Hans Globke 🤝 the Minions Giving wholly unconvincing answers about what they did between 1933 and 1945

POV, you're John Archer and a brigade wearing black hats just arrived on the field in front of you

Reckon it’s about that time of year

COOL DOWN TIME! We asked you to choose the 10 most beautiful seaplanes & flying boats, and you made some excellent choices. Grab a cold one and prepare for pleasure! All 10 here, so bloody gorgeous: hushkit.substack.com/p/10-most-be...

Spent years building up a big following on Twitter, essential for publicising my aviation blog, which I live from. Desperate to leave it & publicise on nicer platforms, but I have too few follows. If you want to help me escape, do give this a share. Much obliged. My blog here: hushkit.substack.com

Taking a look at the trending topics, I feel like reminding people that Teddy Roosevelt would have beat MWM into a bloody pulp and laughed about it from the pulpit afterwards.

Nationals pitcher Cade Cavalli screams 'Sit down, boy!' at Red Sox 1B Wilson Contreras upon striking him out. Brouhaha ensues and benches clear. Contreras is ejected from the game. Cavalli is not. Protesting a racist epithet gets you thrown out, but throw the racist epithet and you get off free.

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

A member of my family pays over 1,500$ per month for health insurance.

We definitely need a new term for this kind of person, and I propose “prolapsed Catholic.”

READ THEORY

this is a supervillian monologue from a 80s coming of age movie

At least 233 people have been sickened in eight outbreaks that regulators have connected to Mark McAfee’s farm since 2006, and at least 40 of them have been hospitalized. The tally is almost certainly an undercount, experts and regulators said. By @anniewaldman.bsky.social

I’m not as anti-gambling as some people on this website but it should be treated like alcohol and cigarettes, a luxury that gets taxed to shit for the public benefit

Distracting myself from The Horrors by watching a show with a terrible "will they, won't they?" thing going between two characters with ZERO on-screen chemistry. Oh good, he's engaged to someone else and she's about to tank her career so she can stay and make eyes at him until he breaks it off!

The state exhibit halls are one small room per state. The rooms are lightly air conditioned, which is nice. The Louisiana room makes Louisiana seem boring as hell. I dunno, feel like making Louisiana seem boring takes actual work.

Please, please, please do cashapp if you can! I prob should have made this more clear on the post. My bad. But it's essential so I can see the funds and pay! When I get a phone, this won't be necessary. If you can help cover the hotel for a few days - I can finally fundraise for the phone too!

Somehow, the ballroom will end up full of green algae.

speaking generally, I think the no. 1 thing you can do as a cis ally is help a trans woman get a job

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

I’m actually baffled by this because you’d think at least the MAGAs would show up.

if you're trans, you have to live. one day you can live to see these guys all die.

literally one day apart. goldfish would scoff at this lack of object permanence

The fact that four of the justices read “all persons born in the US are citizens of the US” and then said that ending birthright citizenship is totally fine is more proof that all the “constitutional conservatism” and “textualism” is pure bullshit They’re just unabashed hacks

Clarence Thomas's concurring opinion in the trans sports ban case in West Virginia contains some of the ugliest transphobic stuff I have ever seen in a legal opinion. Straight-up gleeful. Vile man. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Supreme Court wants you to know that rich people are the only people they care about and the only people whose rights matter

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

the only British official to still hold any real legitimacy and popularity

DAR: gives out an award for the best US history student at each of the high schools in the city of Hampton including one very progressive little Black girl [Decades pass] DAR: "trans rights are human rights" I'm not saying I *caused* this to happen but...

Now that's a headline

even if it was good policy, this shit is completely ancillary to the goal of actually limiting the power of big tech. Elon Musk has a trillion dollars and is trying to start a global race war, your response to that can’t be “kids should be on their phones less”

Bellingcat has received satellite imagery from Planet Labs PBC that shows one the areas worst affected by the recent earthquakes in Venezuela www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/06...

Elon Musk and Russian-Israeli networks are promoting a right-wing murder fantasy, where a "US businessman / slumlord" (played by an actor previously accused of rape & cannibalism) goes on a killing spree in Europe. It's being used as an obvious dog whistle to encourage violence.

fwiw the plan is a kind-of-whatever grab bag of sensible regulations (ban surveillance advertising) and dumb ideas (presidential address on teen smartphone use?) but the below is a deceptively negative description of what the actual plan says www.project2029foramerica.org/post/kids-ov...

Tried to read Gorsuch's concurrence in Trump v. Slaughter but the hypocrisy in the first sentence was already too much. Quick question, Neil: how many times have you held Trump to "his constitutional duty to ensure the laws are faithfully executed?" And how many times have you let him violate it?

Another immigrant has died in the custody of ICE. Felix Alcorta-Rodriguez is at least the 20th reported ICE death in 2026. The 63-year-old immigrant from Mexico was found unconscious the night of June 19 while detained at the Webb County Detention Center in Laredo, Texas.

Following the detonation of a bomb in Monaco, Minister of State of the Principality of Monaco confirmed that the explosion was likely an attack and that the device was likely equipped with bolts and other materials for maximum damage. All of the victims are of Ukrainian origin.-AFP

this where it becomes so obvious that the political theory of the court is basically Bonapartist

yes. you cannot win calvinball by taking advantage of the new rules. you have to fire the refs

I don’t have much to say about Slaughter, and honestly I think we do too much justice to the Roberts Court by treating its opinions like serious judicial reasoning. But I will say that it’s striking how openly the court treats congressional oversight as somehow antithetical to democratic government

>pancake eating contest >winner determined by audience applause ???

The three branches of the United States government, as delineated in the Constitution, are the God Emperor, The High Council of the Six Ayatollahs, and the Federal Reserve

The Supreme Court Gives Donald Trump Full Control Over the Executive Branch, Except the Part of It that Impacts Their Retirement Portfolios

It’s June 28 and Kyle Schwarber has THIRTY home runs
