Has anyone actually seen this guy in person? Are we absolutely sure this isn't one of those Anthropic case studies gone away?

#crew96 fans I know it feels like we're as bad as SKC, Portland and Orlando; but in reality we're only as bad as Montreal and Philly.

No Kings except Weston McKennie

Speaking in my capacity as a guy who has been to Adams County, Ohio, I would very much like to know why in heaven’s name Afroman has elected to live in Adams County, Ohio

Congratulations to Wavin' Flag and Waka Waka for being the official World Cup anthems for the fifth straight time

it is my life’s mission to find the guy who’s pitching “no income taxes below [seemingly upper-middle-class threshold]” to big Dems electeds and hit him with a whiffle bat until he stops doing that

the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

Feels like a very important read these days for all sports fans. But given the Jones/Yeboah scandal, it’s especially pertinent for MLS fans. (Also it’s brilliantly written. There’s just nothing like a good longform)

Crew may not be playing tier 1 MLS soccer right now, but Rydström is giving tier 1 MLS press conferences

Soccer, as-is, is almost perfect. Wenger's offside change would make it significantly worse, and for the life of me I can't understand why people don't see that.

Anthropic seems genuinely well-intentioned but also sort of insane, which I guess makes them better than most tech companies.

actually probably the most serious discussion of ai impact on employment i have seen it is from bill kristol. as a millenial i am obligated to note how weird it is that i am saying anything nice about bill kristol every time i mention bill kristol

we should proceed with prosecutions with the presumption that the president cannot pardon crimes he ordered to occur while simultaneously advancing court-packing legislation.

One of my most fervent beliefs is that homeschooling should be illegal. It is the domain of religious psychos and white supremacists and the kids always pay a heavy price

I DECLARE A PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY

Oh my fucking god relationism twitter is about to stampede through central Ohio, everybody hold onto your escadinhas.

I see the justice department have had a go at Tristram Shandy too.

Anyways I’m here on MLS SuperDraft day, the holiest day of the year, to remind you of the greatest social media handle in the history of SuperDraft picks. MLS peaked at this very moment.

Having $800M in your investment account vs $400M doesn't change your life at all, but having a labor market where your underlings are desperate to cling to jobs vs one where they can walk across the street and get a better offer makes a huge difference in the day to day reality of the very wealthy

Fair play to Inter Miami fans. You've been waiting year for this.

Just give Doyle and Wiebe a small budget and complete editorial freedom to make 10 hours of stuff worth watching on Apple TV every week, it would transform MLS overnight

Good night, sweet prince. Your watch is ended.

It's "as evident as day" that DHH is part of the cohort of tech leaders who cannot stop breaking laws and harming the vulnerable, including their workers. May they all get the accountability they deserve, and have every punishment visited upon them that they can't stop inflicting on the innocent.

Jake's made a great synopsis of DHH. I first met DHH almost 25 years ago, spoke at his office, helped promote his products, hosted him at events. DHH thinks you can tell by *looking* whether someone is a "native". Because he thinks people who look like me can never belong to our countries. Fuck him.

Ahead of the beefy #Crew96 match v. Chicago Fire at Soldier Field Saturday, I did a Q&A with Gregg Berhalter, former Crew and #USMNT and current #cf97 coach. It's not paywalled. Have a look. If you wish, tip and subscribe. #thedisrespected #disrespectedmedia www.thedisrespected.com/a-q-a-with-g...

#Crew96 game v. Toronto tonight. Big three points in offing for Columbus. Crew coaches/players have been talking about a need for a nastier edge to their game. I'll be columnizing at my new home thedisrespected.com. New posts M-W-F.

on break from my all day meeting and…

If you sing country roads at your stadium, we get to call it soccer.

i do not believe that billionaires should be able to set the conditions under which democracies are permitted to govern, and therefore should not exist.

@brimackay15.bsky.social I think I heard M. Arace refer to Cincy as Porkopolis in the last episode of the Speakeasy - how old is Mr. Arace exactly?

how come no one's fighting over the name "porkopolis" anymore

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

What's the color of the boathouse at Hereford?

If everyone is building *so much good software* with AI, where is all the good software?

Don't overthink it: we already figured out the morally correct way to justly ascribe collective blame for historical atrocities and it's that Everything Is England's Fault

this is not an approval poll! i disapprove of the Democrats and will vote for any Democrat.

unstated by Dimon but this is as much about why they were so desperate to crush the booming Biden-era labor market. Desperate to end the "perk" of WFH but they couldn't while employees were hard to hire and could leave for better jobs. Now that the labor market is frozen up, the chains tighten

Ray Hudson and Chris Wittyngham's reaction to Yann Sommer's unreal save is a proper reaction respective to the moment (Ray is as loud as you think he is) #UCL

"I keep thinking of the movie There Will Be Blood," Ray Hudson says before demonstrating the only thing he knows about There Will Be Blood is the title of the movie To be clear, I think this rules

Zuck: The average American has three friends.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down
