My gosh. Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians. Then today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — a group that also organized Gaza screenings of the FIFA matches.

this is a fascinating point. when you buy car insurance its always how much do you drive. No insurance (health, UIM, home) which would all have some increased exposure if youre an avid cyclist asks how much you bike.

had a fun captcha moment, where i was dinged for not identifying a hat that was absolutely a chair/hat image made by AI. I was told i was a robot, by a robot, because another robot said so. The war against the machines isnt violent its just stupid.

id argue it actually is due process. The process that which is due is based on the relative power of the state compared to the charged as well as the punishment. Greater punishment means greater process due. So you just going "oh i wont vote for that guy" takes the same metrics into account.

"OMG, Joshua was racist! That came out of nowhere!" "Did it?" youtu.be/c15O5XfXpdk?...

Everyone who didn't vote for Prop. Q was wrong.

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

Heartbreaking hearing that the woman who Platner raped was hesitant to come forward because she agreed with his politics and didn’t want to damage the movement. If you didn’t already realize, this sort of thing happens a lot you just don’t usually hear about it

We all want what Wall-E had, we all want to meet an elegant baddie that is low-key a little scary with it that you can show all your Items to

Oh Leeeeee Cronin

there are plenty of people taking potshots at this and i don’t really blame them, but we would be in a significantly better place, politically, if our pundits engaged in this kind of public accounting more often

The first episodes seem like it’s just going to be another “oh the suburbs have a secret” show but it’s much more sympathetic to the characters than the initial impression.

The technical term for getting beaten soundly by Belgium in soccer is “getting waffle housed.”

Back in my day, we had little coins called pennies. "Give me five pennies for a nickel," we'd say. On one side was a picture of Abe Lincoln and on the other side was another, smaller, picture of Lincoln.

kudos to the labor law litigator who got this in the paper.

lol of course this guy teaches pop psychology in business school. im impressed how wrong this is.

its going to be so weird when what finally kills Platner is its reveals he plays Tau.

id really recommend the book the rise and fall of the neoliberal order because it talks about how all of this happened.

her pivot to right wing grifter will be inspired

trump sabotaging the iranian national team was the actually fucked up, disqualifying action of the tournet. this stuff is just run of the mill fifa bullshit

Hear me out

personally I think FIFA should throw everyone a curveball and say Mamdani convinced them to rescind the suspension

Centrists can do two things in response to leftists: social democratic reforms or align with the fascists. This somehow argues for neither.

Flipping this around, I once did a script consult and gave the note “This trans character feels like she jumped out of a cis psychiatrist’s notes from the 1980s,” and the writer responded, “Yes that’s what I based her on!”

Makes me feel insane how many people are like “here’s how this will affect cis people” as if the suffering of trans women, the actual target of this hate campaign and legislative oppression, is just an afterthought

Me starting Dune Messiah when it's been years since I read the first one:

I hope Mexico beats England today as revenge for Mexico week on the Great British Bake-off

It’s a shame that bad ass poster for the Mexico England game was AI. Anyway, this one I made quickly on the bike at the gym isn’t
