GOAL IRELAND HOLY SHIT!!!

i looked yesterday and there's no way i could have gone to this game in my own city for less than $200. to watch...maybe 3 first choice players play

BUZZARD (Joel Potrykus, 2015)

Jack the Ripper: 'Women of London Have Become Amoral and Contemptible' The Chronicle remains 'The Chronicle of People who Work in, and Despise, Higher Education'

Paramount, Netflix, and Comcast are putting in bids for Warner Bros. Discovery. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was, in the long run, a very bad idea with disastrous consequences. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Hast thou seen the White Whale?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The New York financier?

there have been few times in my lifetime where i could really be proud to be an american but these days it is just extra extra humiliating

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

This is my favorite part of this cycle we've been repeating for my entire adult life: when they sit backwards on the chair for some real talk and explain that you're a fucking peasant who doesn't understand how things work.

America: Wreck coded

This term is so social media-brained. Coined by people who can't imagine themselves without an audience, or that anyone could genuinely want to pass time in any other form than Stare at Phone

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

if it isn't primary it's gonna be some other verb

they’re calling it “horseglue” sunday

If the political opposition doesn’t put these ICE & CBP institutional criminals in prison, annihilate their budgets, purge the datasets and repeal their authorities, this will keep happening. And that opposition will reveal itself as a false, controlled opposition that is no less predatory on people

Exactly -- austerity for everyone, except digital IT, especially AI. At one CT university, 44% of new allocations when to AI projects and another large chunk to the new School of Healthcare. Everyone else can get crumbs.

You know those 24-hour Criterion flash sales that come & go before you can even decide which movies to spend too much money on? Well, Barnes & Noble is offering 50% off all Criterion titles for the next _month_. Let the seasonal physical-media-hoarding begin! www.barnesandnoble.com/b/the-criter...

virtue signalling is good actually

Peter Coviello isn't on Bluesky, but this definitely should be: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

It seems easy to misunderstand this phrase so let me be clear: "Nuremburg trials is the moderate position" was also the reading of the situation the first time.

Your employer cares about you! That's why we want to offer you some resources that, if you are facing difficulty, dealing with addiction, or considering self-harm, WILL ALLOW YOU TO KEEP WORKING

We had fucking congressional hearings over Mortal Kombat.

That's one small sub for a man, one giant footlong hero for mankind.

but people *love* my rude or impolite posts including crude language and disrespectful language, without constructive purpose!

oh jfc

I am not a New Yorker so it is truly none of my business but watching self-styled serious, centrist figures line up behind a serial sex pest, obstructionist legacy case who also happened to be an utter incompetent and unrepentant racist...people shouldn't forget who beclowned themselves thusly.

this genuinely feels like a moment history books will look back on where the Democratic Party was forced to either fix its hearts or die

defector is a good website

why hire a bright young scholar in some "fake discipline" in the humanities for like $60k when you can spent 10x the amount on a stunt celebrity hire for an entirely made-up class on fraud apps news.asu.edu/20250924-uni...

Ahh that’s a shame

You know upper admin is really getting ready to fuck you over when they start talking about the need for faculty to be "flexible."

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

world soccer is just becoming college soccer

meanwhile, the playoffs in MLS remain bonkers

insane sport

bayern is just murdering everyone this year sheesh

If you're in need of positive and rather wholesome news, there's a high school teacher named Bryan who took a ton of freely licensed celebrity headshots at the New York Film Festival last month for Wikipedia, and I truly can't believe how drastic the upgrade is for some articles (thread)

I understand that it's all in good fun / for a good cause / students think of me as someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously but no, i do not volunteer to be hit with a pie in the face, i have done so much work to learn that i do not need to debase myself to earn the love of others

STANKONIA is 25 years old and it still sounds like it's from the future. Like...really really listen to this. Outrageous. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVeh...
