I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran). The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

Good morning riders!

This whale, named Hvaldimir, likely escaped from a Russian military facility. He was first seen in Norway with a camera harness that said “Equipment of St Petersburg.” This isn’t a cute video of a wild whale - he was captive and dependent on humans, and sought then out once free. He died in 2024.

Ubiquitously advertised betting available through the computer you carry in your pocket via apps designed and managed by ruthlessly efficient data scientists and programmers seems like a mistake. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.

“DOGE employees’ use of ChatGPT to identify ‘wasteful’ grants is perhaps the biggest advertisement for the need for humanities education, which builds skills in critical thinking.”

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

Watch this clip. Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.

Maybe it should matter that the President of the United States threatened the lives of the Iranian soccer team, who can say

The LIB reunion already 😳

WBAL in Baltimore helping viewers understand the difference between watches and warnings

Care to watch the White House correspondent for PBS News Hour as she challenges the president on voter fraud and a "rigged" election? When we use the term "fact-based," this is what we mean.

NEWS: It was never about the children. Transgender adults now face care restrictions after the ruling of the federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia. www.advocate.com/news/court-b...

Everyone else in the room when a former DOGE employee was deposed.

One of the founders of the boycott wrote on Facebook that this article is total BS

Does he think SNAP works like WW2 ration coupons??

Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”

Am I missing something??? These shoes aren’t even expensive. Just buy a second pair in your actual size if you don’t want to offend him?

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

I wonder if he believes in germ theory enough to let them give him the ancef.

I'm switching reference/pdf managers to collaborate with some people and... I don't like change.

holy shit

I never knew this existed and I am so pleased to have seen this comment today. If you were like me and ignorant about what is a photocopier? I now share it with you. Enjoy youtu.be/PZbqAMEwtOE?...

This is absolutely hilarious and deserves a Veep-style TV adaptation.

can we at least bring back disco, guys in short shorts, moustaches, and actors with interestingly flawed faces and bodies

Hey I did a fun thing with @warren.senate.gov about breaking up giant healthcare conglomerates

A few years ago my dog found an entire bagel minus one tiny bite in a potted plant by a restaurant, clearly abandoned by a toddler from their stroller (it was perfect stroller height). That became the magic bagel plant and my dog checked for a magic bagel every single day the rest of her life. 🥯 🪴

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

Sunset at 6:55 tonight. We made it!

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers. This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight. (🎥 Vahid Online)

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

hands down the absolute *strangest* “on background” sourcing I have ever seen in the NYT. Completely bonkers stuff www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

This woman almost died in prison after committing no crime and following the same legal advice thousands have followed. she was abducted after a green card interview and then denied essential medical care.

Millennials have 3 core traumas: - My Girl - The Land Before Time - The NeverEnding Story Then they got mad at us for eating avocado toast. Honestly, we were just glad the world didn’t have as much quicksand as we were led to believe.

I cannot believe UCSF is taking him back. To have this man affiliated with your institution is an affront to medicine and science.

this is explicitly genocidal

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day. Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

Just learned that in South Africa you an be an EXTRAORDINARY professor and wow what a title.

my first book (2020) was about online neonazis and my second book (2024) was about christian theocrats. they gained strength, voltronned and became a government. my third book (2027) is going to be a history of notable sandwiches so i hope this means we will be governed by sandwichocracy

Three days ago, OpenAI said its AI wouldn’t be used for mass surveillance, autonomous weapons, or “social credit” systems. Today, Sam Altman told his staff thag OpenAI cannot control how the Pentagon uses its AI. We cannot rely on the morality of companies to protect our freedom.

My daughter: in the TLC song “No Scrubs,” what do they mean by “scrub”? Me: Honey this is the one and only pop song in history that opens up with a dictionary and thesaurus entry.
