Ok but having watched this for 15 seconds I’m now a fan of the Dutch national team

You'd think there should really be laws and rules saying you can't use national parks as a commercial billboard, or federal resources generally to pimp a company's brand, and especially not the military. Good news: we already have those laws! Bad news: the regime in power is literally lawless.

This is true. But their fight is about power. Not money. If the tax passes it means more money for the government and the middle class. A well financed government is harder to influence. A well-to-do middle class is harder to subjugate. This is why the tax MUST pass.

We’re experiencing monoculture again for the first time in like three decades and we’re all high as fuck on shared collective experience

My father is apparently out in the streets partying to celebrate the win despite having returned from the other side of the world today.

Honestly this should be the headline of every single sports section tomorrow

Must feel so amazing right now to be a Vietnamese man in NYC named Nicks Nguyen and hearing the whole city chant your name

Lmao the one game the knicks lost was due to Trump’s malign presence

I hate to say it, but it’s not too late if Mike Pence has the courage

EVEN DONALD TRUMP COULD NOT STOP THE VIBES I WILL DO THIS ONE TIME AND ONE TIME ONLY BEFORE I RETURN TO HATING NEW YORK SPORTS: BING BONG MOTHERFUCKERS

Start the clock on the presidential resignation

girl me too

It's possible for some people (not for everyone!) for maybe their not-100%-valid concerns to be a path by which we can lead them into correct beliefs instead, using the same techniques professional persuaders (sales doofuses) and the right wing uses to get them to believe more incorrect stuff.

“A gap in the tarps allowed a New York Times photographer to observe a worker pulling the letter ‘A’ from the wall. There was no sound of power tools; the letter appeared to come off by hand.” (Gift link)

Watching this news anchor wait increasingly awkwardly for the big moment is some of the funniest unintentional comedy I've seen in a minute

This is a (really good) but, right?

“Secondary” names, famously the ones that come first

Look, maybe the Knicks DID win, but the way this progressed just confuses people and reduces confidence in the whole 'sports' process. -NYT Editorial Staff

This is what happens when Trump doesn’t go to MSG

The Spurs are killing the Knicks but holy shit these two games have been an officiating apocalypse

It’s nice that military theorists and lawyers have something to bond over. It’ll be useful when it’s time to prosecute all the war crimes

I mean using military force to impose your political terms is the exact definition of war. You can't have a ceasefire while also using military force to impose your will on an adversary. I can feel my brain bleeding

We doing cool zone

Even Idiocracy wasn’t this audacious

Inflation is the lathe of heaven

THERE IS AN ACTIVE POGROM IN NORTHERN IRELAND. FASCISTS IN SKULL MASKS ARE GOING DOOR TO DOOR PULLING MIGRANTS OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND SETTING THEM ON FIRE.

They're calling it the Trump Curse folks and people are saying it brings blight to the land. "Blight," that old fashioned word you don't hear much any more.

Every awful thing about this guy has been excused because he's supposedly the secret key to winning [insert lockstep GOP voting demographic here]. ... but against Collins he polls below generic Dem and below Mills. Every single thing about him is bullshit.

AI is good at getting you started on a project, it’s good as a search engine, and it’s exceptionally good at catching human errors in a draft. You as a professional should never be handing someone an unedited AI output. You suck at your job if you do this.

Now *this* is the stuff

Wow if only we had some sort of department that come convey this sort of communication in a way that wasn’t humiliating

Going great on the ceasefire huh

For a thoughtful analysis of HR and gender, read Liz Tippett. This is from her book, The Master-Servant Doctrine

Feeling very smart for taking the free trade in upgrade from the 14 to the 17

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”

Very sick of the press doing this- he has a thirty year record of refusing to rule things out when pressed, and the more you press the more likely he is to do it.

Controversial pick: Japanese

America loves a story of reform

Congrats, John Roberts! You ended the three-branch method of governance!

Good on pro publica for thinking of this but the crimes are just happening out in the open, today

My take on Maine senate is I’m glad I don’t have to vote in Maine as I’d be compelled to vote for Platner anyway

“My journey is one of transformation”

Breaking on MS NOW: House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia says Todd Blanche should not be confirmed and, instead, "he should be fired from the job."

They must immediately brutally gerrymander republicans.

If you don't understand why it's grotesque to respond to attacks on synagogues and harassment of Jews by talking about Gaza and Zionism, think about what you'd think if/when a politician responded to an attack on a mosque by complaining about Saudi Arabia or the Taliban.

Not for nothing but freedom of navigation has been a core US foreign policy objective for 200+ years and preserving the Arabian Gulf from domination has been one for just a hair under 50. When I say things like “calamity” or “inexcusable defeat”, I am not being partisan or exaggerating.

Fun fact: the US imports hundreds of millions of pounds of beef from Brazil

Literally doing it can only good happen
