New meme just dropped

This is an indictment of our education system!! How do the employees not know the story of the Trojan horse?!?

How far do we think Messi could kick a muppet

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

Solid life lesson from England and France tonight that you achieve so much more when you don't fear failure.

Taco Bell: Keep Records Más

Now they're doing what we call "trace forward" in the food biz. "Now that we have a suspect [lettuce from X farm].....where ELSE did that lettuce go?" In other words, a whole lot of companies were probably serving that lettuce! Taco Bell just had a good tracking program, so they found it first!

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

The more I see this kind of stuff, the more angry all the "don't worry, Trump can't steal the midterms" posts make me. Elections in the US are very often close. You don't have to do a lot of fuckery around the margins to make a big difference.

If Odysseus had just given his sailors testosterone injections, it wouldn’t have taken him 10 years to get home.

So weird how many times spousal abuse is an indicator of even deeper problems that erupt later. If only we could take spousal abuse more seriously as a society. But of course we can't. Sorry, no. Why? Reasons.

@dkthomp.bsky.social could've used a spoiler warning on the latest episode about this new Odyssey story!

This is how you cover this president. 💯

Oyer: "2 days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser..."

TIL The Blue Angels are part of the US military. I always thought they were sort of like the Harlem Globetrotters of military jets!

There’s a pattern here. When earlier periods of skilled practice are treated as more fully human, the social order that produced them can easily appear better than what replaced it. The past, then, seems superior to the present. aeon.co/essays/the-r...

Trump curse is undefeated.

Why I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.

Ted Cruz is the latest of a string of Republican senators to push an agreeing Blanche to ban the mailing of mifepristone. They're coming for abortion pills next.

When I found out my former editor Kelley Benham French was helping w/a story on the most infamous photo from July 4, I knew it would be special. Read this amazing piece on how a photo, taken in a troubling moment, reveals so much about truth and assumption in today’s media. https://loom.ly/-kUCN40

On the language of Homeric Greek, and the language of a certain forthcoming film: here are a few simple observations.

New Siri is good. I can’t believe it.

Get rid of your imposter syndrome (which tends to afflict smart people more than dumb people anyway). NO ONE is a "real expert." You have every right to be there. And you can make an enormous difference if you're in the room at the right time. Get involved. Participate. You can matter.

An amazing quote from Lindsey Graham in this Atlantic story. It really captures an essential truth about politics that too few people ever really come to terms with. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Person is eaten in Dahmer-involved gastronomy

Dear Democratic politicians, Lindsey Graham deliberately chose to spend his last years making the lives of people in the US and abroad as miserable as possible. The fact that he also had that certain brand of charming southern geniality for his colleagues makes it worse, actually.

It's pleasant to assume an afterlife, and moreso, an indulgent diety that permits even wayward and debased creatures to tred upon its better acreage. By doing so, we can right now imagine Lindsey Graham meeting John McCain and with one look from his old friend knowing he had covered himself in shit.

Switching to Telemundo before I fall asleep.

I just finished listening to this podcast and now feel like Jim Steinman was co-parenting me as I grew up in the 80s! Highly recommend! I had no idea all the ways he influenced my teen music diet.

"the French have really quieted the Moroccans"

Are Thierry and Zlatan contractually obligated to mention Tom Brady?

Let's do some popularism!

He’s 100% gonna be a fixture on the MAGA or MAGA-adjacent grifter circuit before November and blame it all on woke.

This doesn’t seem to be getting enough attention… so heartbreaking and shameful. www.thebulwark.com/p/he-lived-h...

I’m sorry, but this video of Belgium’s squad mocking Trump in their locker room after demolishing the USMNT is hilarious.

Not saying that game was stolen from Egypt but it is now on display at museum in London.

I’m hearing unconfirmed reports that the president has called in a request for an extra 20 minutes of stoppage time.

Trump should have to eat his McDonalds fries with mayo for the rest of his days

Seems early to pull the goalie.

That’s what happens when you get rid of the department of defense
