I’ve lived in Beijing too. They don’t have elections.

Taylor farms , owned by a Trump donor, supplies bagged lettuce to *everywhere*. Taco bell did the right thing proactively, and they are getting all the blame. The blame lies with RFK period. Taco bell being the fall guy is crazy.

Re: cyclospora, Taco Bell having ethics and going "you know what, it's always the fucking lettuce, why don't we just pull that until we know what's going on" resulting in all the outlets going "LETTUCE SOLD AT TACO BELL LINKED TO EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA" is a fantastic way to discourage ethics in future.

When I told my mom that Kirk Gibson had Parkinson's she talked about how a big reason she watched Tigers games with me back in the day was because she liked to look at his butt when he ran and, folks, that took years to recover from. bsky.app/profile/theo...

We are all going to have so many kinds of diarrhea

I'm sorry, is that a FORMER AUBURN FOOTBALL COACH trying to lecture people about following the rules in the pursuit of winning?

“no talking about climate change and wildfires tonight" why? "you talk about it everytime, it's embarrassing" ok [after one beer] uh oh y'all it's gettin kinda hazy

"Four or five non-wins" would be a generously forgiving nickname for all but three of Tommy Tuberville's 21 seasons

THERAPIST: You always show up to our sessions as Mad Max. But what about Sad Max? Glad Max? I know those are a part of you as well.

it is absolutely untrue that this is a representation of the actual haggis and that we made up the shit about the cryptid with different length legs so it can run along hillsides as a diversion from the true aquatic nature of the haggis, if you've ever heard that rumour it's false

How did drilling in the north sea, a policy that has relatively no advantages whatsoever, become some kind of test of political seriousness? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Hollywood baffled at largest ever feline attendance at opening night,

We will be in a situation in early 2027, where the Supreme Court will have to intervene to try and install duly elected democratic majorities in both houses of Congress. Will that work? Idk. And even if it does, every day Trump will say they are illegitimate.

I’m finally going to listen to my doctor and eat more vegetables and get more fresh air

"Stop criticizing us or will keep murdering people" is just a jaw-dropping thing for a government official to say.

Sooner or later, for everyone on the planet, Lego will release a set that’s irresistible for you personally

Ludicrous petty rules. Add gross incompetence, including lack of communication on all government fronts. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The idea that the minister in charge of the department delivering this level of performative cruelty should be appointed to any high office is incredible. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's berry season and you have the tiniest friends. These critically endangered babies are Egyptian tortoises that hatched on July 4 and 6, 2026. Currently, our Egyptian tortoises are living behind the scenes in a warm and cozy habitat with lots of attention from their dedicated animal keepers.

Soon be time for club football; we can all go back to hating each other based on towns on a tiny island again, in the cold.

The ONLY post that matters tonight

Me watching the final

England are losing, and John Stones is down injured. The camera cuts to Mick Jagger. Guy Mowbray says some pre-scripted thing about "He won't be feeling much satisfaction." YES BUT THERE'S A PLAYER CALLED 'STONES' DOWN INJURED. MOWBRAY! YOU HAD ONE JOB.

*1 prime minister until the next World Cup next year in Brazil

whoever wins Argentina v Spain gets possession of the word vosotros

Me, a bellend: "this doesn't look sustainable" Tuchel, a tactical genius: "these Argentinan lads don't look like scoring, they keep missing by centimeters"

Well that wasn’t too far off

Saladin in 1189:

questionable decisions aside from that match, Egypt could have surely told you something about trying to hang onto a lead against Argentina? Four KO rounds this World Cup, La Albiceleste won them ET, stoppage, ET, stoppage 🤷

not a single player is trash on that pitch Tuchel otoh

(wistful John Mulaney Mick Jagger voice) No!

English Football right now…

Gotta give it up for Argentina. They studied “Atlanta” stadium well. They knew they never wanted to have a lead there they could blow. That’s just smart planning.

I think I can risk saying that I actually quite admire a number of the England players and that’s a tough way to go out And I don’t want to start in on a German manager But deciding to sit deep on a 1 goal lead from the 56th minute & those subs, what on earth could he have been thinking

Commiserations to our friends and family over the border in Stockbridge tonight.

Result of an insanely unambitious strategy of locking down after going one up. England were never going to hold it. Absurd. Pickford has had to carry England’s entire second half.
