Puppy was scared of the fireworks and went to his deaf dad for comfort. Seems like the dog could understand ASL. 🥰

We rolled up to one of those mini cooper-looking NYPD cars. I’m in the passenger seat. I rolled down the window—not to say hi, just to get some air. The sir IMMEDIATELY rolls forward so there’s no chance we can talk. Dang. Was he that worried I might say hi?

The Onion is doing funny stuff with infowars now lmfao

Starting to wonder here

stopping a one on one messi shot with your dick is a generational story to tell

in tears at the guy throwing down the kangaroo after that PK

The new InfoWars site, which is insane and heavily influenced by shawarma machines, will debut later on tonight at theonion.info. Here's a sneak peek from FastCompany.

Has a humanity/robot check on Microsoft Teams really become necessary? Or can I unlock some super pro tools if I somehow verify I'm *not* a real person instead?

If you aren't rooting for Erling Braut Haaland and the Norwegian soccer team in the World Cup, you really should be. This dude is everything that is good. www.time.kommune.no/aktuelt/engl...

End of the US game. Bar is packed full of emotional fans. Jukebox comes on. It’s Gotye and Kimbra, “Somebody I Used to Know.” Dozens of collectively shrug. Fuck it we need a singalong. Tonight we are Gotye fans

here's the link to the Neuromancer essay on MBH4H mbh4h.substack.com/p/neuromance...

Neuromancer, William Gibson's seminal cyberpunk novel, was first released exactly 42 years ago today. I read it for the first time in 2025. It holds up remarkably well and is remarkably prescient about AI—so much so that I wrote an essay about just how uncanny it is at times. I also made art

The Prophecy is Fulfilling Itself. England. In the Azteca. Sickos rejoice.

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

You work your whole career to play in the World Cup, you make the roster, you’re on the team, you sit through two games waiting for your chance, then you finally get the call, you’re gonna be on the field at the World Cup, 20 minutes in a meaningless game but still! The World Cup! And then BAM!

Powerful winds are carrying dust from Africa as far as France and Britain, where, as it falls to the ground, it may bring a reddish tint to the cities and towns still baking in one of Europe’s worst heat waves in years.

90% of modern media criticism just sounds like this

AI is bad—Elysium mbh4h.substack.com/p/elysium-mo...

Is AI a good thing or a bad thing? The answer is, yes. It's an "and," not an "or"—so I wrote two essays arguing both sides, framed around two great sci-fi films: Denis Villeneuve's Arrival and Neill Blomkamp's Elysium. First up: AI is good—Arrival. 🧵 mbh4h.substack.com/p/arrival-mo...

THREAD: Misinformation about the World Cup is already spreading online. That includes this video widely claimed to show South Koreans unfurling a giant Palestinian flag at the tournament. The clip is in fact from a 2024 qualifier vs Palestine in Seoul. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Isaac Chotiner: can you list some examples of systemic oppression green creatures face? Kermit the Frog: I’m sorry? Isaac Chotiner: well you do mention the difficulty quite a lot

The three players in this photo: 1. Nigerian heritage, grew up in England, and is only a citizen thanks to birthright citizenship. 2. Born + raised in Holland, has a dad who immigrated to the US from Suriname. 3. Said he wanted to “make people who look like me proud” while playing on Juneteenth

Scottish soccer fans in town for the World Cup made a side-trip to Fenway on Sunday and brought actual magic with them. It was such a delight and honor to get to accompany their singing.

😅

CAPE VERDE!!!!! The tiny country's first World Cup game ever, they draw tournament-favorite Spain 0-0. 40-year-old goalie Vozinha made 7 saves.

I swear to god, no one in this bar was paying attention to the national anthem until Tom Cruise showed up on TV, and we all shut up and started singing along. what the f

So how many AI agents are gonna be trading around Space X tomorrow?

it is also insanely funny that as soon as the Wu-Tang Clan showed up the whole temperature of the game changed. vibes are real, and they're powerful. Wu-Tang Forever.

I am very excited for Wu Tang Clan to perform at halftime for the start of the ceremonial come-from-behind ritual where the Knicks take Game 4.

this week marks 10 years since "milkshake duck" was coined

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

Persona 5 (🟥) was first teased on Nov 24, 2013—"Winter 2014 for PS3" tho ultimately it didn't come out until Sep 15, 2016 (oh hey, we're almost at the 10-year mark!) I imagine Persona 6 (🟩) won't be 3 more years away, but also, I'm not holding my breath for 2027 just yet youtu.be/2mZssK05WYo?...

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

I know I'm alone here, but what I really want is a Final Fantasy VII "Good Parts" Version (FF7Remix?) that's maybe half the length of the original

so many of these trailers just bleed into each other. "The kingdoms are being drained of their Bloodspark... only the Griddler can decide the fate of the six orbs..."

Genuinely hope any of the teams who paid 500k to have their trailers play with de-synced audio are refunded or compensated in some way. Obviously I know SGF doesn't want this and is likely doing everything they can to fix it, but this moment is SO important to these teams, it's such a huge bummer.

We're one hour into Summer Games Fest and up to about 26 trailers, averaging just one game per 2.6 minutes
