enjoy it while you can Brits because under woke 2 Wonderwall will be a violation of international law

I root against England simply because I do not want to hear Wonderwall at the end of a football match.

Wonderwall is such an embarrassing national song, absolutely washed country

waffles, smurfs, king leopold, slow french, racist airlines... take your pick

How shallow must your ideas be to alarm(!!) people in finance? What the hell are they suggesting?!

Baudrillard spinning in his grave so fast he torpedoes out of the hillside and remains airborne, lasers shooting out of his eyes with such force earth is cleanly cut in two

Anyway I’m sitting here now thinking about the way Sacco got a whole redemption arc around their “Africans get AIDS, and white people don’t” joke and Elon Musk cutting USAID and stopping the most successful prevention and treatment program on the continent shortly afterwards.

here in DC National Guard has been deployed to "make DC safe and beautiful": a hostile invasion opposed by local political leadership, not to mention most of the rest of us. today they are helping herd Trump supporters by force into the National Museum of African-American History.

The Department of Energy removed roughly 6,000 web pages covering energy conservation topics The deletions came as over 165 million Americans faced dangerous heat across the Midwest and East Coast Energy Secretary Chris Wright had separately ordered mid-Atlantic data centers onto backup power

There are a range of media and people who have lost their mind about Mamdani. At the time of real threats to democracy they treat him evoking the American creed they grew up with as dangerous radicalism.

important to revisit the words of the Founding Fathers on this day

400 masked cowardly Patriot Front bros walking through D.C. once, then fleeing ain’t shit, peeps. They are a tiny fetid drop in the American bucket. Remember Minneapolis at -20F. We are bigger, braver, and stronger. By a mile.

There's a perverse symbolism in the legacy of White racism sheltering under the bowers of all African Americans have done for this country while patiently waiting for the chance to go back to insisting we are a drain upon their society and that they never needed us at all.

seeing more of a particular brand of aggro post lately ("if you weren't a coward you'd be doing xyz thing that would have you dead or in jail" from posters who appear to themselves neither be dead or in jail). could just be feds/bots/trolls trying to entrap people on here but a PSA just in case

1000 evaluators given identical resumes & told candidate used AI. Only difference on resumes was candidate’s name: Emily vs James. Study found women using AI are evaluated as less competent than men who use AI...To evaluators, women’s AI use signaled inability, while men’s AI use signaled initiative

"and another thing: i haven't lost the Mandate of Heaven. please don't put in the newspaper that i lost the Mandate of Heaven."

The weather on Juneteeth was incredible. Make of that what you will.

The rest of the world can have electric vehicles. The US cannot because little boys need to hear vroom-vroom noises.

You're going to watch the entire legal establishment flip on its head, too, now that their lords and masters have informed them that it's a Reasonable Topic of Disagreement™. The idea that this was completely settled law for a hundred years is going to be totally verboten to mention.

Trump is glitching heavily tonight: "All voters must show voter ID. All motorsssss must-- all voters"

Vozinha abraça sua mãe após o jogo com a Argentina ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What I find entertaining in a fucked up way is that 40 years ago anti-communist propaganda claimed socialism and democracy were innately at odds. Now those in power are more or less going full 180 and equating democracy with socialism as part of their fascist crusade.

The “makers” vs “takers” framing is producerism, and it often gets used by racists who want to pretend like they are champions of the working class

Vozinha, Cape Verde’s 40-year-old goalkeeping hero, now has more Instagram followers than all active NFL, MLB and NHL athletes, and all but three NBA players 🤯 The power of the World Cup is unmatched 🇨🇻

Trump is not “abandoning” all discrimination cases: “the agency has aggressively prioritized Mr. Trump’s goals, such as pursuing cases of white men who believe they have been discriminated against.” www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

When the smoke from too many fireworks obscures the view of too many fireworks …that’s MAGA

Think it shows both how divisive and culturally tasteless and uninventive the US admin is that the 250 celebrations weren't even marginally interesting on a global scale. (Except for laughing at) The big rich country with huge cultural heft should have been able to do more.

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

I know all you white people are surprised but this is what we've had to live with in 250 years in this nation. At first I thought there was this AI but yeah diss tracks.

It’s interesting how the right’s take on US History has come to resemble that of the nation’s most radical left critics, only with the valence flipped 180 degrees. “America was founded on prisons and the police,” and that’s what makes America the great land of the free!

In other "excellent news from religious bodies", the US Presbyterian General Assembly has formally voted to start the process to (correctly) declare white Christian nationalism a theological error incompatible with the teachings of Jesus: pres-outlook.org/2026/07/pcus...

new metaphor just dropped

Cabo Verde was heroic. Never to be forgotten

When I explain to peeps how much we do in research labs for how few $$, they simply don’t believe me. I once explained it to a famous person from Pixar, he looked me square in the eye and said “You mean all the cancer, vision, and Alzheimer’s grants work that way? You’ve gotta be %#ing kidding me!”

Cape Verde defeats Argentina via a 2-3 loss in extra time

Vozinha with a huge save to take us into the pausa

Vozinha ko dexa Messi poi maz nenhum. pa ka passa nenhum golu.

The Democratic Socialists want your children to be fed healthy nourishing food and receive the best possible medical care, and to do that they intend to raise taxes on a handful of corrupt and squalid pedophiliac monsters who have stolen 1000x more money than anyone can spend—well not in MY America.

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

I remember a couple of moral panics ago where Liberals were all soft, special, oversensitive snowflakes

Absolutely this. Right-wing capitalism wants to reinforce the idea that the only meaningful 'returns' on education or intellectual endeavor are economic. They've successfully restricted the meaning of 'return' to mean $, salary, ignoring or dismissing the non-economic returns of thinking.

Yes! Mamdani calling out America’s Ugly Freedoms! And showing how to make freedom for all, not just a few

There is a certain kind of white liberal who simply cannot comprehend narratives that center the struggle and glory of Black Americans, and will only see the suffering.

As an American history professor, I regularly read new books, articles, and dissertations, and also evaluate unpublished manuscripts for journals and book publishers. I would not categorize the recent and emerging historiography in the binary way that Ezra Klein does.

this mamdani speech is aggressively lincoln-pilled. it’s very funny that he’s coded as the leftist when his actual politics so far is unapologetically resistlib-meets-hope-and-change

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

African, can confirm: every moment of your life has been spent during an atrocity somewhere, perpetuated or exacerbated by a larger number of countries and corporations than many care to admit.
