i love @theonion.com revival and i'm an enthusiastic subscriber, but i don't like this. the ire is directed at the rubes who believe absurd conspiracy theories instead of the sex criminals, the powerful who abet their lies and abuses, and the social environment that leads those rubes to the trough

god it's good to read about something good happening for a goddamn change

impossible to describe how heartbreaking this story is. these chatbots are fundamentally inhuman, and will cause incalculable damage until they are stopped by regulations or social recognition of the foundational lies re: their actual capabilities and the very real societal and environmental costs

Irruption.

turned on the laver cup and the first point i saw was fonseca hitting a second serve return up set point that was easily fifteen feet wide. he did believe in himself, which i do genuinely respect

ladies and gentlemen, we got him

it is difficult to describe, using words, how much of a loser mark zuckerburg is. so it is helpful that he is occasionally forced to speak in public and reveal that he easily more unpleasant, by a significant margin, than the worst person you have ever met in your entire life

god these people are so pathetic. have they considered living their lives as normal human beings instead of participating in the downfall of civilization

Who wore it better? (Black Heron) 📷 Thomas Gibson, eBird

led a bird walk on monday and 300+ broad-winged hawks streamed overhead as the group assembled in the parking lot. always cool to see, but especially lucky it happened at that moment when lots of new birders got to experience it and learn about migration and the wonders of kettling raptors 🪶

obviously "beloved coastal highway" is absurd, and the intro sounds like it's going in a car-brained direction, but overall the article is pretty good relative to usual nyt coverage and accurately depicts the local residents as selfishly prioritizing their own convenience over the greater good

this from ta-nehisi coates should be beamed into the skull of every person in america on repeat until sanity returns

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

can’t decide if the us open final was boring or if i just have bad vibes bc trump cursed it with his presence

sinner was NOT going to be passive on those first two match points lmao

such a classic scene

i am sorry but i don't think taylor (fritz) is going to do it

i would go to war for venus williams and leylah fernandez

i would go to war for venus williams and leylah fernandez

it is incredibly 'penko to discover days later that she was actually the one who was rude following the net cord incident lmao

this stat makes it look like coco is chasing the others until you consider that she turned sixteen in 2020

i love how coco gauff’s mom always brings out her phone to record coco’s big moments with a shaky iphone video that will go to the family group chat. big mom energy and i’m here for it

very funny that the USTA is branding this medvedev v bonzi match, literally right now at 12:39 a.m. on a sunday, as “primetime at the us open” lmao

daniil medvedev is a good case study in the ongoing debate about whether or not being an elite tennis player, uninterrupted and for years at a time, is compatible with being a fairly regular person who has a life outside of the tour

I can’t believe doing nothing but in the most annoying way possible isn’t working www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Sara and Vava:

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

leaving for a proper vacation tonight for the first time in a long time and i am once again reminded that the closest a human being can get to being back in the womb is an airport bar no i will not be elaborating any further

declined to post what i think would have been a really good bit on nextdoor because i'm in favor of a more productive discourse. and i really do mean it about better discourse. but to be clear i also believe in the bit. it would have been thermonuclear, and beautiful #a2council

the haters said yes on A and B would ride the community's love for libraries and the AADL's decades of proven leadership to victory in the #a2council election today. and they were correct. honestly great call by the haters

just turned on the tennis and was alarmed to learn that the canada open only had TWO (!!!!!!) singles matches at each event today?? they lenghethened the season, at great expense to the players, for *this*??

seems like a bad use of resources in a city that is desperately in need of safe ped/bike infrastructure at street level. completely car-brained to spend $10s of millions to force pedestrians up staircases and long ramps for the explicit purpose preserving n main as a highway #a2council

i know everyone who follows #a2council is sick of A and B, and i am sorry but this post from one of the dug-in LCG nextdoor warriors is notable. it is sending me into galaxies unknown. how do i survive in a future in which this doesn’t come to fruition

The argument that #AnnArbor and #a2council didn't do a damn thing to support the Center of the City completely ignores the investment of city resources in creating and supporting the Council of the Commons. As someone who gave time & energy as a member of that body, it's both baffling and offensive.

most striking in this wild Library Green Conservancy proposal is to see their characterization of the AADL when they wanted something from AADL versus now, when LGC supporters are accusing its leadership of a fraud against the people without any evidence #a2council drive.google.com/file/d/15Qt5...

A very special letter to Damn Arbor from former AALD Director, Josie Parker. www.damnarbor.com/2025/07/lett... #a2Council

enjoyed a lovely afternoon delivering lawn signs for @moreneighborsa2.org and as a bonus met some friendly neighbors in the process. sign the petition and get a sign to show support for building more housing in *all* ann arbor neighborhoods!!!! #a2council 🏘️🛖🏡🏰🏡🏢🏠🏯🏫 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

WU-TANG FOREVER 👐🏽

Here's a poem by one of the old Chinese scholar bureaucrats that I think captures a certain Vibe very well

the trump administration sent human beings to an extrajudicial foreign concentration camp to be beaten and tortured and then used them to trade for the release of a convicted murderer who killed three people with an iron bar and a machete because he wrongfully thought one of them slept with his wife

every single person who contributed to this atrocity should rot in prison for the rest of their lives. one of the most dystopian and fucked up things i have ever read. relieved they have been released and hope they one day get the justice they deserve

fascinating that even for google searches without an AI summary, only 15% of searches result in a click-through. i must use the internet differently than the rest of the world because if i'm googling something, i *always* click at least one link to find what i'm looking for, if not multiple links

does the current #a2council speaker (who called in, long silence before the comment started, i think the name was announced as irma mayor or something?) sound like it was actually an AI bot? or am i losing it and should log off forever??????

stop 👏 anthropomorphizing 👏 the 👏 chatbot 👏

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

this is how i feel if alcaraz breaks back for 4-4

the wimbledon men’s final has featured some extraordinary tennis in moments but imo it has been otherwise a surprisingly dull affair so far

ostapenko as world number one in doubles is the change we need to see in the world

credit to swiatek she is absolutely battering every ball

I'm a professor at the flagship university for the fourth whitest state in the US. Over 80% of our students are white. The biggest barrier to access here is that due to lack of state funding, we have top 10 highest tuition per capita of public unis in the country. We also have a food pantry.
