Third Country Radio is on the air at 7:00 Eastern/4:00 Pacific on @bff.fm! This week, @kduffy1718.bsky.social and I take inspiration from French radio station FIP to follow our own tastes and vibes and take you on a journey with us. bff.fm #radio #communityradio

Note to self

SFF, we need to talk. I'm not here to rag specifically on Bona, who did the right thing by going public. No, I'm looking at all of you. Or at least, 15 of you. Because this right here? This is buckwild.

Some are born great, some are made great, and some make pasta with Monster Energy

i dreamed you couldn’t post memes unless they had a wizard in them so i took a short break from work to doodle the one i kept posting on here in the dream

🚨 WHO NEEDS TO SEE A BABY PEACOCK?

The Telemundo announcers are discussing how, "through no fault of their own," the US players have now earned "the antipathy" of "the entire footballing world." They're also openly speculating about whether the political controversy distracted the players.

Worth remembering that the single motivating factor for Trump running in 2012 and ‘16—Barack Obama’s race—was specifically predicated on Obama being of East African extraction. Might partly explain his animalistic obsession with Somalis.

Chris Wright holds two degrees from MIT, so the real question is whether he’s a truly smart guy who’s now pretending to be stupid for political reasons, of if he’s just an actually dumb guy who cheated his way through school.

I’m really disappointed that Mexico lost tonight, but I have to give England credit for playing such a tough game. A real hard fought victory.

i find it very funny that, canonically, the last character in this comic strip would be required by his belief system to murder you the instant you admitted to having used any kind of AI for any purpose

#OtD 5 Jul 1975 Cape Verde achieved independence from Portugal, in the wake of the Carnation Revolution which overthrew the colonial power's right-wing dictatorship stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1257...

I work with people new to gamedev, the more someone used AI before the higher risk they -cut corners -don't take time to learn skills -won't ask for help -underestimate what other people know -negative value to team, slowdown -can't evaluate info quality -weak follow through hard to undo AIs damage

"birthright citizenship is destroying this nation and everyone who benefited from it should be denaturalized and deported except this one guy, temporarily, for sports reasons" about sums up this administration

It’s a beautiful evening, the National Mall is open and people are having a wonderful time.

I would kill or die for Larry

Sometimes if people want to get hit by lightning you just let them

- Reflecting pool algae - Heat-related parade cancellation - Storm-related National Mall closure Mother Nature: 3 Trump: 0

The 1998 murders of Dan and Spit represent the cutting of threads in a fabric woven across time by countless contributors and crews before and after. The entire tapestry is changed by their absence, offset by the shape of their loss. Every anti-racist must know their story and continue earnestly.

She just voted 9-0 that trans people aren't due Constitutional rights last week.

First, this is sheer unadulterated bullshit. Truly. As someone who's given away more than most people...by a lot...this is sheer fucking bullshit. Second, this imagines philanthropy/charity as a transactional relationship which is why he fails so fucking utterly. Moron. Dipshit. Asshat.

A reminder that as you see photos of those Patriot Front douchebags today, they are marching on a holiday because none of them have anywhere else to be. None of them have friends or family who want them around on a holiday. No one is missing them today. They're already with their only friends.

A petition has been launched, stating, "We, the Irish dancing community, voice our unequivocal support for transgender dancers". Read 👉 buff.ly/rIn57fX #GCNnews

would love to see a hostile audit of Freedom 250. hell, would love to see hostile audits of everything even tangentially related to trump. this will produce endless material. you could conceivably bring the administration to an effective halt!

Today is the last day for CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. Some have said we need a miracle, but I disagree--we just need YOU. tinyurl.com/AWBWCO

Elon Musk is a South African who came to the US under a fraudulently secured student visa to study at Stanford (he never enrolled). Through further fraud, he secured a green card and then was naturalized as a US citizen. His US citizenship can be revoked. He also holds a Canadian passport.

I know many of you are watching The Shark Movie™️ for 4th of July, but perhaps this year you can add Jess & my annual tradition, a double feature of coming-of-age movies set at summer theme parks: @gregmottola.bsky.social's brilliant ADVENTURELAND and Rash/Faxon's adorable WAY WAY BACK. Perfect pair.

Argentina to Cape Verde:

That was one of the best World Cup matches I’ve ever seen. Cabo Verde made Argentina fucking work for that win.

RIP to all the catholics excommunicated by the pope for their heresy but im different. and better. maybe even better than the pope

Guess I'm as qualified to comment here as anyone, having made my "rep" on historical narrative. Not buying the accusation of plagiarism with which the prof and her allies are filling Bluesky, as I've detailed in other posts. But Tillie and D&Q made a few key mistakes that would have prevented this.

I don't care how big a Messi fan you are, it is incumbent on all of us to root for Cape Verde to dump out Argentina before the Round of 16. It would be the greatest thing that ever happened in the history of the sport

African, can confirm: every moment of your life has been spent during an atrocity somewhere, perpetuated or exacerbated by a larger number of countries and corporations than many care to admit.

Anybody knows of an actual play channel or podcast would like some dark survival fantasy roleplaying sprinkled on top of a solo friendly and accessible TTRPG system ?

InfoWars off to quite a start

Hey folks, who'd like another Steam sale recommendation thread? Let's go! 1. Nine Sols Simply one of the best Metroidvanias ever. Takes inspiration from Hollow Knight with gorgeous hand drawn artstyle, mixes in the parry heavy combat of Sekiro, and Red Candle's exceptional narrative writing.

I feel like I should repost this every day until everyone reposts it every day and demands this simple change with big impact

The number of times I have wanted to write “this has been talked about extensively you’re just 21” on a student’s paper cannot be calculated in human numerals.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Worldwide fireworks displays were secretly launched by Chiitan all along.

Hegseth proudly announced that the flu vaccine would no longer be required for people serving in the military. A flu outbreak is now happening at Lackland Air Force Base, and flu vaccinations are again required. The AF has now been forced to admit that a 25-year-old recruit has died of influenza.

Western mountains might be taller but eastern mountains are haunted.

One hell of a game by the US team against Bosnia and Herzegovina. A hard won victory. The red card was very much bullshit, however.

Get over 50 TTRPG rulebooks and starter sets for all your favorite franchises, from Doctor Who to Warhammer to MCG's own Stealing Stories, The Darkest House, and beyond! Pay what you want and support Tabletop Gaymers—a GREAT deal and great cause! ENDING TOMORROW!

TIL the world's new favorite himbo once bought a 13th century copy of one of the Norse Sagas for $150,000, then donated it to the library because "I'm not much of a reader."

This alone should give investors everywhere pause, but somehow it won't: banks decided that a $100 billion stake in OpenAI wasn't even work $6 billion. That's a goddamn flashing alarm for how bad things are about to be.
