Allegedly the new Oxford Time Travel book comes out July of next year and I have preordered it in a act of Hope

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

And getting the worlds best medical care for free.

Simply Sinner is the 2026 Wimbledon Champion 🏆 #Wimbledon

this is such a great video. he does the RFK endorsed carnivore diet for a single month and his bad cholesterol explodes. doing this diet is a heart attack nuke

A Social Media Site Asks, Could This Hitlerian Symbol Be A Sign of Poor Judgment?

NEW: Our first report on the swing voters of the 2026 midterms finds that when they are asked which policies would make them definitely vote for a Democrat, the most selected option is “raise taxes on the wealthy,” followed by “create a Medicare for All health care system.”

George has me trained extremely well, I hear his little nails click clacking on the floor and I know it’s time to get out of bed because he’ll be really annoying otherwise. He likes to herd everyone in the same room for easier observation.

I don’t really care who wins Cobolli/Fery but it’s probably for the best that Fery wins in 3 (he’s up 2 sets) so that he is fresh to beat the likely winner of Zverev/Fritz (Zverev)

I teach special education at a poor rural middle school. Please support my classroom! #clearthelist

Before I got a dog I thought having one would be amazing and it is in fact amazing. Get a dog. It’s hard work but also you get a little buddy!

Graham Platner was "vetted" by Dan Moraff, a man kicked out of Pittsburgh DSA for sexual assault. You cannot have rapists in your tent because they will surround themselves with people who are also abusers or enablers, so they get away with more abuse. There are too many examples of this.

Platner has royally screwed his party and his state. He should get no right to dictate anything other than a letter of apology in which he withdraws from the race and then leaves public life.

Just thinking this morning about how many women are forced to serve up the most intimate and horrible moments of their pasts because people blast through a veritable thicket of red flags in support of a political candidate, and in retaliation, they are smeared and harassed.

Why wasn’t the Nazi tattoo enough

perhaps we should view nazi tattoos as disqualifying from here on out. i kind of assumed we'd already view them as disqualifying but was unpleasantly surprised so maybe from here we could all agree not to downplay nazi tattoos since they seem pretty indicative of broad disregard for human dignity

A 41-year-old Maine woman has accused Graham Platner of rape. Her account is corroborated by contemporaneous emails to her therapist, by a boyfriend she confided in about the alleged assault, and by messages she sent to another woman warning her about Platner. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

and there's the rape allegation he's gotta go he should've been gone a long, long time ago but he's gotta go

I hope Mexico beats England today as revenge for Mexico week on the Great British Bake-off

My favorite show is on (Sabalenka tanking and Osaka winning)

Djokovic after becoming the man with most match wins in Wimbledon history “You’re known for your focus and concentration on court..” Novak: “And the outbursts as well.” “The what?” Novak. “The outbursts. You know, the meltdowns. 😂 I had a few of those today as well. I apologize” 😭😭😭

city fireworks are too crowded, I miss my childhood of sneaking in from our church parking lot to see the country club fireworks

Dimitrov d. Berrettini 6-3 6-4 3-6 5-7 6-3 GRIGOR REACHES THE WIMBLEDON ROUND OF 16 BACK TO BACK YEARS Last year, he was playing the match of his life against the world No. 1 & eventual champion but he left with an injury & a broken heart That injury has healed.. & so has his heart Cathartic 🇧🇬❤

I want ESPN to show me Dimitrov/Berretini but they insist on showing me American men playing tennis 😭

Close up of Alex Eala’s reaction after beating Iga Swiatek at Wimbledon. The reaction of a woman who just became the first Filipino player to reach the 2nd week of a Slam. This moment is forever felt in every Filipino heart. Cinema. 🥹 🇵🇭❤️

George and I are watching a lil Wimbledon

like I understand how hard it is to stop using Amazon or Google or Meta products, but spending $50k on a disposable car that props up a murderous nazi is completely optional and a clear sign that you believe in nothing

Sweet for the 250th we get to pretend we are 2003 Baghdad

My workweek this week was two days and it felt longer than some 5 week ones 😭

I feel like portraying it as a fringe theological dispute between catholic sects over the 2nd vatican council and finger pointing over who's a heretic, rather than as a conflict with a fringe far right sect that says Jews are going to hell and Muslims are rapists hides the general interest aspect.

nicolas cage was worried about the theft of the declaration of independence when he should've been worrying about the theft of the CONSTITUTION

first big heat wave in the northeast - why not cool off with some breezy lo-fi jangle pop from my upcoming record harrisonlemke.bandcamp.com/album/the-au...

I feel the same way, George

Hmmm Why am I so tired? Oh it’s because it’s noon and I have had zero caffeine 💀

Things named after Pius X: 1. The schismatic fascists 2. My parents' suburban lib boomer parish

a fun fact about SSPX is that the main founder was a Vichy regime sympathizer and one of his founding bishops was an outright Holocaust denier. both excommunicated in the 80s I’m no JPII stan, but you KNOW that was one thing former Polish Resistance member Karol Wojtyla was NOT going to stand for

The high today was 33C here in Pittsburgh and I was reflecting on the fact that living in the US I leave the AC on for my dog while I’m gone and some Europeans won’t even do that for themselves

There is no such thing as parental rights. Children have rights. Parents have obligations and duties of care. Noone should be taking parents rights groups seriously.

We have a Black Lives Matter one and a banner saying Abolish ICE, as well as a plethora of bumper stickers on our car. And sure, they’re not going to accomplish much on their own, but they did mean some kids could knock on our door at 10 PM and feel safe

Maya Joint was born 11 years after Serena Williams went pro 💀

I don't think it's good Klein got a racist to spread racist propaganda in The New York Times and then when Klein will say, 'well is that actually true? maybe you're really overestimating this' Rufo will respond with a few minutes of 'yeah actually all the data backs me and it's all true, really!'

current tennis system, positive: women actually get paid current tennis system, negative: so few players can actually make a living

House-made ketchup. Just give us Heinz, they figured it out already and you're not improving on the recipe.

By far the best thing about the Great American State Fair is that DC statehood activists have infiltrated it (with official permission!) and are lobbying attendees to support their cause. I saw several MAGA tourists receiving the polite but vigorous spiel for DC statehood and it warmed my heart.

Scoop with @mercohn.bsky.social: Johns Hopkins University is laying off more than 100 employees in the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Carey Business School and central administration. Hopkins is suffering "debilitating" decreases in federal research funding www.thebanner.com/education/hi...

This argument would ring less false if I had not spent years watching left wing Democrats do a lot of work to support whichever Democrat won the primary, only to be attacked by centrist Democrats when the left wing won a primary.

is there anyone around these parts who 1) has a macbook neo and 2) would be interested in helping test a game?
