IDK maybe people would be less mad about court assignments if we stopped calling GA courts "outer courts".

This is wildly common in chronic illness because doctors are taught to cure and not treat. So they’re not flexible or imaginative and if it doesn’t work the way they were taught or expect they can’t just mark it in their win column so it’s not worth their time and now you’re making them work

No matter how bad you think colonialism was, it was worse. (And it's not actually over.) "UK museums hold more than 263,000 items of human remains from around the world, including whole skeletons, preserved bodies, such as Egyptian mummies, skulls, bones, skin, teeth, nails, scalps and hair."

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Indian Wells brings up the issue of Larry Ellison. We had no choice, we had to podcast about Larry Ellison and our collapsing world. Also Sabs is engaged, Ticketmaster is sued and more podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

There is absolutely zero explanation for hitting targets like this unless your objective is to destroy any possibility of normal life and produce mass civilian death. Completely unjustifiable and another war crime. We saw this thirty years ago in Iraq.

wtf??? this industry is like a children’s cartoon about evil nerds experiencing psychosis

the confusing thing to me about extended masters/1000s: you increase the draw and add days, but now the first two days (where no Top 32 seeds are playing) always feel like a soft open. and i find it odd that this is desired. i get the money argument. i just...hate the money arg? feels flat.

Explains why so many school children are dead

Buried lede: Meta sends all your nudes to Kenya where humans annotate it and feed it to AI

Play at the ATP Challenger in Fujairah, UAE has been canceled for the day because of an oil refinery fire caused by drone attacks. This is absurd. Why they ever continued with this tournament is beyond me. Treating the threat of literal death like it's a rain delay that they hope passes.

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

“Even my mum was cheering for Roger” 💀

You know the rules...

Baby gets measles at 7 months of age. Survives but measles isn't done with him. When he is 7 years old, he gets Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis, which is fatal Stage I – Behavioral/cognitive change Stage II – Motor dysfunction Stage III – Severe deterioration Stage IV – Vegetative state ➡️ death

I guess when you've recently shitcanned your entire Middle East reporting team, the only alternative is to sit on your duff and wait to see what the utterly trustworthy military found out.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

appealing to Larry Ellison is ironic given what's occurred over the past day. But I don't expect a similar post about "getting everybody out of" Dubai

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

The timing of the initial strikes is unusual. Often you see these types of operations launched in the pre-dawn hours at the target site partly to limit civilian casualties. This operation began at the beginning of a work and school day, with millions of adult civilians and children in harms way.

The Labour Party now think I am a far-left extremist because I support policies that were in the 2017 and 2019 Labour Party manifestos.

Israel is responsible for two in three journalist killings across the globe in 2024 and 2025. The Israeli military has committed more targeted killings of journalists than any other government’s military since CPJ began documentation in 1992. Read more in CPJ’s #2025KilledReport: cpj.org?p=553549

dont make me tap the sign

I was losing my fuckin mind yesterday hearing people talk about how the US hadn't won a gold medal in hockey in 46 years

While the men are laughing at DJT’s misogynist jokes, 2x Olympic gold medalist, 2x PWHL champion & 2x NCAA champion Kelly Pannek is speaking eloquently about Alex Pretti’s death, the power of community, and leadership in groups of people with disparate opinions. WOMEN’S SPORTS >

No one can say they didn’t know.

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

OpenAI employees pushed for the company to inform Canadian police about a user they thought would engage in real-world violence months before the person did just that, killing eight people in a horrific attack in Tumbler Ridge. The company only reached out to police after the shooting had occurred.

Time for the gov't of Canada to sue OpenAI to oblivion.

the glorious constitutional principle of "the president can't fuck with Supreme Court justices' investment portfolios" stands strong

Science is amazing.

Rublev vs Tsitsipas feels like a throwback match and it’s making me feel old

$400 of that is for the data center that enabled someone to churn out a “Black Art” meme of Jesse Jackson and Malcolm X looking cross-eyed at each other in Heaven

They probably won't cut Andrew's head off with a carving knife after five blows from a dull axe

The BBC interrupting their Olympic coverage to tell me that (ex) Prince Andrew has been arrested is so quintessentially British.

If you heard of a Ukrainian athlete banned from the Olympics because he wanted to grieve his friends, or the removal of Toussaint Louverture from Haiti’s uniforms it may intrigue you to know the rule responsible for this only emerged after a black power salute in 1968: www.ebony.com/haiti-2026-o...

Olympic highlight in this house.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Your interpretation of what you read is more precious than what any critic or scholar has said about what you read, & far more precious than any kind of summary AI can give you of written material. The work is supposed to go inside of YOU & work with what's inside of you to have a home there.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

Can we just fast track Jess to Tennis Commissioner why are we wasting everyone’s time

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

"AI detectors" are themselves AI, and yet are endlessly trusted by people on here if they say that a newspaper article is AI. AI detectors are snake oil. None of them reliably works. And UK broadsheet are not yet using AI to write articles. No, that link to the deal you found doesn't prove it.

Incredible commentary from this Swiss announcer, who accurately characterizes the Israeli team as "Self-defined zionist to the core...who posted several messages in favour of the genocide in Gaza...calling it ‘the most morally just war in history.’” Solidarity to a real one.
