You don't actually want to use a zippo for lighting your weed. Tastes terrible.

So basically Europeans are trying to do The West minus USA.

INVESTIGATION: 🚨 A Polymarket exec used a personal PayPal account to pay major political influencers like Riley Gaines and Brian Krassenstein, who then hyped how "accurate" Polymarket is at predicting outcomes. We uncovered $350,000+ flowing to influencers this way www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

English commentators need to stop analysing Northern Ireland through an English lens! When you see anti-immigrant riots in Belfast, Ballymena or Larne and immediately reach for "Britain's far-right problem", you're missing half the story. This isn't just racism. It's loyalist terrorism. 1/

One thing every Platner supporter needs to understand is that regardless of whether or not they are a nazi and regardless of whether platner is one, everyone else is going to be asking them questions for a while out of sheer nervousness that you are a supporter who is a nazi.

Dems don't want to rock this boat.

Kristalnacht in England.

Can confirm! Inspired by this article I made horse appropriate cupcakes. A huge success with my boy! #horsesofbluesky

Here's one of my filly on her first birthday. Later this month she will get a cake with 3 candles.

Commentary: I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

So many men assume hierarchy is the only way to organize. So for them feminism means women dominate men, as they now dominate women and children under patriarchy. Feminism centers care and collaboration over hierarchy. Which is genuine equality for everyone.

Omg.

Bari Weiss is gonna take over the editorial part of cnn.

The answer is neoliberalism. As long as both countries' major parties are both captured by neoliberal ideology, both countries will continue to see a k chart of outcomes and widespread discontent with the leadership that is enriching itself at the expense of the public.

Since I have Clash of Civilizations on my brain, I wonder how Fukuyama feels about it today.

So, I read Brianna Wu's op-ed in the JPost and what stuck out to me was the constant Huntingtonian reference to Western Democracy. Wu clearly buys into the Clash of Civilizations concept and views Israel as being a flashpoint of one of those conflicts. And uh...that view is deeply racist.

I cannot agree more strongly. All US matches should be moved to Mexico and Canada. Mexico alone can easily accommodate as many soccer stadiums as needed.

The xenophobic US should not be hosting these games. This is happening so that Trump & Miller can take out their anger at Ilhan Omar on her countryman. FIFA imposed a strict set of guidelines on Qatar as hosts. They refuse to do the same to US. 🎁

I didn't know that was an actual thing but its definitely a thing I've noticed more of in Baltimore. I even saw a dude in a motorized wheelchair riding along with traffic (and scarily enough, keeping pace).

There's an indicator species for evaluating the safety of your urban infrastructure, and it's not middle-aged men on bikes. It's women, seniors, and kids feeling safe enough to ride in their everyday clothes.

Your 'moment of doom' for June 9, 2026 ~ Optimism bias. "The number of annual heat-related emergency department visits or hospitalizations across the US are set to rise from about 109,000 cases a year to as many as 237,000 cases by 2040..." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Important news: There's a house in my Providence neighborhood that has a wooden fence with little head-holes for dogs. I have only ever seen those head-holes empty. Until yesterday. 🥹🥹

The dog has previously been covered in the news:

What Is it about the word slumber that makes it sound more serious than sleep

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

This is the problem with the modern Democratic party as well. Institutional calcification.

What's inhibiting science reform? "Cognitive conservatism, self-reinforcing feedback loops, epistemic dominance, and the selection bias of reform agents." Preprint: philsci-archive.pitt.edu/29963/ #MetaSci #PhilSci #STS

FISA is and has been a disaster. Let it die. Going forward, Congress needs to be more intentional about protecting privacy rights and civil liberties. It is irresponsible to keep giving the government absurd amounts of power and hoping for the best. End mass surveillance. votewelch.com

I am deeply concerned that the anti-Trump feelings over Colbert's cancellation are being taken out on a Black man who did nothing to effect Colbert's cancellation, but is simply guilty of existing and taking over the now vacant space. Don't blame the new tenant for how the landlord treated the last.

Okay, but its actually a foundation stone for European racism and ideas of supremacy. Nobody else got "enlightened." Just Europe, and it has since spread its light to the rest of the world. Like God.

If the Knicks had just listened to me they could've had a rest night, a helluva headline in their favor and still have the same result they have now.

"Tupac's Estate" means Tom Whalley.🤷🏿‍♂️ Afeni Shakur (Tupac's mom) hired Tom Whalley to manage his estate. Then Afeni Shakur passed away too. Tom Whalley hired himself as manager of the estate, and paid himself ~$5.5M.😮 Tupac's surviving sister, Sekyiwa "Set" Shakur sued Whalley for embezzlement.

I like how the church in medfield is called open doors fellowship and has a very prominent "no right to roam this land" sign by the fence.

TIL Utah is the gay marriage capital of the gay marriage isn't legal in our country yet world.

An apron is just a backwards cape.

This made me LOL

I hate to say it, but the colleagues positioning themselves to be pro AI in teaching and curriculum, are probably also positioning themselves to be administrators, and probably aren’t thinking about or don’t care how it will affect teaching, learning, or the careers of those around them.

This is Trump flexing his power. Its a show of force.

Carr is an idiot if he thinks Pelley didn't anticipate being fired.

As one of those fans, I am not hyped or particularly interested. Too much baggage.

If I were the Knicks, I would just forfeit the game now just to avoid Trump. Also as a flex. It would still be Knicks in 4 since they'd still only actually play 4 games.

How much energy would you need to have a floating house? Like let's say I have infinite space for solar panels and batteries and want to build a floating house, how much energy would I need to output to keep my house floating at all times?
