forget who pointed out we've done big catastrophic experiments with tariff economies three times in this nation's 250 year history, each time it takes about a century for all the people who remember how badly it went last time to die off and some young fucking asshole to say hey okay but THIS time!

... I am literally adding school kids saying 'No grandma that's stupid that's just right-wing propaganda' to the list of reasons for this now. In addition to Tiktok Gaza protests and the need to protect online gambling companies from underage users who can't have contracts enforced against them.

Found a thread for summa y'all

Put Everett True in a fighting game, make him a grappler and I'll main him day one.

The Illusionist is good. Sylvain Chomet is good. Watch Triplets of Belleville while you're at it, everyone

1000 evaluators given identical resumes & told candidate used AI. Only difference on resumes was candidate’s name: Emily vs James. Study found women using AI are evaluated as less competent than men who use AI...To evaluators, women’s AI use signaled inability, while men’s AI use signaled initiative

“fuck all yall” — bob from chicago

She can smell it.

This makes me miss NYC. Even without fireworks, that subway ride between Brooklyn and Manhattan across the bridge and over the river never failed to take my breath away.

It’s my 19th ancient relic from each country in the #WorldCup. It’s GERMANY 🇩🇪 The Nebra sky disc is a bronze disc (now with a beautiful turquoise patina) inlaid with gold symbols. These are probably the Sun, a crescent moon & stars, including a cluster of 7 stars (maybe the Pleiades?). 🕰️c1800BC

It’s my 21st ancient relic from each country in the #WorldCup. It’s HAITI 🇭🇹 Haiti gained independence from France by revolution, the first black nation to break from European colonial rule (IIRC). This is the Sans-Souci Palace built in 1810 by Haiti’s first king, Henry I, also pictured.

It’s my 27th ancient relic from each country in the #WorldCup. It’s MOROCCO 🇲🇦 This is the Qubba, built in c.1125 by the Almoravid dynasty in Marrakech. It was attached to the nearby Ben Youssef mosque and was used for ablutions prior to prayer. Its interior decoration is rightly famous.

It’s my 28th ancient relic from each country in the #WorldCup. It’s NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱 The oldest planetarium in the world was built in Friesland from 1774 to 1781 by Eise Eisinga, a wool carder & amateur astronomer. It was built into the roof of the living room of his canal house.

It’s my 29th ancient relic from each country in the #WorldCup. It’s NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿 This is a Māori hei tiki (ornamental pendent) made from jade, known in Māori as pounamu. Hei tiki had, and still have, powerful ritual meaning and are symbols of good luck, fertility & connection to your ancestors.

It’s my 30th ancient relic from each country in the #WorldCup. It’s NORWAY 🇳🇴 This is the Oseberg ship. It was unearthed in a Viking ship burial in the early 1900s. Whilst it wasn’t buried earlier than 834, experts think parts of the ship may date to 800. It’s now in the Viking ship museum in Oslo

It’s my 31st ancient relic from each country in the #WorldCup. It’s PANAMA 🇵🇦 This golden plaque depicts a highly stylised, rather sinister grinning (grimacing? wrathful?) face & was found at the Sitio Conte necropolis. It’s likely this plaque was placed in the grave of an elite figure.

It’s my 35th ancient site from each country in the #WorldCup. It’s SAUDI ARABIA 🇸🇦 The Ha’il region contains a large area of ancient rock art spanning 10,000 years. These petroglyphs depict camels, so are more recent as they became domesticated in Arabia. But they are still around 3-4000 years old.

It’s my 38th ancient site from each country in the #WorldCup. It’s SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 These are 2 of the 7 Lydenburg Heads, terracotta sculptures thought to be the earliest known Iron Age artefacts found in southern Africa. Though their purpose is unknown, it’s likely linked to ritual/ceremonial

It’s my 40th ancient relic from each country in the #WorldCup It’s SWEDEN 🇸🇪 These are two Viking era helmets found at the Valsgårde necropolis. The site was used for burials from C6th to C11th AD including in later periods grand ship burials. These two examples are magnificent.

It’s my 41st ancient site from each country in the #WorldCup It’s SWITZERLAND🇨🇭In April 2026, an amazing Roman shipwreck was found in Lake Neuchâtel. It contained 1,000 pieces of kitchen ceramics destined for a Roman army camp. One of the crates has been dated to 17AD. Coins were also found

I think I'm on my longest ever streak, EVER, of doing shows (ALA, CAKE, speaking at c2E2, etc.) and NOT coming home with a cold. I'm masking FOREVER.

THIS IS A GORGEOUS BOOK. Cover to cover with vibrant worlds and creatures. I was blown away by the quality of it!

What’s that meme or Twitter screenshot about not taking advice from someone who has no interest in your success? the @chicagotribune.com does not give a shit about a strong Democratic Party. The paper has been between center right and far right for longer than I’ve been alive

You can't keep calling it inflation when corporate profit margins surged upwards of 75%, accounting for roughly 40% of the total inflation seen since the pandemic began. Corporations raised prices to boost profits, used inflation as a shield, and never dropped prices again.

Pope Bob's behavior ever since his elevation is making it incredibly obvious why the Cardinals all broke their (supposedly extant-but-unspoken) "No American Popes" rule.

Trying to explain to my younger self that the government and the Pope are having a fight and I am siding with the Catholic Church.

guys we HAVE to get rid of DEI. it’s about FAIRNESS

It's tragically appropriate that we spent a whole generation telling students that the humanities were moribund, and they should all study STEM, only for the greatest innovations in STEM to prove why the humanities were so essential all along.

The people nervously getting in line at the time was so immediately humiliating. Crazy to me people viewed it as a mandate. Now we're dealing with the detritus of greenlit projects from that across all media and it turns out 100% of it sucks shit.

The “vibe shift” proclaimed Nov. 2024 - Jan. 2025 was just some elites—in business, media, law, and some higher ed admins—who kinda liked the fascism and gave themselves permission to accommodate it. That’s all it ever was. A close presidential election is not somehow a binding cultural referendum.

“We’re told that the aerial image of the crowds from his rally last week enraged him so much that officials ended up deleting them,” CNN’s Kaitlan Collins reported. trib.al/FXoWSlA
