Hey @nwslsoccer.com all of these in-game advertisements are ruining your product. You know, the game I’m trying to watch?

i’m evolved enough to punch him in his stupid face

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

The only player in league history to score on her 200th start continues to make history ⚡ Sofia Huerta becomes only the fifth player in NWSL history to reach 200 starts, and the only player in league history to score in every season since her rookie year in 2015. 👏

1. London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers. After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

If all the nobles could just get out of their exposed positions in the countryside—where all sorts of trouble can ensue—and live near and attend and party with the sun king on the well-guarded premises of Versailles, I think it’s a great investment for the French people.

I'm not a plumber. But I'm pretty sure that's not how sinks work.

This is peak AI mania: identify a task that has long been well- and cheaply-handled by human beings, pay to use an LLM (which is ill-suited for the task), and be completely shocked when it goes disastrously.

As I told a reporter last week, nearly all convocation brouhahas boil down to a single issue: Students, even normie non-radical students, rightly understand graduation as a day that is for them, and about them, and which belongs to them. You fuck with that at your peril.

This is nice but we must have missed when Senator Lamar Alexander did this himself 😕 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/u...

But even this is a misnomer. For the vast majority of TV history, most shows were episodic not serialized and therefore had no *need* for filler because there was no larger narrative to pad out over 22 episodes. Outside of nighttime soaps/family dramas, each episode was a stand-alone story!

if only Mary Shelley had warned us in 1818 about the dangers of literature instead of the reckless, hubristic pursuit of scientific and technological advancement carried out by ghoulish men with no regard for humanity—men who would desecrate the dead and kill the living to feed their power hunger.

saying that MTG sacrificed her career for the cause is pretty rich considering the reality is she wanted to run for senate, trump said no, and she immediately turned heel on the right.

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

So Tennessee republicans can blatantly strip majority-Black Memphis of representation 9-0, but virginia voters VOTE to redistrict and it gets struck down? What a country. 🇺🇸

My first job out of college, before grad school, was for a historic property redeveloper with an MBA. He asked me why he should hire a philosophy major. I said “because I can learn whatever you need me to learn faster than anyone else you could hire while outthinking them, too.” Humanities forever.

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

This is a very good thread about AI.

this is really heartwarming. two men exchanging symbolic tokens of things the other has no interest in (football, peace)

As a Democrat in Tennessee this is just profoundly untrue? The GOP gets away with just about everything they want here. They don’t have to listen to opposition voices.

"Jews and Black people" is how you say "cosmopolitan communists and race hustlers" in English.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Those Democrats locking arms? The gallery making noise in protest? The thousands of us who called our representatives? We are the South too. Don’t erase us like our lawmakers erase us.

The TN Supermajority hates its constituents.

Crazy stat I just told @chrislhayes.bsky.social: Memphis has had its own congressional district since 1923 and now Republicans splitting it three ways to intentionally dilute Black vote

god hates gerrymandering

REP. @justinjpearson.bsky.social on the new maps: “This is just wrong. And everyone knows why this is happening. This is an attack on our Black majority district… we’re changing laws to change statutes to make things that were illegal legal.”

⚡️ JUST NOW - “HANDS OFF OUR VOTE!” The Crowd disrupts senate committee as @GovBillLee & republicans move to strip memphis of representation for Trump, causing them to adjourn and flee

a basic tenet of Republican governance is that cities should not have power www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/u...

Love to see it. And at this point, delay is a win because this wave is building and the more people learn about these products and their sociotechnical context, the more negatively they are perceived.

If I were writing YA I'm not sure I would want to be published by an imprint that advertised ahead of time that my book was purposefully neutered to appeal to busybodies who would still be likely to find fault at anything that did not exactly conform to their own particular brand of repression

My polite and effective way of saying this is this screenshot and a heavy handed but gentle stare at…quite a few of you.

This is so cathartic, because this is how I want to talk to that weirdo.

being unable to find something healthy and delicious in new york city is the biggest skill issue of all time

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology. This is a serious escalation.

maybe USWNT is playing poorly because their jerseys are bad.

What if we just cleared Congress of all the abusers and sex pests this week what is stopping us who cares what party they are in
