands and Germany are out, and Morocco and Paraguay are in. Woah.

What four 1976 albums are you getting with this deal? These are mine (not going to limit myself to the first half of the year)

I guess this is an ideological loss for Trump/MAGA, but Susie Wiles managed to convince Trump and the RNC to allow mail-in voting in 2024 and it's part of how he won.

Harold Meyerson writes that instead of picking apart democratic socialists, maybe the Democratic Party can understand that the economic policies they're selling to the public are rather popular. prospect.org/2026/06/29/b...

bad

I have my AI agent hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening and criticize after dinner

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

Comedy gold at 4.42 onwards youtu.be/95GUKeyDvaY?...

A real stain on the UN that they sanctioned this Trump-controlled vehicle for bribery, theft and exploitation

from pokes to viral videos to AI sexbots to gambling, I think Meta is best thought of as an addiction company

you can learn lots of facts following the football

Incredible chart from @propublica.org. If you don’t follow enviro stuff closely, your instinct might be that the hold-your-nose solution (carbon capture from fossil fuels) would be the “pragmatic” one versus covering Earth in solar panels, which seems utopian. In fact it’s the opposite

I know we’re stuck on the final line, but I can’t get over the fact that Trump invaded Venezuela in part because he liked ogling (or worse?) its Miss Universe contestants in the late 90s

Extraordinary detail in the new book on Trump's second term administration

my kind of Jubilee, the Japanese national team vs. 100 kids

oh thank goodness people are Brooks-posting bc Mel is 100, and not for the other likely reason

Senegal… wow
