I can't believe Cristiano Ronaldo would be accused of rape and then hold his team back when he's totally washed, massive disrespect of Kobe Bryant's legacy

Tune in LIVE to be throttled by the truth. Stream wherever you want to be perceived.

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

Here's Cade Cavalli striking out Willson Contreras and screaming "sit down boy!" at him. Really nice and a great week for it. Does Manfred 1) do the obvious thing or 2) do nothing because he doesn't want a Turning Point spokesman to do a viral tweet about how he won't watch baseball anymore

RIP

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

Gonna be honest the SoftBank goose has really made my week. It’s so funny. It’s a perfect monument to the business idiots and what they imagine AI could be for no imaginable reason other than their willingness to be regulated by the wallet inspector. It’s indefensibly stupid.

A forgotten name on a Penguin book cover led me to a cache of Burberry illustrations rescued from a skip, a Vogue profile of a "spy writer's wife" and a story of how easily women's creative lives can disappear. open.substack.com/pub/stillske... #illustration #womensart #midcentury

BREAKING: Goose value 71

nice blank word doc you got there. would be a shame if something gets written in it

James Carville got so confused by democrats winning that he quit.

Technically, they’re Remains now.

Why are you like this, NYer?

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

Another sentence that has never been written, perhaps never even imagined, until now

The real concern is that he’s talking about the lamp.

Kind of incredible, the extent to which Trump and his administration have molded their entire public persona around lip-smacking, tented-fingers, cartoon evil

v grateful that @pitchfork.com gave me the chance to write about some recordings i've loved for a long time - hope your weekend has some cookin, steamin, and relaxin (i guess workin too) pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa, translated by Margaret Jull Costa. Published by the Half Pint Press, London, 2017. There were only 50 copies of this made for sale (out of a total run of 80), so I thought I’d share as much of it as I can. Numbering of fragments follows the 1982 edition.

Teachers after running out the clock on the last day.

The media is going to say that Iran fought to a draw, but let’s wait to see the final terms before we judge.

I’M SO TIRED: A GO TO SLEEP MYSTERY

I'm so high on moderate to severe ulcerative colitis medication I barely even notice them

The Knicks were down 27 at halftime and looking absolutely desolate. All was lost. Until ... “Had to give ’em a little Wu-Tang prayer, nahmean?” Ghostface Killah told me. At Y! Sports: I wrote about the greatest comeback in NBA history. yhoo.it/3ShQDPX

mamdani put that game on bus stop tvs and wu tang clan did halftime and it was like saging the entire city of new york

I think this is what NYC must have felt like during the events seen in the documentary Ghostbusters

Cast of Laocoön and his Sons (Roman version of a lost Greek original), 100BC-50AD

This image is profound to me in ways I still can't quite comprehend. It's Jack Torrance in the New Year's Eve pic from The Shining. (I'm not quite sure what the visibly miserable Melania in the poncho represents, there. The guy in the bear suit?)

A funny way for a secret service agent to get fired would be to whisper “Sir, they want you to shoot a free throw before the game” and see how far they can get

Personally, I would put the final theory first - the curriculum most students have experienced does not allow them to practice the kind of reading (or writing) expected of them in college. It predates smartphones. Also, I've had an iPhone longer than any of these students and I can still read.

This is exactly it. The work is the point.

This arrived via Ruth Ozecki - a friend of hers was trying to remember the name of my audio essay collection, Into the Zone, and made the mistake of asking Chat GPT. Cue a really weird recursive Joan Didion loop ...

knicks fans have to arrive two hours early to msg, being in nothing, and the watch parties are canceled so that the president can watch the finals for like one quarter of ball. get a job, stay away from us.

Tove Jansson’s SUN CITY came from her fascination with retirement communities she saw in the US. This may be my favorite of her novels, partly because the setting of Florida and the mix of amnesia, conspiracy, ‘waiting for Jesus’, and alienation feels contemporary. Extraordinary. NYRB.

Got my eyes on that Anna Segers 👀

It could be that the milk was raw

The conservative movement explicitly, no-shit, no-other-explanation believes that an educated populace is directly opposed to their vision of a peasant class having 15 kids and building wealth for the Chosen Few Elites forever and want to repeal the 20th and the 19th century to achieve that goal

I’ve taught both composition and literature courses at Stanford for three decades, published six books. Struggling to find the right words improves both writing and the ideas. Writing is thinking.

tfw you're reënergized for the N.B.A. Finals

Just a reminder: The Guardian entered a strategic partnership with OpenAI a little while back, so any time you see an article like this from them, you can immediately dismiss it as not credible journalism but just Sam Altman getting his money’s worth.

WE MUST lol nope

Have I killed anybody?? What a ridiculous question! I have never killed anybody, except for when I was a child and during my missionary work, of course.

This is 4′33″ for people who don’t have their kids’ current addresses

The problem is that “I am often scared and angry about social change” does not inherently lend itself to interesting art. You can be as technically skilled as the greats, but art with nothing interesting to say is just a commodity.

Being an American during the 250th Aniversary of the United States feels a lot like if the terrorists in Die Hard demanded that the hostages continue having their Christmas party.
