Did it occur to anyone at Kalshi that it was a little on-the-nose to have an ad with the song that goes “Here’s a toast to the douchebags”?

I would suggest he does focus on his team. What a whiner. As if he had a vested right to benefit from a bad call? Not sure there is any high ground here, but Belgium sure sacrificed it with this complaining.

Al Jazeera says police "sparked a confrontation with Egypt’s national team director Ibrahim Hassan, as players posed for a photo with a young fan at their hotel in Dallas." The one thing DPD had to do was not cause an international incident. And yet. Here we are.

Been telling people this for over a year! At the same time that eggs reached an all time high we also saw a record number of eggs laid. The math didn't add up. I logged over 4,700 egg prices in 2025 alone. The data was fascinating.

Thats…so little

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

He says he doesn’t know if they were guilty. Of being witches.

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

SCOTUS: Who's to say what the President intended? POTUS: I don't like black people. I don't like countries full of black people. I want this country to only allow whites in. SCOTUS: So mysterious ...

TikTok's latest illegal 'life hack' seems to be 'dispute credit card transactions for free stuff' and legality aside I am here to beg you: Do not do this to small businesses. It really fucks them over in ways you may not be aware of beyond stealing from them (which is, to be clear, what this is).🧵

The World Cup is proof that if not for our leaders, the vast majority of the world's people would get along just fine.

Some years ago, I wrote a lengthy piece on Bob Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde" that was never published. Given that the LP is turning 60, I thought it was the perfect time to crack open my archives and share this with the world, as I was very happy with it. anniezaleski.substack.com/p/lost-liner...

Bad! This is bad: www.kut.org/education/20...

The Statesman is too busy with local austerity sensationalism to investigate the link between these headlines. But idk maybe we should tax the *trillionaire Austin resident* who spends his days inciting racist riots abroad so my kids school can have a fucking librarian next year….

Thanks to VAR, players can no longer get away with doing this during games

Fuck this guy and fuck you if you voted for him.

There's no better case for socialism than the world's first trillionaire being a massive loser who cosplays as his mom and baby online and lies about being good at video games in an attempt to give his life meaning.

Zero (0) of Epstein's victims had the ability to self-fund litigation against Epstein or anyone like him. The only way they had any chance is through contingency fee representation. Everyone in Big Law knows that, they sneer at it anyway because they know it's morally superior to their work.

if you need to screenshot fascists in order to generate engagement, get a damn hobby

Forever obsessed with Peter Jackson just trying to direct a movie scene and Christopher Lee starts going off about 60 year old murders he either witnessed or did himself during World War 2.

BACK-TO-BACK 🤘 Texas softball defeats Texas Tech to claim the 2026 WCWS National Championship.

the court has effectively ended all possible remedies for voting discrimination against racial minorities (one assumes that any group of white voters faced with the indignity of a majority-minority district will have the supreme court ready to support their challenge). electionlawblog.org?p=156541

This answer alone should destroy this administration. This conversation is essentially: “people are hurting.” “ceos are fine.”

I wonder how Lisa Demuth feels about her party having a moment of silence for Derek Chauvin but not her murdered colleague, with whom she had a ”really good” relationship. Seems like it’d be worth asking her. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

This is what corruption looks like.

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

I'm sitting here grinding my teeth. They didn't choose. They didn't make a judgement call. They just ran probabilities without regard for the result. It doesn't understand anything, it makes answer-shaped answers. Stop attributing agency to a glorified equation.

Here we go, I had it saved on my phone. Again, you can tell Lincoln is a genius because if I was ever asked to edit something as good as the Seward copy I would just send it back with a "yeah, looks good man, thanks for making the first pass at this" in red ink.

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

Because this country likes to forget what it’s capable of, I take it as a duty to remind us. We sit at the brink of the largest decimation of Black political power since the fall of Reconstruction — a Second Redemption. And the end of Black political power means the end of democracy itself.

I assigned random gender/ethnicity labels to scientific abstracts from the literature and then asked Claude to do a thematic analysis. Claude identified a clinical versus computational split for female/male authors and a DEI focus for Black/URM authors. All in completely random data.

Lmao this is literally the worst possible way to respond, these people are such thin skinned losers who are also, it bares remembering, bad at their jobs

Pheeee-ewwww #COYS

it's wild how the dominant political belief in the west is "people from other countries are BAD NEWS" in an age where every video of different people trying each other's food is like "I would like to meet the person who made this and give them a kiss"

One of the VERY FIRST things done after the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was to have the text of the new Constitution translated into Dutch and German, which were at the time the two largest non-English language spoken in the United States. Here's the National Archives making this point:

When police officers violate constitutional rights, there should be accountability. @radleybalko.bsky.social traces how the Supreme Court has steadily dismantled the legal tools Congress created to provide accountability, and what it would take to restore it.

I think taking seriously that the president is an honest-to-God deranged gangster, and every lawful institution meant to stop that from happening has failed and has no real prospect of functioning, is so unsettling that a lot of folks have just decided to retreat into fantasy as a coping mechanism.

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

One of the defining hallmarks of our modern age is that people in charge of good things are willing to make them incrementally worse for a chance to make more money, knowing most people are powerless to stop it.

Man, that sounds terrible. Killed with impunity by agents of the state for just being on the street and protesting? Hard to see how regimes like that can continue to claim a popular mandate.

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.
