Quick, name the film: '... while Lynch has described it as a "psychogenic fugue" rather than a conventionally logical story'

What is the most 80s music video and why is it for Robert Palmer's "Addicted To Love"

Dear Twitter users: Hearing it on the X was only cool in the 70s

The new hit by the Guess Who

Capitalism has shown repeatedly that it would prefer markets to be unfree

Can't be overstated just how deeply Republicans oppose (a) merit in employment; (b) functional government; and (c) the notion Americans have any shared interests. That's why they don't even feel a tension between "being a bigot" and "undermining national security." To them, the latter is irrelevant.

🚨 WORLD CUP SCORIGAMI 🚨 FINAL: France 🇫🇷 (4), England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (6) 6–4 has NEVER happened in men's World Cup history (1930–present).

Third place is coming home again, with Thomas Tuchel

Domestic and gender-based violence is one of the top predictors of people who are going to be violent in other contexts. Taking domestic violence seriously is part of making a safer world for everyone. And that means no one with a background of DV should ever be in law enforcement.

Which would be better to sit next to on a plane: Pol Pot or Adolf Hitler

I’ll see every argument about rules and financial fair play, but the one that I cannot get past is the coefficient payment that UEFA put in. NUFC received tens of millions less than other English clubs that they surpassed in the tournament over two campaigns. Result? A fucking fine payable to UEFA.

Please rise for My Country Tis of Thee

Missouri. It knows what it did

Cato: the Seven Wonders of the ancient world were, of course, private enterprises

This is why you don't let someone like Wurman into a university faculty for "viewpoint diversity" reasons. They're bad faith actors who can't wait to Quisling themselves.

The Rolling Leopards: "I Just Want To Eat His Face"

Deep tear through American culture which understands that to be "liberty" — freedom from concern about the lived experience of anyone outside your chosen sense of society It's both antiwokeness and the underpinning of almost every road rage incident

"we can't use the subway, people might see someone with a cigarette" as an elder millennial I am old enough to remember "no smoking" lights on planes that switched off???

The deeper issue, I think, is that a lot of Americans (including many liberals) have a revealed preference for an atomized society where every moment is controlled and curated. Other people are suffered to exist as long as they don't affect the Experience

I'm always interested in which world this is where one is constantly seeing people Doing Drugs on public transit, because it has literally never happened to me, and I take a lot of public transit

“Compared to what?” is always the essential question when asking about critiques of higher education & universities, whether we’re discussing declining trust, freedom of speech, viewpoint diversity, or any of the other things.

A moment of rudeness from a senior colleague this morning and I've spent the rest of the day wondering why on earth I spend any time on this project

Investigators have released their preliminary report on the crash involving a LEGO 747 and Space Shuttle earlier this week. flightradar24.com/blog/flight-...

"The path to zero carbon is extremely obvious and achievable" is an extremely End Of History kind of statement

Ken Paxton recently bought 3 Utah luxury condos worth $1.6 million. He then put them in a blind trust that shares an address with the Dallas home he appears to be sharing with a woman who is not his wife.

Curious what the overlap of "doctors get paid too much and that makes healthcare too expensive" and "public sector transit workers get paid too much and that's why there aren't enough trains" is

The question is, is Liberty Hill "rural"

Lionel Messi with better per 90 stats in the World Cup than in MLS this season. This is why you prepare for the World Cup against the highest level competition.

My schedule is so resource-loaded, ....

People will be like "colleges don't teach enough military history, that's how you reach men" but I don't see anyone using this argument for transportation history

Going to bump this big interview with Dan Burn from the end of the season. What a special person he is - so glad he has been able to show the country what he’s all about over the last few weeks. It’s free to read.

in a lot of ways the current republican government is just the worst, extractive red state governance taken national. total hostility to public goods, total indifference to long-term investment, and a monomaniacal interest in using the state to enrich private benefactors

"Everyone is a Consumer Now" is almost certainly the biggest cultural victory of Neoliberalism and the thing that most pop criticisms of neoliberalism don't seem to get

The thing is it's rather hard to be "non-urban" these days, e.g. see New York State

I see Americans are once again having a normal one about living at high-ish latitudes

The thing that nobody actually wants to talk about is that you need to punch suburbs/exurbs, not rurals

The natural history collections at the University of Texas, holding maybe 5 million specimens, is partly closed down because our buildings are falling apart and UT is doing the bare minimum of life support. We could fix it for 1/5th the price of a vanity purchase of a single dinosaur specimen.

a friend coined the term “yasslighting” to mean “when you are stupid wrong but your bad influence friend keeps telling you the opposite out of some bizarre obligation never to question you.” Gambling websites, manosphere toxic masc trainings, many cults, and more are all built to yasslight.

Someday maybe I'll understand what "modernity" is meant to be here

There's YIMBY "build more housing" and there's YIMBY "all land use regulation is theft" and they're not the same thing

it makes me sad but it’s also the natural terminus of the “go into computer programming” push over the past decade or two — a lot of people who have no real passion for it ended up in the industry

Trash day at Bergstrom. Looks like multiple Delta+Connection flights waiting over an hour for a gate

Holy COW. Text analysis of comments on the OMB rule: overwhelming opposition, overwhelmingly not form letters. (But 9 in 10 comments supporting the rule ARE form responses, LOL) Whatever happens next, folks have stepped up.

I will just add, as I am sure many comments submitted to OMB point out, the statutory basis OMB claims for the proposed rules simply does not give it the authority to directly regulate the grant-making authority of the agencies that supposedly signed off on it.

Interesting: @chmnmendelson.bsky.social has introduced a bill for D.C. to enter into a public-private partnership with D.C. United to build a roof on Audi Field “in order to realize more than one hundred new events annually” at the eight-year-old soccer stadium. lims.dccouncil.gov/Legislation/B2…

Featured story: Observer analysis of injuries at SpaceX’s Starbase in 2025, using publicly available data, shows that the company had an injury rate that’s more than 5 times the national average for comparable space vehicle manufacturing facilities in the U.S.
