Watching World Cup final in 2026 is like voting in 2020 - not so much for the team you like but against the team that’s horribly corrupt

The latest GTA game looks awesome.

This is my favorite thing I've written for @mcsweeneys.net in a while. Hope you folks enjoy it! I think the headline pretty much clears up what it's about.

Kids today must be the most well-rested generation in history, because I was up till 3am scrambling to skim the reading, changing the margins and upping the font by .2 just to get those 10 pages done by morning.

I haven’t seen so many ineffective crosses in Mexico since Hernán Cortés couldn’t convert the Aztecs in 1519

my hot take is that this is the actual america 250. just a ton of different people coming together, showing people what makes America weird and fun. people being welcoming. and yeah there’s some bullshit too, which is also very true to America! but the good and community far outweighs it rn.

This should absolutely be a red card-worthy offense

Best Norway v England match since 1066 coming up

Between music festivals and tech conferences, I just realized that I’ve spent a non-trivial amount of time with branded lanyards around my neck

Nailed it as usual

This is basically a Democratic campaign ad. Air it as is with no changes.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Current 40-somethings are paying off debt and trying to romanticize tiny homes and vintage IKEA. No wonder they're fed up!

good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands

In-flight wifi is truly Schrödinger’s internet: it both works and doesn’t work at the same time

We are a pitiful nation led by inferiority complexes with deep pockets.

This morning scrolling Bluesky, there is nothing at all in my feed about Putin’s barbaric attack on the Ukraine’s holiest site, the UNESCO protected Lavra so I’m posting this here.

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

Coming back to Bluesky after weeks off today is a trip

Not Giles too 😭 Wrap everyone else who was on Buffy in bubble wrap stat!

Call your reps -- blue, red, purple, it doesn't matter -- about the proposed OMB science funding rule. The house can stop this. Let them know it matters for your district.

Make some noise about this 🧪 www.npr.org/2026/06/03/n...

He's a master of distracting us from crimes he's already committed by continuously committing new crimes. 5 months until the Midterms. #AccountabilityIsComing

Once again, no longer satire bsky.app/profile/npr....

I can’t believe we’re sleepwalking into this shit.

a time-honored tradition for key affiliates of disintegrating Nazi regimes

One problem with self-censorship is it's invisible. We only see the news we see. We might never really have a sense of much important news wasn't reported because of intimidation by Trump, Weiss, Carr, the Ellisons etc.

WE FUCKING DID IT LETTTTSSSSS GOOOOOOOOO

It's a machine that makes you stupid, but it's also a machine that makes you *insufferable* www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I think I may have finally had my a-ha/oh shit moment with AI. On @dev.to: dev.to/annaspies/fr...

Just checked and this is still a startlingly great piece of writing. The escalation between paragraphs! The rhythm! The comma placement!

The headshot guys (Two Dudes Photo) at Sessions are freakin’ miracle workers. I never thought I’d get a headshot I actually liked while over 40

Saw something at Stripe Sessions you’d never see at re:Invent: a queue to the ladies’ bathroom

Someone telling me in 2016 that in 2026 there will be an app that makes the "writing" AI generated for you "sound more human"

"Can tech save the world?" is the wrong question. The right question is "what kind of world do we want to build?", and then the tech can help us get there. It's the re-invented worldview that the tech gives you access to that matters. The tech needs to support that worldview, not dictate it.

This is honestly a fucking assault on democracy.

Disappointing, but not surprising.

Step 1: big enough victory that they can’t claim fraud Step 2:

"You too can stop global authoritarianism with this ONE WEIRD TRICK."

Look at the women at NASA. They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points. And they are doing it all with joy.👇

Let this be a lesson..... Viktor Orban will be the only autocratic to be removed democratically. All the others will have learned from this mistake on how to prevent that from happening, Trump included.

this is a boring take but if we want this from a Dem President in 2029 we need to deliver the type of huge legislative majority Magyar just achieved and not the razor-thin one that Biden was forced to work with.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor and still, they threw him out and you know what? they did it by voting don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

The world's getting awfully big in the window... Coming up on T-minus four hours to splashdown.

Convinced my local bar to stream the Artemis landing #thisistheway

Wishing this fabulously competent—and joyful—crew a safe return to a planet that, frankly, doesn't deserve them.

Something I’ve been thinking about lately since the rise of @atproto.com: I’ve had some sort of online blog since livejournal days (damn that dates me), and would love to consolidate everything I have (tumblr, medium, dev.to, etc.) in one place - is that kind of migration a thing yet?

All of this is totally fine if you just think of Trump as a chaos engineer stress testing the U.S. Constitution.
