Political scientist here: this is not funny, democracies only do this when they're in extreme distress

this goalkeeper is ridiculous

Lol, when the British commentators lapse into fan-griping

I get the hate & I also cheer for the global south but when it comes to the World Cup, can't help but feel for England.

So this is 100% correct. Latin Mass trads derive from Vichy/ Nazi elements of the church, which Vatican 2 was a direct response to Look up nouvelle theologie and the Jesuits of Lyon

Ocean surface temperatures hit record high as world enters ‘uncharted territory,’ scientists warn “The planet is warming because we’re emitting vast quantities of greenhouse gasses, primarily from fossil fuel burning,” one expert said. www.nbcnews.com/science/clim...

The indifference (at best) to the effects of so very many things on the people who live and work in D.C. is thorough and constant.

You can "own the libs" on climate change all day long and yet your water is still going to dry up.

I watched Morocco v Netherlands & NED struck me as complacent. I like to spot signs that there's tension on the team or between players and the coach. Did not detect any. They were just on their heels & very defensive.

BREAKING: More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the U.S. hours before the earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapsed.

I'm going to have to take a "three breath journey" just bring my parasympathetic nervous system back on track.

Unbelievable. I've been in Germany when they exit the World Cup this early & let me tell you...the discourse ain't pretty.

My cortisol is so spiked & I don't even have a dog in this fight.

This goalie is ridiculous.

Holy moly. Holy moly.

Paraguay’s goalie well on his way to being the Michelob Ultra Player of the Game with this performance in Progressive Overtime that’s about to head into Lexus Stoppage Time

If you (perversely) love penalty shoot-outs, now is your time. It's gone to penalties for Germany v Paraguay

Wow. I might get a yellow card just for watching this game.

Joining this game late but in time to see goal disallowed. Wow. Honestly I did think it was a foul before the VAR.

Re-upping this story, this time with a report from NYT

Princeton greenwashed fossil fuels and essentially lied about carbon capture in return for cash from BP. www.propublica.org/article/wedg...

firefighters were involved in a "burnover incident", which refers to when officials are unable to find an escape route, so have to shelter as best they can while a fire passes directly over them.

Too bad for team Czechia, but nice to see the Texas welcome mat rolled out for them. So many Czechs in Texas! When I was a bone marrow donor, my match was a woman in Texas.

French Resistance fighter and historian Marc Bloch, murdered by the Gestapo in 1944, is inducted into Panthéon in Paris.

This is a terrible disaster. Magnitude 7.5 earthquake in Venezuela, minutes after another M7.2. More than half a million people exposed to “severe or violent” shaking, and best estimates suggesting tens of thousands may have been killed earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

I'll be cheering on the Czech Republic tonight. It's a gutsy squad. Not really the most talented of our recent past (Cech; Nedved; Rosický). But they did qualify & part of the reason why is...they're really pretty gutsy.

U.S. Rep Frank Pallone backs national moratorium on AI data centers

In 2025, USAID stopped funding clean water in Goma, DRC. Goma then suffered the worst cholera outbreak in 25 years, with 1,479 deaths, a 361% increase. Every one of those people had a name www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/issu...

In Cote D’Ivoire, 70% of HIV medication was provided by USAID via PEPFAR. Over 2,000 health clinics have closed globally due to USAID cuts. In Somalia, child malnutrition has risen 73%

For the first time in 30 years, child deaths are now rising, in large part due to USAID cuts Lancet modelling shows USAID cuts will cause 14 million deaths including 4.5m children, by 2030. Independent CGDev research backs this up

I commend this to you b/c it's important in its own right & also emblematic of so much. Some defend from attacks by simplifying the story & valorizing the status quo, but doing so is a terrible missed opportunity.

England can’t get it done in Massachusetts yet again. Happy 250th

Trump screwing up a construction project = scandal because it cuts against his public image in a way that media outlets can hammer without making value judgments about policy Trump implementing Project 2025 after lying about it, resulting in mass death and suffering = just another day at the office

Spoke to @wsj.com about today’s Senate vote on an Iran resolution. “Even if it’s not binding as such, it still has legal effect in as much as it represents Congress’s view of the allocation of war powers and that the president doesn’t have authority to conduct this war.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

NEW: A majority of voters across party lines support a data center moratorium. Sixty-seven percent of Democrats, 66% of Independents, and 58% of Republicans support pausing the construction of new AI data centers for at least one year.
