The real grade inflation is how every veteran in every action move is "highly decorated, the best-of-the-best"

every time trump is president you gotta wash your groceries

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.

Oof. I assume there was some reason they subbed Gordon out, but he was so much of their ability to get play to the other end of the pitch. It's been like a power play since then.

Subjectively declaring "objective" numbers for everything because they don't have self-assurance to live life and account for their choices. All their energy goes to reverse-engineering report cards to hold up and shout "See? I'm a good boy! It says on the paper you have to admit I'm a good boy!"

We never should have let Geocities go down. We could be using our pages like birth certificates.

"I disagreed with how he used the blood-powered puppy-grinder, but you can't argue with the jolly smile it put on his face. Rest in Peace to my loved and respected colleague who made life such hell for the people I constantly ask for $20 to make the hell stop."

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

After England gave up a goal while Harry Kane was rolling around on the ground like Peter Griffin and the Swiss just went a man-down for flopping, I'm starting to think that *playing soccer* might be a smart strategy going forward in these soccer matches.

Bringing one of the best tweets of all time over to Bluesky in honour of the Three Lions QF victory

Oh man, imagine knowing it's all your fault.

Amazingly self-assured comments psychoanalyzing this "Spanish" kid and predicting what an asshole they will be in the future, and how they would correct this behavior if it was their kid. I'd say to learn what Belgium's flag looks like, but you don't have to. It's labelled on the screen right there,

Here’s the part we all want to know which is behind the paywall. You’re welcome.

Let's check in on how that deal with the devil worked out... Ah, well, nevertheless.

I think there's a pretty good chance that Trump called FIFA and was like, "Belgium has been very unfair. Not nice at all. They wouldn't give me Greenland, Johnny!"

One woman in the crowd not singing along: "I prefer Supergrass"

This game is less fun since it turned into a courtroom drama

"And hereeee comes the peeee!"

There have been lots of crazy finishes, but this game has the constant urgency of Olympic overtime hockey. It's brilliant.

England is scoring hockey goals

Good thing they collected that Pendant of Life in the group stage to save Balogun from the Temple Guards

They released an emergency evacuation order where 80% of the first paragraph is customer relations boiler-plate and listing event partners, and that all comes BEFORE any instructions on *what to do*. What, are they afraid the Illuminati created the Inverted-Pyramid for writing press releases?

So close! What a game.

First: OH MY GOD Second: Running into the stands and having everyone be like, "no, dude, get back out there!" was very funny.

AFTER REVIEW CABO VERDE IS NOT MESSI DECISION IS PLAY ON

Oh no, Messi fell down that close to the box? Everyone's lucky FIFA didn't just give them the trophy then and there.

As a former professional athlete, this is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Your kid has a less than 1% chance of getting an athletic college scholarship. You’re better off putting the money into a 529 plan.

Now I know what it must have felt like for physicists to first learn about antimatter.

If you love EMCA there is not a single square-earth you can stand on better than Linköping University. I know this because people you might think of as inaccessible LEGENDS are still happy to see *ME* when I swing-by for data sessions. Everything you wish a place was, it actually is.

OH MY GOD I CAN FINALLY BREATHE!

"Why doesn't America have a fan culture like [country in the World Cup]?" is the wrong question, and becomes really obvious when you phrase it correctly: "Why doesn't corporate sport have a fan culture like community sport?"

Supergirl really proves that if you want to make a James Gunn movie then you have to get James Gunn to direct it. Even if you're James Gunn.

First keynote at #icca2026 by amazing Leelo Keevallik who has changed not only how #emca relates to the body but also how linguistics understands body and grammar.

Best of luck to everyone attending #ICCA2026 this week! It feels like I'm missing a best-friends' wedding, so please share lots if you can 💚

England and Ghana have been trying so hard not to play soccer in this game that when some actual soccer accidentally started happening you could practically see the players going "someone take this away from me!!!"

Its impossible to detect if you have the same old tired pedagogy. Its impossible to detect if you force us to mass produce teaching. It's impossible to detect if you're not interested in novel ideas or creative thinking, its impossible to detect if you lack critical thinking.

I'm sorry, you needed a HORSE??

Glad midsommar! (I forgot to take a photo at midnight last night, but this was midnight tonight)

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to show up in full combat gear on a hot summer day to the pool he filled with algae because he gave a paint job to one of his cigar puffing cronies. you are ordered to stop tourists from touching the green water. good luck soldier

If I was falling to my death and Jay Leno swung in to save me, I would fall faster to avoid him.

one anecdote: I was searching for a link to one of my old papers on Google, and the automated Gemini summary attributed all of my lab's work to my husband

Sarsfield, checking the small print of the Treaty of Limerick:

I already thought it was weird that it never comes up, and then Spielberg made a movie out of the exact same ideas and every discussion brings up Close Encounters and War of the Worlds instead.

A "Soylent Green" adaptation not quite sticking the landing

NEW — Belfast-based writer @hleehurley.com talks about the racist pogroms that have terrorized his city, how existing tensions in Northern Ireland (and *not* Elon Musk) primed local factions to turn violent, and how Minnesota’s response to ICE inspired their community to care for one another:

Early notice of the Workshop on Laughter and Other Non-Verbal Vocalisations, whose 20th anniversary is next year. Fantastic keynote speakers! The call for papers will be out in early September; until then, please feel free to circulate the information. sites.google.com/york.ac.uk/l...

Man, leaving a YouTube comment is really the internet equivalent of closing your fingers in a car door.

Absolutely huge crowds in Belfast to reject the far-right, paramilitarism, racism and border violence. A loud message to the politicians who pandered to violent paramilitary groups this week

They’re visiting the great wonders of our land and are bringing their traditions to them.
