Cape Verde vs Uruguay was so much fun

Cape Verde score their first World Cup goal ever and it’s a 30 yard bomb!

tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber

I am actually not sure how to communicate how weird it is that Lalas is on this panel. Henry and Ibrahimovic are two of the best forwards of the past 20 years; Lalas peaked at Padova, a club that hasn’t been in Serie A since the Clinton administration www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Fotmob thinks the USMNT has a very favorable path to the later stages

Saudi is getting rekt

Yeah the important context here is that Musk is a “tech entrepreneur” not that he thinks black people are too dumb to be airline pilots bsky.app/profile/bran...

Actually, this is a somewhat useful text, in that all of the historical nonsense here is built to underscore a specific mysogynist argument: that it is better to have a bad, difficult and precarious life where you can brutalize women than a relatively prosperous and secure one where you can't

Looking forward to this week’s Iran deal

Imo it is more a 19th century Calhoun Jacksonian view that promise simply does not and was never meant to apply to people who aren’t white men, but Greg is correct that view is more unpopular than it may seem at times bsky.app/profile/greg...

Just purely based on roster I would not have expected turkey to go out first

Ismael Saibari in the 2nd minute

Also let me recommend historian Annette Gordon Reed’s “On Juneteenth” for your summer reading list. I felt vindicated reading that Reed, a Texan, always saw Juneteenth as a Texas celebration. Her dive into the complicated history of Texas, slavery, integration & this holiday is riveting.

My latest is for @talkingpointsmemo.com: The definitive history of Tucker the chameleon: Over the last three decades, he has continuously shifted his brand to meet the audience demands What does Tucker Carlson believe? Always do what's best for Tucker Carlson. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/a-defin...

pete hegseth is engaged in open racial discrimination against black officers. the clear message is that there is no place for black or women leadership in his military

This is BIG. After spending over $1 BILLION on the purchase of multiple commercial warehouses that ICE planned to convert into the largest jails/prisons in the nation, ICE is now largely abandoning the idea and will aim to sell off multiple warehouses at a loss.

You're not supposed to say this, but conservatives hate HPV vaccines because they think that removing the risk of cervical cancer from sex incentives women to be sluts. It's been a Christian thing since way before RFK Jr. was around, everybody knows what it's about, but you have to pretend not to.

This used to be bigoted but now lots of people say it so it can’t be bigoted seems to be a thesis that could, perhaps, use further examination.

Hi, folks, I don't do this often but if you like FOREVER WARS and can spare us a few bucks, it's $5 a month or a discounted $50 a year and @attackerman.bsky.social is the single best commentator on global warfare alive. He can't say this about himself but I sure can. We need your support.

Just a few quotes from the Texas GOP convention: -“Islam is a disease that spreads by immigration." -“True Christians and Americans will hold nothing but contempt and disdain for the toxic ideology of Islam.” -"We don't need them in any level of government."

🧵 … Hey all … I’m in search of story sources who’d want to interview for an upcoming feature about trans folks who’ve moved from red states to blue ones, especially since the last presidential election. Signal boosts appreciated.

Our investigation into the small number of billionaire networks funding amicus briefs to the Supreme Court. Couldn't have done this without the incredible work of @melissa.news

ICYMI, this is the next milestone in the criminalization of dissent. If you thought DHS was trying to be lowkey post-Minnesota, they were just buying time for cases like this. Subscribe to FOREVER WARS for journalism like this — what you need to know to stay free.

DC resident, can confirm: for people pushing that narrative this map is more or less the funniest conceivable result

Psychologists and economists have spent decades demoting gratification to a sin—they were wrong, @ibogost.com writes:

This is just straightforward white nationalist great replacement rhetoric, the kind of thing that would have been confined to neo-Nazi forums a decade ago. Multiple mass shooters in recent years believed exactly this.

MS NOW EXCLUSIVE: Kash Patel may have a 'personal slush fund' of taxpayer dollars to pay loyalist agents, according to Rep. Jamie Raskin. Raskin is demanding documents from Patel — citing claims that $8,000 payments are made to agents who carry out "unlawful partisan and personal orders."

Anti abortion activists said “leaving abortion to the states” would alleviate partisan rancor and get the justices out of the “abortion umpire business.” Now they’re demanding the courts force pro choice states to help enforce abortion bans. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Amazing NZ goal

I truly could not ask for a clearer example of what Republicans mean when they talk about “Judeo-Christian values.”

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Cape Verde’s Vozinha says U.S. visa issues stopped his mother from witnessing his World Cup heroics in person. The 40-year-old goalkeeper was visibly emotional on the pitch after the game. nyti.ms/4vW6UsB
