The Irish Times finally brings the horror of America's concentration camps to the masses, while our media continues to dance to whatever tune Trump farts out that day

my feeling is that if we are going to let AI loose we should start simple and low-risk, like criminal profiling, autonomous driving and medical advice before we let it handle complex tasks

The best possible news for Nats fans after losing the Post and other beat writers. The organization really owes Mark. Would be great if they had him throw out the first pitch at the home opener

The irony of white conservatives bringing disease into diverse urban communities is overwhelming

The Anthony Rendon of the 2026 Winter Olympics is my new favorite Olympian

Absolutely incredible. They finished 16th in the second division of English football in 2023-24. Sixth last year, promoted after two upset wins in the playoffs. And now this

literally the perfect crime. frankly every other president is stupid because they didn't think of it first

Pro Football Hall of Famer John Randle posted a statement about ICE as text overlays on various portraits of himself and I kind of love it

im sorry but we just spent the last decade being told the biggest issues were pronouns in emails and a trans kid playing jv lacrosse if you said these things and got paid for it then you need to go away. literally if “woke mind virus” is something youve ever said unironically you need to go away

Let this be my annual reminder That we can all be something bigger

The grimness of US history should encourage us. Yes, people used to send lynching postcards. And other people saw that, worked towards building a more just society anyway, and succeeded beyond anyone's wildest imagination. There's more work to be done. What's our excuse for choosing despair instead?

Maybe make a useful product you dick that's why we used to love tech you'll have a billion fans if your product doesn't suck shit

The Kyle Farnsworth-Iowa mystery might have been just been solved 🕵️‍♂️

That was the best first set I’ve seen in a minute #phish

Joe Biden once destroyed an Acela bathroom right before I used it, the scent haunts me

here’s a list of great independent media outlets to support instead of fascists:

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

For those wondering, it does look like the Phish channel on YouTube is going to be live streaming the Trey Beacon shows. You won’t have to use LivePhish if you prefer YouTube.

🧵 We are, in fact, doing the thing again for @onesimplewish.bsky.social. In 2024, the kind people of this community put the money cannon on blast to help grant $75K in wishes for children in foster care. Toys, tech, a suit for job interviews. Here we go again! 👇 www.onesimplewish.org/giving/megwa...

Incredible feeling when 20 years of hating pays off

I was skeptical, but it really is a huge upgrade from the ESPN app

@darthbluesky.bsky.social Raggedy Ann has been absolutely mauled beyond recognition, killer remains at large but I have my suspicions

You can add another data point. This federal worker is baffled and frustrated that we shut down for nothing

Spirit games at Audi are the best live sports option in DC by a country mile

I'm hard-pressed to think of a non-Jewish Democratic politician who has spoken to Jews with more respect and empathy than Mamdani. The fact that many Jewish establishment orgs are going after him while staying relatively mum on resurgent Nazism is a disaster, both for American Jews and in general.

Absolutely right. I have pleaded with people to vote blue regardless of reasonable problems with the national candidates in the past. This is clown stuff, the exact opposite of leadership

Not a hard question, except for the culture that pretends it's not the answer 1) right-wing media lies incessantly, so anyone truth-based doesn't trust it, and anyone who trusts it doesn't trust anything else 2) other media treats those lies as legitimate, for "fairness," getting trust from no one

NBA media is not built to cover a gambling scandal, but Defector is: defector.com/products

THAT’S IT!! WE’VE DONE IT!!!! CHELSEA 1-2 SUNDERLAND!!

Reposting this fantastic column with a photo of our new puppy Emmylou for maximum exposure

If you've ever driven through the intersection at Georgia and Missouri Avenues NW, you've gone through Alan's Oasis, where a homeless man has been giving out free bottles of water for more than three years. This is a such a great profile of Alan: 51st.news/dc-alans-oas...

It only happened once

very good i am glad you all came... a few words on our collective moment

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

And finally, one with me in the building 🤯😮🤯 somehow better than i could have hoped

Champions League is back, which means the best sports studio show in the land is also back, UCL Today on CBS and Paramount+. Picture "Inside the NBA" if Charles had a bit of a crush on Ernie and you're 90% there

As a former decades long WaPo subscriber, if you’re still hanging on out of nostalgia, or for the sports coverage, today is a great day to cancel your subscription. It’s one thing to say “The owner can set the editorial direction.” It’s another to fire an opinion writer for an accurate quote.

Today my 10 yo daughter got a question on her standardized test that required her to know the meaning of "profound" and she knew it because she's a Phan and knew the #phish song "Evolve" so thanks @tommarshall111.bsky.social !

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

Prioritize joy. Take up space. Organize. Go-go.
